SURVEY OF PARASITOIDS AND PREDATORS OF TOMATO LEAF MINER, TUTA ABSOLUTA (MEYRICK) (LEPIDOPTERA: GELECHIIDAE) IN EGYPT [PDF]

Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
The tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is an invasive pest, that caused a significant damage to the tomato crop in the Middle East area. It infests Solanaceae plants especially tomato, Lycopersicon esculuntum Mill.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Evaluation of Rhizosphere Bacterial Antagonists against Ralstonia solanacearum Causing Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Wilt in Central Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, 2022
Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is one of the most commonly grown vegetables in Ethiopia. However, diseases such as bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum have been limiting the production. The rhizosphere is an important source of antagonistic

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Enhancing tomato regeneration and genetic transformation efficiencies via exogenous chemical treatment and the GRF5 gene modulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementation of Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium with phloroglucinol enhanced regeneration efficiency in tomato tissue culture. Heterologous expression of an Arabidopsis growth‐regulating factor gene, GROWTH‐REGULATING FACTOR5 (GRF5), in tomato improved regeneration and transformation efficiency, suggesting a synergistic effect between ...

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

Seleção indireta para teor de 2-tridecanona em tomateiros segregantes e sua relação com a resistência à traça-do-tomateiro Indirect selection to 2-tridecanone content and its relation to tomato pinworm resistance

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 1999
Este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre o teor de 2-tridecanona (2-TD) em materiais selecionados e o nível de resistência à traça-do-tomateiro (Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)) em gerações avançadas de ...

Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In
