Novel target for insecticide

Ebook "Advanced technologies for managing insect pests" among the highlights of this book is the use of novel insecticides acting on a specific site in an insect group and are compatible with natural enemies and the environment. One of such approaches is based on disrupting the activity of biochemical sites acting on transcription factors such as the Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) family, anti juvenile hormone (AJH) agents that target JH biosynthetic enzymes, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and bursicon as a target for insect control.

A study was conducted to assess the microbial load on lemon fruits at different postharvest handling stages. After harvesting, there are six different post-harvest handling stages were identified and they are collection, grading, packaging, transportation, wholesaler and retailer stages of fruits. And it was found that the microbial load was suddenly increases at Transportation stage and after it the microbial load continuously increases at subsequent stages i.e. at wholesaler and retailer level. Not only plant pathogenic microorganisms but also the human pathogenic microbes such as E.
