| nutrigenomics in arma chinensis: transcriptome analysis of arma chinensis fed on artificial diet and chinese oak silk moth antheraea pernyi pupae. | the insect predator, arma chinensis, is capable of effectively controlling many pests, such as colorado potato beetle, cotton bollworm, and mirid bugs. our previous study demonstrated several life history parameters were diminished for a. chinensis reared on an artificial diet compared to a natural food source like the chinese oak silk moth pupae. the molecular mechanisms underlying the nutritive impact of the artificial diet on a. chinensis health are unclear. so we utilized transcriptome infor ... | 2013 | 23593338 |
| performance and cost comparisons for continuous rearing of arma chinensis (hemiptera: pentatomidae: asopinae) on a zoophytogenous artificial diet and a secondary prey. | the impact of a zoophytogenous, insect-free artificial diet and a secondary prey, pupae of chinese oak silk moth antheraea pernyi (guérin-méneville) (lepidoptera: saturniidae), on the developmental rate, life history parameters, and fertility was examined for f6, f9, and f12 consecutive generations for domesticated arma chinensis (fallou) (heteroptera: pentatomidae). this study showed that when fed an insect-free artificial diet during both the nymphal and adult stages, developmental times were ... | 2015 | 26470156 |
| sterol content in the artificial diet of mythimna separata affects the metabolomics of arma chinensis (fallou) as determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. | insects cannot synthesize sterols and must obtain them from plants. therefore, reducing plant sterol content or changing sterol type might be an effective pest control strategy. however, the impacts of these changes on pests' natural predators remain unknown. here, we fed artificial diets with reduced sterol content to mythimna separata (walker) (lepidoptera: noctuidae) and investigated the effects on its natural predator, arma chinensis (fallou) (hemiptera: pentatomidae). reduced sterol content ... | 2017 | 29024237 |
| seasonal parasitism and host specificity of trissolcus japonicus in northern china. | the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål), native to china, japan, and korea, has emerged as a harmful invasive pest of a variety of crops in north america and europe. the asian egg parasitoid trissolcus japonicus has been identified as the most promising agent for classical biological control of invasive h. halys populations. a 4-year study evaluated the fundamental and ecological host ranges of t. japonicus as well as its phenology and impact on h. halys populations in fruit orc ... | 2017 | 28824354 |
| [responses of arma chinensis cold tolerance to rapid cold hardening and underlying physiological mechanisms]. | rapid cold hardening can enhance the cold tolerance of some insects. to explore the effects of different cold hardening induction temperature on the cold tolerance of arma chinensis and related physiological mechanisms, the 3rd generation a. chinensis adults reared indoor were treated with cooling at 15, 10, and 4 degrees c for 4 h, respectively, or with gradual cooling from 15 degrees c for 4 h to 10 degrees c for 4 h, and finally to 4 degrees c for 4 h. the super-cooling point, water content, ... | 2012 | 22720627 |
