Abstract Forest productivity usually declines with the increase in age of stand, which may be associated disturbance balance nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrients. However, effects stand on plantation nutrient is still unclear. Therefore, an experiment was conducted this study to investigate influence (6‐, 10‐, 15‐, 25‐, 30‐, 34‐year‐old stands) plant growth dynamics N P Castanopsis hystrix plantations Southern China. The reduced leaf N:P. Moreover, found positively correlated N:P,...

The inoculation methods, the fungal strains, and several other factors are known to influent success of entomopathogens colonization in plants. physiological status plant could also be another determinant. In present study, ability three strains Beauveria bassiana one strain Metarhizium anisopliae successfully colonize Citrus limon plants influence seedling age on endophytic was examined. Three, 4, 6 months old seedlings were inoculated with 10 mL 1 × 108 conidial·mL-1 suspensions each four...

Transgenic crops have been commercially cultivated for nearly three decades, leading to increasing concerns about their environmental safety, particularly effects on non-target organisms. This study investigated the underlying mechanisms behind lack of impact Cry1Ab1 protein Myzus persicae. The showed no significant survival and development M. Compared other Cry protein, fewer Cry1Ab1-binding proteins were identified including beta-actin, ATP synthase subunit alpha, GPN-loop GTPase 2....

Entomopathogenic fungi are commonly applied as inundative sprays to protect plants against insect pests. Their artificial establishment fungal endophytes provide other benefits the host aside mere protection primary pests has also been widely demonstrated. In present study, two strains of Beauveriabassiana and one strain Isaria fumosorosea were assessed in a pathogenicity test adults Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) found induce 50% reduction survival rate D. citri within 5 days...

Acid deposition in China has been declining since the 2000s. While this may help mitigate acidification forest soils and water, little is known about recovery of water from previous severe tropical China. Here, we assessed chemistry mineral soils, acid gases (SO2 NOx) three successional types 2000 to 2022. Our results showed that soil pH increased synchronously 3.9 (2000-2015) 4.2 (2016-2022) across all types, with exchangeable initially decreasing thereafter stabilizing. Surface ground also...

Summary Microbiome analysis in a host–parasitoid interaction network was conducted to compare the taxonomic composition of bacterial communities Diaphornia citri , Tamarixia radiata and Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis . The comparative revealed differences diversity symbiont populations across host its associated parasitoids. Proteobacteria most dominant phylum, representing 67.80% total community, while Candidatus Profftella armature Wolbachia were genera There clear observed alpha beta...

Red imported fire ants mounds have been suggested as a potential reservoir for beneficial entomopathogenic fungal species that are vital more complex roles in the ecosystem aside from infecting insects. In current study, assemblage of symbionts red (RIFA) were obtained across five cities Guangdong Province, China. The sampling areas selected because high occurrence regions. Mound soils, plant debris within mounds, and collected three locations each city isolation associates RIFA. All samples...

Tamarixia radiata Waterson (Hymenoptera: Eulophidea) is the principal natural enemy used for control of major citrus pest Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae). In this study, we collected life-history data T. at four different temperatures (20, 27.5, 30, and 35°C) analyzed them by using age-stage, two-sex life table. The longest preadult developmental time (16.53 d) was observed 20°C, whereas shortest one 7.29 d 35°C. development rate well-fitted to a linear equation. lower...

Climate change raises a serious threat to global entomofauna-the foundation of many ecosystems-by threatening species preservation and the ecosystem services they provide. Already, changes in climate-warming-are causing (i) sharp phenological mismatches among host-parasitoid systems by reducing window host susceptibility, leading early emergence either or its associated parasitoid affecting mismatched species' fitness abundance; (ii) shifting arthropods' expansion range towards higher...

Abstract The parasitism rate and host-feeding of Tamarixia radiata (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), an ectoparasitoid Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae), were evaluated at 20, 27.5, 30, 35°C, 70 ± 5% RH, 14 h photoperiod. biological control efficacy T. was by linking the age-stage predation with two-sex life table. net (C0) 32.05, 54.40, 17.25, 1.92 nymphs per female parasitoid respectively. total killing (Z0) 103.02, 223.82, 72.95, 6.60 Noneffective observed 35°C because high mortality this...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pathogen recognition (PRRs), which play key roles in helping the host immune system fight invasions. Systematic information on TLRs at genome-wide level and expression profiling response to endophytic colonization is very important understand their functions but currently lacking this field. Here, a total of two TLR genes were identified characterized Diaphorina citri. The D. citri clustered into five families according phylogenetic analysis different species'...
