Detection of bifenthrin, bifenazate, etoxazole resistance in Tetranychus urticae collected from mint fields and hop yards using targeted sequencing and TaqMan approaches

The paper uses TaqMan qPCR and targeted sequencing to detect miticide resistance mutations in Tetranychus urticae from mint and hop fields, showing the method's accuracy but highlighting challenges in mixed populations.

Multiplex PCR reveals unique trends in pathogen and parasitoid infestations of alfalfa leafcutting brood cells.

The study uses multiplex PCR to identify pathogens and parasitoids in alfalfa leafcutting bee brood cells, revealing co-infections and new species.

Examining historical rates of leafcutting bee cell pathogens to establish baseline infectivity rates for alfalfa seed growers

The paper analyzes historical infection rates of pathogens and parasitoids in alfalfa leafcutting bee cells to establish baseline infectivity rates for managing bee health.

Automatic whole cell organelle segmentation in volumetric electron microscopy

The paper develops an automatic pipeline for segmenting and analyzing organelles in whole cells using FIB-SEM data, enabling quantification of spatial interactions and cross-modality registration.

Candidatus (Ca.) phytoplasma asteris subgroups display distinct disease progression dynamics during the carrot growing season

The paper examines how different subgroups of Aster Yellows phytoplasma progress during the carrot growing season, linking disease dynamics to environmental and agricultural factors.

Conjugated linoleic acid as a novel insecticide targeting the agricultural pest Leptinotarsa decemlineata

This study evaluates conjugated linoleic acid as an insecticide against Colorado potato beetles, finding increased larval mortality and reduced egg viability.

Agricultural fungicides inadvertently influence the fitness of Colorado potato beetles, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, and their susceptibility to insecticides

This study investigates how fungicide exposure affects the insecticide resistance of Colorado potato beetles by examining phenotypic and molecular detoxification responses.
