Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Predator egg‐induced non‐consumptive effects suppress spider mite survival and reproductive performance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing predation intensity of predatory mite significantly reduced spider mite fitness in terms of shorter mother longevity, lower mother fecundity, longer offspring development, lower offspring survival, and lower population growth. Abstract BACKGROUND Predators suppress pest populations not only through direct consumption but also via non ...
