Oxidative Enzyme Changes in Sorghum Infested by Shoot Fly
This research investigated the role of oxidative enzymes in the defense response of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poales: Poaceae), to the sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae). Changes in polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activity and total protein content were observed in resistant and susceptible sorghum genotypes in response to A. soccata feeding. Resista...
متن کاملInheritance of Resistance to Sorghum Shoot Fly, Atherigona soccata in Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
Sorghum production is affected by a wide array of biotic constraints, of which sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is the most important pest, which severely damages the sorghum crop during the seedling stage. Host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, A. soccata. To understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evalua...
متن کاملMultiple-resistance to sorghum shoot fly, spotted stemborer and sugarcane aphid in sorghum
Sorghum is one of the most important cereal crops in the semi-arid tropics. Several insect pests damage it. The possibility of identifying genotypes with multiple resistance to these pests and transferring the relevant genes into high-yielding varieties and hybrids has been considered as an attractive approach to reducing yield losses. A set of 12 cytoplasmic male-sterile and maintainer lines, ...
متن کاملScreening for Resistance to Sorghum Shoot Bug and Spider Mites
Sorghum is one of the most important cereals in the semi-arid tropics. Nearly 150 insect specieshave been reported to damage the crop worldwide, causing an estimated loss of over US$ 1 000million annually. Of these, shoot fly, stem borers, greenbug, sugarcane aphid, shoot bug, spidermites, armyworms, midge, head bug, and head caterpillars are the major pests. Plant resistance to...
متن کاملCharacterization of oxidative enzyme changes in buffalograsses challenged by Blissus occiduus.
This research investigated the role of oxidative enzymes in the defense response of buffalograss, Buchloë dactyloides (Nuttall) Engelmann, to Blissus occiduus Barber. Changes in catalase and peroxidase activity were observed in both resistant and susceptible buffalograsses in response to chinch bug feeding. Susceptible plants were shown to have a lower level of catalase activity compared with t...
