Fecundity in twospotted spider mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) is increased by direct and systemic exposure to imidacloprid.
The effect of imidacloprid on fecundity in twospotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch, was investigated in laboratory experiments using individual females on bean leaf discs. Mites were directly exposed to spray formulations of imidacloprid or fed on discs cut from a systemically treated bean plant. Imidacloprid-treated T. urticae produced 10-26% more eggs during the first 12 d of adult ...
متن کاملInhibition of Type VI Secretion by an Anti-TssM Llama Nanobody
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a secretion pathway widespread in Gram-negative bacteria that targets toxins in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Although most T6SSs identified so far are involved in inter-bacterial competition, a few are directly required for full virulence of pathogens. The T6SS comprises 13 core proteins that assemble a large complex structurally and functionally...
متن کاملSub-lethal effects of dietary neonicotinoid insecticide exposure on honey bee queen fecundity and colony development
Many factors can negatively affect honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) health including the pervasive use of systemic neonicotinoid insecticides. Through direct consumption of contaminated nectar and pollen from treated plants, neonicotinoids can affect foraging, learning, and memory in worker bees. Less well studied are the potential effects of neonicotinoids on queen bees, which may be exposed indi...
متن کاملIcmF Family Protein TssM Exhibits ATPase Activity and Energizes Type VI Secretion*
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) with diversified functions is widely distributed in pathogenic Proteobacteria. The IcmF (intracellular multiplication protein F) family protein TssM is a conserved T6SS inner membrane protein. Despite the conservation of its Walker A nucleotide-binding motif, the NTPase activity of TssM and its role in T6SS remain obscure. In this study, we characterized TssM...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL CONTROL Effects of Systemic Imidacloprid on Coleomegilla maculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
The coccinellid predator Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer) is found throughout the central and eastern United States and is a potential biological control agent for interiorscapes. Currently, the systemic insecticide imidacloprid is widely used in interiorscape and landscape integrated pest management. Effects of imidacloprid on the Þtness and behavior of C. maculata were examined by conÞning grou...
