Crude Volatile Oil Derived from Sphaeranthus Indicus Linn (Asteraceae) Comparative Insecticidal Activity Against Agriculture Pests Spodoptera Litura and Plutella Xylostella [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The goal of this work is to compare the Larvicidal activity of plant-derived essentialoils against Spodoptera litura and Plutella xylostella and eliminate the chemical burden in managing agricultural pests. Pest rearing, homology modelling, and molecular

Harnessing benzamides as plant stress inhibitors, growth promoters and in management of crop resilience—A review

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Benzamides boost crop resilience by inhibiting poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) to enhance stress tolerance and, through their antimicrobial, herbicidal, and insecticidal derivatives, they offer broad protection for sustainable crop improvement. Abstract Benzamides have emerged as potent stress inhibitors and growth promoters in plant biotechnology ...

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Parasitic insect-derived miRNAs modulate host development

Nature Communications, 2018
The moth Plutella xylostella during its larval stage is the host of the endoparasitic wasp Cotesia vestalis. Here the authors show that the parasitoids deliver microRNAs to their hosts through their symbiotic virus and specialized cells leading to ...

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Coevolution and Functional Effects of Endosymbiotic Rickettsia in Leptocybe invasa Fisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

Physical map of a Plutella xylostella granulovirus genome.

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2000
A plasmid library of restriction DNA fragments of a Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV) was constructed, which covered all 9 EcoRI and all 19 HindIII fragments, and 18 of 20 PstI fragments. Restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization analysis of the cloned viral DNA fragments in the library and the restricted viral DNA fragments ...

Evolutionary constraints in host shifts: Limited adaptation of Plutella xylostella to cardenolide‐defended Erysimum cheiranthoides

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 501-516, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.
