A glycoside hydrolase 12 protein from Cytospora chrysosperma triggers plant immunity but is not essential to virulence

Phytopathology Research, 2023
Phytopathogens secrete numerous effectors that facilitate their infection and colonization processes. However, the pathogenic mechanism of effectors in Cytospora chrysosperma, the causal agent of canker disease in many woody plants, remains poorly ...

Detection of the Monitoring Window for Pine Wilt Disease Using Multi-Temporal UAV-Based Multispectral Imagery and Machine Learning Algorithms

Remote Sensing, 2023
Pine wilt disease (PWD) has caused huge economic and environmental losses since it invaded China. Although early monitoring is an effective way to control this hazard, the monitoring window for the early stage is hard to identify, and varies in different

Two odorant receptors regulate 1-octen-3-ol induced oviposition behavior in the oriental fruit fly

Communications Biology, 2023
Gravid female fruit flies show a strong preference to 1-octen-3-ol, a volatile compound from mango. Two odorant receptors are shown to regulate 1- octen-3-ol induced oviposition behaviour.

Integration of dsRNA against host immune response genes augments the virulence of transgenic Metarhizium robertsii strains in insect pest species

Microbial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary The slow lethality of fungal biopesticides to insects restrains their widespread application as a strategy of pest control. In this study, unary, binary and ternary transgenic Metarhizium robertsii were created by integrating genes that encode ...
