Control of Rice Water Weevil with Nematodes, 1990 [PDF]
Abstract Experiments, designed as randomized complete blocks, were conducted at the Texas A&M University Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Beaumont and its satellite station at Eagle Lake. Each of 2 experiments at Beaumont and a single experiment at Eagle Lake consisted of 5 and 8 treatments, respectively, all with 4 ...

Endosymbiosis allows Sitophilus oryzae to persist in dry conditions
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
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,

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Water-wise Rice Production [PDF]
Rice is a profligate user of water. It takes 3,000–5,000 liters to produce 1 kilogram of rice, which is about 2 to 3 times more than to produce 1 kilogram of other cereals such as wheat or maize.

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes
