Comparison of Wild-Type and Mutant white eye Alleles in Melon Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
TheDNAsequenceof the coding regionof thewild-type andmutant alleles of thewhite eyegene fromthemelonßy,Bactrocera cucurbitaeCoquillett,wasobtained.Themutantwhite eyeallele had a single base pair mutation at the 5 end of intron 4b in the RNA splice recognition site. Due to the disrupted splice recognition site, intron 4bwas not removed from themutant RNA transcript. The resulting mRNA transcript...
متن کاملHaq et al.: Suppression of Remating of Bactrocera cucurbitae Females 839 ABILITY OF GENETIC SEXING STRAIN MALE MELON FLIES (DIPTERA: TEPHRITIDAE) TO SUPPRESS WILD FEMALE REMATING: IMPLICATIONS FOR SIT
For successful application of the sterile insect technique (SIT), wild female insects should not be more receptive to remating after mating with a mass-reared sterile male than after to mating with a wild fertile male. The remating frequencies of melon fly Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillett (Diptera: Tephritidae) females were assessed in field cages with male melon flies from: (1) a male-only gen...
متن کاملExposure to ginger root oil enhances mating success of irradiated, mass-reared males of Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae).
Previous research revealed that exposure to ginger root oil, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, containing the known male attractant (a-copaene) increased the mating success of male Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), from a newly established laboratory colony. The goal of the current study was to determine whether exposure to ginger root oil likewise enhanced the mating competi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Pupal Color-Based Genetic Sexing Strain of the Melon Fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae)
The Þrst genetic sexing system for the melon ßy, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), based on pupal color was developed. The recessive white pupae mutant, wh, was used in a putative chromosome translocation linking the wildtype allele to the male sex. This system permits the separation of males (wildtype brown pupae) from females (mutant white pupae). Results from laboratory studies indicated t...
متن کاملField captures of wild melon fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) with an improved male attractant, raspberry ketone formate.
Field-trapping evaluations of the new male attractant, formic acid 4-(3-oxobutyl) phenyl ester (raspberry ketone formate [RKF]) were conducted in Hawaii with wild populations of melon flies, Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillett (Diptera: Tephritidae), to determine its activity in the field and to evaluate new plastic matrix formulations. All tests were compared with the standard melon fly attractan...
