This study evaluates and optimizes a method for measuring P450 activity in aphids using 7-ethoxycoumarin, finding that microplate homogenization reduces inhibitory compounds compared to Eppendorf tubes.

This study shows that green peach aphids prefer and perform better on young cabbage leaves despite high glucosinolate levels, due to higher nutrient availability and phloem sap quality.

This study shows that BABA application reduces S. avenae weight and growth, likely due to direct toxicity from high BABA levels in plant phloem, not antifeedant effects.
