Attributions

We succeeded in culturing B. Xyphilus by S. Cerevisiae to establish the system of inducing RNAi by feeding. In addition, we transformed the plasmid coding hairpin-dsRNA to S. Cerevisiae, fed it to B. Xyphilus, and observed it.

■General support

  • Dr. Makoto Kitabatake (Institute for Virus Research, Kyoto University) helped us all through our project, provided us with a laboratory, and gave us professional advice as well as training us on the experiment of S. Cerevisiae and RNA.
  •  
  • Dr. Knut Woltjen (Center of iPS Cell Research and Application, Kyoto University) helped us all through our project, and gave us professional advice.

■Project support and advice

  • Dr. Yuko Takeuchi (Department of Agriculture, Kyoto University) provided us with B. Xylophilus, trained us on culturing and observing it ,and also provided us with a laboratory.

  • Mr. Suguru Tanaka (Department of Agriculture, the University of Tokyo) trained us on culturing B. Xylophilus, and gave us a professional advice on it.

■Fundraising help and advice

  • COSMO BIO provided us with reagents and kits, free of charge.

  • Promega Corporation provided us with regents and kits, free of charge.
