Aedes aegypti Linnaeus is a medically important vector because of its role in transmitting several arboviruses. Trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP), an enzyme from the trehalose pathway, was the focus of this study, which aimed to model it, perform molecular docking and select potential ligands to evaluate their larvicidal and adulticidal activity on the mosquito.

Potatoes, a major economic crop, are significantly impacted by Fusarium dry rot, a prevalent postharvest disease. In Dryopteris fragrans, the research of phloroglucinol derivatives are mainly focused on antibacterial activity, while the inhibitory effects on phytopathogenic fungi have not been reported.

Prolonged application of ACCase-inhibiting herbicides, such as cyhalofop-butyl, has resulted in the widespread emergence of herbicide-resistant Leptochloa chinensis populations in paddy fields. Among the numerous target-site resistance (TSR) mutations in ACCase, the Trp-2027-Cys (W2027C) mutation is one of the most prevalent in L. chinensis. The increasing prevalence of herbicide-resistant L. chinensis highlights the critical need for rapid and precise diagnostic tools to detect resistance mutations.

The Asiatic garden beetle, Maladera formosae, emerged as a significant early season pest of field corn in the Great Lakes region beginning in the mid-2000s. Management tools used broadly for annual white grub species, like seed- and soil-applied insecticides, are ineffective against or have not been evaluated specifically for M. formosae. Biological control, including entomopathogenic nematodes, is successful against M. formosae in turf systems. The goals of this study were to (i) isolate and identify nematode species from agricultural fields in northern Ohio with field histories of M. formosae, and (ii) evaluate their ability to infect M. formosae grubs in greenhouse and field trials.
从 2000 年代中期开始,亚洲园丁甲(Maladera formosae)成为五大湖区大田玉米的重要早期害虫。针对一年生白蛴螬物种广泛使用的管理工具,如种子和土壤施用的杀虫剂,对 M. formosae 没有效果,或没有专门针对 M. formosae 进行过评估。生物防治,包括昆虫病原线虫,在草坪系统中能成功防治甲形蛴螬。本研究的目标是:(i) 从俄亥俄州北部有甲形虫田间历史的农田中分离和鉴定线虫物种;(ii) 在温室和田间试验中评估它们感染甲形虫蛴螬的能力。

Diaphorina citri, a serious pest of citrus, causes significant economic losses due to its role in spreading Huanglongbing. Chemical treatment is the primary method for controlling D. citri. In recent years, D. citri has demonstrated varying resistance levels to a number of pesticides. Combination bioassay and amplicon sequencing approaches can provide a more accurate assessment of resistance in D. citri.

Ensuring food security is fundamental to national security and an important guarantee for global peace and development. The use of fungicides represents an effective strategy in safeguarding sufficient food supply against phytopathogenic fungi; however, given the escalating pathogen resistance, there is an urgent need to develop new, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly green fungicides.
