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.

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.

Efficacy of Imidacloprid Seed Treatments against Four Wheat Aphids under Laboratory and Field Conditions [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Imidacloprid seed treatments are effective at reducing the cohorts of many insect pests on crops such as cotton, corn, and cereals. The effects of imidacloprid seed treatments depend on the aphid species.

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 ...

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare). [PDF]
Pest Manag SciRhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

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.
