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.

Effects of insecticides and defoliants applied alone and in combination for control of overwintering boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis; Coleoptera: Curculionidae)—laboratory and field studies [PDF]
, 2004 In laboratory, greenhouse and field tests, we determined the effects of combining full rates of the defoliants tribufos and thidiazuron and the herbicide thifensulfuron-methyl with half rates of the insecticides lambda-cyhalothrin or azinphos-methyl, and

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 ...
