Effects of Synthetic Insecticides and Crude Botanicals Extracts on Cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Cabbage

Evaluation of soil-applied systemic insecticides against cabbage aphid,brevicoryne brassicae and resultant survival of the primary parasitoid diaeretiella rapae on cabbage

sampling procedure and temporal-spatial distribution of the cabbage aphid, brevicoryne brassicae l. (hemiptera: aphididae), on canola

to estimate population density of the cabbage aphid, brevicoryne brassicae (l.), a stratified random sampling was conducted in two unsprayed canola fields in isfahan (central iran) during 2011-2012. population density was determined for apterous, and alates, as well as the total population, at two plant growth phases (pgp1: from plant emergence to the end of rosette, and pgp2: from the beginnin...

Purification and characterisation of a non-plant myrosinase from the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (L.).

Plant myrosinases and glucosinolates constitute a defence system in cruciferous plants towards pests and diseases. We have purified for the first time a non-plant myrosinase from the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) to homogeneity. The protein was N-terminally blocked and protease (trypsin and lys c) degradation gave peptides of which five were sequenced. The protein is a dimer with sub...

Resistance of Cabbage Aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus) to Endosulfan, Organophosphates and Synthetic Pyrethroids

Laboratory bioassays were done to determine the level of resistance to endosulfan, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, methamidophos, profenofos and chlorpyrifos in field populations of cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (L). Comparison between Multan and Kabirwala strains revealed that the level of resistance in Multan strain was comparatively higher to methamidophos, profenofos and chlorpyrifos as ...

Cytogenetic analysis on the holocentric chromosomes of the cabbage aphid Brevicoryne brassicae

Chromatin organization in the holocentric chromosomes of the aphid Brevicoryne brassicae has been investigated at a cytological level after C-banding, NOR, Giemsa, DAPI and CMA3 staining. C-banding technique showed the presence of heterochromatic bands on both telomeres of the two X chromosomes, whereas only the longest pair of autosomes show distinct intercalary C-positive bands. Moreover, sil...
