Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Trichoderma: Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Species with High Potential for Biocontrol and Biofertilizer Applications

Certain Trichoderma isolates provide biofertilizer, biocontrol, and other plant-beneficial activities while inhabiting the soil or internal plant tissue, and their use in agricultural systems can contribute to sustainable food production.

Whole Genome Assembly and Annotation of Two Invasive Sitona Species

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Weevils are a highly diversified taxon, comprising about 70,000 described species, including many of high economic importance. Here, we present whole genome assemblies and annotations of two Sitona species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae).

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

Plant genotype-dependent biocontrol of wheat diseases [PDF]

Sustainable crop production requires the reduction of chemical pesticides, and the use of beneficial microorganisms such as biological control agents (BCAs) is recommended as a sustainable alternative for disease management.

A Systematic Map to Identify Knowledge Gaps on a Vector of Citrus Greening Diseases: The African Citrus Triozid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio, 1918) (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

First Record of Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) Parasitizing White Mango Scale in Kenya: Its Potential Distribution and Prospects in Biocontrol

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The white mango scale, Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), is one of the most destructive pests of mango worldwide. Its current management in most of the invaded areas largely depends on the intensive use of chemical insecticides.

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...
