Tea plant ( Camellia sinensis ) is one of the most important horticultural cash crops, and tea green leafhopper ( Matsumurasca onukii ) is an extremely harmful sap-sucking pest of tea plant. Serious generation overlapping, which is mainly caused by the long oviposition period, leads to poor control effect of pesticides on this pest in the tea plant...

... plant (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most important horticultural cash crops in almost 30 countries. Tea green leafhopper (Matsumurasca onukii (Mstauda, 1952)) is an extremely harmful sap-sucking pest of tea plant, usually has ten generations per year and overwinters as an adult [21][22][23] (S1 Fig). The generations of M. onukii in tea plantation are extremely overlapped, which mainly attribute to the long oviposition period, thus the control effect of chemicals on M. onukii is not as effective as expected [21]. ...

... oviposition behavior of tea leafhopper female was investigated using a self-designed insect behavior video monitor (Fig 1). During this study, a single M. onukii gravid female (with 8 d successive copulation experience) was placed into a transparent observation device (high transparency PET mylar, 2×2×6 cm, Fig 1B and 1C), supplemented with a tender tea shoot without leaves. ...

... the development of oocytes in the ovary of Caribbean fruit fly (Anastrepha suspensa) and melon fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae) are asynchronous, of which oocytes in the ovary matured gradually and laid successively [32,33]. Similar to this, we found that the oocytes in the ovary of M. onukii females matured gradually and were laid out singly in different batches (Fig 3; S1 Fig). The asynchronous development of oocytes among different ovarioles became conspicuous when the ovaries were at stages III, IV (Fig 3A). ...

As an important fruit pest of global significance, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) has the special ecological niche with high sugar and low protein, which is different from other Drosophila species in fruits. Gut bacteria have a substantial impact on insect physiology and ecology. However, the contribution of gut microbes to host fitness to sp...

To reduce the losses, cost of production and increase the profit at producer level, International Center for Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) had developed and disseminated Integrated Pest Management strategy for suppre...
The intricate relationship between herbivorous insects and plants has evolved over millions of years, central to this dynamic interaction are salivary proteins (SPs), which mediate key processes ranging from nutrient acquisition to plant defense manipulation. SPs, sourced from salivary glands, intestinal regurgitation or acquired through horizontal...
Neonicotinoid insecticides, the fastest-growing class in recent decades, interfere with cholinergic neurotransmission by binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. This disruption affects both targeted and non-targeted insects, impairing cognitive functions such as olfaction and related behaviors, with a particular emphasis on olfactory memor...
Biological control for sustainable plant protection in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is gaining attention due to low crop productivity caused by pests, increasing costs of agrochemicals, and their harmful impact on health and the environment. A valuable case is the Push–pull technology (PPT) developed by the International Centre of Insect Physiology and...
