The diamondback moth is the most destructive insect pest of brassica crops throughout the world. Reliance on chemicals as a control measure for the diamondback moth has resulted in the development of resistance to many insecticides.

Dual role of benzoxazinoids in plant response to combined drought stress and aphid feeding
Benzoxazinoids enhance wheat's defence against aphids and drought stress by triggering callose accumulation, and MYB transcription factors regulate wheat stress response. Abstract Plants produce specialized metabolites like benzoxazinoids (BXDs) to survive adverse environmental conditions and deter herbivory, while insects have evolved mechanisms to ...

Differential Effects of Food Plants on the Development, Egg Production and Feeding Behaviour of the Diamondback Moth (Plutella xylostella L.) [PDF]
Differential effects of food plants on developmental time of diamondback moth (DBM) (Plutella xylostella L.) laroae and pupae, larval feeding behaviour and egg production by the adult were studied.

A Brief History of Canola Genetic Gains: From Classical Breeding to Genome Editing
ABSTRACT Canola exemplifies the transformation of a crop from industrial use to a globally significant edible oilseed through sustained genetic and biotechnological innovation. Historically, rapeseed was characterized by high erucic acid and glucosinolate contents, restricting its use primarily to industrial applications.

Toxicity of soursop extracts to diamondback moth
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three solvent extractors (water, ethanol and hexane) of grounded seeds of soursop, Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae), in the mortality, biology and oviposition of Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae).

Genomic Evolution and Patterns of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Coccomorpha Species
This study reveals the genomic adaptations of Coccoidea pests through comparative analysis of five chromosome‐level genomes. Key findings include whole‐genome duplication events, expansion of antioxidant‐related gene families, horizontal gene transfer for nutrient metabolism, and species‐specific detoxification mechanisms linked to pesticide resistance.

Report of the parasitoid wasp, Diadegma anurum (Hym.: Ichneumonidae), from Iran [PDF]
This paper reports the occurrence of the hymenoterous parasitoid of the diamondback moth larvae in Iran. One species of Ichneumonidae, Diadegma anurum (Thomson), was collected from larvae of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lep.: Plutellidae).
