TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used tomato plants as a model system and demonstrated that Trichoderma afroharzianum, widely used as a biocontrol agent of plant pathogens, negatively affects the development and survival of the lepidopteran pest Spodoptera littoralis by altering the gut microbiota and its symbiotic contribution to larval nutrition.

TL;DR: In this paper , transgenic tobacco plants were transformed to produce double-stranded RNA targeting Sl 102 gene that is involved in the immune response of Spodoptera littoralis larvae.

TL;DR: Two diagnostic protocols based on frass analysis with real-time PCR (probe and SYBR Green) show that a non-invasive approach for detecting the presence of this harmful invasive pest can be a reliable and accurate alternative diagnostic tool in phytosanitary surveys, as well as to outline a sustainable pest management strategy.
Not Only Systemin: Prosystemin Harbors Other Active Regions Able to Protect Tomato Plants
