Lethal and Sublethal Effects of Methoxyfenozide on the Development, Survival and Reproduction on of the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [PDF]
The lethal and sublethal effects of the ecdysone agonist methoxyfenozide on the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), were investigated by feeding a methoxyfenozide-treated diet to fifth instars until pupation in doses corresponding to the ...

Less is More: Treatment with BTH and Laminarin Reduces Herbivore-Induced Volatile Emissions in Maize but Increases Parasitoid Attraction [PDF]
Chemical plant strengtheners find increasing use in agriculture to enhance resistance against pathogens. In an earlier study, it was found that treatment with one such resistance elicitor, BTH (benzo-(1, 2, 3)-thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved RNAs that play a crucial role in the apoptotic process in insects. In this study, the transcriptional regulation of eight apoptotic-related genes (Fas1, Fas2, Caspase 8, Caspase 5, COX1, Apaf1, Dronc and Effector Caspase-1) in Spodoptera littoralis was analyzed.

Strong Attraction of the Parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris Towards Minor Volatile Compounds of Maize [PDF]
Plants infested with herbivorous arthropods emit complex blends of volatile compounds, which are used by several natural enemies as foraging cues. Despite detailed knowledge on the composition and amount of the emitted volatiles in many plant-herbivore ...

Insect oral secretions suppress wound-induced responses in Arabidopsis [PDF]
The induction of plant defences and their subsequent suppression by insects is thought to be an important factor in the evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores.

Differential Attractiveness of Induced Odors Emitted by Eight Maize Varieties for the Parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris: Is Quality or Quantity Important? [PDF]
Herbivore-induced plant volatiles can function as indirect defense signals that attract natural enemies of herbivores. Several parasitoids are known to exploit these plant-provided cues to locate their hosts. One such parasitoid is the generalist Cotesia
