Disease relevance of Diafenthiuron

Bioassays were conducted in 2001 and 2002 to estimate toxicities and dose-response relationships of 24 Bemisica tabaci Gennadius populations to pyriproxifen, acemitaprid, and diafenthiuron [1].

High impact information on Diafenthiuron

Field efficacy and baseline toxicities of pyriproxifen, acetamiprid, and diafenthiuron against Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) in Burkina Faso (West Africa) [1].
In addition, efforts have been made to develop compounds acting selectively on groups of insects by inhibiting or enhancing biochemical sites such as respiration (diafenthiuron), the nicotinyl acetylcholine receptors (imidacloprid and acetamiprid), the GABA receptors (avermectins), the salivary glands of sucking pests (pymetrozine) and others [2].
Porin was also isolated and purified from mitochondria, which were treated with the carbodiimide CGA 140'408 It represents the active derivative of diafenthiuron a new acaricide and insecticide [3].
The role of ATPase inhibition in the modes of acaricidal and insecticidal actions of diafenthiuron, the two carbodiimides, and the other compounds is discussed [4].

Associations of Diafenthiuron with other chemical compounds

Rapamycin- or nutrient-induced stimulation of Spc1/Sty1 activity promotes Polo kinase SPB recruitment and Cdc2 activation to advance mitotic onset [5].
