Rice (Oryza sativa) is both a vital source of food and a key model cereal for genomic
research. Insect pests are major factors constraining rice production. Here, we provide an …

Brown planthopper (BPH) is a destructive insect pest of rice in Asia. Identification and the
incorporation of new BPH resistance genes into modern rice cultivars are important …

Among the planthoppers of rice, the brown planthopper (BPH) is a major threat to rice

The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål; BPH) is a specialist herbivore on rice
(Oryza sativa) that ingests phloem sap from the plant through its stylet mouthparts. Electronic …

Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice. Wild species of
rice are a valuable source of resistance genes for developing resistant cultivars. A molecular …

Seed germination and innate immunity both have significant effects on plant life spans
because they control the plant's entry into the ecosystem and provide defenses against …

Individual variation in ecologically important features of organisms is a crucial element in
