The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is a key challenge to rice production in Asia. Outbreaks of planthoppers are associated with excessive fertilizer applications; consequently, we examined planthopper interactions with susceptible ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the main cereal crop in many Asian countries. The Asian rice planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (brown planthopper), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (white-backed planthopper), and Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén) (small brown

Planthopper-Secreted Salivary Calmodulin Acts as an Effector for Defense Responses in Rice
The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens, BPH) and small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus, SBPH) are major pests of rice (Oryza sativa) in Asia. These piercing-sucking insects secrete saliva into the host during feeding.

Planthopper salivary sheath protein LsSP1 contributes to manipulation of rice plant defenses
Salivary elicitors secreted by herbivorous insects can be perceived by host plants to trigger plant immunity. Here, the authors show that the small brown planthopper salivary sheath protein LsSP1 binds to salivary sheath proteins and contributes to ...

Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs), which belong to pathogenesis-related (PR) protein family 5 (PR5), are involved in the plant host defense and developmental processes. Detailed information regarding the TLP gene family in rice remains elusive.

Viral pathogens are a major threat to stable crop production. Using a backcross strategy, we find that integrating a dominant brown planthopper (BPH) resistance gene Bph3 into a high-yield and BPH-susceptible indica rice variety significantly enhances ...

Levels of genetic polymorphism: marker loci versus quantitative traits [PDF]
Species are the units used to measure ecological diversity and alleles are the units of genetic diversity. Genetic variation within and among species has been documented most extensively using allozyme electrophoresis.

Diversity and transmissibility of RNA viruses in the small brown planthopper, <i>Laodelphax striatellus</i>. [PDF]
ABSTRACT While a considerable number of viruses have been recently discovered in hematophagous insects, there remains insufficient research on virus diversity and their association with phytophagous insect hosts.

Description of the immature stages of the planthopper Lacertinella australis (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) [PDF]
The five immature stages of the planthopper Lacertinella australis(Remes Lenicov and Rossi Batiz) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae: Saccharosydnini) are described and illustrated. The main characters that al-lowed us to distinguish the various
