Insects, 2023 Many insects rely on ancient symbiotic bacterial associations for essential nutrition. Auchenorrhyncha commonly harbor two obligate symbionts: Sulcia (Bacteroidetes) and a proteobacterial partner that supplies essential amino acids lacking in their plant-

The genomic basis of evolutionary novelties in a leafhopper
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2022 Abstract Evolutionary innovations generate phenotypic and species diversity. Elucidating the genomic processes underlying such innovations is central to understanding biodiversity. In this study, we addressed the genomic basis of evolutionary novelties in the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter ( Homalodisca ...

Can cover crops reduce leafhopper abundance in vineyards?
California Agriculture, 1998 In 3 of 4 vineyards we studied, late-season leafhopper density was lower on vines in cover cropped plots than in plots with no cover crops. However, the level of leafhopper reduction (about 15%) was rarely economically important and the

Diversity and abundance of leafhoppers in Canadian vineyards [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2014 Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are pests of many temperate crops, including grapevines (Vitis species). Uncontrolled populations can induce direct and indirect damage to crops due to feeding that results in significant yield losses and increased mortality in infected vineyards due to virus, bacteria, or phytoplasmas vectored by leafhoppers.

Comparative Morphology and Chemical Composition of Plant Leaf and their Relation with Population Density of Certain Piercing- Sucking Insect Pests [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2017 Both leaf morphology and chemistry play a potential role in predicating with the population density of organisms. The current study was conducted, at the experimental farm of Mansoura University, to examine the effect of host plant species and their ...
