Ligands of HMG-like dorsal switch protein 1 of Spodoptera exigua leads to mortality in diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella [PDF]

Heliyon
HMG-like dorsal switch protein 1 (DSP1) is the insect homolog of the high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein of the vertebrates. Previous studies confirmed DSP1 in Spodoptera exigua, Tenebrio molitor, and Aedes albopictus, and were analyzed for their ...

Phenology of the Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in the UK and provision of decision support for brassica growers [PDF]

, 2020
In the UK, severe infestations by Plutella xylostella occur sporadically and are due mainly to the immigration of moths. The aim of this study was to develop a more detailed understanding of the phenology of P.

Lack of correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to a herbivore in crucifer plants: real or flawed by experimental methods? [PDF]

, 2009
The correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to herbivores in plants has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, and various approaches to determining levels of resistance have been used in this field of research.

Cryptic Plutella species show deep divergence despite the capacity to hybridize

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018
Background Understanding genomic and phenotypic diversity among cryptic pest taxa has important implications for the management of pests and diseases. The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., has been intensively studied due to its ability to evolve

Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control [PDF]

, 2010
The use of flowering field margins is often proposed as a method to support biological control in agro-ecosystems. In addition to beneficial insects, many herbivores depend on floral food as well.

First reports of Zoophthora radicans (Entomophthoraceae) and Metarhizium rileyi (Clavicipitaceae) as pathogens of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) in Argentina

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018
Plutella xylostella (L.), diamondback moth (DBM), is considered among the 20 most resistant arthropods in the world. Entomopathogenic fungi are important mortality factors of lepidopteran in the field.
