METHODS OF MOLECULAR DISCRIMINATION OF CITRUS MEALYBUG FROM VINE MEALYBUG

Acta Horticulturae, 2011
The correct identification of pests is a basic requirement in IPM strategies for crop protection. In the case of Planococcus species the discrimination between similar taxa using morphological features is sometimes difficult because it is based on few microscopic characteristics not easily detectable.

In praise of mealybugs

Journal of Genetics, 2018
The fascinating chromosomal cycle leading to facultative heterochromatization in the mealybugs has been a challenging system for mechanistic understanding of the phenomenon of genomic imprinting and epigenetics. The elegant cytological dissection of the various processes reported in the literature is equally fascinating for the researchers of current ...

Imprinted Facultative Heterochromatization in Mealybugs

Genetica, 2003
In lecanoid Coccids, or mealybugs, the male development is accompanied by the facultative heterochromatization of the entire, paternally derived, haploid chromosome set. This epigenetic phenomenon occurs in all the cells of mid-cleavage male embryos.

Genomic imprinting in the mealybugs

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2006
The coccid insects (Hemiptera; Sternorrhyncha; Aphidiformes; Coccoidea; Pseudococcidae) are well suited to study not only the mechanisms of genomic imprinting but also facultative heterochromatization, a phenomenon well exemplified by inactivation of the X chromosome in female mammals.

Culturing of Mealybugs

2016
Culturing of mealybugs is essential to rear the natural enemies, particularly parasitoids and predators for use in the field. Biological control programmes of mealybug species have relied on sprouting potatoes, pumpkins and butternut for rearing of both mealybugs and their natural enemies.

Mealybug wilt disease.

2015
Mealybug wilt disease (MWD) is a serious field disease of pineapples worldwide that was first described in Hawaii in 1910. MWD is thought to be caused by a complex involving viruses, mealybugs and ants. The viruses are transmitted by mealybugs, which in turn are tended by ants. Although a number of distinct viruses have been associated with the disease,
