ABSTRACT.- Field studies tested the use of lure-baited traps for female removal (FR) of codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera:Tortricidae) in apple, Malus domestica Borkhausen, treated with sex pheromone-based mating disruption (MD-FR). Four lures were evaluated, including the combination of (E,Z)?2,4?ethyl decadienoate (pear ester, PE), (E)?4,8?dimethyl?1,3,7?nonatriene (DMNT), and 6-ethenyl-2,2,6-trimethyloxan-3-ol (pyranoid linalool oxide, LOX), these three components with (E,E)?8,10?dodecadien?1?ol (PH), and two lures loaded with PH/PE.

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern in public health and current research shows an important role for bacterial biofilms in recurrent or chronic infections. New strategies, therefore, are necessary to overcome antimicrobial resistance, through the development of new therapies that could alter or inhibit biofilm formation. In this sense, antibiofilm natural products are very promising. In this work, a bioprospection of antimicrobial and antibiofilm extracts from Uruguayan soil bacteria and insect gut bacteria was carried out.

Red-banded stink bug Piezodorus guildinii (P. guildinii) has been described as the most damaging stink bug regarding soybean crops, leading to seed injury, low germination percentages, and foliar retention, at low population densities. In recent years, RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved eukaryote silencing mechanism has been explored to develop species-selective pesticides. In this work, we evaluated RNAi in P. guildinii to develop new pest-control strategies. For this, we assembled and annotated a P. guildinii transcriptome from a pool of all developmental stages.

Con motivo de la conmemoración del Día Internacional de la Mujer, desde la Comisión de Género, se ha promovido un espacio de reflexión crítica a través del relevamiento de percepciones de ocho funcionarias que fueron consultadas sobre las brechas de género que visualizan en el Instituto:8 Miradas 8 Mujeres.
