Transcriptomic and proteomic signatures underlying nymphal adaptation and foam production in the forage pest Mahanarva spectabilis

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 556-575, October 2026.
RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

Synthetic sex pheromone attracts the leishmaniasis vector Lutzomyia longipalpis to experimental chicken sheds treated with insecticide [PDF]

, 2010
Current strategies for controlling American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) have been unable to prevent the spread of the disease across Brazil. With no effective vaccine and culling of infected dogs an unpopular and unsuccessful alternative, new tools are ...

A yeast model of 5‐oxoproline accumulation reveals a general toleration to 5‐oxoproline

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1752-1765, September 2026.
Using a yeast model, we show that even high accumulation of 5‐oxoproline causes only mild cellular stress and does not trigger oxidative stress. Instead, cells adapt by activating efflux pumps and diverse protective pathways, suggesting that previously proposed harmful effects of 5‐oxoproline may arise from indirect metabolic imbalances rather than the

Pheromone gland development and pheromone production in Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

, 2011
The sand ßy Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) is the main vector of American visceral leishmaniasis. Adult males produce a terpenoid sex pheromone that in some cases also acts as male aggregation pheromone.

Influence of Abiotic Factors on Pheromone Trap Catches and Field Infestation of Helicoverpa armigera on Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) in Hilly Region of West Bengal, India

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management, 2023
An experiment was carried out at Regional Research Station, Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalimpong, during the winter seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-10, to study the impact of weather factors on pheromone trap catches and field infestation of ...

The Controlled Release of Insect Pheromones From Biobased Thermoplastic Compounds for Sustainable Pest Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study advances sustainable pest management by characterizing novel insect‐specific pheromone compounds with a linear release profile. Release rate constants are derived from accelerated high‐temperature tests, enabling broadly applicable comparisons of pheromone‐polymer compounds.

Crop sequencing effects of seven crops on grain yield, volunteers, and weeds in Saskatchewan

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Every growing season, producers must decide which crops to grow and in what sequence to enhance returns and sustain productivity. However, when producers consider growing specialty crops like canary seed (Phalaris canariensis L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), or quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), data are ...

Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 4777-4786, September 2026.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.
