Experimental Disentangling of the Effects of Initial Population Size and Resource Availability on Weevil Population Dynamics

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1278-1284, December 2025.
Initial population size and resource availability are key factors regulating population dynamics, with growth rates typically declining as populations increase but rising with greater resources. In maize weevils, however, we found an unexpected negative effect of resource availability on intrinsic growth rates, contrary to conventional expectations. We

Modulation of Aleurone Peroxidases in Kernels of Insect-Resistant Maize (Zea mays L.; Pob84-C3R) After Mechanical and Insect Damage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Peroxidases (PODs) have many biological functions during the plant life cycle. In maize kernels, endosperm PODs have been identified as biochemical contributors to resistance against Sitophilus zeamais, but their identities have not been determined.
