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 ...

Defense mechanisms of maize against pink stem borer [PDF]
The pink stem borer (Sesamia nonagrioides Lef.) is the most important pest of maize (Zea mays L.) in northwestern Spain. The objective of this work was to evaluate defense mechanisms against Sesamia in 10 inbred lines and the 10-parent diallel among ...

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 ...

Defensive changes in maize leaves induced by feeding of Mediterranean corn borer larvae [PDF]
[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 ...

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

Combining abilities for maize stem antibiosis, yield loss and yield under infestation and no infestation with pink stem borer [PDF]
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.
