Female-induced increase of host-plant volatiles enhance specific attraction of aphid male Dysaphis plantaginea (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the sex pheromone [PDF]
, 2009 All aphid species studied so far share the same sex pheromone components, nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Variation by different enantiomers and blends of the two components released by different aphid species are limited and can only partially explain ...

Aflatoxin Accumulation in a Maize Diallel Cross
Agriculture, 2015 Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, occur naturally in maize. Contamination of maize grain with aflatoxin is a major food and feed safety problem and greatly reduces the value of the grain.

Host plant use by competing acacia-ants : mutualists monopolize while parasites share hosts [PDF]
, 2012 Protective ant-plant mutualisms that are exploited by non-defending parasitic ants represent prominent model systems for ecology and evolutionary biology.

At the frontier; RXLR effectors crossing the Phytophthora -host interface [PDF]
, 2011 Plants are constantly beset by pathogenic organisms. To successfully infect their hosts, plant pathogens secrete effector proteins, many of which are translocated to the inside of the host cell where they manipulate normal physiological processes and ...

Molecular interaction between plants and Trichoderma species against soil-borne plant pathogens
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Trichoderma spp. (Hypocreales) are used worldwide as a lucrative biocontrol agent. The interactions of Trichoderma spp. with host plants and pathogens at a molecular level are important in understanding the various mechanisms adopted by the fungus to ...

Effect of Biodiversity Changes in Disease Risk: Exploring Disease Emergence in a Plant-Virus System [PDF]
, 2012 The effect of biodiversity on the ability of parasites to infect their host and cause disease (i.e. disease risk) is a major question in pathology, which is central to understand the emergence of infectious diseases, and to develop strategies for their ...
