Anholocyclic overwintering of Myzus persicae: Host plant selection as a driver for aphid performance and survival

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is the main virus vector in sugar beet. We examine its performance on potential winter hosts as well as the host selection and overwintering success of anholicyclic aphids in order to improve forecasting models for virus outbreaks through targeted monitoring of suitable winter hosts. Abstract Virus yellows (VY) is

Insights from controlled, comparative experiments highlight the limitations of using BSMV and FoMV for virus‐enabled reverse genetics in rice

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Virus‐enabled reverse genetics (VERG) enables transient gene expression modulation in plants but its efficacy varies across species. We evaluated the efficacy of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) and foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and virus‐mediated overexpression (VOX) in rice (Oryza sativa).

Temporal associations between ambrosia beetles and ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) artificially inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can

Sinking peatlands: Optimal control of subsidence

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Land subsidence threatens the living conditions of about 1.2 billion people worldwide in deltaic regions characterized by soft top soil. Economic activity in these areas requires lowering groundwater levels to keep the land sufficiently dry, which leaves future generations worse off by accelerating subsidence and increasing future costs.

The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

open access: yesAntipode, EarlyView.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...
