Organ-specific terpenoid responses in Tanacetum vulgare are chemotype-dependent. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Common tansy varieties defend differently: some boost root chemicals against soil pests, while others release stronger leaf scents against aphids. Abstract Specialized metabolites such as terpenoids are known to mediate plant defence mechanisms. However, how terpenoid diversity governs inducible chemistry across organs remains poorly understood.

Identifying wireworms in cereal crops [PDF]
, 2015 Wireworms, the immature stage of the click beetle, are a major best of Pacific Northwest cereal crops. The insect feeds on plants below the surface, causing wilt, stunted growth, or death to young crops.

Olfactory preference in chemical host plant recognition by male and female click beetles and its implications for pest management. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciClick beetle (Elateridae) olfactory preferences for plant volatiles, including those released by damaged plants, remain poorly understood. Olfactometer and electroantennography experiments revealed sex‐ and plant species‐specific olfactory preferences of Agriotes sputator beetles, with maturity influencing female responses.

Preventative insecticides reduce seedling injury, but do not increase yield in Bt and non-Bt corn grown in the mid-Atlantic. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits, neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs), and in‐furrow pyrethroids (IFPs) can control insect pests of corn, but their target spectrum may be redundant and/or mismatch Mid‐Atlantic pest pressure. Across 9 site‐years insecticide treatments reduced pest damage and sometimes increased plant stand, but never improved yield ...

, 2020 Wireworms are the larvae (immatures) of click beetles. Adults are elongate, slender, hardshelled beetles that take their name from their habit of flipping into the air (sometimes with an audible clicking sound) when they are placed on their backs.
