Kiwifruit Bacterial Canker Susceptibility of 86 Accessions and Their Physiological Response to Psa Inoculation

Kiwifruit bacterial canker, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), severely restricts the sustainable development of the kiwifruit industry. Screening stable resistant germplasm and establishing efficient disease resistance evaluation methods are core prerequisites...

Spinetoram‐based seed‐pelleting with synergistic mixtures enhances control of the diamondback moth

BACKGROUND: The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, is one of the most destructive pests of cruciferous crops worldwide. Its high fecundity, stress tolerance and seasonal migration often render traditional spray control ineffective. In this study, we propose an alternative met...

Attractancy Potentialof Terpinen-4-ol against Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) and Its SynergisticAttractant Effects Evaluation

Abstract Bactrocera dorsalis is a major fruit and vegetable pest with limited effective attractants. Our previous work identified Melaleuca quinquenervia essential oil (MQEO) as a strong attractant. Guided by an olfactory transcriptome- and molecular docking-informed screening st...

Establishing a Semen Cryobank for Yan Goose: Optimized Collection and Cryopreservation

Yan goose, a representative Chinese local breed, requires genetic resource conservation. To address this, we optimized a semen cryopreservation protocol for Yan geese and validated its feasibility in large-scale cryobank production. Using motility of frozen-thawed sperm (MFS) as...
