Molecular Characterization of the Aphis gossypii Olfactory Receptor Gene Families
The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is a polyphagous pest that inflicts great damage to cotton yields worldwide. Antennal olfaction, which is extremely important for insect survival, mediates key behaviors such as host preference, mate choice, and oviposition site selection. In insects, odor detection is mediated by odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs), which ensure the s...
متن کاملAphis gossypii
BIOLOGY/ECOLOGY Dispersal mechanisms Flight range of winged adults is very limited. Long-range dispersal of eggs, immature stages and adults is manmediated with the transport of infested plant material. Reproduction The taxonomic status of this alien aphid is problematic, and hence the interpretation of biological information is difficult. Moreover, different biotypes exhibiting host preference...
متن کاملSurvey of Aphis Gossypii on Crop Plants
Tests were conducted to determine if age of mass reared adult female Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), affected the viability of their offspring. Samples of eggs (0.4 g each) were collected on five consecutive days (4 to 8 d past adult emergence) from individual 660-liter adult colony screen cages and were reared in separate trays containing 0.5 liter of artificial diet...
متن کاملHypersensitive response to Aphis gossypii Glover in melon genotypes carrying the Vat gene.
Aphis gossypii Glover causes direct and indirect damage to Cucumis melo L. crops. To decrease the harmful effects of this pest, one of the most economically and environmentally acceptable options is to use genetically resistant melon varieties. To date, several sources of resistance carrying the Vat gene are used in melon breeding programmes that aim to prevent A. gossypii colonization and the ...
متن کاملInfluences of fertilization on Aphis gossypii and insecticide usage
Fertilization levels for ornamental crops may influence pest population dynamics, crop quality, and pest management strategy. We examined the effect of fertilization on population growth and within-plant distribution of melon or cotton aphid, Aphis gossypiiGlover, on potted chrysanthemum, Dendranthema grandiflora (Tzvelev). In terms of pest management implications, we also investigated the effe...
