larvicidal activities of three plants against filarial vector culex quinquefasciatus say (diptera: culicidae).the present study was carried out to establish the larvicidal properties of crude extracts of three plants, viz. carica papaya, murraya paniculata and cleistanthus collinus against culex quinquefasciatus as target species. the relative efficacy of the plant extracts in vector control was as follows: c. papaya seed extract > m. paniculata fruit extract > m. paniculata leaf extract > c. collinus leaf extract. result of log-probit analysis (at 95% confidence level) revealed that lc(50) and lc(95) v ...200919644705
the evolution of cma bands in citrus and related genera.most species of citrus and related genera display a similar karyotype with 2n = 18 and a variable number of terminal heterochromatic blocks positively stained with chromomycin a(3) (cma(+) bands). some of these blocks are 45s rdna sites, whereas others may correspond to the main gc-rich satellite dna found in several citrus species. in the present work, the distribution of the 45s rdna and the main satellite dna isolated from c. sinensis (cssat) were investigated by in situ hybridization in seve ...201020490650
the effects of host, geographic origin, and gender on the thermal requirements of diaphorina citri (hemiptera: psyllidae).diaphorina citri kuwayama (hemiptera: psyllidae) is the vector of the bacteria that causes citrus greening and is considered one of the world's most important citrus diseases. we examined how host, geographic region, and gender affect the thermal requirements of d. citri. the insects were reared in climatic chambers at constant temperatures of 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, and 32 +/- 1 degrees c, 70 +/- 10% rh, and a 14 h photophase. host plants for d. citri included orange (citrus sinensis [rutaceae] ...201020388302
responses of the asian citrus psyllid to volatiles emitted by the flushing shoots of its rutaceous host plants.diaphorina citri kuwayama (hemiptera: psyllidae) carries candidatus liberibacter spp., the putative causal agents of huanglongbing. d. citri reproduces and develops only on the flushing shoots of its rutaceous host plants. here we examined whether d. citri is attracted to host plant odors and a mixture of synthetic terpenes. tests conducted in a vertically oriented y-tube olfactometer showed that both males and females preferentially entered the y-tube arm containing the odor from the young shoo ...201020388295
multimodal cues drive host-plant assessment in asian citrus psyllid (diaphorina citri).asian citrus psyllid (diaphorina citri) transmits the causal agent of huanglongbing, a devastating disease of citrus trees. in this study we measured behavioral responses of d. citri to combinations of visual, olfactory, and gustatory stimuli in test arenas. stimuli were presented to the psyllids in droplets or lines of an emulsified wax formulation in two different arena types in no-choice tests. first, when placed on a colored ring situated halfway between the center and perimeter of a petri ...201122217766

essential oil variation from twenty two genotypes of citrus in brazil-chemometric approach and repellency against diaphorina citri kuwayama.the chemical composition of volatile oils from 22 genotypes of citrus and related genera was poorly differentiated, but chemometric techniques have clarified the relationships between the 22 genotypes, and allowed us to understand their resistance to d. citri. the most convincing similarities include the synthesis of (z)-β-ocimene and (e)-caryophyllene for all 11 genotypes of group a. genotypes of group b are not uniformly characterized by essential oil compounds. when stimulated with odor sourc ...201627338332
metabolomic comparative analysis of the phloem sap of curry leaf tree (bergera koenegii), orange jasmine (murraya paniculata), and valencia sweet orange (citrus sinensis) supports their differential responses to huanglongbing.orange jasmine, murraya paniculata and curry leaf tree, bergera koenegii are alternative hosts for diaphorina citri, the vector of candidatus liberibacter asiaticus (clas), the pathogen of huanglongbing (hlb) in citrus. d. citri feeds on the phloem sap where clas grows. it has been shown that orange jasmine was a better host than curry leaf tree to d. citri. in addition, clas can infect orange jasmine but not curry leaf tree. here, we compared the phloem sap composition of these 2 plants to the ...201627763819
host plant affects morphometric variation of diaphorina citri (hemiptera: liviidae).the asian citrus psyllid (acp), diaphorina citri kuwayama, is one of the most serious citrus pests worldwide due to its role as vector of huanglongbing or citrus greening disease. while some optimal plant species for acp oviposition and development have been identified, little is known of the influence of host plants on acp size and shape. our goal was to determine how size and shape of acp wing and body size varies when development occurs on different host plants in a controlled rearing environ ...201627833820
