The insect antifeedant and toxic activity of hydroxyperezone (1), its derivatives 2-9, along with 3-hydroxy- (10) and 6-hydroxythymoquinone (11) were studied against Spodoptera littoralis, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and Myzus persicae. The antifeedant tests showed that L. decemlineata was the most sensitive insect, followed by M. persicae, while S. littoralis was not deterred by compounds 1-11....

Response to the alarm pheromone, (E)-beta-farnesene, produced by many species of aphids, was assessed in laboratory bioassays using an aphid pest, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), and its primary endoparasitoid, Diaeretiella rapae (McIntosh). This was done in three separate studies, the first investigating responses of a large number of M. persicae clones carrying different combinations of metabolic (c...

Presentation attack against biometric authentication systems is getting attention by many researchers since the seminal paper[4]. In this paper, we consider a new kind of presentation attack called wolf attack. Wolf attack does not require biometric feature from a victim which the other presentation attacks does but synthesizes biometric feature from scratch by analyzing vulnerability in biomet...

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...

ABSTRACT Peaches and nectarines are frequently attacked by the green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer), with significant negative impacts on fruit production. The genetic variability of resistance to this aphid among commercial cultivars of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch and Prunus persica variety nectarina was evaluated in this study. In total, 16 cultivars of P. persica were selected to evaluat...

BACKGROUND The pathological change of kidney in diabetic nephropathy is represented hypertrophy, inflammation, and renal fibrosis. Oryeongsan, traditional oriental herbal formula, is widely used for the treatment of nephrosis, dropsy, and uremia. This study was examined whether Oryeongsan attenuate high-glucose (HG)-promoted rat mesangial cell fibrosis and matrix accumulation, major features of...
