RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

Field efficacy of a bioherbicide mimic (DiS‐NH2) in a nanoparticle formulation for weed control in durum wheat

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A new polymeric nanoparticle formulation containing aminophenoxazinone DiS‐NH2 (2,2′‐disulfanediyldianiline) is proposed as a post‐emergence and contact bioherbicide for weed management in durum wheat. Abstract BACKGROUND Weed‐resistance phenomena have increased dramatically in recent years. Bioherbicides can offer a sustainable alternative to chemical

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...

Emergence of metachronal waves in a chain of symmetrically beating filaments [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Recent experiments have shown that metachronal waves (MCWs) can emerge from a chain of symmetrically beating nematodes aligned at the edge of sessile droplets. Our study, employing a coupled elastohydrodynamic model of active filaments, elucidates that a misalignment caused by a tilt against the bounding wall disrupts the synchronization and generates ...

Indirect plant defense may provide economically important pest suppression in sorghum

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Laboratory measures of sorghum direct and indirect plant resistance traits aligned with natural enemy recruitment and pest suppression in the field. Abstract BACKGROUND A promising strategy to optimize biological control of insect pests is selecting crop varieties with indirect defense traits.

Description of four species of Tylenchidae Örley, 1880 (Nematoda: Tylenchomorpha) with two new records from Iran

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2016
During a nematological survey, nineteen known species of plant-parasitic nematodes belonging to the family Tylenchidae (Tylenchomorpha: Tylenchoidea) were collected and identified from different localities of West Azerbayjan and Kermanshah provinces ...
