ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Methylation and expression of amplified esterase genes in the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer)
Most populations of the aphid Myzus persicae have amplified genes (up to 80 copies) encoding the insecticide-detoxifying esterase E4. This paper reports the analysis of methylation of the E4 gene and its flanking DNA with the use of methylation-sensitive

Aphids efficiently ingest dsRNA, which persists in the midgut but is rapidly degraded by aphid nucleases when unprotected. Chitosan and LDH‐based formulations improve dsRNA stability, triggering RNAi activation. Despite this protection, gene knockdown remains variable, though the RNAi machinery is consistently activated.

Spontaneous loss and reselection of resistance in extremely resistant Myzus persicae (Sulzer)
Modification of an immunoassay for detection of esterase-4 (E4), the enzyme conferring insecticide resistance in Myzus persicae, enabled further discrimination of extremely high levels of insecticide resistance (R3) from the very high levels (R2 ...

The splicing of phenoxypyridine moieties to isoquinolin‐3‐carboxylic acid enhanced its biological activity against plant pathogenic fungi. Among target compounds, compound X6 demonstrated significant antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea in vitro and in vivo assays, Molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, as well as SDH enzyme assay ...

Isolation of six polyketides (including two new compounds, strekingmycins I and J) from earthworm gut‐derived Streptomyces sp. SA61 and their insecticidal activity against third‐instar nymphs of Bemisia tabaci. Strekingmycin A (1) exhibited the most potent activity (LC50 = 5.58 µg/mL), comparable to the commercial insecticide spirotetramat. ABSTRACT To

ABSTRACT Biochar (BC) is increasingly recognized as a sustainable agricultural amendment to improve soil health, promote plant growth, and suppress insect pests. While its application has been extensively refined in conventional soil‐based agroecosystems, its performance in hydroponics, particularly in liquid formulations remain largely unexplored. The

Twenty-one clones of the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), carrying various combinations of known mechanisms of insecticide resistance were assessed for their response to the new pyridine azomethine compound, pymetrozine, in leaf-dip bioassays.

Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...

Целта на проучването беше да се анализира поведението на Myzus persicae Sulzer спрямо два типа тютюни – ориенталски (екотип Дупница - сорт Дупница 733) и Виржиния (Л 0842) при производството на разсад. Появата на листните въшки беше почти идентична през
