WolbachiaOccurrence in Planthopper (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) Vectors of Cereal Viruses in Argentina [PDF]
Maize (Zea mays L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are the most important cereal crops for the Argentinean economy and are affected by several diseases. Different planthopper species transmit causal agents of some of those diseases, including Mal de Río Cuarto virus, barley yellow striate mosaic virus, and the recently proposed maize yellow striate ...

Effects of elevated CO2 on feeding responses of biological control agents of Pontederia crassipes
Studies have shown that elevated CO2 will affect insect feeding guilds differently. Water hyacinth plants, Pontederia crassipes (Pontederiaceae), were grown under two CO2 concentrations (400 and 800 p.p.m.), with and without two biocontrol agents representing different feeding guilds, the leaf‐chewing Cornops aquaticum (Orthoptera: Acrididae) and the ...

The cry1‐knockout strain (Cry1‐KO) of Plutella xylostella was developed by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. No daily temporal oscillation of cry1 was observed in Geneva 88 (G88) and Cry1‐KO, and cry1 mean daily transcription of Cry1‐KO was lower than that of G88.

Pest risk assessment of Elasmopalpus lignosellus for the European Union
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a quantitative pest risk assessment of Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the lesser cornstalk borer, for the EU. The assessment considered entry, establishment, spread and impact.
