Mixed insect pest populations of Diaspididae species under control of oligonucleotide insecticides: 3'-end nucleotide matters.

Diaspididae are one of the most serious small herbivorous insects with piercing-sucking mouth parts and are major economic pests as they attack and destroy perennial ornamentals and food crops. Chemical control is the primary management approach for armored scale infestation. However, chemical insecticides do not possess selectivity in action and not always effective enough for the control of armored scale insects.

Maskell (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae) Control Using Low Carbon Footprint Oligonucleotide Insecticides.

Climate change creates favourable conditions for the growth of insect populations. Today, the world is seeing an increase in the number of insect pest infestations associated with a long-term increase in the average temperature of climatic systems. For example, local invasions of Maskell, a citrus pest recognized worldwide, have increased in size and number in recent years.

Genetic Diversity of Common Olive ( L.) Cultivars from Nikita Botanical Gardens Collection Revealed Using RAD-Seq Method.

In different countries, interest in the commercial cultivation of the olive has recently greatly increased, which has led to the expansion of its range. The Crimean Peninsula is the northern limit of the common olive ( L.) range.

Oligonucleotide Insecticides for Green Agriculture: Regulatory Role of Contact DNA in Plant-Insect Interactions.

Insects vastly outnumber us in terms of species and total biomass, and are among the most efficient and voracious consumers of plants on the planet. As a result, to preserve crops, one of the primary tasks in agriculture has always been the need to control and reduce the number of insect pests. The current use of chemical insecticides leads to the accumulation of xenobiotics in ecosystems and a decreased number of species in those ecosystems, including insects.

A de novo genome assembly of cultivated Prunus persica cv. 'Sovetskiy'.

Prunus persica is one of the main stone fruit crops in Crimea and southern Russia. The P. persica genome has recently been sequenced and annotated in good quality.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of cultivated cv. 'Sovetskiy'.

The peach ( L. Batsch) is one of the important stone fruit crops in the Crimea Peninsula and the southern part of Russia. The complete chloroplast genome of the peach cultivar 'Sovetskiy' is published in this paper.
