| deterrence of repeated oviposition in sorghum shootflyatherigona soccata. | the sorghum shootfly,atherigona soccata, under low population density conditions lays one egg per sorghum plant. possible regulatory mechanisms of this oviposition behavior are reported. the presence of an egg thoroughly washed and reattached to a leaf does not deter further oviposition, indicating the absence of visual cues. when washings from eggs were sprayed on sorghum plants, or when plants from which eggs had been removed were presented to a gravid female, significant deterrence was observ ... | 1981 | 24420750 |
| influence of cytoplasmic male sterility on expression of different mechanisms of resistance in sorghum to atherigona soccata (diptera: muscidae). | atherigona soccata (rondani) (diptera: muscidae) is one of the most important pests of sorghum, sorghum bicolor (l.) moench, in asia, africa, and the mediterranean europe. exploitation of cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) for hybrid production has resulted in considerable narrowing of the genetic base and may increase the vulnerability of this crop to insect pests. therefore, we studied the expression of different mechanisms of resistance in sorghum to a. soccata in cms (a) and maintainer (b) lin ... | 2006 | 16937704 |
| electrophysiological and behavioral responses of sorghum shoot fly, atherigona soccata, to sorghum volatiles. | the sorghum shoot fly, atherigona soccata, is an economically important pest of sorghum in asia, mediterranean europe and africa. field observations have suggested that shoot fly susceptible sorghum varieties emit attractive volatiles, but the compounds involved were unknown. the objective of the present study was to identify plant-derived attractants for a. soccata. headspace samples were collected from the susceptible cultivar 'swarna,' and when female a. soccata were exposed to the volatiles ... | 2010 | 21082333 |
| constitutive and inducible resistance to atherigona soccata (diptera: muscidae) in sorghum bicolor. | host plant resistance is one of the important components for minimizing the losses because of sorghum shoot fly, atherigona soccata (diptera: muscidae) attack. therefore, we studied the constitutive and inducible biochemical mechanisms of resistance to a. soccata in a diverse array of sorghum genotypes to identify lines with diverse mechanisms of resistance to this insect. fifteen sorghum genotypes with different levels of resistance to a. soccata were evaluated. methanol extracts of 10-d old da ... | 2012 | 22812149 |
| oxidative enzyme changes in sorghum infested by shoot fly. | this research investigated the role of oxidative enzymes in the defense response of sorghum, sorghum bicolor (l.) moench (poales: poaceae), to the sorghum shoot fly, atherigona soccata rondani (diptera: muscidae). changes in polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activity and total protein content were observed in resistant and susceptible sorghum genotypes in response to a. soccata feeding. resistant plants exhibited higher levels of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities and total protein con ... | 2014 | 25480976 |
| inheritance of resistance to sorghum shoot fly, atherigona soccata in sorghum, sorghum bicolor (l.) moench. | sorghum production is affected by a wide array of biotic constraints, of which sorghum shoot fly, atherigona soccata is the most important pest, which severely damages the sorghum crop during the seedling stage. host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, a. soccata. to understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evaluated 10 parents, 45 f1's and their reciprocals in replicated trials during the rainy and postrainy seaso ... | 2016 | 27200020 |
| introgression of shoot fly (atherigona soccata l. moench) resistance qtls into elite post-rainy season sorghum varieties using marker assisted backcrossing (mabc). | shoot fly (atherigona soccata l. moench) is a serious pest in sorghum production. management of shoot fly using insecticides is expensive and environmentally un-safe. developing host-plant resistance is the best method to manage shoot fly infestation. number of component traits contribute for imparting shoot fly resistance in sorghum and molecular markers have been reported which were closely linked to qtls controlling these component traits. in this study, three qtls associated with shoot fly r ... | 2017 | 28919901 |
