AI Article Synopsis
- The complete DNA-A component of Desmodium leaf distortion virus (DeLDV) is 2569 nucleotides long and is closely related to Cotton leaf crumple virus at 76% similarity.
- The DNA-B component measures 2514 nucleotides and shares 60% identity with Potato yellow mosaic Trinidad virus.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates that DeLDV's DNA components belong to different clades, suggesting separate evolutionary paths due to recombination and reassortment.
Article Abstract
The complete DNA-A component sequence of Desmodium leaf distortion virus (DeLDV, Begomovirus) isolated in Yucatan was determined to be 2569 nucleotides (nt) in length, and it was most closely related to Cotton leaf crumple virus-California (CLCrV-[Cal]), at 76%. The complete DNA-B component sequence was 2514 nt in length, and shared its highest nucleotide identity (60%) with Potato yellow mosaic Trinidad virus (PYMTV). Phylogenetic analyses group the DeLDV DNA-A component in the SLCV clade, whereas, the DeLDV DNA-B was grouped with the Abutilon mosaic virus clade, which also contains PYMV, suggesting that the DeLDV components have distinct evolutionary histories, possibly as the result of recombination and reassortment.

Weeds and agro by-products for sustainable farming of edible field cricket, Gryllus madagascarensis (Orthoptera: Gryllidae).
PLoS One

Department of Feed Development, Madagascar Biodiversity Center, Antananarivo, Madagascar.
Gryllus madagascarensis (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) is a cricket species that shows promise to mitigate food insecurity and malnutrition. But whether this species will accept low- to no-cost weeds and agro by-products as feed, and how these feeds affect its performance, remains unknown. This study assessed the acceptability of 66 weed species and agro by-products (derived from a single plant species) by adult G.

Push-pull technology refers to a promising mixed cropping practice for sustainable agricultural intensification, which uses properties of intercrop and border crop species to defend a focal crop against pests. Currently, the most widely practiced system uses spp. as intercrop and Brachiaria or Napier grass as border crops to protect maize () against both insect pests and parasitic weeds.

Unité Mixte de Recherche Physiologie, Environnement et Génétique pour l'Animal et les Systèmes d'Élevage (UMR PEGASE), Institut Agro, National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), 35590 Saint Gilles, France.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects on laying performance, egg quality traits, color, and composition of supplementing a white corn-based diet with leaf flour. Three hundred 32-week-old hens were distributed to 30 pens of 10 hens each and allocated to six dietary treatments (five replicates per treatment) for 13 weeks. Two control groups of 50 hens received one of either diet Y, based on yellow corn, or diet W, based on white corn.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm) poses a threat to crops like corn and sorghum, leading to a search for alternative control methods due to resistance to chemicals and Bt crops.
- The study screened fifty Napier grass germplasms, finding that most had antibiotic effects that reduced FAW consumption and increased mortality rates, with some particularly attracting female moths for oviposition.
- Selected Napier grass and signal grass were effective in managing FAW larvae, and Desmodium uncinatum showed significant toxicity, highlighting their potential roles in integrated pest management strategies in Taiwan.
