Silencing of dre4 Contributes to Mortality of Phyllotreta striolata [PDF]

Insects, 2022
The striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata, is one of the most destructive pests of Cruciferae crops worldwide. RNA interference (RNAi) is a promising alternative strategy for pest biological control, which overcomes the weakness of synthetic ...

Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): Arginine kinase cloning and RNAi-based pest control [PDF]

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
Insect pests cause billions of dollars in crop losses and there is the ever-present threat of insecticide resistance, pesticide pollution of food and environmental damage. New ways of controlling insect pests are urgently needed.

Genome resequencing and genome-wide polymorphisms in Chinese population of Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)

New Plant Protection
The striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata, is a globally notorious pest of cruciferous vegetables. In this study, we successfully sequenced the whole genome of the Chinese population of P. striolata. Comparative analysis with the reference genome of the Canadian population enabled a high‐resolution examination of genetic variation, which is ...

Full length sequencing reveals novel transcripts of detoxification genes along with related alternative splicing events and lncRNAs in Phyllotreta striolata. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
The striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius), damages crops in the Brassicaceae. The genetic data for this pest are insufficient to reveal its insecticide resistance mechanisms or to develop molecular markers for resistance monitoring.

Integrated pest management strategy for striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata infesting radish (Raphanus sativus)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2023
In recent past, striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) was found to be very serious on radish (Raphanus sativus L.) across Haryana state and Delhi NCR in India and farmers suffered a huge economic loss.

Entomopathogenic Fungi in the Soils of China and Their Bioactivity against Striped Flea Beetles Phyllotretastriolata

Diversity, 2022
The present research aims to explore the occurrence and diversity of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) in cultivated and uncultivated lands from different provinces of China and to search for EPF against Phyllotreta striolata.

Spatiotemporal isolation of oilseed rape fields reduces insect pest pressure and crop damage

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1388-1398, July 2023., 2023
We find that there is no one fits all approach in designing landscapes for flea beetle regulation as habitat use and scales of effect are species‐specific for these pests. However, increasing the spatiotemporal isolation of host crop fields is a promising and potentially more general means of disrupting pest populations and reducing crop damage ...

Emergence of terpene chemical communication in insects: Evolutionary recruitment of isoprenoid metabolism

Protein Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Insects have evolved a chemical communication system using terpenoids, a structurally diverse class of specialized metabolites, previously thought to be exclusively produced by plants and microbes. Gene discovery, bioinformatics, and biochemical characterization of multiple insect terpene synthases (TPSs) revealed that isopentenyl diphosphate ...
