Main conclusion Understanding surface defenses, a relatively unexplored area in rice can
provide valuable insight into constitutive and induced defenses against herbivores. Abstract …

THE RICE PLANT IS an ideal host for many insect species. All of the plant parts are
vulnerable to insect-feeding from the time of sowing till harvest. There are over 800 insect …

The main factors affecting thrips numbers are considered. These include plant effects, short-
term weather effects, short-term biotic effects, overwintering and pupation, long-term effects …

Nontarget impacts of six transgenic Bt rice lines (expressing the Cry1Ab or Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac
protein) on the thrips, Stenchaetothrips biformis (Bagnall), attacking the rice seedling and …

The costs of parthenogenetic reproduction are more or less unknown in thrips. However,
IPM strategies require an understanding of temporal and spatial life‐history variations and …

Sri Lanka's rice cultivation is a vital industry supporting over 1.8 million cultivators and
providing staple sustenance for 21.8 million people. According to Sri Lanka's Central Bank …

A 2-yr field study was conducted to assess the effects of transgenic japonica rice (KMD1 and
KMD2) with a synthetic cry1Ab gene from Bacillus thuingiensis Berliner on population …

Abstract Rice thrips, Stenchaetothrips biformis (Bagnall, 1913), are one of the destructive
pests of rice. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. biformis was sequenced using …

The objective of this study was to identify the species of thrips associated with rice crops in
order to determine population fluctuation of the dominant species. Studies were conducted …
