چکیده
13 Mealybugs (Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) are sap-sucking plant parasites that harbor 14 bacterial endosymbionts within specialized organs. Previous studies have identified two 15 subfamilies, Pseudococcinae and Phenacoccinae, within mealybugs, and determined the 16 primary endosymbionts (P-endosymbionts) of the Pseudococcinae to be β Proteobacteria 17 (Candidatus Tremblaya princeps) containing γ Proteobacteria secondary symbionts. Here 18 the P-endosymbionts of phenacoccine mealybugs are characterized based on 16S rRNA 19 from bacteria of 20 species of phenacoccine mealybugs and four outgroup Puto species 20 (Coccoidea: Putoidae), and aligned to more than 100 published 16S rRNA sequences 21 Copyright © 2010, American Society for Microbiology and/or the Listed Authors/Institutions.

Evolutionary relationships of flavobacterial and enterobacterial endosymbionts with their scale insect hosts (Hemiptera: Coccoidea).
Flavobacteria and Enterobacteriaceae have been previously reported as scale insect endosymbionts. The purpose of this work was twofold: first, to screen different scale insect families for the presence of these endosymbionts by PCR analyses and second, to elucidate the history of cophylogeny between these bacteria and the insects by analysing a portion of 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene sequences by...

Mealybugs (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Pseudococcidae) are plant sap-sucking insects that have within their body cavities specialized cells containing prokaryotic primary endosymbionts (P-endosymbionts). The Pendosymbionts have the unusual property of containing within their cytoplasm prokaryotic secondary endosymbionts (S-endosymbionts) [C. D. von Dohlen, S. Kohler, S. T. Alsop, and W. R. McManus, N...
متن کاملAre some prepupae and pupae of male mealybugs and root mealybugs (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Pseudococcidae and Rhizoecidae) mobile?
It is hypothesised here that some mealybug (Pseudococcidae) and root mealybug (Rhizoecidae) prepupae and pupae are mobile. The prepupa and pupa of the mealybug Promyrmococcus dilli Williams and the prepupa of the root mealybug Ripersiella malschae (Williams) are described and illustrated and their probable mobility is discussed. It is also suggested that the prepupae and pupae of the mealybug M...

شپشک آردآلود Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley در تاریخ 12/10/1387 از بندرعباس و میناب در استان هرمزگان از روی ختمی چینی Hibiscus rosa-sinensis جمع‌آوری شد. این شپشک که برای اولین بار از ایران گزارش می‌شود، در پاکستان و هند یکی از آفات خسارت‌زا روی محصول پنبه است و سالانه مبالغ هنگفتی صرف کنترل شیمیایی آن می‌گردد. این شپشک خسارت قابل ملاحظه‌ای به گیاهان زینتی در شهرها و درختان میوه، به‌ویژه مرکبات...
متن کاملMolecular evidence for ongoing complementarity and horizontal gene transfer in endosymbiotic systems of mealybugs
Intracellular bacterial supply of essential amino acids is common among sap-feeding insects, thus complementing the scarcity of nitrogenous compounds in plant phloem. This is also the role of the two mealybug endosymbiotic systems whose genomes have been sequenced. In the nested endosymbiotic system from Planococcus citri (Pseudococcinae), "Candidatus Tremblaya princeps" and "Candidatus Moranel...
