Secondary metabolites related to plant defense against natural enemies and enzymes involved in their biosynthesis vary during gall development. We assessed the differential gene expression related to defensive metabolites in cynipid wasp galls of Quercus

Studies on the resistance of chestnut trees to chestnut gall wasps II
1. Host tissues such as young leaves or stipules of chestnut trees around larva began to grow misshapenly, envelop the parasite and form galls from late July. In late August, gall tissues embraced the wasp commpletely to build a larval cavity. Since this period, in susceptible varieties individual gall became to adhere each other and more advanced ...

In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

The mortality of pupae in stems lying on the ground during hibernation was 51.7% in 2003. The emergence of adults in 2003 and 2004 was monitored from late April to early July by photoeclectors placed on fields that grew poppy the previous year.

ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the spread of invasive species, yet their accuracy over time and the influence of climate data resolution remain unclear. Here, we examine the capacity of SDMs to predict the distribution and short‐term expansion of the invasive gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus, and compare the ...

ABSTRACT Globally, citrus production areas are threatened by greening diseases, also known as Huánglóngbíng (HLB), associated with phloem‐limited gram‐negative species of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter. Those pathogens are transmitted by either the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama 1908 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), or the African citrus ...

Genomic breeding for diameter growth and tolerance to Leptocybe gall wasp and Botryosphaeria/Teratosphaeria fungal disease complex in Eucalyptus grandis [PDF]
Supplementary Figure 1. Trait distribution plots of the trial sites. The top row is the diameter growth histogram plot, the middle row is the histogram plot for Lepto incidence scores, and the bottom row is the BotryoTera incidence scores.

This study demonstrates how climate‐driven seasonal variation shapes the chemical phenotypes of five sympatric fig wasp species. We show that cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are sex‐ and species‐specific signals linked to male mate choice and functional guilds, revealing a chemical basis for niche differentiation within a shared host system. Importantly,

INVASIVENESS OF AN EXOTIC GALL WASP IS INFLUENCED BY INTERACTIONS WITH EXOTIC AND ENDEMIC ORGANISMS [PDF]
American chestnut was once a crucial component of North American forests, but it was functionally eliminated by the introduction of the chestnut blight fungus.
