In rice, (E)-β-caryophyllene has been reported to attract a major insect pest, Nilaparvata lugens, and its egg parasitoid, Anagrus nilaparvatae. Yet, it remains unclear whether (E)-β-caryophyllene also influences other herbivores in rice. Here we demonstrated that a rice (E)-β-caryophyllene syntha ...

Abstract:
... Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), the products of the hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) branch of the oxylipin pathway, play important roles in plant defense responses to both insect pests and pathogens. However, little is known about the role of GLVs in the defense responses of rice to the white-backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth)). Here, we found that the rice HPL gene OsHPL3 was upregula ...

Abstract:
... The corn leaf aphid (CLA; Rhopalosiphum maidis) is a phloem sap-sucking insect that attacks many cereal crops, including maize (Zea mays). We previously showed that the maize inbred line Mp708, which was developed by classical plant breeding, provides enhanced resistance to CLA. Here, using electrophysiological monitoring of aphid feeding behavior, we demonstrate that Mp708 provides phloem-mediate ...

L. occidentalis adults and nymphs were caged on conelets of lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelmann, and western white pine, Pinus monticola Dougl. ex D. Don. Abortion in lodgepole pine conelets was negligible, b ...

Abstract:
... Since the beginning of agriculture approximately 10,000 years ago, farmers have struggled to protect their crops from insect pests. This is particularly true for maize, an important agricultural foodstuff that is vulnerable to attack by wide variety of herbivores. Plant breeding is one strategy successfully employed to develop genotypes with improved resistance to these pests. One example is the m ...

... BACKGROUND: Surveillance strategies are often standardized and completed on grid patterns to detect pest incursions quickly; however, it may be possible to improve surveillance through more targeted observation that accounts for landscape heterogeneity, dispersal and the habitat requirements of the invading organism. We simulated pest spread at a local scale, using grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira ...

Abstract:
... We considered the analysis of bioassay data resulting from the treatment of fruit that has been naturally infested, when the treatment sample size is unknown. Natural infestation may cause considerable variability between fruit. We described a procedure to quantify this variability and account for it in the bioassay analysis. We also discussed the optimal numbers of control and treatment fruit. ...

Abstract:
... Eucalyptus spp., native to Australia, have been introduced into many parts of the world as important timber and ornamental trees. Although the trees have important silvicultural qualities, they also have generated intense dissatisfaction, particularly among groups of individuals in California. The trees have benefited from the lack of insect pests and diseases in their adventive ranges but that ha ...

Abstract:
... In field, plants are exposed to multiple biological stresses simultaneously; for example, insect damage and pathogenic virus infection. In this study, we constructed a simple tripartite experimental system using tomato plant, their insect pest Bemisia tabaci (whitefly), and infectious tomato mosaic virus (ToMV). In the choice test, whiteflies laid more eggs on uninfected plant than on ToMV-infecte ...

Sequencing of the amplification products revealed that 8/12 of the diazinon-resistant horn flies contained a point mutation previously associated with resistance to organophosphates in house flies and Drosophila, strongly suggesting that this cDNA encodes the AChE that is the tar ...

Abstract:
... Molecular mechanisms of monocrotophos resistance in the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch, were investigated. A monocrotophos-resistant strain (AD) showed ca. 3568- and 47.6-fold resistance compared to a susceptible strain (UD) and a moderately resistant strain (PyriF), respectively. No significant differences in detoxification enzyme activities, except for the cytochrome P4 ...
