The role of flavonols in insect resistance and stress response.

Current opinion in plant biology, 2023
Plants are sessile organisms and must adapt to various environmental changes, especially from stress conditions. Synthesis of secondary metabolites by the plant is one of the adaptive mechanisms against stress to provide resistance.

Insect resistance management facing African smallholder farmers under climate change.

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2022
Changes in climatic conditions affect pest populations and ultimately result in increased pest status and yield losses. While pesticide application is usually the first defensive tool used to control pest species that threaten crop production ...

Population genetic structure and demographic history of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): implications for insect resistance management programs.

Pest Management Science, 2019
BACKGROUND Spodoptera frugiperda is a destructive pest that often imposes difficult management due to its high polyphagy and rapid insecticide resistance evolution.

Insect Resistant Cotton Plants

Nature Biotechnology, 1990
We have expressed truncated forms of the insect control protein genes of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1(cryIA(b) and HD-73 (cryIA(c) in cotton plants at levels that provided effective control of agronomically important lepidopteran insect pests.

Insect Resistance to Insecticides: Causes, Mechanisms, and Exploring Potential Solutions.

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology
Insecticides play a crucial role as the primary means of controlling agricultural pests, preventing significant damage to crops. However, the misuse of these insecticides has led to the development of resistance in insect pests against major classes of ...

Increased nutrient availability decreases insect resistance in cranberry

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, 2019
Herbivorous insects are considered to be a major problem in cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) production. Spraying chemical pesticides is common practice, although beneficial insects could also be affected.

Resistance to the Fumigant Phosphine and Its Management in Insect Pests of Stored Products: A Global Perspective.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2020
Development of resistance in major grain insect pest species to the key fumigant phosphine (hydrogen phosphide) across the globe has put the viability and sustainability of phosphine in jeopardy.

Plant–insect interactions: molecular approaches to insect resistance

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2004
Recent advances in our understanding of induced responses in plants and their regulation, brought about by a revolution in molecular biology, have re-focused attention on the potential exploitation of endogenous resistance mechanisms for crop protection. The future goal of crop biotechnology is thus to engineer a durable, multimechanistic resistance to
