Phytosanitary irradiation as an effective treatment for Drosophila suzukii
Scientific ReportsDrosophila suzukii is a pest native to Southeast Asia that causes significant economic losses to soft fruit crops. Phytosanitary irradiation is a promising treatment for D. suzukii hosts; yet an internationally recognized irradiation protocol is lacking.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DNA strands are employed both as dynamic linkers and nanoscale templates for the integration of Ag2S nanoparticles on MoS2, which in turn imparted photothermal responsiveness; this feature permits the selective cargo (fluorophore, quantum dots or an enzyme) release from the MoS2 surface in response to local heat induced by light irradiation.
