Transcriptomic Survey of the Midgut of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Anthonomus grandis Boheman is a key pest in cotton crops in the New World. Its larval stage develops within the flower bud using it as food and as protection against its predators. This behavior limits the effectiveness of its control using conventional insecticide applications and biocontrol techniques. In spite of its importance, little is known about its genome sequence and, more important, ...

متن کاملFactors Affecting Pheromone Production by the Pepper Weevil, Anthonomus eugenii Cano (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Collection Efficiency
Several factors affecting pheromone production by male pepper weevils, Anthonomus eugenii Cano (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) as well as collection efficiency were investigated. Factors studied included: porous polymer adsorbents (Tenax versus Super Q), male age, time of day, male density, and male diet. Super Q was found to be a superior adsorbent for the male-produced alcohols and geranic acid a...
متن کاملChemosterilant and insecticidal activity of mixed aflatoxins against Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera).
Certain strains of the fungi Aspergillus flc~rus and A. parasitic-us produce a group of mycotoxic metabolites commonly known as the aflatoxins (Diener and Davis, 1969). The aflatoxins have been studied extensively since they were found first in peanuts, stored grains, and other agricultural products (Golumbic and Kulick, 1969). Aflatoxin B, (AFB,) is a known hepatocarcinogen and hepatotoxic age...
