Proteomic Variation in the Oral Secretion of Spodoptera exigua and Spodoptera littoralis Larvae in Response to Different food Sources
Abstract
The Spodoptera genus is defined as the pest-rich genus because it contains some of the most destructive lepidopteran crop pests, characterized by a wide host range. During feeding, the caterpillars release small amounts of oral secretio...

Resistance of Pinus pinea to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus explained by the dynamic response of phytohormones, antioxidant activity, and stress-related gene expression
Abstract
The effects of MJ on pine trees are species-specific and trigger a resistant phenotype to the PWN. A more dynamic response of hormones and gene expression in Pinus pinea explains the high resistance to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus of this...
