Insect Pest Proteomics and Its Potential Application in Pest Control Management

Abstract

High intensive shortwave light can be obtained through triboelectrification induced triboplasma discharge in sliding friction. Therefore, It will present a new method for emitting shortwave light which can be used as light source to control agricultural pests by wind-driven sliding friction without extra energy supply. The intensity of shortwave emission from triboplasma discharge induced by triboelectrification in reciprocating rubbing movement between PTFE and quartz tube filled Ar-N2 mixed gas had be investigated. The spectrum of shortwave emission near UV and violet and especially 52282 counts light intensity at 337nm peak wavelength was obtained. Further, the double-cylindrical shape of quartz tube was designed to form the triboplasma light emission device. The vertical shaft wind turbine was used to constitute the rotating driving part to satisfy the self-powered application needs.This work provides a novel method to emit shortwave emission for light trapping agricultural pests to control crop/forage grass pest-insects without pesticides by utilizing windy energy in the vast field or wild grassland.

Role of Insect Gut Microbiota in Pesticide Degradation: A Review

“…The peritrophic matrix shields the epithelium against mechanical injury by food elements, toxins in food, invasive microbes, and absorbed food and digestive enzymes ( Kuraishi et al, 2013 ; Dastranj et al, 2016 ). In other circumstances, the peritrophic medium wraps around the undigested food mass as it passes along the digestive tract.…”

A comprehensive Review on Genomic Approaches for Insect Pest Management

“…Transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics play significant roles in pest management [47] by providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying interactions between pests and their environment, including host plants, pathogens, and natural enemies. Here's how each omics approach contributes to pest management:…”

Proteomics as a tool for tapping potential of entomopathogens as microbial insecticides

“…Both proteomic approaches have been increasingly adopted for insect pest management research (Table ). The examples of applications include insect–plant host interactions (Dastranj, Gharechahi, & Salekdeh, ), characterizing mechanism of action of synthetic and bio‐based insecticides (Dong et al, ; Erban, Harant, Chalupnikova, Kocourek, & Stara, ; J. M. Park et al, ; Roat et al, ), assessing impact of insecticides of nontarget organisms (Vioque‐Fernández, De Almeida, & López‐Barea, ), and characterizing EPM in managing insect pests. Contemporary proteomics research has the options of adopting gel‐based or MS‐based, labeled or nonlabelled approach to answer biological questions (Figure ).…”
