MON 95379 Bt maize as a new tool to manage sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) in South America. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci, 2022 The sugarcane borer (SCB), Diatraea saccharalis, is a key pest of maize in South America. Genetically modified maize, expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins, has revolutionized the management of this insect. The MON 95379 maize will bring value to maize growers in South America by effectively managing SCB even in locations where resistance to ...

An investigation into the interaction between water deficit and injury of sugarcane borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in the gas exchange parameters and spectral reflectance of sugarcane. [PDF]
J Sci Food AgricAbstract BACKGROUND Plants are subject to a variety of stressors that will eventually limit their development and yield. However, analysis of the combination of abiotic and biotic stresses is usually disregarded. The combination of stresses can have synergistic or antagonistic effects and, therefore, they require greater clarification for assertive ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) represents the most valuable row crop in Louisiana. High levels of biomass production and extensive tillage have degraded portions of the state's alluvial soils used to grow sugarcane. In addition to sucrose, processing the crop generates excess bagasse each year, which can represent a disposal problem for sugar ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 449-463, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

Weathering the hunt: The role of barometric pressure in predator insects' foraging behaviour
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 Despite the essential role of barometric pressure, its influence on insects remains poorly understood, particularly in predator insects. Our study showed that three predator species from distinct orders, with varying morphological, physiological, ecological and biological characteristics, modify their foraging behaviour in response to barometric ...

No life‐history cost of tebufenozide resistance in the smaller tea tortrix moth
Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 7, Page 2581-2590, July 2023., 2023 Three experimental approaches (resistance monitoring, strain crossing, and food limitation) showed that tebufenozide resistance comes with few life‐history costs in the smaller tea tortrix. Abstract BACKGROUND Tebufenozide is widely used to control populations of the smaller tea tortrix, Adoxophyes honmai. However, A. honmai has evolved resistance such

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 The complete mitochondrial genomes of two Prophantis species in the tribe Trichaeini were provided for the first time. Phylogenetic trees of Crambidae were reconstructed based on mitogenomic data using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analysis methods.

Genes and genetic mechanisms contributing to fall armyworm resistance in maize
The Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crop of major economic and food security importance globally. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, can devastate entire maize crops, especially in countries or markets that do not allow the use of transgenic crops.

Setting of import tolerances for fipronil in potatoes, sugar canes and commodities of animal origin
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Abstract In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant BASF SE submitted a request to the competent national authority in Austria to set an import tolerance for the active substance fipronil in potatoes, maize, rice, sugar canes and to modify the existing EU MRLs (maximum residue levels) for fipronil in commodities of ...

Bt maize can provide non‐chemical pest control and enhance food safety in China
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 391-404, February 2023., 2023 Summary China is the world's second‐largest maize producer and consumer. In recent years, the invasive fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) has adversely affected maize productivity and compromised food security. To mitigate pest‐inflicted food shortages, China's Government issued biosafety certificates for two genetically modified (GM) Bt ...
