Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Flowering Plant Species Differ in Their Suitability for Orius strigicollis (Poppius): Effects on Plant Preference, Longevity and Oviposition Under Laboratory Conditions

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering plant species can support pest control by providing resources for natural enemies. Polyphagous predatory species of the genus Orius occur in many parts of the world and are widely used as biological control agents. They feed on several common pest species and can additionally utilize plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Recent plant photosynthate as a driver of ecological and evolutionary processes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Timeline of key eco‐evolutionary outcomes arising from belowground allocation of recent plant photosynthate from shoots. Summary Plants rapidly allocate carbon from photosynthesis belowground via root exudates and root‐associated microorganisms. Here we synthesise recent evidence of our understanding of the consequences of this ‘fast’ pathway of recent

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...
