HaCRT1 of Heterodera avenae Is Required for the Pathogenicity of the Cereal Cyst Nematode

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Cereal cyst nematodes are sedentary biotrophic endoparasites that secrete effector proteins into plant tissues to transit normal cells into specialized feeding sites and suppress plant defenses.

Interference of ATP‐Binding Cassette Transporter by Functional Nano‐Delivery System for High Efficiency Management of Insecticide‐Resistant Nilaparvata lugens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A ZIF‐90 nanocarrier delivers dinotefuran and suppresses NlABCG3 and NlABCH1 in resistant Nilaparvata lugens. This system combines pH/ATP‐triggered release with enhanced foliar retention, improving efficacy while sparing honeybees and promoting rice growth, offering a promising resistance‐breaking strategy.

Insect herbivore communities colonising the flower-heads of Berkheya in South Africa and Carduoideae in Europe and California [PDF]

, 1989
Bibliography: leaves 231-233.One of the main purposes of this study was to determine whether general conclusions can be made about the association of insect herbivores with Berkheya and thistles and whether there are any 'rules' that have influenced the ...

Priming effect of root-applied silicon on the enhancement of induced resistance to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola in rice

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Silicon (Si) can confer plant resistance to both abiotic and biotic stress. In the present study, the priming effect of Si on rice (Oryza sativa cv Nipponbare) against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola and its histochemical and ...

Two novel venom proteins underlie divergent parasitic strategies between a generalist and a specialist parasite

Nature Communications, 2021
Parasitism is a widespread evolutionary strategy. A study that spans functional and evolutionary genomics identifies the molecular basis and history underlying two genes that have mediated divergent parasitic strategies (specialist vs generalist) between

Modified Biochar as a More Promising Amendment Agent for Remediation of Pesticide-Contaminated Soils: Modification Methods, Mechanisms, Applications, and Future Perspectives

Applied Sciences, 2022
With the acceleration of the process of agricultural modernization, many pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides) are applied to the field and finally brought into the soils, causing serious damage to the environment.

Foliar pests and pathogens of Eucalyptus dunnii plantations in southern Queensland [PDF]

, 2011
Eucalyptus dunnii is grown in plantations in subtropical Queensland, beyond its endemic distribution of northern NSW. As the plantation industry has expanded into subtropical Australia there has been an increase in the incidence of defoliating insects ...

Dual‐line Genome‐scale CRISPR Screening Enables Robust Target Gene Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A species‐optimized CRISPR platform integrates efficient piggyBac delivery, genome‐scale sgRNA libraries, and parallel screening in two independently engineered Bactrocera dorsalis Cas9 cell lines. Cross‐line consensus analysis filters line‐specific effects, enriches candidates with reproducible in vivo phenotypes, and reveals conserved, species ...

Neofunctionalization of an ancient domain allows parasites to avoid intraspecific competition by manipulating host behaviour

Nature Communications, 2021
Evolutionary arms races can drive adaptations in hosts and parasites as well as among competing parasites. A combination of multi-omics and functional tests identifies a set of genes that allow a parasitic wasp to minimize intraspecific competition by ...
