A rationally designed peptide targeting trypsin‐like enzymes impairs feeding and redox homeostasis in Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
GORE3 interacts with digestive proteases in Anticarsia gemmatalis, promoting digestive inhibition, oxidative stress, and midgut cell damage. These physiological disturbances diminish larval survival and feeding damage on soybean plants, emphasizing the potential of GORE3 as a bioinsecticidal peptide for pest control.

Chemical Budbreak Induction Methods to Increase Blackberry Yields under Inadequate Chilling Conditions

EDIS, 2021
Blackberry production has recently expanded to the Southeast. In Florida, inadequate winter chill limits blackberry production by causing poor and erratic budbreak. To compensate, we developed chemical budbreak induction methods based on the field trial

Cotton Farming Pesticides Affect Ileal Microbiota Activity and Expression of Virulome but Not Resistome or Metabolic Pathways in a Sedentary Wild Passerine

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increased use of agrochemicals to enhance crop production has had detrimental environmental effects including implication in the sharp decline of North American farmland‐breeding birds. Here, using a combination of deep shotgun metatranscriptomics and pesticide exposure data, we sought to assess whether exposure to cotton (Gossypium spp ...

Pamuk Bitkisi Defoliant Uygulamalarında Bazı Püskürtme Yöntemlerinin Etkinliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Yaprak dökücü ve kolza açıcı olarak kullanılan defoliant, makinalı pamuk hasadında önemli bir yere sahiptir, Eğer defoliant etkin bir şekide uygulanırsa pamuk bitkisinin yaprak dökümü oranı artar ve çıtırık kolza sayısı azaltılabilir.

İkinci ürün pamuk (Gossypium hirsutum L) tarımında defoliant uygulamalrının verim, lif ve tohum kalitesi üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması [PDF]

, 2008
Son yıllarda Ege bölgesinde arpa, buğday gibi ürünlerden sonra ikinci ürün olarak pamuk üretimi yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Buğday hasadından sonra Haziran ayının 15’ine kadar ekimi yapılan pamuklarda, hasat döneminde oluşan yağışlar kütlü veriminde ve ...

Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

Herbivore versus detritivore effect on decomposition through leaf conversion into faeces

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In terrestrial ecosystems, plant residues can reach the soil as senesced leaf litter or green leaves, and both types can be transformed by invertebrates into detritivore or herbivore faeces.

Forest defoliation scenarios

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2007
We consider the mathematical model originally created by Ludwig, Jones, and Holling to model the infestation of spruce forests in New Brunswick by the spruce budworm. With biologically plausible parameter values, the dimensionless version of the model contains small parameters derived from the time scales of the state variables and smaller parameters ...

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...
