Genome assembly of Elcysma westwoodi provides insights into host‐plant cyanogenic glucoside detoxification and chemical defence gene evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
A chromosome‐level genome of Elcysma westwoodi was assembled. The genome encodes 272 detoxification‐related genes. A single‐copy bCAS was retained for cyanide detoxification. CYP405A and CYP332A were recruited into cyanogenic defence evolution. UGT33A retained a conserved GT‐B fold and catalytic domains.

Insect herbivore communities colonising the flower-heads of Berkheya in South Africa and Carduoideae in Europe and California

, 1989
Bibliography: leaves 231-233.One of the main purposes of this study was to determine whether general conclusions can be made about the association of insect herbivores with Berkheya and thistles and whether there are any 'rules' that have influenced the ...

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Plant protease inhibitors in control of phytophagous insects [PDF]

, 2002
Plant proteinase inhibitors (PIs) have been well established to play a potent defensive role against predators and pathogens. Although diverse endogenous functions for these proteins has been proposed, ranging from regulators of endogenous proteinases to

L'impact du miellat de puceron au niveau des relations tritrophiques entre les plantes-hôtes, les insectes ravageurs et leurs ennemis naturels [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2009
Aphid honeydew impact on the tritrophic relationships between host-plants, phytophagous insects and their natural enemies. Tritrophic relations between plants, phytophagous insects and beneficials are based on the presence of chemical cues in the ...

Food, shelter or competitors? Overlapping of life stages and host plant selection in a Neotropical stink bug species

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2017
Phytophagous insects may choose host plants based on conditions that enhance offspring performance. However, some insect species may also select plants based on attributes that enhance their own performance regardless of the consequences for offspring ...
