Transcriptome analysis of Gossypium hirsutum cultivar Zhongzhimian No.2 uncovers the gene regulatory networks involved in defense against Verticillium dahliae

BMC Plant Biology
Background Cotton is globally important crop. Verticillium wilt (VW), caused by Verticillium dahliae, is the most destructive disease in cotton, reducing yield and fiber quality by over 50% of cotton acreage.

Chlorantraniliprole: bioactivation in coffee seedlings and control of resistant Leucoptera coffeella populations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Chlorantraniliprole enhanced growth and biomass in coffee seedlings infested by susceptible Leucoptera coffeella, while resistant populations limited its insecticidal performance. These findings emphasize both the bioactivator potential of chlorantraniliprole and the challenges of managing resistance in coffee leaf miner control.

Integrating bioassays and transcriptomics to detect neonicotinoid resistance in Australian Bemisia tabaci MEAM1

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 strain GR15‐1R shows partial resistance to neonicotinoids (bottom), which correlates with an increased expression of the P450 gene CYP6CM1 compared to the insecticide‐susceptible strain SU07‐1 (top). Abstract BACKGROUND Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 is a highly invasive and polyphagous pest species of agricultural and horticultural ...

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

BT COTTON REFUGE POLICY [PDF]

Since cotton producers do not own legal rights to kill insect populations that are susceptible to insecticides, individual producers may have no incentive to account for future, insecticide-resistance productivity losses arising from their pest ...

Pesticide use in integrated pest and pollinator management framework to protect pollinator health

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1691-1696, April 2025.
Integrated pest management (IPM) emphasizes non‐chemical methods, with pesticides as a last resort, while integrated pest and pollinator management (IPPM) integrates pollinator health into pest control strategies. Abstract Agricultural pesticides have historically been a critical tool in controlling pests and diseases, preventing widespread suffering ...
