Identification and genome insights into Pyrenochaeta nobilis, a novel endophytic fungus isolated from Astragalus membranaceus with gray mold-control activity

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionGray mold, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea, is a significant threat to agricultural production, especially under low temperature and high humidity conditions. This disease can cause substantial yield losses in various crops,

Chimera and cluster collective states in a dispersal ecological network under state-dependent feedback control and complex habitat structure

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021
Pest control based on an economic threshold (ET) can effectively prevent excessive pest control measures such as pesticide abuse and overharvesting. The instinctive dispersal of pest populations in biological network patches for better survival poses ...

Potential of Cover Crops to Control Arthropod Pests in Organic Viticulture

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2022
Plant diversity has the potential to conserve beneficials and thereby naturally controlling arthropod pests. Beneficials’ activity can be increased by pollen-rich plant species.

Mutations of the complex I PSST target gene confers acaricide resistance and a fitness cost in Panonychus citri

BMC Biology
Background Pesticide resistance is a serious problem that threatens crop industries. Major resistance towards pyridaben, an acaricidal inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport complex I (METI-Is), has been reported in tetranychids following its ...

Biological Control of Marine Pests

Ecology, 1996
Biological control, as used in terrestrial systems, may hold promise for use against exotic marine species. We first review some marine pests, displaying their diversity, the damage they cause, and possible controls. We then contrast approaches for marine and terrestrial pest control, providing guidelines for adapting terrestrial controls to the marine

Microbiome and metabolome dynamics in phloem and rhizosphere of Pinus tabuliformis against Dendroctonus valens infestation

Frontiers in Microbiology
Microbial communities play essential roles in mediating plant defenses against insect pests. However, how host-associated microbiota and metabolites jointly respond to bark beetle infestation remains largely unexplored. Here, we integrated microbiome and

Insights from Population Genomics to Enhance and Sustain Biological Control of Insect Pests

Insects, 2020
Biological control—the use of organisms (e.g., nematodes, arthropods, bacteria, fungi, viruses) for the suppression of insect pest species—is a well-established, ecologically sound and economically profitable tactic for crop protection. This approach has

Biological Control of Coleopteran Pests [PDF]

International Journal of Bio-resource and Stress Management, 2018
Coleopteran pests having the modified forewings which serves as protective covers for the membranous hind wings and commonly called as beetle. Most of them are important pest of agriculture, forestry, fruit trees and stored grain while only a few species are considered to be beneficial.

Loss of mitochondrial single stranded DNA-binding protein (mtSSB) gene is associated with mitochondrial genome fragmentation in Psocodea (bark lice, book lice, and parasitic lice)

BMC Biology
Background Organelle genome fragmentation is a drastic large-scale chromosomal mutation. Why and how organelle genomes become fragmented is still poorly understood.
