Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of two isolates of Beauveria bassiana against the tea mosquito bug in West Bengal, India. It was found that BKN20 was more pathogenic than BKN1/14, significantly reducing damage to tea shoots without harming non-target insects or tea leaves. BKN20 could be commercialized as an alternative microbial insecticide for reducing chemical insecticide use in the tea ecosystem.

Summary: Tea Mosquito Bug, Helopeltis antonii Signoret is an emerging pest of guava causing severe qualitative yield loss. Two field trials were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of bio-rationals against this pest, with Lecanicililum lecanii and Metarhizium anisopliae showing the highest reduction in bug population. Azadirachtin, NSKE, and pungam oil had moderate effectiveness, while neem oil and fish oil rosin soap were highly ineffective.

Summary: The tea mosquito bug (TMB) can induce the production of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in Camellia sinensis. A total of 709 circRNAs were identified, with 34 circRNAs showing differential expression in response to TMB attack. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these differentially expressed circRNAs are involved in various biological pathways such as tryptophan metabolism, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, porphyrin metabolism, nucleocytoplasmic transport, and N-glycan biosynthesis. The miRNA-mediated interaction analysis suggested that some of the differentially expressed circRNAs can act as sponges, inhibiting miRNA-mRNA binding and mRNA cleavage, potentially targeting genes like aspartyl protease, phospholipase, and lectin receptor.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of an nC24 mineral oil on the biological characteristics of the mosquito bug Helopeltis theivora. The results showed that the application of the oil reduced egg hatch, prolonged the pre-oviposition period of adult females, decreased adult longevity and female fecundity, and significantly reduced bug populations in cashew orchards.

Summary: This study documented for the first time the infestation of the mirid bug, Helopeltis cinchonae, on six important horticultural crops in India, with varying levels of damage across different plants and seasons. Significant yield losses to guava fruits and chili plants were observed in Meghalaya due to H. cinchonae infestations.

Summary: The impact of biotic and abiotic stress on tea includes reduced yield and changes in flavour, aroma, and phytochemical composition. The tea mosquito bug (TMB) is a major biotic stress that affects the growth, yield, and quality of tea. This study investigated the impact of TMB infestation on three Indian tea cultivars, revealing increased levels of antioxidant enzymes and phytochemicals, as well as differential production of secondary metabolites. Transcriptional analysis also showed induction of key flavonoid genes in infected plants.

Summary: This study examined the DPP-IV inhibitory activity of leaf extracts from different Japanese green tea cultivars using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. It revealed differences in inhibitory rates among tea extracts and identified new compounds as DPP-IV inhibitors. The study also found that adding these compounds in combination can enhance the bioactivity of tea extract.

Summary: The seed of Cycas pectinata is used in traditional practices in the Northeastern region of India for various purposes, including improving testicular functions. This study investigated the effects of C. pectinata seed extract (CPE) on testicular steroidogenesis using in vivo and in vitro approaches. The results showed that CPE increased estrogen levels and decreased testosterone levels, suggesting an increase in aromatase activity. Additionally, CPE upregulated the expression and localization of CYP19A1, along with other steroidogenic markers. Molecular docking analysis identified compounds in CPE that can bind to CYP19A1. Overall, the findings suggest that the phytochemicals in CPE can modulate testicular steroidogenesis.
