The envelope fusion protein F of Plutella xylostella granulovirus is a computational analogue of the GP64 envelope fusion protein of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). Granulovirus (GV) F proteins were thought to be unable to functionally replace GP64 in the AcMNPV pseudotyping system. In the present study the F protein of Agrotis segetum GV (AgseGV) was identified experiment...

In recent years, a local, growing population of cutworm in agricultural fields with various plants such as vegetables, horticultural, and ornamental plants has been observed. The scope of our research covered the observation of two species of cutworms: Agrotis segetum (Schiff.) and A. exclamationis (L.), which are the most dominant species in Poland. Cutworms were monitored in the 2005–2009 sea...

The functional properties of the light adaptation system in the superposition eye of the moth Agrotis segetum have been investigated by reflection spectroscopy. The spectrum of the reflected light from the tapetum of dark adapted eyes had a peak at about 580 nm corresponding to a spacing between the reflecting layers in the tapetum of 145 nm. During light adaptation of the eye the observed refl...

The requirements of integrated control clearly indicate the need to use all available non-chemical methods protect crop plantations, before deciding on a chemical method. In addition, there is also provision in protection guidelines about for monitoring and signalling pests recommendation decision support systems (DSS) protection. decision-support system facilitates assists agricultural produce...

In the conditions of Tashkent and Samarkand provinces Uzbekistan, autumn moth ( Agrotis segetum Den. Et Sshiff ) is one most common pests in irrigated agricultural areas. The worms this pest damage hundreds crops belonging to 34 families infect cotton, alfalfa, sugar beet, corn, cereals, legumes, oilseeds vegetables, melons potatoes, as well ivy, wild coconut, sorghum, oats. Autumn nocturnal pi...

This article examines the biology, ecology, phenology, lifestyle of main pests that directly affect growth and development existing seed legume orchards in Uzbekistan, according to studies conducted different regions country 2014-2019, dividing plant into three types. These xylophages damage roots, trunks branches trees; phyllophages - infect leaves; as well carpophagous scientifically based fr...

The noctuid moths Agrotis segetum and Noctua pronuba show peak auditory sensitivity between 15 and 25 kHz, and a maximum sensitivity of 35 dB SPL. A. segetum shows a temporal integration time of 69 ms. It is predicted that bats using high-frequency and short-duration calls will be acoustically less apparent to these moths. Short-duration frequency-modulated (FM) calls of Plecotus auritus are no...

Odorant-binding proteins were studied in the noctuid moths Agrotis segetum, Autographa gamma, Helicoverpa armigera, Heliothis virescens and Spodoptera littoralis using antisera raised against the pheromone-binding protein (PBP) and general odorant-binding protein 2 (GOBP2) of Antheraea polyphemus (Saturniidae). Proteins immunoreacting with these antisera were only found on the antennae and PBP ...
