Targeting of a melon bioinsecticide for leafminer

About

The leafminer is the main problem in the melon cultivation in Brazil. From remarkable resistant accessions we propose to elucidate the compound(s) responsible for this antibiose using LC-MS and to develop a specific carbon-dot nanoformulation to control this pest, preserving biodiversity.
