Improved Genome Assembly and Annotation of the Soybean Aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura)

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Aphids are an economically important insect group due to their role as plant disease vectors. Despite this economic impact, genomic resources have only been generated for a small number of aphid species.

Temporal variations in English Populations of a forest insect pest, the green spruce aphid (Elatobium abietinum), associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation and global warming [PDF]

, 2007
Based on an exceptionally long modern ecological dataset (41 years), it has been possible to show that warm weather in England associated with a positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index causes the spring migration of the green spruce aphid ...

Detection of Apple Hammerhead Viroid, Apple Luteovirus 1 and Citrus Concave Gum-Associated Virus in Apple Propagation Materials and Orchards in the Czech Republic and Hungary

Viruses, 2022
Grafting cultivars onto rootstocks is a widely used practice by the apple industry predominantly aimed at faster fruit bearing. Using high-throughput sequencing, we revealed the presence of recently described viral agents, namely apple hammerhead viroid (

Methyl Salicylate Can Benefit Ornamental Pest Control, and Does Not Alter Per Capita Predator Consumption at Close-Range

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore-induced plant volatile widely tested for attracting natural enemies for pest control. MeSA is commercially sold as slow-release lures or as a spray.

Aphid transmission of nanoviruses [PDF]

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 2020
AbstractThe genus Nanovirus consists of plant viruses that predominantly infect legumes leading to devastating crop losses. Nanoviruses are transmitted by various aphid species. The transmission occurs in a circulative nonpropagative manner. It was long suspected that a virus‐encoded helper factor would be needed for successful transmission by aphids ...

Sequence analysis and genomic organization of Aphid lethal paralysis virus: a new member of the family Dicistroviridae [PDF]

, 2002
The complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of an aphid-infecting virus, Aphid lethal paralysis virus (ALPV), has been determined. The genome is 9812 nt in length and contains two long open reading frames (ORFs), which are separated by an ...

Enhancing protein signal detection in asexual and viviparous pea aphids: A guided protocol for tissue dissection and proteinase K treatment

MethodsX
Aphids, as hemipteran insects, reproduce via parthenogenesis and viviparity, resulting in rapid and exponential offspring production. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying parthenogenetic viviparity in asexual aphids, precise protein ...

Asymptomatic Host Plant Infection by the Widespread Pathogen Botrytis cinerea Alters the Life Histories, Behaviors, and Interactions of an Aphid and Its Natural Enemies

Insects, 2018
Plant pathogens can profoundly affect host plant quality as perceived by their insect herbivores, with potentially far-reaching implications for the ecology and structure of insect communities.

Identification of Novel Pesticides for Use against Glasshouse Invertebrate Pests in UK Tomatoes and Peppers

Insects, 2015
To inform current and future pesticide availability to glasshouse vegetable growers, the current project trialled more than twenty products, including existing industry standards, against four key pests of glasshouse tomatoes and bell peppers.
