Background
Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are important self‐defense outputs of pepper plants to resist insect pests. Ascoviruses are pathogenic to the larvae of most lepidopteran vegetable pests. However, whether Heliothis virescens ascovirus 3h (HvAV‐3h)‐infected Spodoptera litura larvae can change pepper leaf HIPVs is not well understood.
RESULTS
Spodoptera litura larvae preferred...
BACKGROUND
Resistance to insect pests is an important self‐defense characteristic of pepper plants. However, the resistance of different pepper cultivars to Spodoptera litura larvae, one of the main insect pest species on pepper, is not well understood.
RESULTS
Among seven pepper cultivars evaluated, cayenne pepper ‘FXBX’ showed the highest repellency to third instar S. litura larvae, Chao tian...
