“Lacanobia oleracea (Noctuidae) larvae are a recognized tomato pest; parasitoid venom proteins inhibiting moulting in lepidopteran larvae is biologically established. Note source_quote misspells genus as 'Lacomobia'.”
- agroecologist · plausible
“Lacanobia oleracea is a known lepidopteran pest of tomato; parasitic wasp venom proteins causing moult inhibition in host larvae is a well-documented tritrophic mechanism consistent with the source quote.”
