IMPACT OF INTERCROPPING OF CITRONELLA GRASS (Cymbopogon schoenanthus cyperles) AND LEMON GRASS (Cymbopogon citratus stapf) OF THE INFESTATION LEVEL OF INSECT PESTS AND ACARI IN COWPEA CROP AT KAFR EL-SHEIKH REGION . [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2012 In 2010 and 2011 cowpea seasons, experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of intercropping between cowpea and each of Citronella grass and lemon grass on the populations of insect pests attacking cowpea .

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Different BYDV‐PAV isolates exert contrasting effects on aphid fitness, including reproduction and winged production. Different BYDV‐PAV isolates have contrasting effects on aphid dispersal patterns. Aphid feeding behaviour is modulated by the presence of endosymbionts and plant viruses.

How Institutions Shape the Effects of Agricultural Cooperatives on Their Members
Kyklos, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agricultural cooperatives represent a promising way of improving the quality of life of half a billion smallholders, who account for the vast majority of the world's food production. Yet, little is known about the institutional factors that explain the potential benefits of being a member of a cooperative.

Proteins synthesized in tobacco mosaic virus infected protoplasts [PDF]
, 1979 The study described here concerns the proteins, synthesized as a result of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) multiplication in tobacco protoplasts and in cowpea protoplasts. The identification of proteins involved in the TMV infection, for instance in the virus

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

Morpho -genetic variability in F 2 progeny cowpea genotypes tolerant to bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus) [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2019 Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. is a major threat to cowpea production reducing the quality, quantity and market value of cowpea grains. A cheap and easy identification method would be a valuable tool in identifying and breeding resistant genotypes in the ...
