Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum.

Jasmonic acid (JA)-deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis-mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabo...

Variety dependent tomato physiological status and volatile organic compounds signaling modulate Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) larval behavior and performance.

Biochar Improves Plant Vigor and Defense Response to Green Peach Aphid Myzus persicae in Hydroponic Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa )

Biochar (BC) is increasingly recognized as a sustainable agricultural amendment to improve soil health, promote plant growth, and suppress insect pests. While its application has been extensively refined in conventional soil‐based agroecosystems, its performance in hydroponics, particularly in liquid formulations r...
