Restoring a maize root signal that attracts insect-killing nematodes to control a major pest

TL;DR: In rootworm-infested field plots in which nematodes were released, the (E)-β-caryophyllene-emitting plants suffered significantly less root damage and had 60% fewer adult beetles emerge than untransformed, nonemitting lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased survival of western corn rootworm on transgenic corn within three generations of on-plant greenhouse selection

TL;DR: The results suggest that rapid response to selection is possible in the absence of mating with unexposed beetles, emphasizing the importance of effective refuges for resistance management.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence of arrival determines plant-mediated interactions between herbivores

TL;DR: It is proposed that leaf-herbivore-induced increases in feeding-deterrent and/or toxic secondary metabolites may account for the sequence-specific reduction in root-herBivore performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behaviour and ecology of the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte)

TL;DR: The western corn rootworm is a historic pest with a legacy of resistance and behavioural plasticity, and its behaviour and nutritional ecology are important to rootworm management.

PLANT-MEDIATED INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ABOVE- AND BELOW-GROUND COMMUNITIES Sequence of arrival determines plant-mediated interactions between herbivores

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how induction by the leaf herbivore Spodoptera frugiperda influencesresistance of teosinte (Zea mays mexicana) and cultivated maize against root-feeding larvae of Diabrotic avirgifera.
