Exogenous systemin peptide treatment in olive alters Bactrocera oleae ovipositi...
Sánchez, Luiza; Cunha, Ana E.; Rodrigues, Nuno; Pereira, José Alberto; Baptista, PaulaThe olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), is a key pest of the olive crop, whose control relies mostly on the use of insecticides. Plant peptides may represent a more environmentally-friendly tool to manage olive fly, due to their recognized role to activate and/or prime plant defence responses against pests. In this work, behavioural experiments (no-choice and two-choice) and analysis of volatile compound...
