Identification of two Cry3Aa toxin-binding aminopeptidase N from (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

is a quarantine pest that mainly damages plants in tropical regions, which are essential economic resources. Cry3Aa has been used to control coleopteran pests and is known to be toxic to . The binding of the Cry toxin to specific receptors on the target insect plays a crucial role in the toxicological mechanism of Cry toxins.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae).

Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) is a storage pest that feeds mainly on soybean and corn. In this study, we sequenced the entire mitochondrial genome of (GenBank accession number: OM161967). The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 15,696 bp, GC content is 29.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of fluopyram trunk-injection in Pinus massoniana and its efficacy against pine wilt disease.

Background: Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a destructive disease of pine trees caused by the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Fluopyram, a novel nematicide compound with systemic activity, is a prospective trunk-injection agent against pinewood nematodes. The disadvantage of current trunk-injection agents is that they were not evenly distributed in tree tissues and were poor in the persistence of effect and efficiency.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Schaufuss, 1879 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae).

Schaufuss, 1879 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is a common pine pest in Chongqing, Fujian, Yunnan, and other in China. The mitochondrial genome of is 15,759 bp in size. The genome includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs).

Bacillus thuringiensis toxins with nematocidal activity against the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.

The pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and it results in serious ecological and economic losses. Therefore, effective prevention and control methods for the pinewood nematode are urgently required. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a widely used microbial insecticide, produces toxins that are toxic to several species of parasitic nematodes, however, its effects on B.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Chapuis, 1875 (Coleoptera: Scolytinae).

Chapuis, 1875 (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) is a major boring pest of Chinese firs. The length of the complete mitochondria genome of was 17,054 bp with 29.7% GC content, including 30.
