The remarkable plethora of infestation-responsive Q-type C2H2 transcription factors in potato
BMC Research Notes, 2018 Objective Q-type C2H2 transcription factors (TF) play crucial roles in the plant response to stress, often leading to regulation of downstream genes required for tolerance to these challenges.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

On the possibility of death of new genes – evidence from the deletion of de novo microRNAs
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background New genes are constantly formed, sometimes from non-genic sequences, creating what is referred to as de novo genes. Since the total number of genes remains relatively steady, gene deaths likely balance out new births.

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...

Biocontrol Agents in Signaling Resistance
, 2002 The mechanisms by which biological control agents suppress disease comprise competition for nutrients, notably iron, production of antibiotics, and secretion of lytic enzymes, as well as inducing resistance in the plant. The former three mechanisms act primarily on the pathogen by decreasing its activity, growth, and/or survival and require the ...

Between Strategy and Survival? How Agri‐Food SMEs Navigate Voluntary Sustainability Disclosure
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In a context of increasing regulatory pressure and ambiguity around sustainability reporting, this study analyses small and medium enterprises' (SMEs) motivations and challenges in relation to the voluntary adoption of such practices. Using a sector‐based approach, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 26 agri‐business leaders from ...

TOXORHYNCHITES AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS
Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007 Toxorhynchites is an unusual and interesting genus of large, non-biting mosquitoes. In spite of their size, they are--like many species of mosquitoes--completely harmless to man. The larvae are predaceous on other mosquitoes and aquatic organisms that inhabit both natural and artificial containers.
