Insect pest management in the age of synthetic biology
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 25-36, January 2022., 2022 Summary Arthropod crop pests are responsible for 20% of global annual crop losses, a figure predicted to increase in a changing climate where the ranges of numerous species are projected to expand. At the same time, many insect species are beneficial, acting as pollinators and predators of pest species.

Evaluation of Popcorn Germplasm for Resistance to Sesamia nonagrioides Attack [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2005 Popcorn adapted to Spanish conditions could be an interesting and profitable alternative to field corn. However, little is known about breeding popcorn germplasm for adaptation to Spain. Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèvbre is the main insect pest affecting popcorn quality and yield under Spanish growing conditions. The objectives of the study were the search

The Plant Genome, Volume 14, Issue 2, July 2021., 2021 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]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2002 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 ...

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021 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 ...

Defensive changes in maize leaves induced by feeding of Mediterranean corn borer larvae [PDF]
, 2017 [Background] Plants can respond to insect attack via defense mechanisms that reduce insect performance. In this study, we examined the effects of several treatments applied to two maize genotypes (one resistant, one susceptible) on the ...

Revisiting the taxonomy and molecular systematics of Sesamia stemborers (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Apameini: Sesamiina): updated classification and comparative evaluation of species delimitation methods [PDF]
Arthropod Systematics & PhylogenyIn 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.

Plant Pathology, Volume 70, Issue 5, Page 1032-1046, June 2021., 2021 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 ...

Combining abilities for maize stem antibiosis, yield loss and yield under infestation and no infestation with pink stem borer [PDF]
, 1999 The pink stem borer (Sesamia nonagrioides Lef.) is the main pest of maize (Zea mays L.) in northwestern Spain. Little is known about combining ability for antibiosis and tolerance to this pest.

The possibility of using artificial oviposition substrates for mass rearing of Sesamia cretica and S. nonagrioides (Lep.: Noctuidae) under laboratory condition [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایرانSuccessful 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 ...
