An overview of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the detection of insect pests in stored grains

Journal of Stored Products Research, 2020
Applications of near-infrared spectroscopy for measuring various aspects of grain quality have expanded rapidly in recent years. One application that could be of particular use to growers and industry is the detection of insect pests across a range of ...

Chromosome-level genome sequencing and assembly of the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina myrica

Scientific Data
Leptopilina wasps are crucial for biological pest control, particularly against the globally emerging pest Drosophila suzukii. Despite their ecological significance, the genomic basis of host selection and parasitism in this genus remains underexplored ...

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 ...

A Disaggregation Strategy for Nanopesticide Fabrication: Investigating the Impact of Nanosizing on Pesticide Biointeractions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To explore the impact of nanosizing on pesticide biointeractions, a 7‐nm (average) emamectin benzoate nanopesticide without nanocarriers or surfactants is fabricated via HOAc‐mediated disaggregation. Nanosizing enhances bioactivity against Megalurothrips usitatus and Meloidogyne enterolobii and improves plant penetration.

Two-Sex Life Table Analysis of Frankliniella intonsa Reared on Nine Different Vegetable Crops in Guangxi, China

Agriculture
Frankliniella intonsa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a polyphagous pest that causes significant economic agricultural losses by damaging flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. We performed an age-stage two-sex life table analysis to evaluate the performance

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 ...

From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

Biology, physiology and gene expression of grasshopper Oedaleus asiaticus exposed to diet stress from plant secondary compounds

Scientific Reports, 2017
We studied the role of plant primary and secondary metabolites in mediating plant-insect interactions by conducting a no-choice single-plant species field experiment to compare the suitability, enzyme activities, and gene expression of Oedaleus asiaticus
