genetically distinct populations in an asian soldier-producing aphid, pseudoregma bambucicola (homoptera: aphididae), identified by dna fingerprinting and molecular phylogenetic analysis.	to estimate genetic structure of a soldier-producing aphid, pseudoregma bambucicola, samples from natural populations throughout southeastern asia were analyzed by a dna fingerprinting technique. we unexpectedly found that p. bambucicola comprises two geographic groups, the northern group and the southern group, which are genetically distinct from each other but morphologically almost indistinguishable. molecular phylogenetic and statistical analyses based on mitochondrial ribosomal dna sequence ...	2001	11277634
characterization and expression analysis of adipokinetic hormone and its receptor in eusocial aphid pseudoregma bambucicola.	aphids display an extraordinary phenotypic plasticity ranging from widespread reproductive and wing polyphenisms to the occurrence of sterile or subfertile soldier morphs restricted to eusocial species of the subfamilies eriosomatinae and hormaphidinae. individual morphs are specialized by their behavior, anatomy, and physiology to perform different roles in aphid societies at different stages of the life cycle. the capacity of the insects to cope with environmental stressors is under the contro ...	2015	26432101
aphicidal activity of an ageraphorone extract from eupatorium adenophorum against pseudoregma bambucicola (homoptera: aphididae, takahashi).	the bamboo aphid, pseudoregma bambucicola, is an important insect pest of bamboo that affects normal bamboo growth and induces sooty molds. the control of p. bambucicola involves the application of chemicals, such as imidacloprid, to which many species are resistant. in this study, we isolate a novel botanical pesticide (9-oxo-10,11-dehydro-ageraphorone) from an eupatorium adenophorum(asteraceae: compositae) petroleum ether extract and test the aphicidal activity of this compound against p. bamb ...	2015	26113513
morphological observation and characterization of the pseudoregma bambucicola with the scanning electron microscope.	both leica microscopic camera system and scanning electron microscopy was used to observe and characterize the feet, back, abdomen, antennae and mouthparts of the pseudoregma bambucicola from the bamboo, bambusa multiplex. the possible functions of all the external morphological characteristics of the p. bambucicola were described and discussed in detail, which offers a basis for further enriching the biology, phylogeny and ecological niche of the p. bambucicola. moreover, the morphological resu ...	2017	29062260
