Genotypes suppressing meiotic drive of a B chromosome in the mealybug, Pseudococcus obscurus.
The rate of transmission (k) of a supernumerary B chromosome in male mealybugs is shown to depend strongly on the chromosome set of maternal origin. When both parents came from an isofemale line in which the frequency of the B chromosome increased rapidly and stabilized at a mean of more than 4.0 B chromosomes per individual, k was 0.92 and 0.95 in two series of crosses. However, when the femal...

متن کاملAsynchronous replication of DNA in a heterochromatic set of chromosomes in Pseudococcus obscurus.
replication of chromosomal DNA has been shown to be asynchronous for T z o l e chromosomes or for parts of a single chromosome by LIMA-DE-FARIA (1959, 196l), MORISHIMA, GRUMBACH, and TAYLOR (1962), TAYLOR (1960), WIMBER ( 1961 ), WIMBER and PRENSKY (1963), and others. The chromosomes of the organisms studied generally contained heterochromatin. This heterochromatin is genetically determined in ...
متن کاملInvestigating Biological Control Agents for Controlling Invasive Populations of the Mealybug Pseudococcus comstocki in France
Pseudococcus comstocki (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is a mealybug species native to Eastern Asia and present as an invasive pest in northern Italy and southern France since the start of the century. It infests apple and pear trees, grapevines and some ornamental trees. Biocontrol programmes against this pest proved successful in central Asia and North America in the second half of the 20th centu...
متن کاملIdentification of Mealybug- (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) Resistant Turf-Type Buffalograss Germplasm
Two species of mealybugs, Tridiscus sporoboli (Cockerell) and Trionymus sp., have emerged as potentially serious pests of turf-type buffalograss, Buchloe dactyloides (Nuttall) Engelmann. Sixty-two buffalograss selections were screened for resistance to these mealybugs in 4 greenhouse trials. Using a 1-6 rating scale (1 = no signs of mealybugs, 6 = >75% of tillers infested), 'Prairie' and '609' ...
