An annotated list of planthoppers with alternate hosts from Kallar tract of Punjab, Pakistan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Diversity of planthoppers and their host plants were studied in the "Kallar" tract of the Punjab, Pakistan (an important growing area of the world for producing Basmati rice). Planthoppers are considered the most important pests of rice.

Effects of elevated CO2 on feeding responses of biological control agents of Pontederia crassipes

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 12, Page 998-1008, December 2023., 2023
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 ...

Knockout of cryptochrome 1 disturbs the locomotor circadian rhythm and development of Plutella xylostella

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1035-1045, August 2023., 2023
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

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
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.

Communal rearing induces high predatory capacity in a solitary wolf spider and its potential in pest control

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Pardosa pseudoannulata is a solitary wolf spider and it is a major predator of pests such as Nilaparvata lugens in rice fields. The results showed that the survival rates of the communal‐reared and individual‐reared spiders were similar, but communal‐reared spiders were significantly more voracious.

Stemborer‐induced rice plant volatiles boost direct and indirect resistance in neighboring plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 237, Issue 6, Page 2375-2387, March 2023., 2023
Summary Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are known to be perceived by neighboring plants, resulting in induction or priming of chemical defenses. There is little information on the defense responses that are triggered by these plant–plant interactions, and the phenomenon has rarely been studied in rice. Using chemical and molecular analyses in

Unintended changes in transgenic maize cause no nontarget effects

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 392-402, July 2022., 2022
Genetic engineering is used to introduce new genes into plants to obtain crops with novel traits. However, the unintended effects of genetically engineered (GE) crops on nontarget organisms—such as beneficial insects—are a topic of much concern.

Abundance and species richness of leafhoppers and planthoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae and Delphacidae) in Brazilian maize crops. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Insects in the Cicadellidae and Delphacidae families, common in grasses, are an important group of vectors of viruses and mollicutes, which cause diseases in several plant species. The goal of this study was to evaluate the abundance and species richness
