Control of tea aphids via attracting the parasitic wasp, Aphelinus sp. with synthetic semiochemicals

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The tea aphid (Toxoptera aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe) is an important tea plant pest insect worldwide. The parasitoid wasp, Aphelinus sp., is one of the most important natural enemies of the tea aphid in China. Unfortunately, Aphelinus sp. alone cannot

Evaluation of Mosquito Attractant Candidates Using a High-Throughput Screening System for Aedes aegypti (L.), Culex quinquefasciatus Say. and Anopheles minimus Theobald (Diptera: Culicidae)

Insects, 2021
Several types of olfactometers have been used to evaluate mosquito responses to agents that mimic natural volatiles that repel or attract. The Y-tube olfactometer has been widely used to study repellents and attractants, while the high-throughput ...

Chemotactic response and adaptation dynamics in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2010
Adaptation of the chemotaxis sensory pathway of the bacterium Escherichia coli is integral for detecting chemicals over a wide range of background concentrations, ultimately allowing cells to swim towards sources of attractant and away from repellents ...

Self-Generated Gradients Yield Exceptionally Robust Steering Cues

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Chemotaxis is a widespread mechanism that allows migrating cells to steer to where they are needed. Attractant gradients may be imposed by external sources, or self-generated, when cells create their own steep local gradients by breaking down a prevalent,
