Abstract Traditional phenotyping methods, coupled with genetic mapping in segregating populations, have identified loci governing complex traits in many crops. Unoccupied aerial systems (UAS)‐based phenotyping has helped to reveal a more novel and dynamic relationship between time‐specific associated loci with complex traits previously unable to be ...

Antibiosis of the Pith Maize to Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]
Thirteen inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) with different levels of stem resistance to the stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides Lefevbre were evaluated in the field and the laboratory to determine the antibiotic resistance to this pest. Inbreds CM151, CO125, and EP39 had antibiotic pith as well as stem resistance, so the pith could play a role in stem ...

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA assessed the 2019 post‐market environmental monitoring (PMEM) report on the cultivation of Cry1Ab‐expressing maize event MON 810. Like previous years, there was full compliance with refuge requirement in Portugal and partial compliance with refuge requirements by Spanish farmers ...

Revisiting the taxonomy and molecular systematics of Sesamia stemborers (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Apameini: Sesamiina): updated classification and comparative evaluation of species delimitation methods [PDF]
In this study, we reassess the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Sesamia Guenée, 1852 and examine in more detail the members of the nonagrioides species group, for which three distinct species complexes are identified.

Climate change will shift maize cultivation northward, requiring continuous multi‐resistance breeding approaches against existing and invasive pathogens and insects. Abstract Maize productivity is threatened by global climate change. Climate change scenarios suggest that north‐western (NW) Europe will get warmer and drier during the main crop‐growing ...

The possibility of using artificial oviposition substrates for mass rearing of Sesamia cretica and S. nonagrioides (Lep.: Noctuidae) under laboratory condition [PDF]
Successful mass rearing of Telenomus busseolae Gahan relies on the large-scale production of Sesamia spp. eggs, in Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of artificial substrates (filter paper, parafilm, wax paper, and cellophane) in ...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an important food crop in semi‐arid tropics. The crop grain yield ranges from 0.5 t/ha to 0.8 t/ha compared to potential yields of 10 t/ha. The African stem borer Busseola fusca Fuller (Noctuidae) and the spotted stem borer Chilo partellus Swinhoe (Crambidae), are among the most economically important insect ...

Limited attention has been paid to maize (Zea mays L.) resistance induced by corn borer damage, although evidence shows that induced defenses have lower resource allocation costs than constitutive defenses. Maize responses to short- and long-term feeding

Sixteen Years of Bt Maize in the EU Hotspot: Why Has Resistance Not Evolved? [PDF]
The majority of Bt maize production in the European Union (EU) is concentrated in northeast Spain, which is Europe's only hotspot where resistance might evolve, and the main target pest, Sesamia nonagrioides, has been exposed to Cry1Ab maize continuously
