Relative gene expression analysis through RT-qPCR is an important molecular technique that helps understanding different mechanisms, such as the plant defense response to insect pests. However, use of for can be affected by factors directly affect reliability results. Among these factors, appropriate choice reference genes crucial and strongly impact relative analyses, highlighting importance in correctly choosing most suitable success analysis. Thus, this study aimed select validate studies...
Abstract BACKGROUND The significance of morphological responses hosts on susceptibility against gall‐inducing insects is relatively unknown, especially in planted forests. Here, we investigate the temporal (gall development) induced by invasive gall wasp Leptocybe invasa and subsequent insect development two Eucalyptus clones. RESULTS Our results identified a novel stage development, not previously reported, termed here ‘brownish ring’. In both similar stages were observed. Although L....
Understanding the interplay among organophosphorus flame-retardants (OPFRs), microplastics, and freshwater organisms is crucial for unravelling dynamics within environments foreseeing potential impacts of organic pollutants plastic contamination. For that purpose, present research assessed exposure impact 10 mg L–1 flame-retardant alumin-ium diethylphosphinate (ALPI), μg mg–1liver microplastics polyurethane (PU), combina-tion ALPI PU on planarian Girardia tigrina....
The galling insect Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a major limiting factor in the cultivation of drought-tolerant eucalyptus. L. pest eucalyptus plantations, and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) being investigated as potential biocontrol agent against this pest. fungus B. can produce metabolites that affect biology survival. Here, we ability entomopathogenic to endophytically develop induce resistance hybrid. In greenhouse under...

Abstract BACKGROUND Here, we investigated changes in primary metabolism and cell death around oviposition sites two hybrid clones of Eucalyptus with different degrees resistance to Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), as well tolerance water deficiency. RESULTS We showed that apices the resistant clone had a higher content amino acids, organic acids compound putrescine compared those susceptible oviposition. By contrast, lower sugar pyruvate acid than Small areas...
Eucalyptus cultivation in arid regions is limited by the losses caused galling wasp, Leptocybe invasa Fisher and La Salle, 2004 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae); it oviposits below epidermis of central veins, mainly on seedlings nurseries and/or young plants field, causing galls where insects develop. Galls modify normal circulation sap vascular tissues, ultimately affecting development infested resulting slower growth. genotypes tolerant to water stress are susceptible L. invasa, this pest has no...
