Assortments of digestive enzymes induced in first instar larvae of Busseola fusca feeding on different plants.

Juma, G.; Le Ru, B.; Calatayud, P.-A. (SAGE, 2019)

The stem borer Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important pest of maize and sorghum in sub-Saharan Africa. This insect has oligophagous feeding habits, feeding mostly on maize and sorghum with a narrow ...
Differences in mate Acceptance and Host Plant Recognition between wild and Laboratory-reared Busseola Fusca (Fuller)

Calatayud, P.-A.; Juma, G.; Njagi, P.G.N.; Faure, N.; Calatayud, S.; Dupas, S.; Le Rü, B.; Magoma, G.; Silvain, J.F.; Frérot, B. (Blackwell Verlag, Berlin, 2008)

The present study was aimed at characterizing differences in mate acceptance and host plant recognition between Busseola fusca (Lep.: Noctuidae) reared for several generations under laboratory conditions and wild conspecifics, ...
Salivary α-amylase of stem borer hosts determines host recognition and acceptance for oviposition by Cotesia spp. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae).

Bichang'a, G.; Da Lage, J. L; Sambai, K.; Mule, S.; Le Ru, B.; Juma, G.; Maina, E.; Calatayud, P. A (Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018)

Foraging insect parasitoids use specific chemical cues to discriminate between host and non-host species. Several compounds have been identified in “host location and acceptance.” However, nothing is known about the molecular ...
