AbstractBACKGROUNDGenetic manipulation of sex determination pathways in insects provides the basis for a broad range of strategies to benefit agricultural security and human health. The P‐element somatic inhibitor (PSI) protein, an exon splicing silencer that promotes male‐specific splicing of dsx, plays a critical role in male sexual differentiation ...

AbstractThe diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), has evolved resistance to various types of insecticides in the field. In the present study, the resistance of P. xylostella (designated Cya‐SEL) to cyantraniliprole increased to 30.6 and 326‐fold after 26 generations of selection, compared with the field population (TA ...

AbstractThis study evaluated the predation byPodisus nigrispinus(Dallas) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) at various densities of larvae and pupae of the pestPlutella xylostella(L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). We tested predator behavior of femaleP. nigrispinusat six experimental densities (1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 prey items in a 1‐l transparent plastic ...

AbstractBACKGROUNDRapid evolution of pest resistance has seriously threatened the sustainable use of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), is the first pest to develop resistance to Bt biopesticides in the open field, which renders it an excellent model to explore the molecular basis of Bt resistance in insects ...

AbstractA bioassay‐guided fractionation of Cynanchum komarovii crude alkaloid extract led to the isolation of two alkaloids. The isolated alkaloids were identified as 7‐demethoxytylophorine (1) and 6‐hydroxyl‐2,3‐dimethoxy phenanthroindolizidine (2) based on the comparison of their spectroscopic characteristics with the literature data.

AbstractThe strength of plant‐herbivore interactions varies spatially and through plant ontogeny, which may result in variable selection on plant defense, both among populations and life‐history stages. To test whether populations have diverged in herbivore resistance at an early plant stage, we quantified oviposition preference and larval feeding by ...
