Olfactory Proteins Mediating Chemical Communication in the Navel Orangeworm Moth, Amyelois transitella
BACKGROUND The navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is the most serious insect pest of almonds and pistachios in California for which environmentally friendly alternative methods of control--like pheromone-based approaches--are highly desirable. Some constituents of the sex pheromone are unstable and could be replaced with parapheromones, which may be designed...
متن کاملDemonstration and Characterization of a Persistent Pheromone Lure for the Navel Orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
The lack of an effective pheromone lure has made it difficult to monitor and manage the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), in the economically important crops in which it is the primary insect pest. A series of experiments was conducted to demonstrate and characterize a practical synthetic pheromone lure for capturing navel orangeworm males. Traps baited with lures...
متن کاملSexual behavior of the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).
To get a better understanding of the mating behavior of the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker), we developed a robust laboratory colony derived from larvae collected in Bakersfield, California and fed on dried, roasted pistachio. In the lab at 25 degrees C, most of the mating activity was observed during the last hour of the scotophase and for the first 30 min of the photophase. Fe...
متن کاملFacultative Mutualism between the Navel Orangeworm Amyelois Transitella (lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Aspergillus Flavus By
The navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is an economic pest of considerable importance by virtue of its habit of attacking damaged or overripe tree nuts and fruits in Californian orchards. Its economic impact is increased by its common association with the highly toxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus Link. Despite the capacity of this fungus-insect association ...
متن کاملSeasonal abundance of the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella, in figs and the effect of peripheral aerosol dispensers on sexual communication
We used flight traps baited with unmated female navel orangeworm Amyelois transitella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to examine, over two growing seasons, seasonal changes in the abundance of males in fig orchards and the impact of release of 48 mg per ha per day of the pheromone component (Z,Z)-11,13-hexadecadienal from peripherally-located timed-release dispensers on the ability of males t...
