Caffeic Acid and Biopesticides Interactions for the Control of Storage Beetles

open access: yesApplied Biosciences, 2023
Infestations of stored-product pests cause significant losses of agricultural produce every year. Despite various environmental and health risks, chemical insecticides are now a ready-to-use solution for pest control.

Occurrence and Prevalence of Insect Pathogens in Populations of the Codling Moth, Cydia pomonella L.: A Long-Term Diagnostic Survey

open access: yesInsects, 2013
About 20,550 larvae, pupae and adults of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., were diagnosed for pathogens during long-term investigations (1955–2012) at the Institute for Biological Control in Darmstadt, Germany.

A Combination of Real-Time PCR and High-Resolution Melting Analysis to Detect and Identify CpGV Genotypes Involved in Type I Resistance

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Cydia pomonella granulovirus, in particular CpGV-M isolate, is used as a biological control against the codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella. As a result of intensive control over the years, codling moth populations have developed resistance against this ...

Resource quality determines the evolution of resistance and its genetic basis

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 21, Page 4128-4142, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Parasites impose strong selection on their hosts, but the level of any evolved resistance may be constrained by the availability of resources. However, studies identifying the genomic basis of such resource‐mediated selection are rare, particularly in nonmodel organisms.

Monitoring and possibilities of controlling nematodes and fruit damaging pests of Rosa spp. with microbial-derived products

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection Research, 2019
Interest in growing roses in Poland is related to the production of cut flowers as ornamentals and of petals and hips for cosmetics or food products. However, recently there has been an increasing number of reports of pest damage on rose plantations ...

Comparison of the potential activities of viral and bacterial chitinases

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021
Background Chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is a major structural component of the insect exoskeleton and the peritrophic membrane (PM). Chitinases are able to effectively break down glycosidic bonds of chitin polymer thus can be used

Cydia pomonella granulovirus genotypes overcome virus resistance in the codling moth and improve virus efficiency by selection against resistant hosts. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Environ Microbiol, 2009
Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) has been used for 15 years as a bioinsecticide in codling moth (Cydia pomonella) control. In 2004, some insect populations with low susceptibility to the virus were detected for the first time in southeast France. RGV,

Identification and characterization of the Cydia pomonella granulovirus cathepsin and chitinase genes.

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1998
A 3.2 kb BamHI-EcoRI fragment of the Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) genome was subcloned and characterized. Sequence analysis revealed two complete and one partial open reading frames (ORFs). ORF7L is predicted to encode a 66.7 kDa protein (594 amino acid residues) that is 57% identical (amino acid sequence) to the chiA gene (ORF126) of Autographa

Is the efficacy of biological control against plant diseases likely to be more durable than that of chemical pesticides?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
The durability of a control method for plant protection is defined as the persistence of its efficacy in space and time. It depends on (i) the selection pressure exerted by it on populations of plant pathogens and (ii) on the capacity of these pathogens ...

Controlled beams of shock-frozen, isolated, biological and artificial nanoparticles

open access: yesStructural Dynamics, 2020
X-ray free-electron lasers promise diffractive imaging of single molecules and nanoparticles with atomic spatial resolution. This relies on the averaging of millions of diffraction patterns of identical particles, which should ideally be isolated in the ...
