The c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway of a vector insect is activated by virus capsid protein and promotes viral replication

eLife, 2017
No evidence has shown whether insect-borne viruses manipulate the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway of vector insects. Using a system comprising the plant virus Rice stripe virus (RSV) and its vector insect, the small brown planthopper, we ...

An Auto‐Activated NLR‐Protein OsRGA3D605V Confers Rice Triple Resistance and Deactivates Resistance After Phosphorylation by OsILA1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2126-2142, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The incidence of pests and diseases seriously impacts rice production, and NLR genes play a crucial role in the regulation of immune signalling in rice. Here, we identified an NLR gene OsRGA3 that positively regulates rice resistance to brown planthopper (BPH) and rice blast disease (RBD).

Species identification of bacterial communities in the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, 2022
AbstractMicrobes are prevalent and abundant in diverse insects. Many microbes are known to influence host fitness. The small brown planthoppers Laodelphax striatellus Fallen is a notorious plant sap‐feeding pest causing heavy loss to rice yield. Some L. striatellus‐associated microbes have been surveyed partially.

The Microtubule‐Associated Protein CsTON2 Interacts With CsTRM5 and CsSUN to Regulate Fruit Shape Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2725-2741, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fruit shape is an important external quality trait that directly determines the market value. Modification of fruit shape has emerged as a key focus in crop improvement, but the regulatory network of fruit shape specifications remains largely unknown.

Insecticide susceptibility of the small brown planthopper selected with buprofezin and etofenprox.

Kyushu Plant Protection Research, 1990
The changes in insecticide susceptibility of the small brown planthopper (SBPH) selected with etofenprox and buprofezin were studied.The LD 50 value to etofenprox of SBPH selected with etofenprox was 6.7 times as large as that of the parent colony. The LD 50values to organophosphates and carbamates of the etofenprox-selected colony did not differ from ...

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.

Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant Cataglyphis niger

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...
