Mating Behavior and Female-produced Pheromone Use in Tropical Sod Webworm (lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Research was initiated to develop a pheromone-based monitoring system for the tropical sod webworm, Herpetogramma phaeopteralis (Guenée). A laboratory rearing procedure was developed to produce individuals for field tests and behavioral bioassays. Virgin females placed in Unitraps in the field attracted and captured males for 8 d, while no males were captured in unbaited traps. Total male captu...
متن کاملThe Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Beet Webworm, Spoladea recurvalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) and Its Phylogenetic Implications
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the beet webworm, Spoladea recurvalis has been sequenced. The circular genome is 15,273 bp in size, encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes and containing a control region with gene order and orientation identical to that of other ditrysian lepidopteran mitogenomes. The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome ...
متن کاملSex pheromone recognition and characterization of three pheromone-binding proteins in the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) are essential for the filtering, binding and transporting of sex pheromones across sensillum lymph to membrane-associated pheromone receptors of moths. In this study, three novel PBP genes were expressed in Escherichia coli to examine their involvement in the sex pheromone perception of Maruca vitrata. Fluorescence binding experiments indicated that MvitPBP1-3 ...
متن کاملmanagement of neoleucinodes elegantalis (lepidoptera: crambidae) in tomatoes using mating disruption and attract and kill
the mating disruption technique has been widely used for the control of several lepidopteran pests. in the present study, we assessed the efficiency of two formulations of splat neo, a wax emulsion containing e-11-hexadecenol, with and without the insecticide cypermethrin, in affecting mating disruption of neoleucinodes elegantalis (guenée). we also determined the best phenological age or stage...
متن کاملMultiple mating of male and female codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in apple orchards treated with sex pheromone.
Studies were conducted with codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., to evaluate the mating status of male and female moths in apple, Malus domestica (Borkhausen), orchards treated with and without sex pheromone dispensers. Laboratory studies first examined the effect of multiple mating of male and female moths on female fecundity and egg fertility. Females that had mated three times had a significant...
