Trehalose-6-Phosphate Synthase Contributes to Rapid Cold Hardening in the Invasive Insect Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by Regulating Trehalose Metabolism

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Rapid cold hardening (RCH) is known to rapidly enhance the cold tolerance of insects. Trehalose has been demonstrated to be a cryoprotectant in Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus, an important invasive pest of rice in China.

Rice Water Weevil Control, California, 1990 [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 1994
Abstract Two experiments were conducted to compare control of RWW larvae (Experiment 1) or adults (Experiment 2) among insecticide treatments. Both tests were performed at the California Rice Experiment Station, Biggs, in 1990. Each experiment was a RCBD with 3 replications of 3 insecticide treatments and an untreated control. Treatments

Endosymbiosis allows Sitophilus oryzae to persist in dry conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Insects frequently associate with intracellular microbial symbionts (endosymbionts) that enhance their ability to cope with challenging environmental conditions. Endosymbioses with cuticle-enhancing microbes have been reported in several beetle families.

TMT-Based Quantitative Proteomic Profiling of Overwintering Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Adaptations to low temperature play a critical role in restricting the geographical distribution of insects. Decreasing day lengths and temperatures trigger seasonal cold adaptations in insects. These adaptions include changes in expression at the miRNA,

Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.
