The complete mitochondrial genome sequence ofDiaphorina citri(Hemiptera: Psyllidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016
The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) from Guangzhou, China, is presented. The circular mitogenome is 14,996 bp in length with an A + T content of 74.5%, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), two rRNA genes and an AT-rich control ...

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 48-55, February 2026.
Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...

Thermosensory TRPV Heterotetramers Drive Seasonal Polyphenism: Molecular Basis of CcIav/CcNan‐PKCα‐AKH/AKHR Signaling in Pear Psyllid Morph Transition

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

Bioassays of a Cordyceps sp. Isolate as a Candidate Mycoinsecticide Against Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 Adults

Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The whitefly Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a major agricultural pest that infests a wide range of crops and transmits several plant viruses, leading to significant yield losses worldwide. The intensive use of chemical insecticides for its control has contributed to the development of resistance, highlighting the ...

Evidence of behavior-based utilization by the Asian citrus psyllid of a combination of UV and green or yellow wavelengths. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, vectors huanglongbing (HLB), the most serious disease affecting citrus globally. D. citri and HLB have spread to the major citrus growing regions of North America causing billions of dollars of damage in ...

Repellent Activity of Botanical Oils against Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae)

Insects, 2016
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is the insect vector of the pathogen causing huanglongbing. We selected three botanical oils to evaluate behavioral activity against D. citri.

Manual curation and phylogenetic analysis of chitinase family genes in the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri

GigaByte, 2022
Chitinases are enzymes that digest the polysaccharide polymer chitin. During insect development, breakdown of chitin is an essential step in molting of the exoskeleton.

One landscape does not fit all: Diverse arthropod responses to land use

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Early studies and theory suggested that complex landscapes harboring remnants of natural land should support natural enemy populations and reduce pest buildup in adjacent crops, whereas landscapes interspersed with urban land often provide alternate host plants of crop pests, facilitating pest spillover and amplifying pest pressure.

Sulfoxaflor Impairs Bumblebee Memory Across Moderate and Extreme Temperatures

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Bumblebees rely on their memory to navigate a complicated landscape and floral marketplace. When foraging, bees are often exposed to a multitude of anthropogenic stressors, but how these stressors influence bee cognition, both individually and in combination, remains poorly understood.
