Baculoviruses are used for pest control in agroecosystems, where parasitoids are present. We assessed whether parasitoids discriminate against virus‐infected hosts and examined the effect of the virus on parasitoid offspring. We found few indirect effects of the virus on the parasitoids, indicating that both agents can be combined.

Soybean (Glycine max) is an economically important crop, ranking first among the edible oilseed crops in the world due to its oil content and nutritional value. Besides, it is used as a dietary supplement and a source of pharmaceuticals. The recent rapid climate changes and increasing global population have led to increasing demand for vegetable oil ...

Phytophagous mite performance on intact plants and leaf discs with different defence levels
Herbivore performance bioassays are usually done on intact plants or on detached plant parts. As mechanical wounding may change plant quality in detached parts, possibly inducing plant defences, we compared the performance of a phytophagous mite on intact tomato plants vs. leaf discs.

Little is known about how variation in host resource quantity affects pathogen co‐infections. Here, we show that changes in dietary quantity do not alter mortality in mixed pathogen infections in an insect host. However, a virus and a fungus did respond differently to changes in host nutritional status through subtle changes in duration of infection ...

Progress in soybean functional genomics over the past decade
Summary Soybean is one of the most important oilseed and fodder crops. Benefiting from the efforts of soybean breeders and the development of breeding technology, large number of germplasm has been generated over the last 100 years. Nevertheless, soybean breeding needs to be accelerated to meet the needs of a growing world population, to promote ...

Evidence of Rapid Evolution in Herbivory Defense Responses With Conserved Trade-Offs in Populations of <i>Medicago polymorpha</i>. [PDF]
This study uses a historical invasion by Medicago polymorpha (Burr Clover) to test the predictive power of the Shifting Defense Hypothesis (SDH) by investigating variation in plant defenses to herbivorous insects. We compared the feeding preferences of a generalist and a specialist herbivore on native and invasive populations of M.
