Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

How Do People Conceptualize Narcissism and Narcissistic Individuals?

open access: yesJournal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Although past decades have seen notable advances in the conceptualization and assessment of narcissism, scholarship examining lay conceptualizations of the construct remains limited. Method We report two studies utilizing bottom‐up, participant‐driven methodologies to examine public understandings of narcissism and narcissistic ...

Ticks and tick‐borne bacterial pathogens found on hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle in the Central River region of The Gambia

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
First detection of Ehrlichia minasensis, Anaplasma marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in cattle in The Gambia. Identification of four tick species, with Hyalomma marginatum being the most common. 15.6% of ticks tested positive for tick‐borne pathogens, including Ehrlichia spp., A. marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

An Auto‐Activated NLR‐Protein OsRGA3D605V Confers Rice Triple Resistance and Deactivates Resistance After Phosphorylation by OsILA1

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The incidence of pests and diseases seriously impacts rice production, and NLR genes play a crucial role in the regulation of immune signalling in rice. Here, we identified an NLR gene OsRGA3 that positively regulates rice resistance to brown planthopper (BPH) and rice blast disease (RBD).

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.
