Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Silicon‐mediated resistance in wheat reaches a defensive plateau; accumulating silicon beyond 2mM provides no additional benefit for suppressing insect herbivore relative growth rates. Silicon supplementation significantly increases wheat biomass and effectively ameliorates plant mass losses caused by Helicoverpa armigera herbivory. Lower mandible wear

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

Response of Nectaried and Nectariless Pima Cotton to Pink Bollworm
, 1992 Four Pima cotton entries were grown in large plots at MAC, not treated with insecticide, to determine their response to attack of pink bollworm. P62, an early -maturing germplasm line, sustained significantly less seed damage caused by pink bollworm than

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper brings a feminist temporal perspective to understandings of agrarian‐climate crises in monsoon‐dependent regions of India, examining how time operates as a site of material struggle and social differentiation. Drawing on ethnographic research in Vidarbha, it explores how farmers synchronise diverse temporalities to navigate ...

Bollworm control with pheromones
, 2014 Work at the Central Cotton Research Institute in Pakistan has shown that using sex pheromones to disrupt cotton bollworm mating may offer a non-toxic alternative to chemical control. Three bollworm species, Pectinophora gossypiella, Earias vittella..

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is a major global legume crop that provides nutrition and income for some of the world's poorest people. Global pigeonpea yields are constrained due to damage from flower‐ and pod‐feeding lepidopteran pests, particularly Helicoverpa armigera.

Alternative splicing and highly variable cadherin transcripts associated with field-evolved resistance of pink bollworm to bt cotton in India. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Evolution of resistance by insect pests can reduce the benefits of insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that are used extensively in sprays and transgenic crops.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8382-8391, September 2026.Queensland fruit fly pupae tolerate hypoxia up to 2 days without compromising quality. Prolonged hypoxia, especially at 25 °C, reduces emergence and flight ability. Storage at 18 °C is recommended. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique is used to eradicate outbreaks of Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in fruit‐fly ...

Transformation and functional verification of Cry5Aa in cotton
Scientific Reports, 2021 Most of the cotton bollworm-resistant genes applied in cotton are more than 20 years and they all belong to Cry1Ab/c family, but the insect-resistant effects of Cry5Aa on cotton were rarely reported. The possible risk of resistance is increasing.
