Defining the parameters of comet assay for reliably detecting DNA damage as a marker of X‐ray based irradiation in insects treated with non‐lethal doses for export fruit sanitation

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Houseflies, clover root weevils, and mangoes were used to demonstrate the comet assay's adaptability. Our findings indicate that the comet assay can reliably detect irradiation‐induced DNA damage in both insects and fruit. However, the assay parameters require careful adjustment to account for differences in insect tissue types and life stages ...

Economic Entomology at the Second International Congress of Entomology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Entomology, 1913
The speaker called attention to the fact that it is only a few years since workers in economic entomology were rather looked down upon by systematists; especially, was this feeling indicated during his visits to the great museums of Europe ten years or more ago.

Investigating Bacillus amyloliquefaciens VFS2 for Vicia faba‐fusarium wilt biocontrol and plant growth promotion under osmotic stress

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The osmoadapted B. amyloliquefaciens VFS2 showed strong antifungal activities against Vicia faba‐pathogenic fungi and produced significant amounts of cLPs isoforms, indole‐3‐acetic acid, and siderophores under osmotic stress. These properties were associated with a Vicia faba Fusarium‐wilt disease biocontrol under saline and water‐deficient conditions.

Species‐specific effects of post‐application relative humidity on glufosinate efficacy and absorption in Bassia scoparia and Chenopodium album

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Glufosinate efficacy and absorption are mediated by post‐application relative humidity duration in Bassia scoparia and Chenopodium album, but the effects are species‐specific. Abstract Background In the semi‐arid United States, where relative humidity (RH) in summer ranges from 25% to 35%, suboptimal glufosinate efficacy is a recurrent issue, but ...

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides as potential bioactive agents: synthesis and computational study

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides were synthesized and evaluated for phytotoxic activity. Some compounds showed greater inhibition than S‐metolachlor against Sorghum bicolor. Docking studies indicated interaction with mitogen‐activated protein kinase, suggesting it as a potential target.

Characterisation of aphid antixenosis in aphid‐resistant ancestor wheat, Triticum monococcum

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A blend of 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from Sitobion avenae‐infested Triticum monococcum accessions MDR045 and MDR049 was identified and shown to induce antixenosis towards alate S. avenae. Abstract BACKGROUND Due to the increasing presence of insecticide resistance across cereal aphid populations, new aphid management strategies ...
