Evaluating Bottom‐Up Effects of Cruciferous Cultivars to Optimise Mass‐Rearing and Fitness of the Parasitoid Diadegma insulare

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae: Lepidoptera), is one of the major pests of cruciferous vegetables. To control this notorious pest, the caterpillar parasitoid Diadegma insulare (Cresson) (Ichneumonidae: Hymenoptera) is the most used biocontrol agent. Efficient mass‐rearing of D.

Can Soil‐Dwelling Predatory Mites Control the Invasive Thrips Species Thrips parvispinus?

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thrips parvispinus (Karny) has recently become an important invasive thrips in crops world‐wide. It is highly polyphagous and a threat to both ornamental and vegetable crops. Often, new pests are controlled with chemical pesticides, but sustainable options such as biological control are in increasing demand as alternatives.

Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica inducing gene silencing confers control ability against gray mold in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Engineered the plant‐colonizing yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce and deliver double‐stranded RNAs targeting key genes of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea produced a ‘living factory’ that continuously synthesizes and releases gene‐silencing molecules on plant surfaces, effectively suppressing the pathogen.

Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...

Feminist Agroecology and Criollo Hens: Women's Everyday Resistance in Colombia

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial poultry technologies and processes are reshaping the knowledge, practice and agrobiodiversity of criollo (Gallus domesticus) or backyard hen keeping, as well as outcompeting this livelihood in formal markets. This transition undermines women's autonomy and socio‐economic resilience by engendering dependence on market inputs ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Genetic Architecture of Southern Stem Canker Resistance in Elite Southern Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Germplasm

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by the fungus Diaporthe aspalathi, is one of the major constraints to soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production in the southern United States and South America. Genetic resistance is the most effective strategy for managing SSC; however, the genetic architecture underlying resistance in elite southern ...

Resistance to Bemisia tabaci Asia I in Capsicum Reduces Whitefly Performance and Is Associated With Lower Pepper Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (PepYLCV) Disease

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The widespread development of insecticide resistance and stricter regulations on pesticide use highlight the need for natural pest resistance in crops. In pepper, viral diseases such as pepper yellow leaf curl virus (PepYLCV), transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, are a major constraint in tropical regions.
