Transcriptome Analysis of Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) Bark in Response to Armoured Scale Insect (Hemiberlesia lataniae) Feeding
The kiwifruit cultivar Actinidia chinensis 'Hort16A' is resistant to the polyphagous armoured scale insect pest Hemiberlesia lataniae (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). A cDNA microarray consisting of 17,512 unigenes selected from over 132,000 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) was used to measure the transcriptomic profile of the A. chinensis 'Hort16A' canes in response to a controlled infestation of H. la...
متن کاملGenetic engineering of rice for resistance to homopteran insect pests
The rice brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens) is a serious pest of rice crops throughout Asia, damaging plants both through its feeding behavior and by acting as a virus vector. Like many homopteran pests of crops, it is primarily a phloem feeder, abstracting sap via specially adapted mouthparts. An artificial diet bioassay system for this pest was developed to allow the effects of poten...
متن کاملAlternatives to Chemical Control of Insect Pests
In 2011, practitioners and advocates of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) find themselves addressing agricultural, societal, and political pressures worldwide resulting from human population growth. This growth brings simultaneous burdens of sustaining a steady food supply; these include preventing losses from pests, dealing with increased human global travel, which in turn intensifies opportuni...
متن کاملSynonymy in the armoured scale insect genus Unaspis MacGillivray (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae).
In recent years, an undescribed species of Unaspis MacGillivray (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) has become a damaging pest on the fruit crop Lansium domesticum Corrêa (family Meliaceae) in the Philippines.
متن کاملGENETIC MODELS TO ASSESS THE DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTER-RESISTANCE IN INSECT PESTS EXPOSED TO Bt- SUGARCANE
The use of transgenic sugarcane expressing insecticidal toxins is one potential method of reducing the damage caused by eldana in the South African sugar industry. This approach carries the risk that the pest may quickly develop resistance to the toxin, rendering transgenic sugarcane ineffective in controlling eldana. Insect resistance to the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin is usually control...
