Contrasting Roles of Deoxynivalenol and Nivalenol in Host-Mediated Interactions between Fusarium graminearum and Sitobion avenae (2016)
Journal Article
Drakulic, J., Kahar, M., Ajigboye, O., Bruce, T., & Ray, R. (2016). Contrasting Roles of Deoxynivalenol and Nivalenol in Host-Mediated Interactions between Fusarium graminearum and Sitobion avenae. Toxins, https://doi.org/10.3390/toxins8120353

Fusarium graminearum is the predominant causal species of Fusarium head blight in Europe and North America. Different chemotypes of the species exist, each producing a plethora of mycotoxins. Isolates of differing chemotypes produce nivalenol (NIV) a...

Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of female African rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzivora Harris and Gagné, to host plant volatiles. (2016)
Journal Article
Ogah, E., Smart, L., Woodcock, C., Caulfield, J., Birkett, M., Pickett, J., …Bruce, T. (2016). Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of female African rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzivora Harris and Gagné, to host plant volatiles. Journal of Chemical Ecology, 13 - 16. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-016-0788-6

African rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzivora Harris and Gagné, is a major pest of rice in Africa. Depsite its economic importance, its chemical ecology is not well understood. Here, we assessed behavioral and electrophysiological responses of O. oryzi...

Aphid Infestation Increases Fusarium langsethiae and T-2 and HT-2 Mycotoxins in Wheat (2016)
Journal Article
Drakulic, J., Ajigboye, O., Swarup, R., Bruce, T., & Ray, R. (2016). Aphid Infestation Increases Fusarium langsethiae and T-2 and HT-2 Mycotoxins in Wheat. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 6548 - 6556. https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.02343-16

Fusarium langsethiae is a fungal pathogen of cereal crops that is an increasing problem in northern Europe, but much of its epidemiology is poorly understood. The species produces the mycotoxins T-2 and HT-2, which are highly toxic. It was hypothesiz... Read More about Aphid Infestation Increases Fusarium langsethiae and T-2 and HT-2 Mycotoxins in Wheat.

Virus Infection of Plants Alters Pollinator Preference: A Payback for Susceptible Hosts? (2016)
Journal Article
Groen, S., Jiang, S., Murphy, A., Cunniffe, N., Westwood, J., Davey, M., …Carr, J. (2016). Virus Infection of Plants Alters Pollinator Preference: A Payback for Susceptible Hosts?. PLOS pathogens a peer-reviewed open-access journal published by the Public Library of Science, e1005790 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1005790

Plant volatiles play important roles in attraction of certain pollinators and in host location by herbivorous insects. Virus infection induces changes in plant volatile emission profiles, and this can make plants more attractive to insect herbivores,...

An Indirect Defence Trait Mediated through Egg-Induced Maize Volatiles from Neighbouring Plants. (2016)
Journal Article
Mutyambai, D., Khan, Z., Midega, C., Pickett, J., Bruce, T., & van den Berg, J. (2016). An Indirect Defence Trait Mediated through Egg-Induced Maize Volatiles from Neighbouring Plants. PloS one, e0158744 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0158744

Attack of plants by herbivorous arthropods may result in considerable changes to the plant's chemical phenotype with respect to emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). These HIPVs have been shown to act as repellents to the attacking i... Read More about An Indirect Defence Trait Mediated through Egg-Induced Maize Volatiles from Neighbouring Plants..

The CROPROTECT project and wider opportunities to improve farm productivity through web-based knowledge exchange. (2016)
Journal Article
Bruce. (2016). The CROPROTECT project and wider opportunities to improve farm productivity through web-based knowledge exchange. Food and Energy Security, 89 - 96. https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.80

A key global 21st century challenge is to maximize agricultural production while minimizing use of resources such as land, water, and energy to meet rising demand for produce. To meet this challenge, while also adapting to climate change, agriculture...
