Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Mitigate Drought‐Enhanced Herbivore Performance in Maize
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2080-2094, April 2026.ABSTRACT Drought events are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, posing major challenges to crop productivity. Beyond direct water stress, drought can indirectly affect plants by enhancing herbivore performance. While arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been proposed to alleviate drought stress and to enhance plant resistance to herbivory ...

Control of Beet Armyworm and Southern Armyworm with Biological Insecticides on Bell Pepperfall 1993 [PDF]
Arthropod Management Tests, 1995 Abstract Seedlings of “Jupiter” bell peppers were transplanted on 1 Oct, 12 inches apart in single rows on raised beds covered with whitefaced polyethylene mulch and sub-surface irrigated. Beds had been prepared by fumigation with chloropicrin methyl bromide 33/67% 220 lbs/acre and fertilized with a bottom mix of 800 lbs/acre of 5-16-8 ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 736-749, March 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Effect of geographic origin of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and sugar beet cultivar on nutritional indices of this pest [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2016 Nutritional indices of three geographic populations (Miandoab, Moghan and Kalposh) of the fifth instar of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on four sugar beet cultivars (Dorothea, Rozier, Persia and Perimer) were evaluated at 25 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 5

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

Increased RNAi Efficacy in Spodoptera exigua via the Formulation of dsRNA With Guanylated Polymers
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Lepidoptera comprise some of the most devastating herbivorous pest insects worldwide. One of the most promising novel pest control strategies is exploiting the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism to target essential genes for knockdown and incite toxic ...

Interactive Responses of Solanum Dulcamara to Drought and Insect Feeding are Herbivore Species-Specific [PDF]
, 2018 In nature, plants are frequently subjected to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses, resulting in a convergence of adaptive responses. We hypothesised that hormonal signalling regulating defences to different herbivores may interact with drought responses,
