The Bioeconomics of Controlling an African Rodent Pest Species [PDF]

The paper treats the economy of controlling an African pest rodent, the multimammate rat, causing major damage in maize production. An ecological population model is presented and used as a basis for the economic analyses carried out at the village level

An Effector TaCRVP From Tuta Absoluta Oral Secretion Impairs H2O2‐Mediated Plant Defense by Targeting Tomato SlCAT2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Tuta absoluta salivary effector TaCRVP subverts tomato immunity by hijacking host catalase SlCAT2. Through a sophisticated dual mechanism, TaCRVP simultaneously promotes SlCAT2 tetramerization for activation and blocks its SlAdBiL‐mediated degradation for stabilization.

PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEMS IN PEST MANAGEMENT [PDF]

The use of chemical pesticides frequently causes minor pests to become serious problems by disturbing the natural controls that keep them in check. As a result, it is possible to suffer heavier crop losses after pesticides are introduced than before ...

Advances in Se Wide‐Bandgap Photovoltaics and TexSe1‐x SWIR Photodiodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this review, fundamental properties and current challenges in Se photovoltaics (PVs) for tandem and indoor PVs and TexSe1‐x alloys for short wave infrared photodiodes are discussed. A case is made for the practicality of elemental chalcogenide optoelectronics, and a pathway toward resolving the key challenges in these respective technologies is ...

Efficiency assessment of a novel automatic mosquito pupae sex separation system in support of area-wide male-based release strategies

Scientific Reports
This study provides a comparative analysis of two state-of-the-art automatic mosquito pupae sex sorters currently available: the ORINNO and the WOLBAKI Biotech pupae sex separation systems, which both exploit the sexual size dimorphism of pupae. In Aedes

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Giant Direct Magnetoelectric Effect in Nanocomposite CoFe2O4:PVDF‐TrFE Thin Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel three‐step grow‐etch‐fill fabrication approach creates structured cobalt ferrite/ferroelectric polymer nanocomposites with high interfacial areas. Driven by efficient strain‐mediated coupling, this crystalline system achieves a giant room‐temperature magnetoelectric coefficient nearly two orders of magnitude higher than other CFO/PVDF‐TrFE thin
