DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE IN SOUTHERN CHINCH BUGS (HEMIPTERA: LYGAEIDAE) TO THE INSECTICIDE BIFENTHRIN

Development of Resistance in Southern Chinch Bugs (hemiptera: Lygaeidae) to the Insecticide Bifenthrin

Na+/K+-ATPase resistance and cardenolide sequestration: basal adaptations to host plant toxins in the milkweed bugs (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae: Lygaeinae).

Despite sequestration of toxins being a common coevolutionary response to plant defence in phytophagous insects, the macroevolution of the traits involved is largely unaddressed. Using a phylogenetic approach comprising species from four continents, we analysed the ability to sequester toxic cardenolides in the hemipteran subfamily Lygaeinae, which is widely associated with cardenolide-producin...

Buffalograss germplasm resistance to Blissus occiduus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae).

Plant germplasm collections may offer genetic variability useful in identifying insect resistance. The goal of this project was to evaluate buffalograss genotypes [Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] for resistance to the chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), and to relate resistance to ploidy level, chinch bug number, and pubescence. Forty-eight buffalograss genotypes fr...

St. Augustinegrass Cultivar Influences on Southern Chinch Bug and Predator Populations

Field and greenhouse studies were conducted in Georgia and South Carolina to determine the tolerance and antibiosis effects of 15 St. Augustinegrass genotypes against the southern chinch bug. ‘Floratam’ and ‘Floralawn’ cultivars were highly resistant to southern chinch bug populations in Georgia and South Carolina. When southern chinch bugs were caged on Floratam for 37 days in a greenhouse stu...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
