Anthocyanins and flavonols are secondary metabolites that can function in plant defence against herbivores. In Arabidopsis thaliana, anthocyanin and flavonol biosynthesis are regulated by MYB transcription factors. Overexpression of MYB75 (oxMYB75) in Arabidopsis results in increasing anthocyanin and flavonol levels which enhances plant resistance to generalist caterpillars. However, how these ...

Use of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) as a trap crop for management of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), and leafwebber, Crocidolomia binotalis Zeller, was tried on an experimental farm and farmers’ fields. Preliminary studies indicated that planting of 15 cabbage rows followed by paired mustard rows to manage both pests was useful. The first mustard row is sown 15 days ...

Functional response and mutual interference are the most important behavioural characteristics that reveal different aspects of host–parasitoid interactions. In this study, functional response and mutual interference of the parasitoid wasp, Diaeretiella rapae (M’Intosh) attacking the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus) were investigated. Logistic regression was used to distinguish t...

Abstract The negative impact of pests on world agriculture is estimated at 1.4 trillion dollars, which 5% the global gross domestic product. In order to save crops lost due agricultural in world, it urgent importance develop effective and fundamentally based control measures against them. this research, main studied were Aphis craccovora Koch; gossypii Glow; Brevicoryne brassicae, Lysiphlebus f...

La supresión de moléculas ácido ribonucleico mensajero (ARNm) mediante ARN interferente (ARNi) se ha propuesto como método control insectos plagas. El ARNi impide el desarrollo morfológico y funcional los considera altamente específico. En este estudio buscaron receptores insulina (InR) en Brevicoryne brassicae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) a partir del ARNm pulgones, primer paso para diseño poster...
