DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c03244
Abstract: Sitodiplosis mosellana is a major wheat pest that oviposits on spikes, and resistant wheat varieties have been released. However, wheat spike volatiles mediating S. mosellana host selection or resistance are largely unknown. In this study,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.12677
Abstract: Sitodiplosis mosellana, a periodic but devastating wheat pest, relies on wheat spike volatiles as a cue in selecting hosts for oviposition. Insect odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to play essential roles in filtering, binding and… read more here.
