Trichoderma metabolites 6-pentyl-α-pyrone and harzianic acid affect the reproduction and microbiome of Bactrocera oleae

Journal of Pest Science
Endosymbiosis is very common between bacteria and insects, and it has been deeply studied for over a century on model insects such as Bactrocera oleae, the key pest of the olives.

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Evaluation of the impact of olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae [Gmelin, 1790], Diptera: Tephritidae) infestation on olive grove in Biskra (Algeria)

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica
Olive production is important to Algeria's economy and ecology, its cultivation has expanded significantly in recent years in Biskra region, increasing both area and production, with olive varieties that adapt well to local conditions.

Identification of leaf volatiles from olive (Olea europaea) and their possible role in the ovipositional preferences of olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]

, 2016
The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), is a monophagous pest that displays an oviposition preference among cultivars of olive (Olea europaea L.). To clarify the oviposition preference, the olive leaf volatiles of three olive cultivars (Cobrançosa ...

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Resistance to the attack of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) of some Sicilian olive cultivars [PDF]

, 2006
Genetic resistance of olive germplasm could be an important tool in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin), the key pest in the Mediterranean olive growing.

Genetic diversity of the mitochondrial ND1 gene in the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Tunisia

Polish Journal of Entomology
For the Tunisian population of the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, little data are available. To examine the genetic diversity of this population, we sequenced a segment of the mitochondrial ND1 gene in 15 olive fly samples collected from olive trees in ...

The dual role of chorion peroxidase in Bactrocera oleae chorion assembly

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2006
In the present study, we reveal for the first time that the Bactrocera oleae chorion peroxidase (bPxd) participates essentially in B. oleae chorion formation and clearly represents the homologous member of Drosophila melanogaster chorion peroxidase (Pxd).

CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.
