Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Due to their strong oxidizing potential, rapid membrane permeability, and high reactivity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in plant development and stress responses. Superoxide (O2•‐) is a primary product of molecular oxygen reduction and a crucial source of hydrogen peroxide, representing a ROS species of substantial ...

, 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.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1656-1667, February 2026.Cotton varieties resistant to Thrips tabaci exhibit lower soluble sugar and free amino acid levels, with smaller post‐infestation increases in these nutrients, resulting in reduced feeding rates and lighter damage. Key resistance evaluation indices include: damage severity, soluble sugars, free amino acids, soluble proteins, superoxide dismutase ...

Plant diversification impact on the oviposition response of a predatory bug in a laboratory set‐up
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 128-134, February 2026.Orius majusculus laid nearly twice as many eggs in cages with two different crop species compared with a single species. Depending on crop species, O. majusculus utilised different plant structures for oviposition. Crop diversification supports reproduction, and thus, is likely to have a positive effect on O.

RESULTS OF THE THREE-YEAR MONITORING (2001.-2003.) OF TOBACCO WHITEFLY Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889), (HOMOPTERA: ALEYRODIDAE) IN CROATIA [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2004 The quarantine pest tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) was for the first time found in Croatia in 2000 on some culture and weed plants in greenhouses and in the open field in the area from Trogir to Omiš.

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

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Trap cropping is a pest management strategy where a grower plants an attractive “trap crop” alongside the primary crop to divert pests away from it. We propose a simple framework for optimizing the proportion of a grower's field or greenhouse allocated to a main crop and a trap crop to maximize agricultural yield.

PLoS ONE, 2019 Horticulturalists and gardeners in temperate regions often claim that planting marigolds next to tomato plants protects the tomatoes from the glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood). If shown to hold true, this technique could be used in
