RNAi as a management tool for the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera.
The western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is the most important pest of corn in the US Corn Belt. Economic estimates indicate that costs of control and yield loss associated with WCR damage exceed $US 1 billion annually. Historically, corn rootworm management has been extremely difficult because of its ability to evolve resistance to both chemical insecticides and cultura...
متن کاملRECENT RESEARCH ON THE WESTERN CORN ROOTWORM Western corn rootworm ( Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) population dynamics
1 The western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte is a major insect pest of field maize, Zea mays L. Larvae can cause substantial injury by feeding on maize roots. Larval feeding may destroy individual roots or root nodes, and reduce plant growth, stability, and yield. Costs associated with managing corn rootworms in continuous maize are annually one of the largest expenditures...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera virus 2, a Novel Small RNA Virus of the Western Corn Rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte
The genome of a novel small RNA virus, tentatively named Diabrotica virgifera virgifera virus 2 (DvvV2), was identified in the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, through transcriptome sequencing and confirmed by reverse transcription-PCR. Here, we report the near-complete nucleotide sequence and the genome organization of DvvV2.

he forage legume cicera chickling (Lathyrus cicera (L.) D.C.) disributed in Mediterranean region is gaining importance in terms f economy and agriculture in Turkey. However, full potential of he legume has to be realized yet due to the presence of neuotoxin, -N-oxalyl-l-a, -diaminopropionoc acid (ODAP) causing athyrism. This study aimed to develop efficient micropropagation ystem using longitud...
متن کاملRNA interference as a method for target-site screening in the western corn rootworm, <i>Diabrotica virgifera virgifera</i>
To test the efficacy of RNA interference (RNAi) as a method for target-site screening in Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) larvae, genes were identified and tested for which clear RNAi phenotypes had been identified in the Coleopteran model, Tribolium castaneum. Here the cloning of the D. v. vergifera orthologs of laccase 2 (DvvLac2) and chitin synthase 2 (DvvCH...
