Soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) is one of the main pests on soybeans, which causes serious damage to the soybean worldwide. The current genome of the soybean aphid is quite fragmented, which has impeded scientific research to some extent. In this study, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of the soybean aphid using MGI short reads, PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C reads. The genome sequence was anchored to four pseudo-chromosomes, with a total genome length of 324 Mb and a scaffold N50 length of 88.85 Mb. We evaluated the genome based on insecta_odb10 and the results show it has a completeness of 97.2%. A total of 20,781 protein-coding genes were predicted in the genome, of which 17,183 genes were annotated in at least one protein database. Our work provides a new genomic resource for the soybean aphid study.

Maize yellow mosaic virus (MaYMV) is an emerging polerovirus that was first reported in maize in China in 2013 but has since been reported in Africa and the Americas. Due to its novelty, no antibodies or serological diagnostics for the virus existed prior to the current study. In this study, we developed the first purification method for maize yellow mosaic virus with the goal of generating an antibody and subsequently developing diagnostic tests.

The soybean aphid () is an invasive insect pest that continues to cause large-scale damage to soybean crops in the North Central United States. Recent empirical evidence points to differential fitness in the pestiferous aphid biotypes under abiotic stresses such as flooding. As climate change predicts increased flooding in the North Central United States, mathematical models that incorporate such factors are required to better inform pest management strategies.

Pesticides are widely used around the world and have demonstrated benefits to crop production. However, pesticides have also been associated with negative impacts to nontarget organisms, including pollinators. Here, we combined pesticide usage and toxicity data to create a toxicity index, which shows that pesticide hazard to honeybees (Apis mellifera) has changed substantially in U.

Insect herbivore evolution is tightly linked to changes in their host plants. Many plants have defensive traits that enable them to naturally tolerate and/or deter insect herbivory (host plant resistance; HPR). Some insects have adapted to overcome or resist these defenses (virulence).
