an endoparasitoid avoids hyperparasitism by manipulating immobile host herbivore to modify host plant morphology. | many parasitic organisms have an ability to manipulate their hosts to increase their own fitness. in parasitoids, behavioral changes of mobile hosts to avoid or protect against predation and hyperparasitism have been intensively studied, but host manipulation by parasitoids associated with endophytic or immobile hosts has seldom been investigated. we examined the interactions between a gall inducer masakimyia pustulae (diptera: cecidomyiidae) and its parasitoids. this gall midge induces dimorphi ... | 2014 | 25033216 |
measurement of partition coefficients for selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons between isolated plant cuticles and water. | partition coefficients between plant cuticles and water (kcutw) were measured for 10 selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) to evaluate the sorption capacity of plant cuticular layers for hydrophobic organic chemicals. the partitioning properties of pahs between cuticles and water were evaluated by using (1) isolated cuticular layers and (2) leaf homogenate. the abaxial and adaxial cuticular layers of euonymus japonicus were isolated by enzymatic digestion. a third-phase partitioning m ... | 2014 | 25038429 |
effects of stomatal development on stomatal conductance and on stomatal limitation of photosynthesis in syringa oblata and euonymus japonicus thunb. | during leaf development, the increase in stomatal conductance cannot meet photosynthetic demand for co2, thus leading to stomatal limitation of photosynthesis (ls). considering the crucial influences of stomatal development on stomatal conductance, we speculated whether stomatal development limits photosynthesis to some extent. to test this hypothesis, stomatal development, stomatal conductance and photosynthesis were carefully studied in both syringa oblata (normal greening species) and euonymu ... | 2014 | 25443830 |
