Insights into tandem dioxygenases—copper radical oxidases in fungal Phytopathogens of the Colletotrichum acutatum species complex

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In Colletotrichum acutatum species complex, conserved ring‐cleavage dioxygenases located adjacent to AA5_2 enzymes were investigated as potential redox partners. Biochemical analyses identified the dioxygenases as intradiol‐cleaving enzymes preferentially oxidizing methyl‐substituted catechols, while AA5_2 enzymes displayed weak alcohol oxidase ...

Predatory Gall Midge (unofficial common name), Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot) (Insecta: Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

open access: yesEDIS, 2004
The predatory gall midge, Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot), is one of the most effective and widespread natural enemies of spider mites (Tetranychidae) (Gagne 1995).

Field Attraction of Natural Enemies to Methyl Salicylate Differs Between Annual and Perennial Cropping Systems

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Spider mite-resistant cotton

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1963
Greater resistance to spider mites is the goal of a breeding program underway with Acala cotton at the U. S. Cotton Research Station, Shaffer. Differences in susceptibility to spider mites, previously observed between genetic cotton types, are being ...

Growth-promoting rhizobacteria amend the defense of strawberry plants against sequentially attacking herbivores

open access: yesScientific Reports
Plant defense systems such as induced resistance (IR; induced by herbivores) and induced systemic resistance (ISR; induced by beneficial rhizobacteria) are modulated by overlapping signaling pathways within plants.

Better Control With More Food: Continuous Provision of Alternative Food Enhances Thrips Control by Predatory Mites

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

Plant responses to spider mite oviposition.

open access: yes, 2022
Plants are sessile organisms permanently exposed to a combination of abiotic and biotic stresses. Therefore, their survival depends on their capacity to adapt to the myriad of events that they face constantly. Among them, arthropod herbivory has a heavy cost on plant biology, and on agricultural systems millions of euros are lost every year due to pest

Becoming Dostoevsky (how Rowan Williams opens up Bakhtin)

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract With the end of Communism in Russia, non‐materialist contexts were enthusiastically restored to Mikhail Bakhtin's globally famous ideas of carnival, dialogism, and polyphony. This essay surveys Rowan Williams's 2008 study Dostoevsky: Language, Faith + Fiction as a major contribution to this effort, concentrating on those general philosophical ...
