Pest categorisation of Dendroctonus micans
(Wiley, 2017-07-04)
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the great spruce bark beetle,
Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann), (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), for the EU. D. micans is a
well-defined and distinguishable ...
Pest categorisation of Ips typographus
(Wiley, 2017-07-06)
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle,
Ips typographus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), for the EU. I. typographus is a well-defined
and distinguishable ...
Bioassimilable sulphur provides effective control of Oidium neolycopersici in tomato, enhancing the plant immune system
(Wiley, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Developments of alternatives to the use of chemical pesticides to control pests are focused on the induction
of natural plant defences. The study of new compounds based on liquid bioassimilable sulphur and its ...
Pest risk assessment of Radopholus similis for the EU territory
(EFSA, 2017)
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest risk assessment on Radopholus similis, the burrowing
nematode for the EU. The quantitative assessment focused on entry, establishment, spread and impact
on tropical and subtropical ...
Plant-mediated species networks: the modulating role of herbivore density
(Wiley, 2017-08)
1. When herbivores of distinct feeding guilds, such as phloem feeders and leaf chewers, interact, the outcome of these interactions often shows facilitation. However, whether this facilitation turns into competition at ...
Epigenetic regulation of the expression of WRKY75 transcription factor in response to biotic and abiotic stresses in Solanaceae plants
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
Key message
SlyWRKY75: gene expression was induced in response to biotic stresses, especially in Botrytis cinerea-infected tomato plants, in which Sly-miR1127-3p is a putative SlyWRKY75 regulator and epigenetic marks were ...

(Springer, 2017-10)
Mite diversity of selected citrus orchards in Andalusia (southern Spain) was
studied during 2002–2007. The following species were found: Eutetranychus orientalis,
Tetranychus urticae, Panonychus citri (Tetranychidae), ...
Oxylipin mediated stress response of a miraculin-like protease inhibitor in Hexanoic acid primed eggplant plants infested by Colorado potato beetle
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Insect-plant interactions are governed by a complex equilibrium between the mechanisms through which plant recognize insect attack and orchestrate downstream signaling events that trigger plant defense responses, and the ...
Modulation of Antioxidant Defense System Is Associated with Combined Drought and Heat Stress Tolerance in Citrus
(Frontiers Media, 2017-06)
Drought and high temperatures are two major abiotic stress factors that often occur
simultaneously in nature, affecting negatively crop performance and yield. Moreover,
these environmental challenges induce oxidative ...
When the ground cover brings guests: is Anaphothrips obscurus a friend or a foe for the biological control of Tetranychus urticae in clementines?
(Springer, 2017-10)
Biological control of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), a key pest of clementines, can be improved in this crop with the establishment of a ground cover of Festuca arundinacea Schreber (Poaceae). This cover ...
