Whitefly-tolerant transgenic common bean () line.

Common bean ( L.) is a staple food in Brazil with both nutritional and socioeconomic importance. As an orphan crop, it has not received as much research attention as the commodity crops.

Characterization of Nanospheres Containing Fruit Essential Oil and Their Insecticidal and Deterrent Activities against (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae).

The aim of our study was to produce and characterize poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanospheres containing essential oils from fruit and to evaluate their stability gains as well as their insecticidal and deterrent activities against whitefly (). The PCL nanospheres exhibited a homogeneous spherical morphology, with particle diameters between 106.7 nm and 129.
