“…We investigated the effects on life table parameters of the midge Chironomus riparius (Diptera: Chironomidae) of SmartStax maize leaves, which contain six different Cry proteins targeting Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests, in two plant backgrounds. For midge development and emergence, 95% confidence intervals for the means of six conventional maize lines (Rheintaler, Tasty Sweet, ES‐Eurojet, Planoxx, EXP 258, and EXP 262), were used to capture the natural range of variation. …”

“…Pyemotes zhonghuajia Yu, Zhang & He (Prostigmata: Pyemotidae), discovered in China, has been demonstrated as a high-efficient natural enemy in controlling many agricultural and forestry pests. This mite injects toxins into the host (eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults), resulting in its paralyzation and then gets nourishment for reproductive development. …”

“…The family Criconematidae is a remarkable group of nematodes, containing roughly 600 nominal root-ectoparasitic species, of which many species are known to be significant agricultural pests. Strikingly, our phylogenetic analyses based on 18S, D2-D3 of 28S rRNA, and COI mtDNA sequences of criconematid species, supported by tree topology tests (SH and AU tests), revealed that almost all studied genera, including Criconema, Ogma, Crossonema, Discocriconema, Hemicriconemoides, Criconemoides, Mesocriconema, and Lobocriconema, are not monophyletic groups, a finding that is partly contrary to those of previous studies on these groups. …”

“…Bruchids (Callosobruchus spp.) are destructive insect pests of pea in the field and during storage. In this study, we identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling seed resistance to C. chinensis (L.) and C. maculatus (Fab.) in field pea using F(2) populations derived from a cross between PWY19 (resistant) and PHM22 (susceptible). …”
