    • RNAi Expression in Cotton for Control of Herbivorous Insects 

      Salvador, Ricardo; Maskin, Laura; Niz, José María; Turica, Mariana Daniela; Pedarros, Analía Soledad; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Lewi, Dalia Marcela (Springer, 2022)
      Cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is heavily attacked by various species of insects worldwide and breeding of new varieties resistant to pests is still a hard battle to win. RNAi technology is an important reverse ...

    • Susceptibility of agricultural pests of regional importance in South America to a Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ia protein 

      Berretta, Marcelo Facundo; Pedarros, Analía Soledad; Sauka, Diego Hernan; Perez, Melisa Paula; Onco, Maria Ines; Benintende, Graciela Beatriz (Elsevier, 2020-05)
      Bacillus thuringiensis toxins of the Cry1I class have dual specificity for insects in the orders Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. We assessed the toxicity of a Cry1Ia protein from an Argentinian B. thuringiensis strain against ...

    • The pest kill rate of thirteen natural enemies as aggregate evaluation criterion of their biological control potential of Tuta absoluta 

      van Lenteren, Joop C.; Lanzoni, Alberto; Hemerik, Lia; Bueno, Vanda H.P.; Bajonero Cuervo, Johanna G.; Biondi, Antonio; Burgio, Giovanni; Calvo, Francisco J.; de Jong, Peter W.; Lopez, Silvia Noemi; Luna, María Gabriela; Montes, Flavio C.; Nieves, Eliana L.; Aigbedion‑Atalor, Pascal Osa; Riquelme Virgala, Maria B.; Sánchez, Norma E.; Urbaneja, Alberto (Springer, 2021-05-24)
      Ecologists study how populations are regulated, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce numbers of harmful organisms: an organism (a natural enemy) is used to reduce ...

    • Transcriptomic Survey of the Midgut of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) 

      Salvador, Ricardo; Perez Principi, Ricardo Dario; Berretta, Marcelo Facundo; Fernandez, Paula Del Carmen; Paniego, Norma Beatriz; Sciocco, Alicia Ines; Hopp, Horacio Esteban (Entomological Society of America, 2014-11)
      Anthonomus grandis Boheman is a key pest in cotton crops in the New World. Its larval stage develops within the flower bud using it as food and as protection against its predators. This behavior limits the effectiveness ...

    • Utilización regional de baculovirus en el control de plagas hortícolas
