Insect‐Microbe‐Based Laccase: Untapped Natural Resource for Industrial and Biotechnological Applications

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

An integrative strategy used by the aphid Uroleucon formosanum to counter host sesquiterpene lactone defense: Insights from combined genomic and transcriptomic analysis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 1155-1173, August 2025.
We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)

Identification and Expression Pattern Analysis of Cuticular Protein Gene Family in Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Biology
The pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus alternatus Hope, 1842) is a major vector of the pinewood nematode [Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer, 1934) Nickle, 1970]. A total of 119 cuticular protein (CP) genes were identified from the M.

Sonic and Electrical Resistivity Tomography of Pinus densiflora Stems Infected with Pine Wood Nematode

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The structural integrity of tree stems can be evaluated using tomography, a minimally invasive method. We used sonic tomography (SoT) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to compare internal states and electrical properties between healthy and pine wood nematode‐infected Pinus densiflora stems.

Oviposition site selection of Doubledaya bucculenta (Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Languriinae) in relation to wall thickness of bamboo internode

Entomological Science, Volume 28, Issue 2, June 2025.
Thickness of woody tissue of host plants may affect behaviors of wood‐using insects that excavate the woody tissue during oviposition. Here we report that females of Doubledaya bucculenta (Coleoptera, Erotylidae, Languriinae) prefer thin‐walled areas of bamboo internodes for oviposition.

Commodity risk assessment of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to deliver a risk assessment on the likelihood of pest freedom from regulated EU quarantine pests, with emphasis on Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vectors Monochamus spp. of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride as proposed by the United States (US) and

Ecological and Biological Studies of Two Larval Parasitoids on Two Monochamus Vectors of the Pinewood Nematode in South Korea

Insects
Pine wilt disease, caused by the pinewood nematode, affects Pinus densiflora, P. koraiensis Siebold and Zucc., and P. thunbergii Parl. in South Korea. It is primarily spread by vectors such as Monochamus alternatus Hope and M.
