Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth, DBM) is a major pest for Brassica crops that causes £3.5 billion in damage each year. Given issues such as resistance to and environmental impact of insecticides, sustainable approaches to DBM management are urgently needed. The proposed research aims to expose vulnerabilities of DBM in its rhythmic and coordinated interactions with host plants and its inherent attraction to non-host plants expressing toxic metabolites. The outcome of this research might be exploited in new intervention strategies

小菜蛾（Plutella xylostella）是芸苔属作物的主要害虫，每年造成35亿英镑的损失。鉴于杀虫剂的耐药性和环境影响等问题，迫切需要可持续的DBM管理方法。该研究旨在揭示DBM与宿主植物的节律性和协调性相互作用及其对表达有毒代谢物的非宿主植物的固有吸引力。这项研究的结果可能会在新的干预策略中得到利用
