Population genomics and phylogeography of the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the United States, northern Mexico, and Argentina

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an important pest of commercial cotton across the Americas. In the United States, eradication of this species is complicated by re‐infestations of areas where eradication has ...

Infestation of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on re-sprout of cotton plants

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2015
The destruction of cotton crop residues at the end of the crop cycle is a key strategy for the phytosanitary crop management, since its off-season re-sprout can provide sites for feeding and oviposition of pests such as the boll weevil.

Stink Bugs and Leaffooted Bugs Are Important Fruit, Nut, Seed and Vegetable Pests

EDIS, 2005
Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and leaffooted bugs (Coreidae) are important direct pests of many seed, fruit, vegetable and nut crops. Recently they have become serious pests of cotton because of the reduction in pesticide use resulting from the eradication ...

Identification of Volatile Compounds Involved in Host Location by Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

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 ...

A CC-NB-ARC-LRR Gene Regulates Bract Morphology in Cotton. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This research article focuses on cotton bracts. The authors clone the gene of the frego bract, construct a single‐cell atlas of cotton and excavate genes related to bract type‐related and analyze the mechanism of the different cell morphology of the two bracts.

The oral secretion from Cotton Boll Weevil (Anthonomus grandis) induces defense responses in cotton (Gossypium spp) and Arabidopsis thaliana

Current Plant Biology, 2022
Cotton Boll Weevil (CBW, Anthonomus grandis) is a devastating insect-pest affecting cotton (Gossypium spp), using cotton internal floral structures for larval development, making it difficult to control. Little is known about the mechanism underlying CBW-

Semiochemicals from herbivory induced cotton plants enhance the foraging behaviour of the cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis

, 2012
The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, has been monitored through deployment of traps baited with aggregation pheromone components. However, field studies have shown that the number of insects caught in these traps is significantly reduced during cotton ...
