Transfer, subsequent movement, and fate of sperm in the tobacco hornworm moth, Manduca sexta

open access: yesPhysiological entomology (Print), 2021
During mating in the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), sperm are passed to the female via a copulation in which the male transfers a large and often complex spermatophore over the major part of an hour or more. Subsequently, over the course of an hour

A Parasitoid Wasp Cotesia congregata (Say) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEDIS, 2014
This species of Cotesia has been widely used as a model system in insect physiology. It has also been used to examine insect learning in host-parasitoid-plant interactions.

Population differentiation and structural variation in the Manduca sexta genome across the United States

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
Many species that are extensively studied in the laboratory are less well characterized in their natural habitat, and laboratory strains represent only a small fraction of the variation in a species’ genome.

High-throughput screening of caterpillars as a platform to study host–microbe interactions and enteric immunity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Here, combining diagnostic imaging modalities and in vivo assays, Windfelder and colleagues established tobacco hornworm larvae Manduca sexta as an alternative high-throughput platform to study the innate immunity of the gut and host-pathogen ...

Characterizing rhizosphere microbial communities associated with tolerance to aboveground herbivory in wild and domesticated tomatoes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Root-associated microbial communities are well known for their ability to prime and augment plant defenses that reduce herbivore survival or alter behavior (i.e., resistance).

Control of Tobacco Hornworms with Foliar Insecticides 1997A [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 1998
Abstract The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the efficacy of foliar applications of Orthene 75 SP, Tracer 4 SC, and Dipel 2X against tobacco hornworms in the field. Plots were established at the Central Crops Research Station, Clayton, NC, on 9 May in a field with a Norfolk loamy sand soil. Individual plots were 4 rows (1.14

Budworm and Hornworm Control in Tobacco, 1991 [PDF]

open access: yesInsecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1992
Abstract Flue-cured tobacco, 'CV K-326", was transplanted on 28 Mar at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, GA. Production practices were used according to Georgia Cooperative Extension Service guidelines. A pre-plant incorporated tank mix of the following was applied: Tillam and Devrinol for weed control, Ridomil for blue ...

Non-target Effects of Hyperthermostable α-Amylase Transgenic Nicotiana tabacum in the Laboratory and the Field

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Thermostable α-amylases are important enzymes used in many industrial processes. The expression of recombinant Pyrococcus furiosus α-amylase (PFA) in Nicotiana tabacum has led to the accumulation of high levels of recombinant protein in transgenic plants.
