AbstractFull Text

RNA interference (RNAi) induces gene silencing in order to participate in immune-related pathways. Previous studies have shown that the LmSerpin1 gene upregulates the immune responses of Locusta migratoria manilensis, and that the infection of locusts with Metarhizium anisopliae can be enhanced...

Abstract

The fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) has recently spread to many countries in Africa, the Near East, Asia and the Pacific. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), more than 300 million people depend on FAW's preferred host plant, maize, as a staple crop. Hence, the spread of FAW in SSA has the...

Abstract

The 3rd instar nymphs of Locusta migratoria manilensis were treated by the commercial biopesticides Metarhizium anisopliae (PD20080671) through body surface inoculation under six different temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40°C). The results showed that the cumulative mortality of locust nymphs...

Abstract

Understanding the progression of host-pathogen interaction through time by hyperspectral features is vital for tracking yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis) development, one of the major diseases of wheat. However, well-designed features are still open issues that impact the performance of relevant...

Abstract

Recent research in Ghana has demonstrated the effectiveness of an isolate of B. bassiana, sensu lato (IMI 389521) from the U.K. against the larger grain borer Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), a major pest of stored maize. To determine whether this isolate is effective on...

Abstract

The larger grain borer (LGB), Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) is a cosmopolitan and major storage pest of maize causing up to 48% dry weight loss. Chemical pesticides are available for the management of this pest but these have potential negative effects on the consumer and the environment if...
