Responses to aphid sex pheromones by the pea aphid parasitoids Aphidius ervi and Aphidius eadyi [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Aphidius ervi and Aphidius eadyi, two parasitoids of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, were attracted to components of the aphid sex pheromone in laboratory bioassays.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

A Novel Insecticidal Peptide SLP1 Produced by Streptomyces laindensis H008 against Lipaphis erysimi

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
Aphids are major insect pests for crops, causing damage by direct feeding and transmission of plant diseases. This paper was completed to discover and characterize a novel insecticidal metabolite against aphids from soil actinobacteria.

Maize resistance to insect herbivory is enhanced by silencing expression of genes for jasmonate‐isoleucine degradation using sugarcane mosaic virus

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2022
Previously, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) was developed as a vector for transient expression of heterologous genes in Zea mays (maize). Here, we show that SCMV can also be applied for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) of endogenous maize genes ...

Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Further contributions to the tritrophic plant-aphid-parasitoid associations in Malta with special reference to Aphis nerii (Hemiptera, Aphidoidea) as a prevalent refugium of Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Four species of aphid parasitoids, namely Aphidius colemani, Binodoxys angelicae, Lysiphlebus fabarum and Lysiphlebus testaceipes were reared from Aphis nerii on Nerium oleander and/or Stephanotis floribunda in Malta.

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...

Assessing the potential for insecticide cross‐resistance to a novel insecticide in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) using phenotypic and transcript expression analysis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenotypic and transcriptional responses to imidacloprid and isocycloseram were examined across U.S. populations of the Colorado potato beetle, showing evidence of phenotypic cross‐resistance alongside population‐level variation in detoxification gene expression.
