The quest for the best target genes for RNAi‐mediated pest control

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 505-517, August 2025.
A major challenge for RNAi mediated pest control is the identification of the most effective RNAi target genes from the pool of ~37% of all genes that are essential. Effective RNAi target genes are predominantly highly conserved genes serving basic cellular functions such as protein degradation.

Insecticide resistance management scenarios differ for RNA‐based sprays and traits

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 518-526, August 2025.
dsRNA insecticides are developed as transgenic traits or sprays. IRM for dsRNA traits is based on stacked modes of action and a refuge. IRM for dsRNA sprays is based on rotating dsRNA with different modes of action insecticides. Abstract RNA‐based bioinsecticides that comprise a dsRNA active ingredient and function by RNA interference (RNAi) are being ...

Whole Genome Resequencing Reveals Origins and Global Invasion Pathways of the Japanese Beetle Popillia japonica

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 16, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Invasive species are an increasing global threat given their ability to rapidly spread and adapt to novel environments. The adverse ecological and economic impacts of invasive species highlight the critical need to understand the mechanisms that underpin invasion processes and success.

Diversity and Phylogenetic Analyses of Bacterial Symbionts in Three Whitefly Species from Southeast Europe

open access: yesInsects, 2017
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood), and Siphoninus phillyreae (Haliday) are whitefly species that harm agricultural crops in many regions of the world.

Eco‐evolutionary factors contribute to chemodiversity in aboveground and belowground cucurbit herbivore‐induced plant volatiles

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 847-860, August 2025.
Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles differ between aboveground leaves and belowground roots both within and among plant species in the Cucurbitaceae, and these differences are correlated with plant domestication and herbivore coexistence history, but not phylogenetic relatedness. Abstract When attacked by insect herbivores, plants emit blends of chemical

Small RNAs from Bemisia tabaci are transferred to Solanum lycopersicum phloem during feeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The phloem-feeding whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a serious pest to a broad range of host plants, including many economically important crops such as tomato. These insects serve as a vector for various devastating plant viruses.

Present knowledge of the Entomofauna of the Maltese Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The Maltese Islands' strategic position in the centre of the Mediterranean basin and in between the Siculo Tunisian sill, always encouraged a number of foreign naturalists to visit and study their local entomofauna.

Current Status of Tomato Chlorosis Virus and Whiteflies in Potato Crops of São Paulo State and Virus–Vector–Host Interactions

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1585-1592, August 2025.
ToCV is not widely distributed in potato crops in São Paulo, but its transmission by Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 and MED and its high vertical transmission rate highlight the need for monitoring to mitigate its potential future impact. ABSTRACT Potato is a vital food source worldwide, but its production is frequently threatened by viral diseases.
