Effect of Transgenic Cotton Expressing Bt Cry1Ac or Cry1Ab/Ac Toxins on Lacewing Larvae Mediated by Herbivorous Insect Pests

open access: yesPlants, 2022
A simple food chain (plant, insect pests, and predatory arthropods) in an agro-ecosystem was set up here as a model system to elucidate the potential effect of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton on non-target organisms.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua

open access: yesGenomics, 2023
The beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua is a polyphagous caterpillar that causes serious damage to many species of crops and vegetables. To gain insight into how this polyphagous insect differs from less harmful oligophagous species, we generated a chromosome-level assembly and compared it to closely related species with the same or different feeding ...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Cold hardiness process of beet armyworm larvae, Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2014
Cold hardiness is one of the most common adaptations of insects at low temperatures. To understand the cold hardiness strategy of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), six temperature treatments were tested on the last instar larvae.

Control of Beet Armyworm on Pepper, Spring 1996 [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 1998
Abstract Pepper seedlings were transplanted in Rockdale soil on 5 Oct, 1995. A RCB design was employed to provide 3 replicates each for 8 treatments comprising a plot size of 2 rows, 25 feet long. Insecticide applications were initiated on 15 Nov, 1995 and continued at approximately 7-day intervals.

Artificial exposure to herbivore‐induced volatile organic compounds reduces herbivory and modulates gene expression in potato plants

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings provide strong mechanistic evidence for VOCs mediating pest resistance and suggest that exposure to herbivore‐induced, plant‐derived VOCs can enhance pest resistance in potato crops. These results might offer novel information for developing ecologically sustainable plant volatile‐based strategies for boosting protection against pests in

Comparative demographic parameters of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lep.: Noctuidae) on four commercial sugar beet cultivars [PDF]

open access: yesنامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2015
The effects of four sugar beet cultivars (Anaconda, Rozier, Evelina and Flores) on the life table  parameters of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lep.: Noctuidae) were evaluated at 26 ± 1 °C, 60 ±    5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16: 8 h (L:

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not
