Summary: Liriomyza trifolii, a pest recently prevalent in China, has caused harm to over 300 plant species, particularly cowpea in Hainan. The field population of L. trifolii has developed high resistance to the insecticide indoxacarb, with a mutation in the sodium channel being responsible for this resistance. This study is significant for understanding the evolution of resistance and developing resistance management practices.

Summary: Liriomyza trifolii, an invasive pest of vegetable and horticultural crops in China, was targeted for RNA interference using a dsRNA microinjection method in this study. Expression analysis showed higher levels of V-ATPase B and V-ATPase D in L. trifolii adults compared to larvae or pupae. Microinjection with dsV-ATPase B or dsV-ATPase D led to a significant reduction in target gene expression and increased mortality in treated insects, suggesting the potential for new control strategies.

Summary: The ability of insects to efficiently respond to temperature fluctuations is crucial for their survival in changing environments. This study compared the transcriptomes of Liriomyza trifolii and L. sativae during rapid cold hardening (RCH) and found that transcriptional changes are associated with RCH, with more changes observed in L. sativae.

Summary: This study found that the tolerance of Liriomyza trifolii to insecticides under high temperature conditions is regulated by CYP450 genes and NADPH cytochrome C reductase activity, leading to a decrease in mortality under high temperature exposure. This discovery is important for understanding the physiological mechanism of Liriomyza trifolii and reducing the abuse of insecticides.

Summary: This study identified and classified seven odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in Liriomyza trifolii, a highly invasive polyphagia pest. The expression analysis showed differential expression of OBPs in different developmental stages and sexes of the adults. High expression OBPs in antennae were selected for in vitro purification. Fluorescence competitive binding experiments confirmed their strong binding abilities to plant volatiles. This study provides insights into the olfactory perception mechanism of L. trifolii and can be used for designing insect behavior regulators and developing effective insecticides.

Summary: The study found that the leafminer Liriomyza trifolii significantly expressed genes related to insect hormones after being treated with cyromazine. Hormone analogues can change the expression pattern of these genes and the length of pupa. The combination of cyromazine with 20E improved the survival rate of L. trifolii, while the combination of cyromazine with JH reduced survival.

Summary: Liriomyza trifolii, an important invasive pest, was studied in terms of its chitin synthase 2 gene. Through the method of dsRNA immersion, it was found that the expression of chitin synthase 2 in pupae can be significantly reduced, leading to a lower emergence rate of the pupae. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the function of chitin synthase 2 in L. trifolii and may facilitate the development of new pest control strategies.

Summary: The study revealed that the resistance to L. trifolii is heritable, controlled by the dominant allele Sd1 locus, and identified a novel QTL qSTP5 which explains over 13% of the total phenotypic variance. The desirable resistance allele is derived from the resistant cultivar Valmaine. Identification of SNPs linked to the QTL responsible for L. trifolii resistance will help plant breeders develop resistant romaine lettuce cultivars.

Summary: The study compared the overwintering potential, cold tolerance, and supercooling point between Liriomyza sativae and Liriomyza trifolii. Results showed that L. trifolii has better overwintering and cold tolerance capacity compared to L. sativae, indicating its potential to displace L. sativae and expand its range to northern China. This has important implications for predicting overwinter ranges and developing management strategies for invasive leafminers in China.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of microwave radiation on L. trifolii and its molecular response. It was found that microwave radiation inhibited the emergence of L. trifolii pupae. Transcriptomic analysis revealed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to reproduction, immunity, and development, which were significantly expressed after microwave radiation. Silencing DEGs encoding cuticular protein and protein takeout reduced the survival of L. trifolii exposed to microwave radiation.

Summary: This article presents the results of radiochemical events/processes that occur when water is exposed to ionising radiation of charged particles (beta and alpha-particles). The idea of cogeneration becomes even more lucrative if we consider that hydrogen energy generation is clean (also known as green energy) because of its insignificant contribution to environmental pollution. These results supplement the fluctuation in effective dose theory/hypothesis of a previous study on time-dependent variations in the radiological health impact of an interim SNFS facility presented in 2021 (Leotlela, 2021).

Summary: This work explores the possibility of using a polymer composite to protect against neutron radiation in space conditions. The study shows that the proposed polymer composite has high structural properties necessary for use in space. Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the neutron radiation passage through the material. The results demonstrate that the protective layer made of the polymer composite is thinner and more suitable for spacecraft, which is crucial due to limited space on board.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Neodymium (III) nitrate hexahydrate and lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate on the structural and radiation shielding properties of zircon mineral, and a new La/Nb-doped ZrO2 nanocomposite was fabricated. Experimental techniques such as energy-dispersive X-ray, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction pattern were used to analyze the structure and composition of the fabricated nanocomposites. Monte Carlo simulation was employed to evaluate the gamma-ray shielding properties. The results showed that the fabricated composites had good shielding characteristics, with a shielding capacity of 30-50% compared to pure lead in the intermediate energy range of 0.244-2.506 MeV.
