ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

An investigation on resistance of 19 common bean genotypes to two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae), in three regions of Iran [PDF]
Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is one of the important pests of common bean that causes serious damage to agricultural crops. In this study, nineteen common bean genotypes were evaluated for resistance to the two-spotted spider mite ...

ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

Arabidopsis Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitors in Defense Against Spider Mites
Tetranychus urticae (two-spotted spider mite) is a striking example of polyphagy among herbivores with an extreme record of pesticide resistance and one of the most significant pests in agriculture. The T.

Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

Potential climate warming effects on the distribution of an invasive alien pest species
Drosophila suzukii (SWD) has low resistance to heat waves. The incidence of SWD differed between Illyric‐ and Pannonian climate zone. Desert days (frequency) only increased in the Pannonian zone. Abstract Climate warming can be a powerful driver for the establishment and further spread of alien species by lowering the abiotic resistance of native ...

ABSTRACT Global warming is a cause for concern and is predicted to diversely affect agricultural systems. One aspect of the predicted effects is the susceptibility of pests to chemical pesticides. It is therefore crucial to study the reaction of pests to different pesticide compounds under different temperatures in order to better predict how those ...

Structure of Jupiter's High‐Latitude Storms: Folded Filamentary Regions Revealed by Juno
Abstract Sprawling, turbulent cloud formations dominate the meteorology of Jupiter's mid‐to‐high latitudes, known as Folded Filamentary Regions (FFRs). A multi‐wavelength characterization by Juno reveals the spatial distribution, vertical structure, and energetics of the FFRs.
