Refuges and host shift pathways of host-specialized aphids Aphis gossypii

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Polyphagous cotton-melon aphid populations usually comprise cotton- and cucurbit-specialized biotypes. Host-specialized aphids are prone to food shortages.

Symbionts protect aphids from parasitic wasps by attenuating herbivore-induced plant volatiles

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Plants respond to insect attack by releasing blends of volatile chemicals that attract their herbivores’ specific natural enemies, while insect herbivores may carry endosymbiotic microorganisms that directly improve herbivore survival after natural enemy

Rapid Identification of Aphid Species by Headspace GC-MS and Discriminant Analysis

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Aphids are a ubiquitous group of pests in agriculture that cause serious losses. For sustainable aphid identification, it is necessary to develop a precise and fast aphid identification tool. A new simple chemotaxonomy approach to rapidly identify aphids

Facultative bacterial symbionts in aphids confer resistance to parasitic wasps

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2003
Symbiotic relationships between animals and microorganisms are common in nature, yet the factors controlling the abundance and distributions of symbionts are mostly unknown.

Distance to semi‐natural habitats matters for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in wheat roots and wheat performance in a temperate agricultural landscape

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 262-274, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction The proximity of semi‐natural habitats and agricultural fields in an agricultural landscape leads to unavoidable biological, chemical, and physical interactions. Fungi can negatively influence, but also support crop growth in agricultural fields.

AtWRKY22 promotes susceptibility to aphids and modulates salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signalling

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2016
Highlight The transcription factor WRKY22 increases susceptibility to aphids in Arabidopsis via the suppression of salicylic acid signalling.

Effect of epicuticular waxes from triticale on the feeding behaviour and mortality of the grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection Research, 2016
Surface waxes from wax-covered triticale plants (RAH 122) were sprayed on plants of the waxless genotype RAH 366 or the surface waxes were used to make artificial diet preparations.

Advancing Early Detection of Virus Yellows: Developing a Hybrid Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Aphid Counting in Sugar Beet Fields [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Aphids are efficient vectors to transmit virus yellows in sugar beet fields. Timely monitoring and control of their populations are thus critical to prevent the large-scale outbreak of virus yellows. However, the manual counting of aphids, which is the most common practice, is labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Host plants and obligate endosymbionts are not the sources for biosynthesis of the aphid alarm pheromone

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
(E)-β-farnesene (EβF) is the major component of the alarm pheromone of many aphid species, but where EβF is synthesized in aphids is only partly understood.

A New Dataset and Comparative Study for Aphid Cluster Detection [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Aphids are one of the main threats to crops, rural families, and global food security. Chemical pest control is a necessary component of crop production for maximizing yields, however, it is unnecessary to apply the chemical approaches to the entire fields in consideration of the environmental pollution and the cost.
