Identification of Volatile Compounds Involved in Host Location by Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Phytophagous insects rely on plant volatiles to locate suitable hosts upon which to feed or oviposit. The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is the main pest on cotton crops in the Neotropical region and is attracted to host plant volatiles, especially ...

Influence of Two Acyclic Homoterpenes (Tetranorterpenes) on the Foraging Behavior of Anthonomus grandis Boh [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2016 Previous studies have shown that the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is attracted to constitutive and conspecific herbivore-induced cotton volatiles, preferring the blend emitted by cotton at the reproductive over the vegetative stage. Moreover, this preference was paralleled by the release of the acyclic homoterpenes (tetranorterpenes) (E)-4,8 ...

Nucleases as a barrier to gene silencing in the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 RNA interference (RNAi) approaches have been applied as a biotechnological tool for controlling plant insect pests via selective gene down regulation. However, the inefficiency of RNAi mechanism in insects is associated with several barriers, including ...

Chemosterilant and insecticidal activity of mixed aflatoxins against Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera)
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1978 Abstract A mixture of the four major aflatoxins at 0.06 ppm in food supplied to adult boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis , was an effective chemosterilant.

Karyotypic analysis of the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman
Genetica, 2000 The diploid chromosome number of the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, is 44. Both C- and N-banding techniques of mitotic cells demonstrated constitutive heterochromatin in the p arm of the eight largest chromosomes, the p arm of the X chromosome, and the centromeric region of autosomal groups A-D.

Improving Cry8Ka toxin activity towards the cotton boll weevil (
BMC Biotechnology, 2011 Background The cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) is a serious insect-pest in the Americas, particularly in Brazil. The use of chemical or biological insect control is not effective against the cotton boll weevil because of its endophytic life style.

Transcriptomic Survey of the Midgut of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2014 Anthonomus grandis Boheman is a key pest in cotton crops in the New World. Its larval stage develops within the flower bud using it as food and as protection against its predators. This behavior limits the effectiveness of its control using conventional insecticide applications and biocontrol techniques.

A New qPCR Assay for the Rapid Diagnosis of Anthonomus grandis Subspecies
Insects, 2023 Rapid and accurate identification of Anthonomus grandis subspecies is crucial for effective management and eradication. Current diagnostic methods have limitations in terms of time to diagnosis (up to seven days) and can yield ambiguous results.
