Stink Bugs and Leaffooted Bugs Are Important Fruit, Nut, Seed and Vegetable Pests
EDIS, 2005 Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and leaffooted bugs (Coreidae) are important direct pests of many seed, fruit, vegetable and nut crops. Recently they have become serious pests of cotton because of the reduction in pesticide use resulting from the eradication ...

Resource Availability Modulates Gene Expression Across Life Stages in a Migratory Butterfly
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Natural populations are in constant need of balancing resource allocation to compensate for seasonal environmental variation. In many insects, a well‐established trade‐off between migration and reproduction exists. While this trade‐off has been characterised phenotypically for decades, the underlying regulatory pathways are poorly understood ...

Selection of entomopathogenic fungi to control stink bugs and cotton boll weevil
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2023 Entomopathogenic fungi stand out in the biological control of several agriculturally important insects. Six isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae, Cordyceps javanica, Beauveria sp. and B.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

Reproductive Status of Boll Weevils During Season and Off‐Season of Cotton in the Cerrado of Brazil
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 113-122, February 2026.Cotton boll weevils were monitored continuously and counted weekly over two agricultural years in the Brazilian Cerrado. The survey resulted in a total of 94 519 adults captured in approximately similar percentages of females and males during both the growing and off‐seasons.

The cotton historical lines project—Part I: History and field evaluation
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Common garden experiments have provided great insights into crop adaptation across many systems. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) cultivars have changed in the 20th and 21st centuries, but breeders have not quantified the degree of these changes. We synthesized a panel of 164 non‐genetically modified genotypes, from the private and public sectors ...

Row Crops and the U.S. Agricultural Trade Deficit: Recent Trends and Policy Issues
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 1759-1773, December 2025.ABSTRACT Row crops such as soybeans, corn, wheat, and cotton are the backbone of the U.S. farm sector, accounting for around $60 billion of exports in 2023. While U.S. row crop exports remain robust, growing concerns over the rising U.S. agricultural trade deficit underscore the need to appraise the ongoing market and policy dynamics affecting the ...

Factors affecting U.S. sorghum and cotton exports: A dynamic ARDL simulation approach
Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 285-303, September 2025.Abstract The U.S. faces increasing competition from Argentina and Brazil for sorghum and cotton exports. Using a dynamic Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model, this study shows that U.S. sorghum and cotton exports are positively affected by area harvested, yield, and export price.

Recent Advances in Cotton Transformation and Genome Editing Techniques: The Prospects and Challenges
Modern Agriculture, Volume 3, Issue 1, June 2025.Application of transformed cotton plants. Cotton transformation yields desirable traits, including: (1) strengthening insect and pest resistance, (2) enhancing the resistance to abiotic stress such as drought, heat, cold and salinity, (3) improving herbicide tolerance, (4) increasing the cotton lint and seed yield, (5) boosting nutrient uptake ...
