Abundance of Sesamia nonagrioides (Lef.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on the Edges of the Mediterranean Basin [PDF]
Organisms inhabiting seasonal environments are able to synchronize their life cycles with seasonal cycles of biotic and abiotic factors. Diapause, a state of low metabolic activity and developmental arrest, is used by many insect species to cope with ...

O Lepidóptero Noctuídeo Sesamia nonagrioides Lef., vulgarmente conhecido como «rosca ou broca do milho», foi detectado sobre as culturas florais de Strelitzia na ilha de S. Miguel - Açores. De momento a importância económica da traça é pouco significativa, mas esta cultura, nos Açores, tem vindo a ser fomentada pelos Serviços Agrícolas da ilha de S ...

Effects of seed infection by Fusarium verticillioides on maize performance against Sesamia nonagrioides attack. [PDF]
Abstract In maize (Zea mays L), the fungus Fusarium verticillioides can behave as a pathogen, but it is also able of asymptomatic colonization as an endophyte. Therefore, it would be of great value to identify metabolites and/or metabolic pathways implicated in mutualistic and pathogenic interactions.

Assessment of the 2023 post-market environmental monitoring report on the cultivation of genetically modified maize MON 810 in the EU. [PDF]
Abstract At the request of the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessed the 2023 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of the genetically modified maize event MON 810, which expresses the Cry1Ab protein. The report provides no evidence of adverse effects from maize MON 810 cultivation.

Developmental and Transcriptomic Responses in Sea Urchin Larvae to an Urban-Associated Pollutant. [PDF]
Marine intertidal organisms exist at the transition from sea to land, where they are exposed to a unique suite of stressors including those associated with wastewater outflow, sewage effluent, and coastline development. Exposing sea urchin larvae to several concentrations of a common urban‐associated chemical, we identified impacts on survival ...

Performance of Sesamia nonagrioides on cultivated and wild host plants: Implications for Bt maize resistance management. [PDF]
10 p.-3 fig.-5 tab.BACKGROUND:Sesamia nonagrioides is an important maize pest in the Mediterranean basin that is effectively controlled by Cry1Ab‐expressing maize (Bt maize). The continued cultivation of Bt maize in Spain exerts a high selection pressure

A multi‐year dormancy strategy in a cabbage beetle population in southeastern China
Our results showed that duration of diapause for adults collected in different years varied from several months to 5 years. Approximately 25.9%–29.2% of individuals showed prolonged diapause over the 5 years of observation. The temperature and photoperiod during induction have a significant influence on the incidence of prolonged diapause. Abstract The
