Interaction between juniper Juniperus communis L. and its fruit pest insects: Pest abundance, fruit characteristics and seed viability
The relationships between the fruit features of Juniperus communis and the presence of fruit pests were studied in Sierra Nevada, SE Spain. The abundance of two insect species a pulp-sucking scale and a seed-predator wasp was surveyed with respect both to fruit characteristics and to viability of seeds contained therein. Seed-predator pressure was not significantly related to any fruit characte...
متن کاملMolecular identification key for pest species of Scirtothrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae).
Effective plant quarantine and biological control initiatives require rapid and accurate identification of exotic and potentially invasive taxa that may cause high economic losses or environmental damage. The genus Scirtothrips Shull includes several species that are serious agricultural pests, and, because of their minute size and cryptic behavior, prone to undetected transport through interna...
متن کاملPlant hormones: a key in clubroot development.
Clubroot disease causes gall formation on Brassica roots. A holistic approach was undertaken to understand the role of plant hormones in early clubroot symptom development in Arabidopsis. We used the CYCB1;1::GUS, DR5::GUS and ARR5::GUS constructs to assess clubroot initiation. We compared plant hormone concentration between control and infected plants, screened different hormone mutants for re...
متن کاملKey Applications of Plant Metabolic Engineering
Great strides have been made in plant metabolic engineering over the last two decades, with notable success stories including Golden rice. Here, we discuss the field's progress in addressing four long-standing challenges: creating plants that satisfy their own nitrogen requirement, so reducing or eliminating the need for nitrogen fertilizer; enhancing the nutrient content of crop plants; engine...
متن کاملUnaspis lansivora sp. n. (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), a new pest of Lansium domesticum (Meliaceae), and a key to Unaspis species.
Since 2004, an undescribed species of Unaspis (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) has become a damaging pest on Lansium domesticum Corrêa in the Philippines. Its attack on the leaves causes premature senescence and defoliation, resulting in the production of few, underdeveloped, sour fruit and sometimes killing the trees. The scale was misidentified initially as Lepidosaphes ulmi (Linnaeus) and then as Un...
