Hijacking the Mustard-Oil Bomb: How a Glucosinolate-Sequestering Flea Beetle Copes With Plant Myrosinases. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2021
Myrosinase enzymes play a key role in the chemical defense of plants of the order Brassicales. Upon herbivory, myrosinases hydrolyze the β-S-linked glucose moiety of glucosinolates, the characteristic secondary metabolites of brassicaceous plants, which ...

Effective target genes for RNA interference-based management of the cabbage stem flea beetle. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
The cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB, Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a key pest of oilseed rape. The ban on neonicotinoids in the European Union due to environmental concerns and the emergence of pyrethroid-resistant populations have made the control of CSFB

Glucosinolate Abundance and Composition in Brassicaceae Influence Sequestration in a Specialist Flea Beetle. [PDF]

J Chem Ecol, 2020
The horseradish flea beetle Phyllotreta armoraciae exclusively feeds on Brassicaceae, which contain glucosinolates as characteristic defense compounds. Although glucosinolates are usually degraded by plant enzymes (myrosinases) to toxic isothiocyanates ...

Flea Beetle Control in Canola, 1988 [PDF]

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1990
Abstract A cooperative study was arranged with Sigco Research, Inc. of Breckenridge, MN. The trial was planted at Cando, ND, on 10 May using a cone type 6 row planter. Plots were 6-15 inch rows 20 ft in length arranged in a randomized complete block design replicated 4 times.

Flea Beetle Control in Canola, 1987 [PDF]

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1988
Abstract Plots were established in the untreated corner of an 80-acre commercial field 5 mi west of Hallo.-k Minn. The plot area did not include the headland and was located about 100 ft from the field edge. The soil was a clay type, quite short of moisture a planting (1 May) but very uniform for such a large trial. Individual plots were
