Plant domestication slows pest evolution
Ecology Letters, 2015AbstractAgricultural practices such as breeding resistant varieties and pesticide use can cause rapid evolution of pest species, but it remains unknown how plant domestication itself impacts pest contemporary evolution. Using experimental evolution on a comparative phylogenetic scale, we compared the evolutionary dynamics of a globally important ...

Pests and diseases can have direct effects on the safety, yield and quality of food grains. The food safety aspect is shown, for example, by the effects of molds that produce mycotoxins. Plant diseases may be caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses, each having its specific means of propagation, mechanism of injury, and possibility of control.

Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference Proceedings, 2017
It is well known that parasites and plants have complex intereactons. It is not well known how parasites may affect polinator preference. In the study I examined the plant OxEye where it was with or without parasitic aphids. Different plant characteristics were measured as well as the amount of aphids on the plant. Number of polinator visits and visit

Eradication of Plant Pests--Pro
Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America, 1978Entomology professors were “fighting” among themselves about eradication 40 years ago, when I was an undergraduate in college. As a naive country boy, I found it difficult to understand why a group of well educated scientists could not agree, at least semantically if not philosophically, on what eradication was and its place in the overall management ...

Plant Genetics in Pest Management
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1991The potential of plant genetics in the overall context of integrated pest control could be viewed simply as the potential of plant resistance in pest management. Genetic resistance in plants is one of the most effective and economic means of controlling plant pests. Resistant plants are the first line defence against pests.
