The first RNAi‐based biopesticide approved in the United States: regulatory implications for the European Union – the case of Ledprona (Calantha™)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The approval of the RNA interference‐based biopesticide Ledprona (Calantha™) in the USA marks a milestone for RNA‐based crop protection. We discuss the regulatory implications for the European Union, highlighting opportunities, challenges, and the need for adapted risk assessment frameworks for RNA‐based plant protection products.

Size, age and composition: characteristics of plant taxa as diversity predictors of gall-midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011
Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the diversity of gall-midge insects (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), some of them taking into account plant diversity.

Distribution and Success of Galling Insects on Upland Willow (Salix Humilis) in Itasca State Park, Minnesota [PDF]

, 1997
A comparison was made of the distribution of six galling insects on varying-sized shoots and different ages of their host plant, Salix humilis. Survivorship of the most numerous galler, Iteyomia salicifolia, was used to determine if host use patterns ...

A formulation‐driven plant‐derived nanoemulsion for root‐knot nematode control in tomato: efficacy across pot and greenhouse conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanoemulsion for root‐knot nematode control in tomato: formulation concept, proposed mode of action, and efficacy under pot and greenhouse conditions. Abstract Objective Nanoemulsion‐based delivery systems offer a promising approach to improve the stability and biological performance of plant‐derived nematicides.

30 years of research on insect galls in Brazil: a scientometric review

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2018
The first systematic studies on insect galls in Brazil date to the early 20th century, after which research on insect galls remained dormant in the country, with interest not reviving until the 1980s.

Host‐induced silencing of the Minc09294 effector gene impairs Meloidogyne incognita and M. Enterolobii infection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host‐induced gene silencing of the effector candidate Minc09294 significantly impairs Meloidogyne incognita parasitism, markedly reducing gall formation, reproduction, and the development of specialized giant cells, with partial cross‐species effects on M.

Patterns of attack by herbivores on the tropical shrub Bauhinia brevipes (Leguminosae): Vigour or chance?

European Journal of Entomology, 2001
The plant vigour hypothesis (PVH) predicts that females of galling insects preferentially oviposit on the most vigorous plants or plant modules, where their offspring's performance is highest.

Changes in clonal poplar leaf chemistry caused by stem galls alter herbivory and leaf litter decomposition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Gall-inducing insects are highly specialized herbivores that modify the phenotype of their host plants. Beyond the direct manipulation of plant morphology and physiology in the immediate environment of the gall, there is also evidence of plant-mediated ...

Gall insects and indirect plant defenses [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2008
Many plants can defend themselves against insect herbivory by attracting natural enemies that kill feeding herbivores and limit the damage they inflict. Such "indirect defenses" can be induced by insects feeding on different plant tissues and using a variety of feeding styles.
