| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 january 2009-30 april 2009. | this article documents the addition of 283 microsatellite marker loci to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: agalinis acuta; ambrosia artemisiifolia; berula erecta; casuarius casuarius; cercospora zeae-maydis; chorthippus parallelus; conyza canadensis; cotesia sesamiae; epinephelus acanthistius; ficedula hypoleuca; grindelia hirsutula; guadua angustifolia; leucadendron rubrum; maritrema novaezealandensis; meretrix meretrix; nilaparvata lugens; ... | 2009 | 21564911 |
| acquired immunity of transgenic torenia plants overexpressing agmatine coumaroyltransferase to pathogens and herbivore pests. | we investigated the ability of transgenic torenia (scrophulariaceae) plants to resist fungi and arthropod herbivores. torenia hybrida cv. summerwave blue was manipulated to produce arabidopsis agmatine coumaroyltransferase (atact). this catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of hydroxycinnamic acid amides (hcaas) which function in defence. transgenic plants accumulated substantial hcaas, predominantly p-coumaroylagmatine, and the hcaas were isomerized from the trans-form to the cis-form in ... | 2012 | 23008754 |
| development and reproduction of five tetranychus species (acari: tetranychidae): do they all have the potential to become major pests? | the objective of this study was to investigate whether four spider mite species, tetranychus ludeni, t. phaselus, t. piercei and t. truncatus, currently with insignificant economic impact, have the potential to achieve the same status as t. urticae, which until now has been considered as the most serious tetranychid pest species in orchards and greenhouses. we investigated the effect of temperature on development, survival and oviposition at 11 constant temperatures ranging from 15 to 40 °c at i ... | 2015 | 26014647 |
| biological performance of the predatory mite neoseiulus idaeus (phytoseiidae): a candidate for the control of tetranychid mites in brazilian soybean crops. | the soybean (glycine max (l.): fabaceae) is considered the most important agricultural crop in brazil. phytophagous tetranychid mites as mononychellus planki mcgregor, tetranychus ludeni zacher and t. urticae koch have been considered pest in soybean crops. neoseiulus idaeus denmark & muma (phytoseiidae) is a predatory mite of t. ludeni and t. urticae. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the biological performance of n. idaeus when fed on t. urticae, t. ludeni and m. planki, coming from ... | 2016 | 27533728 |
| comparative effectiveness of an integrated pest management system and other control tactics for managing the spider mite tetranychus ludeni (acari: tetranychidae) on eggplant. | the effect of an integrated pest management (ipm) package, host plant resistance, chrysoperla carnea predation and neem oil were evaluated against the spider mite tetranychus ludeni on eggplant (solanum melongena l.) fields in 1996 and 1997, by estimating the mite population density and yield levels. compared with the ipm package (panruti local, c. carnea plus neem oil), the standard (susceptible) eggplant variety (mdu1) grown by farmers and treated with an acaricide (dicofol) had significantly ... | 2001 | 12465852 |
| down-regulation of plant defence in a resident spider mite species and its effect upon con- and heterospecifics. | herbivorous spider mites occurring on tomato plants (solanum lycopersicum l.) cope with plant defences in various manners: the invasive tetranychus evansi reduces defences below constitutive levels, whereas several strains of t. urticae induce such defences and others suppress them. in the mediterranean region, these two species co-occur on tomato plants with t. ludeni, another closely related spider mite species. unravelling how this third mite species affects plant defences is thus fundamental ... | 2016 | 26369779 |
