Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

RNA-Sequencing Reveals Differentially Expressed Rice Genes Functionally Associated with Defense against BPH and WBPH in RILs Derived from a Cross between RP2068 and TN1

open access: yesRice, 2021
Background Rice is staple food for over two billion people. Planthoppers like BPH and WBPH occur together in most of rice growing regions across Asia and cause extensive yield loss by feeding and transmission of disease-causing viruses.

Cry78Aa, a novel Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal protein with activity against Laodelphax striatellus and Nilaparvata lugens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Transgenic plants expressing insecticidal proteins originating from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have successfully been used to control lepidopteran and coleopteran pests with chewing mouthparts. However, only a handful of Bt proteins have been identified

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

THE EFFECT OF SOAKING DURATION OF TUBA ROOTS (Derris elliptica) ON THE MORTALITY OF THE WHITE-BACKED PLANTHOPPER PESTS (Metcalfa pruinosa)

open access: yesJurnal Pendidikan Matematika dan IPA
Tuba root (Derris elliptica) is a plant that contains rotenone in roots where this content functions as a poison for insects, so tuba root has the opportunity to be used as a vegetable pesticide in pest control activities.

Three dimensional reconstruction of energy stores for jumping in planthoppers and froghoppers from confocal laser scanning microscopy

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Jumping in planthopper and froghopper insects is propelled by a catapult-like mechanism requiring mechanical storage of energy and its quick release to accelerate the hind legs rapidly.
