Effects of Imidacloprid-Induced Hormesis on the Development and Reproduction of the Rose-Grain Aphid Metopolophium dirhodum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Field populations of insect pests are affected by sub-lethal doses of insecticides, leading to hormesis. Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide widely used to control various sucking insect pests, including aphids.

Proteomic responses of two spring wheat cultivars to the combined water deficit and aphid (Metopolophium dirhodum) treatments [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 In the field, plants usually have to face the combined effects of abiotic and biotic stresses. In our study, two spring wheat cultivars—Septima and Quintus—were subjected to three water regimes [70%, 50%, and 40% soil water capacity (SWC)], aphid ...

Insecticidal Activity of Some Major Essential Oil Components against Metopolophium dirhodum and Its Predators [PDF]
PlantsEssential oils (EOs) are plant metabolites with important insecticidal effects. Nevertheless, information on the efficacy of the major substances on aphids and their natural enemies is still missing. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to identify

The Peculiarities of Metopolophium dirhodum (Walk.) Population Formation Depending on Its Clonal and Morphotypic Organization during the Summer Period [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The ecological plasticity of aphid populations is determined by their clonal and morphotypic diversity. Clones will be successful when the development of their component morphotypes is optimized.

A-to-I RNA editing of CYP18A1 mediates transgenerational wing dimorphism in aphids [PDF]
eLifeWing dimorphism is a common phenomenon that plays key roles in the environmental adaptation of aphid; however, the signal transduction in response to environmental cues and the regulation mechanism related to this event remain unknown.
