Abscission of cotton flower buds and petioles caused by protein from boll weevil larvae.
Protein extracted from boll weevil larvae causes abscission of cotton flower buds and debladed petioles. Abscission of buds is preceded by a rapid and persistent flaring of bracts; cell proliferation is induced in the abscission zone of debladed petioles. A possible mode of transmission of the agent from larva to bud tissue is discussed.
متن کاملBoll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) survival through cotton gin trash fans.
There is concern that cotton gins may serve as loci for reintroduction of boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, to eradicated or suppressed zones when processing weevil-infested cotton from neighboring zones. Previous work has shown that virtually all weevils entering the gin in the seed cotton will be removed before they reach the gin stand. Those not killed by the seed cotton clea...
متن کاملTransgenic cotton expressing Cry10Aa toxin confers high resistance to the cotton boll weevil
Genetically modified (GM) cotton plants that effectively control cotton boll weevil (CBW), which is the most destructive cotton insect pest in South America, are reported here for the first time. This work presents the successful development of a new GM cotton with high resistance to CBW conferred by Cry10Aa toxin, a protein encoded by entomopathogenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) gene. The plan...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of a cysteine proteinase cDNA from the cotton boll weevil Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
The cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) causes severe cotton crop losses in North and South America. This report describes the presence of cysteine proteinase activity in the cotton boll weevil. Cysteine proteinase inhibitors from different sources were assayed against total A. grandis proteinases but, unexpectedly, no inhibitor tested was particularly effective. In order to screen for acti...
متن کاملBoll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) survival through the seed cotton cleaning process in the cotton gin.
There is concern that gins located in boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, eradication zones may become points of reintroduction when they process cotton grown in a neighboring infested area. We estimated boll weevil survival through two typical machine sequences used in commercial cotton gins to clean and dry the seed cotton in advance of the gin stand, as well as separately throug...
