DOI: 10.1002/arch.70053
Abstract: Mirid plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae), including Lygus hesperus (western tarnished plant bug), are key pests of numerous agricultural crops. While management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, the evolution of resistance and environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2016.10.008
Abstract: Many strategies for controlling insect pests require an understanding of their hormonal signaling agents, peptides being the largest and most diverse single class of these molecules. Lygus hesperus is a pest species of particular concern,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2020.113708
Abstract: Peptides are the largest and most diverse class of molecules modulating physiology and behavior. Previously, we predicted a peptidome for the western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus, using transcriptomic data produced from whole individuals. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toab067
Abstract: Abstract Although surveys of pest populations documenting evolved insecticide resistance often suggest abundant potential for insecticide control failures, studies documenting the actual occurrence of such failures in commercial agriculture are rare. If farmers currently practice… read more here.

Diapause Termination and Postdiapause in Lygus hesperus (Heteroptera: Miridae).
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of insect science"
DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieaa142
Abstract: The western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus Knight, overwinters as a diapausing adult in response to short day lengths. Once environmental conditions are favorable, the bugs revert to an active reproductive state. To determine the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects12100914
Abstract: Simple Summary Neuropeptides regulate most insect biological functions. One such group of peptides, the pyrokinins (PKs), are distinguished by a C-terminal FXPRLamide. While widely distributed in most insects, they are poorly characterized in plant bugs.… read more here.

RNAi-Mediated Manipulation of Cuticle Coloration Genes in Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Insects"
DOI: 10.3390/insects13110986
Abstract: Simple Summary Insect cuticle coloration results from pigments accumulating in a species-specific pattern. Numerous genes are involved in regulating pigmentation, and their manipulation can be used to create externally visible markers of successful gene editing.… read more here.
