Effects of Ethephon on the Hemolymph Metabolites of the Greater Wax Moth Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Ethephon (ETF), one of the plant growth regulators, is used in agricultural systems as a valuable tool due to its property of regulating fruit maturation. Here, we aimed to investigate the toxic effects of ETF on the hemolymph metabolites of the greater wax moth, G. mellonella which is an experimental animal and a serious pest in wax. Different doses of ETF (250–390 μg/5 μl) were injected with ...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent development of Habrobracon hebetor (Hym.: Braconidae) reared on larvae of Galleria mellonella (Lep.: Pyralidae)
دوره‌های رشد و نرخ بقای Habrobracon hebetor Sayپرورش‌یافته روی سن آخر لاروی(L.) Galleria mellonella در 10 دمای مختلف و ثابت (از 16 تا 38 درجه‌ی سانتی‌گراد) مورد مقایسه قرار گرفت. دوره‌های رشد مراحل نابالغ زنبور پارازیتوئید در دامنه‌ی دمایی 16 تا 38 درجه‌ی سانتی‌گراد با افزایش دما کاهش یافت. با وجود این، در دمای 16 درجه‌ی سانتی‌گراد هیچ لاروی قادر به ادامه‌ی حیات و رشد نبود. زمان رشد از تخم تا م...
متن کاملmass rearing of bracon hebetor (hym.: braconidae) on wax moth, galleria mellonella (lep.: pyralidae) with varying density of parasitoid and the host
rearing methods for bracon hebetor (say) (hym., braconidae) were investigated in the series of laboratory experiments designed to enhance the yield of the mass rearing of this parasitoid for biological control of lepidopteran field and stored product pests. in these experiments, the effects of parasitoid and host densities on fertility and sex ratio of b. hebetor were assessed. in parasitoid de...
متن کاملHearing and evasive behaviour in the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (Pyralidae)
Greater wax moths (Galleria mellonella L., Pyraloidea) use ultrasound sensitive ears to detect clicking conspeci®cs and echolocating bats. Pyralid ears have four sensory cells, A1±4. The audiogram of G. mellonella has best frequency at 60 kHz with a threshold around 47 dB sound pressure level. A1 and A2 have almost equal thresholds in contrast to noctuids and geometrids. A3 responds at + 12 to ...
متن کاملImmunity of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella.
Investigation of insect immune mechanisms provides important information concerning innate immunity, which in many aspects is conserved in animals. This is one of the reasons why insects serve as model organisms to study virulence mechanisms of human pathogens. From the evolutionary point of view, we also learn a lot about host-pathogen interaction and adaptation of organisms to conditions of l...
