Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Whiteflies management

, 2014
“Whiteflies” is the common name of an insect group (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) which has around 1556 described species (Martin & Mound, 2007), although only about thirty species have been mentioned in Spain which are included in the table 1 (Martin et al., 2000). The origin of this group of insects is very varied, as its current spread.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
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.

Prevalence and genetic diversity of endosymbiotic bacteria infecting cassava whiteflies in Africa [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Cassava provides over half of the dietary requirement for more than 200 million poor in Africa. In recent years, cassava has been affected by an epidemic of a virus disease called cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) that is spreading in much ...

Developmental expression of Ap‐Vas proteins in aphids and flies reveals their evolutionary roles in insects

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 217-231, June 2026.
Duplication of vas genes is universally observed in aphids, and phylogenetic analysis indicates that this event predates the divergence of Aphididae and Phylloxeridae. Ap‐vas1 is germline‐specific, whereas Ap‐vas2–4 exhibit somatic expression, indicating functional divergence during aphid embryogenesis.

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Cassava production systems optimized for double output: Seed‐cuttings and root yields

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a strategic crop for food security but continues to face major challenges related to low root yields and the lack of optimized systems for producing high‐quality seed‐cuttings. This study evaluated the effects of different planting densities, varieties, and agrochemical‐based seed‐cutting treatments ...

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...
