Impacts of a Sweet Orange Essential Oil–Based Biopesticide on Exorista larvarum, a Parasitoid Tachinid Fly With a Dual Role

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Lethal (mortality) and sublethal (fecundity, fertility) effects of the biopesticide Prev‐Am Plus (containing ~6% sweet orange essential oil) were assessed on the tachinid fly Exorista larvarum. Mated females were exposed via contact and oral routes across five concentrations (0.25%–20%) using protocols adapted from Apis mellifera.

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Characterization of Grape Cane Stilbenoids and Their Photo‐Degradation Products by HPLC‐DAD Coupled With Trapped Ion Mobility Spectrometry and High‐Resolution Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Bioactive (E)‐stilbenoids in vine extracts are prone to light‐induced transformation into the respective (Z)‐isomers and further degradation products, often resulting in a loss of bioactivity. We sought to study stilbenoid degradation beyond that of the well‐researched resveratrol due to the high diversity of stilbenoids in nature ...

Cellular uptake of extracellular dsRNA is tissue-dependent in insects

BMC Biology
Background RNA interference (RNAi), a naturally occurring gene silencing mechanism found in almost all eukaryotic organisms, has proven to be an adaptable and powerful tool in therapeutics, bioengineering, and agriculture. Differential responses to RNAi,

Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties of Piper spp. Volatile Oils That Inhibit Pathogenic Microorganisms

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 935-942, July 2026.
The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.
