Evaluation of the susceptibility of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, to a selection of novel biorational insecticides using an artificial diet [PDF]
, 2009 An improved technique was developed to assay the toxicity of insecticides against aphids using an artificial diet. The susceptibility of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) was determined for a selection of novel ...

Proteomic investigation of aphid honeydew reveals an unexpected diversity of proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aphids feed on the phloem sap of plants, and are the most common honeydew-producing insects. While aphid honeydew is primarily considered to comprise sugars and amino acids, its protein diversity has yet to be documented.

Hymenopteran parasitoids synthesize ‘honeydew‐specific’ oligosaccharides [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2006 Summary Many arthropods depend on carbohydrate‐rich food sources such as nectar or honeydew. Nevertheless, we often know little about the extent to which various sugar sources contribute to the diet of arthropods. One way to study food use in the field is to analyse guts of collected insects for source‐specific compounds.

HortScience, 1987 Abstract Greenflesh Honeydew (GFHD) musk-melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an erratic performer in the varied environments of Arizona, California (Imperial Valley and San Joaquin Valley), and Texas. The vines are susceptible to powdery mildew caused by Sphaero-theca fuliginea (Schlecht. ex.

Moth caterpillar solicits for homopteran honeydew [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 A life-history in which an organism depends on ants is called myrmecophily. Among Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), many species of lycaenid butterflies are known to show myrmecophily at the larval stage. Descriptions of myrmecophily among moth species, however, are very few and fragmentary.

Plant‐derived differences in the composition of aphid honeydew and their effects on colonies of aphid‐tending ants [PDF]
, 2014 In plant–ant–hemipteran interactions, ants visit plants to consume the honeydew produced by phloem‐feeding hemipterans. If genetically based differences in plant phloem chemistry change the chemical composition of hemipteran honeydew, then the plant's ...

Production of enzymatic hydrolysed spray-dried honeydew melon (Cucumis melo L.) powder
Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2022 Honeydew melon has grown in popularity because of its nice odour and sweet flavours. This advocated using enzyme to hydrolyse the honeydew melon and then spray drying it into powder.

A mutation in amino acid permease AAP6 reduces the amino acid content of the Arabidopsis sieve elements but leaves aphid herbivores unaffected [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the amino acid permease gene AAP6 in regulating phloem amino acid composition and then to determine the effects of this altered diet on aphid performance.
