sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps put.) is one of the major pests of wheat in iran. identification of resistantcultivars is an effective integrated pest management (ipm) strategy. to identify the genetic response of wheat and triticale to sunn pest, and determine the relationship between resistance and morpho physiological traits, eight bread wheat breeding lines/cultivars, four durum wheat lin...

Title of Thesis: EVALUATING THE IMPACTS OF CROTOLARIA JUNCEA, SUNN HEMP, ON ARTHROPOD POPULATIONS AND PLANT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN A ZUCCHINI INTER-CROPPED AGROECOSYSTEM Jermaine L. Hinds, Master of Science, 2012 Thesis directed By: Professor Cerruti Hooks Department of Entomology Recently, studies have shown that crop diversification strategies can be effective and sustainable means of supp...

sunn pest is one of the most important cereal pests that affect both grain yield and quality of cerealin iran. one potential control strategy is to use entomopathogenic fungi such as beauveriabassiana vuillemin as mycoinsecticide to control this pest. naturally infested sunn pests inkermanshah province were collected and brought to laboratory. 10 isolates were selected forfurther analysis in th...

We report the isolation and characterization of a new Medicago truncatula hyper-nodulation mutant, designated sunn (super numeric nodules). Similar to the previously described ethylene-insensitive mutant sickle, sunn exhibits a 10-fold increase in the number of nodules within the primary nodulation zone. Despite this general similarity, these two mutants are readily distinguished based on anato...

The number of nodules that form in a legume when interacting with compatible rhizobia is regulated by the plant. We report the identification of a mutant in nodule regulation in Medicago truncatula, like sunn supernodulator (lss), which displays shoot-controlled supernodulation and short roots, similar to sunn mutants. In contrast with the sunn-1 mutant, nodulation in the lss mutant is more ext...

Regular meiotic chromosome segregation requires sister centromeres to mono-orient (orient to the same pole) during the first meiotic division (meiosis I) when homologous chromosomes segregate, and to bi-orient (orient to opposite poles) during the second meiotic division (meiosis II) when sister chromatids segregate. Both orientation patterns require cohesion between sister centromeres, which i...

Abstract Yellow leaf curl disease caused by pepper yellow virus (PepYLCV) and transmitted the whitefly ( Bemisia tabaci ), becomes main problem in major horticultural crops, including chili pepper. The control of insect vector is crucial to overwhelm diseases. experiment was designed verify efficacy integrated focused on barrier crops healthy seedling techniques reduce crowdedness, prevalence v...

One of the most important forms of preharvest damage to wheat is caused by sunn pests. The insects insert their mouth parts into the immature grain and while injecting their saliva suck the milky juices. Flour from damaged wheat results in low baking performance due to the bug proteolytic enzymes’ injected which cause the breakdown of gluten structure in the dough. In the present study three wh...
