Influence of parasitoid-associated viral symbionts on plant–insect interactions and biological control
2021
International audience; Insect parasitoids have evolved symbiotic interactions with several viruses and thousands of parasitoid species have established mutualistic associations with polydnaviruses (PDVs). While PDVs have often been described as virulence factors allowing development of immature parasitoids inside their herbivore hosts, there is increasing awareness that PDVs can affect plant-insect interactions. We review recent literature showing that PDVs alter not only host physiology, but also feeding patterns and composition of herbivore's oral secretions. In turn PDV-induced changes in herbivore phenotype affect plant responses to herbivory with consequences ranging from differential…
Theoretical results on the double positron decay of 106Cd
2001
Abstract Theoretical results for the double positron decay of 106 Cd are presented. The calculated values for the lateral single-beta-decay feeding patterns and electromagnetic transitions leading to states in 106 Cd and 106 Pd are discussed and compared to the data. The results on the double positron decay of 106 Cd are compared to new experimental limits. Based on the results of the present calculations, we report on the possibility of detecting the EC/EC or the β + /EC decay modes to final J π =0 + states using the improved sensitivity of the planned measurements.
