DOI: 10.1007/s10340-019-01113-9
Abstract: The Bemisia tabaci whitefly was previously considered a single, highly polyphagous species, but is now accepted as a group of cryptic biological species. We investigated the host plant relations of two sister species, the “Mediterranean”… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mbs.2020.108324
Abstract: We study the infestation dynamics of banana or plantain plants by Radopholus similis, a plant-parasitic nematode that causes severe damages. Two control strategies are implemented in our model: pesticides, which are widely used, and fallows,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pbi.2021.102029
Abstract: Expression of insect-targeted RNA interference (RNAi) constructs in transgenic plants is a promising approach for agricultural pest control. Compared to conventional chemical insecticides, RNAi target specificity is high and the potential for negative environmental effects… read more here.

Chemical Identity and Functional Characterization of Semiochemicals That Promote the Interactions between Rice Plant and Rice Major Pest Nilaparvata lugens.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of agricultural and food chemistry"
DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.1c01135
Abstract: The interaction between food crops and insect pests is mediated by semiochemicals emitted from host plants. These semiochemicals are natural behavioral modifiers and act on the insect olfactory system to locate hosts and preys. In… read more here.
