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.

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 ...

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 ...

Comparative analysis of hemolymph proteome maps in diapausing and non-diapausing larvae of Sesamia nonagrioides. [PDF]
Proteome Sci, 2012 AbstractBackgroundSesamia nonagrioidesis a noctuid that feeds on maize, sugar cane and sorghum in North Africa and Southern Europe. Larvae reared under long day conditions pupate after 5 or 6 larval instars, whereas larvae reared under short day conditions enter diapause and undergo up to 12 molts before dying or pupating.

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 ...

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 ...

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 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 ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 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]
PLoS ONE, 2016 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

Effects of selection for resistance to Sesamia nonagrioides on maize yield, performance and stability under infestation with Sesamia nonagrioides and Ostrinia nubilalis in Spain [PDF]
Annals of Applied Biology, 2010 A maize synthetic population was improved for resistance to the Mediterranean corn borer (MCB, Sesamia nonagrioides) while maintaining yield. The objectives of this research were to investigate whether yield and yield stability of the maize synthetic population named EPS12 were affected by selection for MCB resistance; also to determine which genotypic
