Developing perennial wildflower strips for use in Mediterranean orchard systems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
For the first time, native perennial wildflower strips were established in Mediterranean Citrus orchards, which increased plant species richness, supported distinct plant communities, and boosted resources expected to support natural enemies. Eight of the sown forb species and one of the tussock‐forming grass species are recommended, and wildflower ...

Kaolin particle films disrupt landing, settling behavior and feeding of Trioza erytrae on lemon plants

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4753-4763, November 2022., 2022
White kaolin significantly reduced the number of Trioza erytreae adults settled on lemon plants compared with control plants. Moreover, the psyllid fed significantly less on phloem in kaolin‐treated plants. Abstract BACKGROUND The citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating disease of citrus crops. Trioza erytreae is a vector

Insecticide‐contaminated honeydew: risks for beneficial insects

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 664-678, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Honeydew is the sugar‐rich excretion of phloem‐feeding hemipteran insects such as aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, and psyllids, and can be a main carbohydrate source for beneficial insects in some ecosystems. Recent research has revealed that water‐soluble, systemic insecticides contaminate honeydew excreted by hemipterans that feed on plants ...

Single‐nucleotide mosaicism in citrus: Estimations of somatic mutation rates and total number of variants

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Most of the hundreds of citrus varieties are derived from spontaneous mutations. We characterized the dynamics of single‐nucleotide mosaicism in a 36‐yr‐old clementine (Citrus ×clementina hort. ex Tanaka) tree, a commercial citrus whose vegetative behavior is known in detail. Whole‐genome sequencing identified 73 reliable somatic mutations, 48%
