Microbiome responses during virulence adaptation by a phloem‐feeding insect to resistant near‐isogenic rice lines [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The microbiomes of phloem‐feeding insects include functional bacteria and yeasts essential for herbivore survival and development. Changes in microbiome composition are implicated in virulence adaptation by herbivores to host plant species or host ...

Reemerging Rice Orange Leaf Phytoplasma with Varying Symptoms Expressions and Its Transmission by a New Leafhopper Vector—Nephotettix virescens Distant [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP) belongs to the “Candidatus Phytoplasma asteris” 16SrI-B subgroup, which is solely transmitted by the zigzag-striped leafhopper (Recilia dorsalis Motchulsky) and the green leafhopper (Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler ...

Interactions between Rice Resistance to Planthoppers and Honeydew-Related Egg Parasitism under Varying Levels of Nitrogenous Fertilizer [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Host plant resistance is the most researched method for the management of planthoppers and leafhoppers in tropical rice. For optimal effects, resistance should be resilient to fertilizer inputs and work in synergy with natural enemies.

Primary and Secondary Symbionts of Cambodian Cicadellidae and the Role of Parasitisation. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepLeafhoppers are key agricultural pests, and their interactions with parasitoids may be influenced by microbial symbionts. In this study, we characterized the bacterial communities of six Cambodian leafhopper species and their parasitoids, finding that while Sulcia dominates leafhopper microbiotas, parasitoids exhibit higher microbial diversity.

Harnessing Flowering Bund Plants Through Ecological Engineering to Improve Biological Control of Tungro Virus Vectors in Indonesian Rice Fields Agroecosystem. [PDF]
Int J Food SciEcological engineering (EE) has emerged as a promising strategy for managing insect pests in rice ecosystems by reducing dependency on chemical pesticides. However, the survival of parasitoids and predators in rice habitats is often limited due to a lack of refuge and food sources.

An integrated mathematical model for optimizing integrated pest management strategies against rice tungro virus disease [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOne of the main obstacles in rice cultivation is rice tungro disease, caused by the combined infection of Rice Tungro Spherical Virus (RTBV) and Rice Tungro Spherical Virus (RTSV), which are transmitted by green leafhopper vectors (Nephotettix virescens)

Combined Effects of Soil Silicon and Host Plant Resistance on Planthoppers, Blast and Bacterial Blight in Tropical Rice [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Soil silicon enhances rice defenses against a range of biotic stresses. However, the magnitude of these effects can depend on the nature of the rice variety.

Unlocking agro-ecosystem sustainability: exploring the bottom-up effects of microbes, plants, and insect herbivores. [PDF]
Integr ZoolMicroorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...
