Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7558-7574, October 2026.
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)

open access: yes, 2000
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

Delivery, Persistence, and Functional Response of dsRNA in Acyrthosiphon pisum: Progress and Remaining Barriers

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 123, Issue 1, September 2026.
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)

open access: yes, 1988
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 ...

Synthesis and Antifungal Evaluation of Isoquinoline‐3‐amide Derivatives Containing a Phenoxypyridine Moiety for Plant Protection

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...

Two New Polyketides From Streptomyces sp. SA61: Isolation, Structure Elucidation, and Insecticidal Activity Against Bemisia tabaci

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
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

Biochar Improves Plant Vigor and Defense Response to Green Peach Aphid Myzus persicae in Hydroponic Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
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

Bioassay and field-simulator studies of the efficacy of pymetrozine against peach-potato aphids, Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), possessing different mechanisms of insecticide resistance

open access: yes, 2002
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.

Evaluating astigmatid mites as supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus: contrasting responses between commercial and wild populations

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8319-8326, September 2026.
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 ...

Поведение на Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera; Aphididae) спрямо Oриенталски и Виржиния тютюни в разсадна фаза

open access: yesПочвознание, агрохимия и екология, 2023
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
