Efficacy of Acetamiprid 2% Granule against Green Peach Aphid on Cabbage by Various Soil Application Methods

Evaluation of Admire Soil Treatments on Colonization of Green Peach Aphid and Marketability of Lettuce

Admire (imidacloprid), applied as a soil treatment, protected lettuce plants from developing infestations of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), for 60 -100 d after planting based on two small plot and two commercial field trials. Admire applied 7.6 an sub -seed furrow provided longer and more consistent protection from green peach aphid than treatments applied to the soil surface, as a...

Evaluation of soil-applied systemic insecticides against cabbage aphid,brevicoryne brassicae and resultant survival of the primary parasitoid diaeretiella rapae on cabbage

Discrimination of Arabidopsis PAD4 activities in defense against green peach aphid and pathogens.

The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) lipase-like protein PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT4 (PAD4) is essential for defense against green peach aphid (GPA; Myzus persicae) and the pathogens Pseudomonas syringae and Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis. In basal resistance to virulent strains of P. syringae and H. arabidopsidis, PAD4 functions together with its interacting partner ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILIT...

Gene expression during imidacloprid-induced hormesis in green peach aphid.

Imidacloprid-induced hormesis in the form of stimulated reproduction has previously been reported in green peach aphid, Myzus persicae. Changes in gene expression accompanying this hormetic response have not been previously investigated. In this study, expression of stress response (Hsp60), dispersal (OSD, TOL and ANT), and developmental (FPPS I) genes were examined for two generations during i...

Disruption of Ethylene Responses by Turnip mosaic virus Mediates Suppression of Plant Defense against the Green Peach Aphid Vector.

Plants employ diverse responses mediated by phytohormones to defend themselves against pathogens and herbivores. Adapted pathogens and herbivores often manipulate these responses to their benefit. Previously, we demonstrated that Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) infection suppresses callose deposition, an important plant defense induced in response to feeding by its aphid vector, the green peach aphi...
