Insect Science, EarlyView.We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Analyses of factors influencing the population dynamics of cereal aphids and their relevance to model extensions [PDF]
, 2008 Aphids annually infest winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L., in late spring and early summer in Central Europe, but densities leading to strong yield losses are reached only occasionally (Basedow et al., 1994).

Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda Smith) feeding elicits differential defense responses in upland and lowland switchgrass [PDF]
, 2019 Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a low input, high biomass perennial grass being developed for the bioenergy sector. Upland and lowland cultivars can differ in their responses to insect herbivory.

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.

Resistance of sugarcane, Saccharum spp., to the sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), the vector of Sugarcane yellow leaf virus : S701M07 Insect related Interactions at a Multi-trophic Ecosystem [PDF]
, 2012 The sugarcane aphid Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is the main vector of the Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV; genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae), a disease of economical importance in the sugarcane growing area.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...
