Unlabelled: The effects of sucking insect-pests on the morpho-physiological and biochemical changes in the leaves of four cotton genotypes-Bio 100 BG-II and GCH-3 (highly tolerant); KDCHH-9810 BG-II and HS-6 (highly susceptible)-were examined. Compared to tolerant genotypes, susceptible genotypes showed a decrease in relative water content, specific leaf weight, leaf area, photosynthetic rate, and total chlorophyll content, with an increase in electrolyte leakage. Hydrogen peroxide and total soluble sugar content were higher in susceptible plants. In contrast, resistant plants had higher levels of total soluble protein, total phenolic content, gossypol content, tannin content, peroxidase activity, and polyphenol oxidase. The findings demonstrated that the Bio 100 BG-II and GCH-3 genotypes effectively offset the impact of sucking insect-pests by modifying the factors mentioned above. The KDCHH-9810 BG-II and HS-6 genotypes could not completely negate the effects of sucking insect-pests. Customized metabolites and total soluble protein are more efficient in protecting cotton plants from damage brought on by infestations of sucking insects and pests.

Neonicotinoids are one of the most widely used classes of insecticides in agriculture. They are systemic insecticides mainly used as seed treatments to manage sucking insect pests in a wide range of field crops. Environment and growing conditions can impact the efficacy of neonicotinoid seed treatments.

Aphids are small, notorious insect pests that negatively impact plant health and agricultural productivity through direct damage, such as sap-sucking, and indirectly as vectors of plant viruses. Plants respond to aphid feeding with a variety of molecular mechanisms to mitigate damage. These responses are diverse and highly dynamic, functioning either independently or in combination.

Flonicamid is a selective insecticide effective against piercing-sucking insects. Although its molecular target has been identified in other species, the specific effects and detailed mechanism of action in Kuwayama remain poorly understood. In this study, we determined that the LC of flonicamid for adults was 16.

Article Synopsis
- Etofenprox is a low-toxicity pyrethroid insecticide used for controlling pest insects like the brown planthopper (BPH) in rice fields, affecting their nervous system.
- The application of etofenprox reduces the expression of several salivary protein genes in BPH, which are crucial for their feeding processes, with nine genes showing significant changes.
- Notably, silencing a specific gene (Nl12) disrupts ovary development and oocyte formation, highlighting how etofenprox impacts the reproductive abilities of BPH possibly through its effects on both the salivary glands and ovaries.
