A study of the ingestion toxicity of Cestrum parqui was conducted on three crop-damaging Lepidoptera: Pieris brassicae (Pieridae), Spodoptera littoralis, and Helicoverpa armigera (Noctuidae). The results show disruptions in feeding behavior, digestion, development, and reproduction. Developmental arrest, larval mortality due to difficulties in molting, nymphal malformations, and difficulties in emergence were observed. Protein analysis reveals impaired protein digestion, which affects protein levels in larval hemolymph and cuticle, cuticle thickness, pupa weight, adult wingspan, and the number of eggs in female ovaries. Cestrum parqui is a plant with significant insecticidal potential that can be utilized for the production of alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
