The diamondback moth Genome Database (DBM-DB) is a central online repository for storing and integrating genomic data of diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.). It provides comprehensive search tools and downloadable datasets for scientists to study comparative genomics, biological interpretation and gene annotation of this insect pest. DBM-DB contains assembled transcriptome datasets...

Pesticide mixtures can reduce the rate at which insects evolve pesticide resistance. However, with live biopesticides such as the naturally abundant pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a range of additional biological considerations might affect the evolution of resistance. These can include ecological interactions in mixed infections, the different rates of transmission post-application and ...

The widespread application of synthetic chemicals leads to the unintended negative impact non-target organisms both directly or indirectly, as these can infiltrate new environments, disrupting established ecological niches. Laboratory experiments explored effects sublethal doses Cs-O-Arg third instar grubs Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi when fed with treated and untreated larvae diamondback moth ...

the diamondback moth, plutella xylostella (l.) is a serious and economically important pest of cruciferous crops worldwide. the nutritional indices of this pest on four host plants including two canola (slm046 and rgs003) and two cabbage cultivars (green-cornet and glob-master) were determined under laboratory conditions (25 ± 0.5 °c, 65 ± 5% rh and 16: 8 l: d h). the highest relative consumpti...

it has been hypothesized that the survival, development, fecundity and population of insects are affected significantly by high temperatures. the diamondback moth, plutella xylostell (l.) (lepidoptera: plutellidae), is a serious and economically important pest of cruciferous crops throughout the word. in this research, the adult longevity and fecundity of p. xylostella were studied in laborator...

Changing electrical environments can influence the performance of herbivorous insects and adversely affect their control strategies. The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), is a pest that devastates cruciferous vegetables. An age–stage, two-sex life table P. over multiple generations was established to describe effect varying high-voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) exposure on after age...

Cabbage harvest failure is often caused by to control cabbage pests. pest eradicating Plutella xylostella larvae considered less effective because the plant has been damaged due infection with P. eggs and larvae. Thus, target needs be shifted prevent amago from laying (ova-positioning) on plants. This study aims determine anti-ovipositor power of Sesbania sesban leaf extract against xylostella....
