How does leaf age affect performance? A comparative study of essential oils from young and mature Eucalyptus globulus leaves in crop protection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Leaf age influences metabolomic profiling but not bioactivity of Eucalyptus globulus essential oils. Leaf age affects volatile levels of young and adult E. globulus oils, but not their bioactivity. Young leaf essential oil had higher contents of α‐ and β‐pinene. AEEO had higher levels of 1,8‐cineole and trans‐pinocarveol.

Chitosan‐protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (LRP2) is required for lipid export in the midgut of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 (LRP2) is a multifunctional endocytic receptor expressed in epithelial cells. In mammals, it acts as an endocytic receptor that mediates the cellular uptake of cholesterol-containing apolipoproteins to ...

Optimal control and multitrophic physiologically‐based models: The binomial for successful decision support systems in insect pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Decision‐making in integrated pest management (IPM) corresponds to an optimisation problem where the plant–pest dynamics and the control actions are constraints and where the objective function accounts for the costs of the treatments and the total income at the harvest time.
