Abstract BACKGROUND Using plant‐based extracts and their constituents has been suggested as an alternative tool to replace or integrate with the synthetic compounds used manage insect pests. Here, we evaluated potential of obtained from Ficus carica Linn (Moraceae) branches leaves against Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros , one most prevalent pests in soybean fields. We further isolated toxicity extracts' major components E. . Additionally, by using computational docking analysis...

The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors play pivotal roles in the transmission of neuronal information nervous system insects, which has led these proteins to be targeted by synthetic and natural products. Here, we assessed insecticidal potential essential oil Pectis brevipedunculata (Gardner) Sch. Bip., a neotropical Asteraceae plant used traditional medicine, for controlling Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) adults feeding exposure. By using silico approaches, disentangle contribution GABA...

Drosophila suzukii, an invasive insect pest, poses a significant threat to various fruit crops. The use of broad-spectrum insecticides control this pest can reduce the effectiveness biological agents, such as parasitoid Trichopria anastrephae. Here, we evaluated toxicity newly synthesized lactone derivatives on D. suzukii and their selectivity towards T. We used in silico approaches identify potential targets from most promising molecules nervous system understand differences...

Abstract Proteases present in the salivary glands of phytosuccivorous insects are responsible for initial breakdown dietary protein into amino acids necessary insect growth and development. Here, we characterised total proteases trypsin‐like activities Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (F.) used silico biochemical approaches to determine interactions between enzymes soybean Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (SKTI). Additionally, evaluated whether these enzyme were affected individuals...

Abstract In insect‐resistant populations, adaptive fitness is intimately related to the physiological responses of males and females different stressors. By using laboratory‐selected imidacloprid‐resistant individuals Neotropical brown stink bug Euschistus heros , one most prevalent pests in soybean fields region, we evaluated whether resistance imidacloprid (synergized by piperonyl butoxide—PBO) would differentially affect longevity, body mass respiratory E. females. We used an...
