Mutation in either OsPAD4 or OsEDS1 resulted in increased rice susceptibility to BPH, which was associated with increased honeydew excretion and an increased host preference of BPH.

Leucotaraxis argenticollis life stages, their excrement, and honeydew produced by HWA were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results showed that these anthraquinones were detected in various life stages of Le. argenticollis immatures and adults that fed on HWA.

This study continues previous research on beech and chestnut honeydew honeys by presenting a comprehensive analysis of linden honeydew honey (LHH) from Bosnia and Herzegovina-a variety that, until now, has not been characterised in detail....Further studies with broader sample sets are needed to explore variability and confirm the therapeutic relevance of LHH in comparison to other honeydew types....Keywords: HaCaT cells; Tilia spp.; antimicrobial activity; antioxidant activity; cytotoxicity; linden honeydew honey; phenolic profile; physicochemical properties; volatile compounds; wound healing.

Yet, aphids handle the highly viscous honeydew droplets they secrete by coating them with hydrophobic wax powder which maintains an air layer between their body and the liquid.

Beech honeydew honey had the highest Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) values, while thyme and clover honey had the lowest TFC values. Similarly, thyme honey exhibited the highest Total Phenolic Content (TPC) value, with kāmahi and clover honey having the lowest TPC values....Furthermore, only thyme and beech honeydew New Zealand honeys contained vitamin C. The different honeys contained varying concentrations of polyphenols, with mānuka, kānuka, and pōhutukawa honeys having high amounts of quercetin, luteolin, and gallic acid, respectively....Folin–Ciocalteau total phenolic content assay; LCMS; MGO; New Zealand honey kānuka honey; TPC; antibacterial; arabinogalactan proteins; bioactivities; clover honey; cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity assay; ferric reducing antioxidant power assay; flavonoids; growth inhibition assay; health; honey; honeydew

Cotton stickiness, mostly resulting from honeydew depositions of whiteflies and aphids, presents a worldwide problem for cotton growers and processors consistently. To meet the challenge of measuring the cotton stickiness, a few direct and indirect techniques exist.

SLF excretes honeydew containing detectable DNA, providing a unique opportunity to leverage environmental DNA (eDNA) for its detection. This study introduces the ant-derived DNA (antDNA) approach, utilizing ants as 'honeydew samplers' to detect SLF DNA....We then showed that after a single honeydew meal, SLF DNA persisted in ants for at least 5 days, even when, subsequently, ants were fed plain honey solution....These findings confirm that ants, through their active foraging and feeding on environmental honeydew and ability to retain the ingested material, are highly reliable SLF DNA samplers.

We then measured honeydew excretion and conducted life table analysis under laboratory conditions to assess effects on growth and reproduction. Under greenhouse conditions, all seven flavonoids were tested for their inhibitory effects on A. gossypii population growth over 12 days....And also, each of seven flavonoids reduced honeydew production compared to controls....Discussion: These results demonstrate that the seven flavonoids, especially naringenin, apigenin, and kaempferol tested provided effective management of A. gossypii populations by deterring host settling, reducing phloem feeding, honeydew production, and decreasing reproductive rates

We investigated the antimicrobial properties and effects on bone resorption of Brazilian organic honeydew (OHD) from the Bracatinga tree (Mimosa scabrella Benth.), a rare honey certified with Denomination of Origin, using a periodontal disease model....This Brazilian honeydew from the Atlantic Forest exhibits strong antimicrobial properties and potential as a functional food for oral health, offering a promising alternative for the control and prevention of periodontal disease.

These specialized particles play essential biological roles, notably providing hydrophobic protection against environmental contaminants and self-generated honeydew residues.
