(Nature, 2022-07-06)
When female host feeding parasitoids encounter a potential host, they face a complicated trade-off between either laying an egg for investing in current reproduction or feeding on or killing the host ...
Planting period is the main factor for controlling maize rough dwarf disease
(Nature Research, 2021-01-13)
Maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) is one of the main yield-limiting factors of maize in the Mediterranean. However, knowledge about the interactions between the agroecosystem and the virus–vector–host ...
