Auxin‐Producing Pseudomonas Recruited by Root Flavonoids Increases Rice Rhizosheath Formation through the Bacterial Histidine Kinase Under Soil Drying

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drought is a major cause of crop losses across agricultural regions. Rhizosheath formation enhances plant resistance to drought. Polyploids may tolerate stress more effectively through increased interactions with bacteria. However, the contributions of tetraploid rice associated microbiota to rhizosheath formation under soil drying remain unclear ...

Stability Analysis and Control Optimization of a Prey-Predator Model with Linear Feedback Control

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2018
The application of pest management involves two thresholds when the chemical control and biological control are adopted, respectively. Our purpose is to provide an appropriate balance between the chemical control and biological control.

High-throughput profiling of diapause regulated genes from Trichogramma dendrolimi (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background The parasitoid wasp, Trichogramma dendrolimi, can enter diapause at the prepupal stage. Thus, diapause is an efficient preservation method during the mass production of T. dendrolimi.

Novel Bivalent mRNA‐LNP Vaccine for Highly Effective Protection against Pneumonic Plague

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study investigates mRNA‐lipid nanoparticle vaccines targeting Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. Combined F1+LcrV mRNA vaccination elicited robust immune responses and protected mice against virulent wild‐type and atypical strains.

TCMD: A High‐Throughput and Rapid Method for Screening Antimicrobial Ingredients from Renewable Bio‐Based Resources

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.

The Promise of a Multi-Disciplinary, Mixed-Methods Approach to Inform Insect Pest Management: Evidence From Wyoming Alfalfa

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
Pest management strategies involve a complex set of considerations, circumstances, and decision-making. Existing research suggests that farmers are reflexive and reflective in their management choices yet continue to employ curative rather than ...

Integrating biological control and host plant resistance [PDF]

, 2015
For farmers in low external input agricultural systems in developing countries, host plant resistance (HPR) and biological control (BC) are potentially effectivemethods of insect pest control.

Insect Colonization and Mass Production. Edited by Carroll N. Smith. New York and London: Academic Press, 1966. xxii, 618pp. $27.00. [PDF]

, 2017
Excerpt: The mass production of insects appears to have started with the requirements of the rod-and-line fisherman for bait. For many years, using crude but effective methods, an individual could earn a living rearing millions of blowflies a week to ...
