NADPH Oxidase 5 Is Essential for Molting and Oviposition in a Rice Planthopper Nilaparvata lugens. [PDF]
Simple Summary The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, a plant phloem-sucking Hemipteran insect, has become the most destructive pest for rice—the major food source for half of the world’s population.

Suppression of Rice Planthopper Populations by the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium anisopliae without Affecting the Rice Microbiota. [PDF]
Entomopathogenic fungi can regulate insect populations and function as crucial biological control agents against insect pests, but their impacts on nontarget microorganisms are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the potential of the fungal

Planthopper-Secreted Salivary Calmodulin Acts as an Effector for Defense Responses in Rice
The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens, BPH) and small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus, SBPH) are major pests of rice (Oryza sativa) in Asia. These piercing-sucking insects secrete saliva into the host during feeding.

Molecular identification and eco-friendly management of rice brown planthoppers in Bangladesh [PDF]
Infestation by various insect pests is the main constraint for growing rice where rice brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål) can severely damage rice plants directly through feeding. Therefore, the study aims to detect rice brown planthoppers (BPH)

Versatile Roles of Microbes and Small RNAs in Rice and Planthopper Interactions [PDF]
Planthopper infestation in rice causes direct and indirect damage through feeding and viral transmission. Host microbes and small RNAs (sRNAs) play essential roles in regulating biological processes, such as metabolism, development, immunity, and stress ...

Planthopper salivary sheath protein LsSP1 contributes to manipulation of rice plant defenses
Salivary elicitors secreted by herbivorous insects can be perceived by host plants to trigger plant immunity. However, how insects secrete other salivary components to subsequently attenuate the elicitor-induced plant immunity remains poorly understood ...
