Preliminary survey of indigenous parasites associated with Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) in Jeju, Korea

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
In order to identify the parasitoids of Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton [commonly known as the citrus leafminer (CLM)], we collected CLM larvae and pupae in the Seogwipo area of Jeju-do, identified parasitoid species, and determined parasitism rates.

Genome‐Wide Association Study Reveals Insect Genetics and Microbial Symbiont Effects on Susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the Citrus Greening Pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic and microbial factors influencing the susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the citrus greening pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), employing a microbiome Genome Wide Association Study. The research identifies a key gene encoding an MFS‐type transporter contributing to CLas infectivity and abundance in

Beneficial Insects: Mantids

open access: yes, 2007

Beneficial Insect Borders Provide Northern Bobwhite Brood Habitat

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Strips of fallow vegetation along cropland borders are an effective strategy for providing brood habitat for declining populations of upland game birds (Order: Galliformes), including northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), but fallow borders lack nectar-producing vegetation needed to sustain many beneficial insect populations (e.g., crop pest ...

Precise Construction of an Antimicrobial Peptide Targeting Bacterial Cell Membranes Derived From Natural Peptides

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An AMP (P 3‐3R‐8I) based on natural peptides, which can target bacterial cell membranes, was precisely constructed via amino acid mutation. P 3‐3R‐8I exhibits antibacterial capability which could be attributed to the ability of P 3‐3R‐8I to quickly penetrate bacterial cell membranes and then to bind to bacterial DNA.
