Insect pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) play important roles in transporting hydrophobic pheromone components across the sensillum lymph to the surface of olfactory receptors (ORs). However, the PBPs of the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta, an important destructive pest of stone fruits world...

Migratory insects make diverse adaptive strategies in response to changes in external environment. Temperature has an impact on the survival, development, reproduction, and migration initiation of insects. Previous research has primarily been focused on the effects of constant temperature on populat...

The embryonic cerebral cells (ECC) of pregnant SD rats (17-19 days) were cryopreserved by vitrification. After cryopreservation for 3,10,20,30 and 60 days, the individual ECC samples were separately thawed in 38℃ water bath or by microwave treatment in 300 mL 10℃ water under microwave power of 800W,...

Heatstroke (HS) is a life-threatening condition that is precipitated by heat stress. The coagulation disorder that consequentially develops is termed heatstroke-induced coagulopathy (HIC). HIC typically presents as either hypocoagulopathy or hypercoagulopathy and is a principal complication that con...

In the model of rats with noise stress, the expression of Fos protein in brain was examined by immunohistochemical method during the chronic stress process. The results showed that the peak expression of Fos in paraventricular nucleus (PVN), supraoptic nucleus (SON) and locus coeruleus (LC) of hypot...

The application of deep learning in tree pit detection of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images has problems such as dense distribution, high density, small size, false detections, missed detections, and high localization error. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a small target detectio...

Resistance of five field populations of Mythimna separata (Walker) collected from Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces of China to six different insecticides was evaluated by leaf dip method in the laboratory. The results showed that all populations were relatively sensitive to emamectin benzoate with a res...

With the long-term use of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) insecticide and expansion of Cry1A-expressing transgenic plants, some insect pests have developed resistance to Bt in open fields, greenhouses, and in the laboratory. Bt resistance is complex and there appear to be different ways for resistance d...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule in different physiological processes of plants, including programmed cell death (PCD). PCD of tillers plays an important role in surviving which are major components of grain yield. PCD was triggered in wheat leaves of main stem and tillers by NO content...

To clarify association between armyworm (Mythimna separata) damage level and the corn growth and weed occurrence, we investigated corn plant height, stem diameter and vigor as well as weed coverage and biomass. The investigations were conducted at three locations of Shaanxi Province, China which wer...

Identifying the sex pheromone systems of local pest populations facilitates their management, especially for moth species that show significant geographic variation in sex pheromone communication. We investigated the pheromone production and behavioral responses of the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia fur...
