Combining NMR– and LC–HRMS–based metabolomics reveals that root and leaf metabolic changes in boxwood predated by box–tree moth occur at the same density of predation for both central and specialized metabolisms. Abstract The recent biological invasion of box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis on Buxus trees has a major impact on European boxwood stands ...

Weakly Supervised Learning Guided by Activation Mapping Applied to a Novel Citrus Pest Benchmark [PDF]
Pests and diseases are relevant factors for production losses in agriculture and, therefore, promote a huge investment in the prevention and detection of its causative agents. In many countries, Integrated Pest Management is the most widely used process to prevent and mitigate the damages caused by pests and diseases in citrus crops.

Not All Asians are the Same: A Disaggregated Approach to Identifying Anti-Asian Racism in Social Media [PDF]
Recent policy initiatives have acknowledged the importance of disaggregating data pertaining to diverse Asian ethnic communities to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their current status and to improve their overall well-being. However, research on anti-Asian racism has thus far fallen short of properly incorporating data disaggregation ...

Discovery and biological characterization of a novel mesoionic insecticide fenmezoditiaz
Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) from the sea slug Aplysia californica was modified using site‐directed mutagenesis to create an insect‐like binding site enabling structure‐based compound design. Fenmezoditiaz is a systemic insecticide with a broad spectrum, lack of cross‐resistance and an additional tool for integrated pest management and ...

Quasi-Monte Carlo-Based Conditional Malliavin Method for Continuous-Time Asian Option Greeks [PDF]
Although many methods for computing the Greeks of discrete-time Asian options are proposed, few methods to calculate the Greeks of continuous-time Asian options are known. In this paper, we develop an integration by parts formula in the multi-dimensional Malliavin calculus, and apply it to obtain the Greeks formulae for continuous-time Asian options in

The need of an epidemio-surveillance network to prevent Huanglongbing arrival in the South of the Mediterranean Basin [PDF]
HuangLongBing (HLB) originated in the 1900's in Asia where it is transmitted by the psyllid Diaphorina citri. In South Africa another form of HLB, transmitted by Trioza erytreae was described in the 1960's.

Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...
