Microinjection‐enabled gene silencing in first instar larvae of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, reveals vital genes for larval survival

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1969-1981, December 2025.
This study introduces a microinjection technique to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips (L1s) via the foreleg coxa, enhancing survival rates by minimizing internal tissue damage. Significant knockdown of V‐ATPase‐B, CYP3653A2, and ApoLp‐II/I was achieved, with silencing of CYP3653A2 or ApoLp‐II/I increasing larval mortality ...

The loss of the urea cycle and ornithine metabolism in different insect orders: An omics approach

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 632-644, October 2025.
Among urea cycle enzymes, only the nitric oxide synthase gene is universally present across insect genomes. All Hemiptera species lack the enzymes needed to convert citrulline to arginine, and some also lack the pathway from arginine to ornithine. Putrescine and spermidine synthesis is conserved in all insects, but aphids lack the capability to produce

DNA Barcode Analysis of Thrips (Thysanoptera) Diversity in Pakistan Reveals Cryptic Species Complexes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Although thrips are globally important crop pests and vectors of viral disease, species identifications are difficult because of their small size and inconspicuous morphological differences.

Genistein induced by Frankliniella occidentalis feeding confers resistance to insect herbivores in peanut

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
The Tianfu 22 (TF22) variety was identified as resistant to thrips based on field screening carried out over two consecutive years. Metabolomic profiling showed that thrip‐infested TF22 leaves exhibited differentially accumulated metabolites, particularly enriched in phenylpropanoid and secondary metabolite biosynthesis.

Positive Selection Drives Mitochondrial Gene Rearrangement in Sternorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We have constructed the largest mitochondrial dataset for Sternorrhyncha to establish phylogenetic relationships. The mitochondrial genes of Coccoidea and Aleyrodoidea exhibit a notable prevalence of translocation and a high proportion of positive selection pressures.

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in performance of thrips on Chrysanthemum accessions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 674-683, July 2025.
Fitness of pests on host plants can differ between populations and species. Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was collected at five locations in the Netherlands, and their genetic diversity was characterized, revealing the presence of both the glasshouse and lupin strain.

Functional Divergence of Plant‐Derived Thaumatin‐Like Protein Genes in Two Closely Related Whitefly Species

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 16, April 24, 2025.
Two closely related whitefly species, Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisia tabaci, are found to each possess a plant‐derived TLP gene, but with entirely different functions. This finding of functional divergence challenges the notion that HGT genes maintain similar functions across species and shows that they can follow unique evolutionary paths that ...

Commodity risk assessment of Prunus spp. plants from United Kingdom

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by: grafted potted plants up to 15 years old or ...

Global Invasion of Thrips parvispinus (Karny) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Across Three Continents Associated With Its One Haplotype

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 2, Page 237-247, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Thrips parvispinus (Karny) is an exotic pest that has invaded many regions around the world in the last three decades. It was first detected in Florida in 2020 on ornamental plants (Hoya and Anthurium) in greenhouses and subsequently on ornamental plants in residential landscapes (Gardenia) in 2021.
