QTL Mapping for Yield and Resistance against Mediterranean Corn Borer in Maize
Introduction: The Mediterranean corn borer (MCB), Sesamia nonagrioides, is a major pest of maize, Zea mays, in Mediterranean countries, inflicting significant kernel yield losses. For that reason, it necessary to know the genetic mechanisms that regulate

The Present and Future Role of Insect-Resistant Genetically Modified Maize in IPM [PDF]
Commercial, genetically-modified (GM) maize was first planted in the United States (USA, 1996) and Canada (1997) but now is grown in 13 countries on a total of over 35 million hectares (\u3e24% of area worldwide). The first GM maize plants produced a Cry

Seasonal variation in species composition and frequency of insecticide resistance alleles (kdr and ace-1r) in the Anopheles gambiae complex from an irrigated rice fields area in Western Burkina Faso [PDF]
Monitoring of the spread of insecticide resistance in field vector populations is a prerequisite for the implementation of efficient and sustainable vector control strategies based on the use of insecticides. Screening for resistance alleles in Anopheles

Colleterial glands of Sesamia nonagrioides as a source of the host-recognition kairomone for the egg parasitoid Telenomus busseolae [PDF]
The maize stemborer Sesamia nonagrioides glues its egg masses under the leaf sheaths or ear bracts using colleterial gland secretion. In spite of such concealed oviposition sites, these eggs are parasitized by Telenomus busseolae.

Fine analysis of a genomic region involved in resistance to Mediterranean corn borer
Background Sesamia nonagrioides Lefebvere (Mediterranean corn borer, MCB) is the main pest of maize in the Mediterranean area. QTL for MCB stalk tunneling and grain yield under high MCB infestation had been located at bin 8.03–8.05 (4–21 cM and 10–30 cM ...
