PATHOGENIC AND LETHAL EFFECTS OF THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES ON THE PEACH FRUIT FLY, BACTROCERA ZONATA (SAUNDERS) AND THE CUCURBIT FRUIT FLY, DACUS CILIATUS (LOEW) (DIPTERA : TEPHRITIDAE) [PDF]

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2011
Laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate the pathogenic and lethal effects of the entomopathogenic nematodes Hb (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar) and Sc (Steinernema carpocapsae All strains) on the full grown larvae, newly formed pupae and seven days old adults of the peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata and the cucurbit fly, Dacus ciliatus.

POPULATION DENSITY, DIURNAL ACTIVITY AND EFFECT OF TRAP HEIGHT ON CAPTURING OF PEACH FRUIT FLY, Bactrocera zonata (SAUNDERS) AND MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY, Ceratitis capitata (WIEDEMANN) IN GUAVA ORCHARDS AT NUBARIA REGION, EGYPT [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2014
Field experiments (from December 2012 to December 2013) were carried out to study the population density, the optimum trap height and optimum time for trapping the peach fruit fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata and Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF), Ceratitis ...

Complex landscapes, complex diets: DNA metabarcoding reveals lady beetle prey richness increases with landcover diversity

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding the capacity of mobile organisms such as insects to utilize resources across different patches in a landscape can reveal strategies for their conservation. Past research suggests that higher levels of non‐crop habitat or landcover diversity in agricultural regions typically benefit generalist predators who can fortify their diets

Toxicity, developmental and histological effects of monoterpenes on peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2019
In the present study, the toxicity of three oxygenated monoterpenes, viz., (R)-carvone, (R)-camphor and (1R, 2S, 5R)-menthol was evaluated against the adults of the peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders). Effects of these monoterpenes on oviposition, adult longevity and ovarian development have also been studied.

PLDC‐Net: A Domain‐Specific Base Model for Plant Leaf Disease Classification Domain Adaptation Tasks

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant diseases are the cause of heavy losses of crop production and, therefore, a big contributor to food shortages. Identifying these diseases as early as possible is important to limit the negative effects that these diseases have on the yields, as slow response time will lead to the spread of diseases and further loss.

Assessment Effect of Gamma Radiation on the Flight Ability of the Peach Fruit Fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders)

open access: yesPakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013
The sterile insect technique is one of the most methods of fruit flies control. Flight ability of the Peach Fruit Fly (PFF), Bactrocera zonata was conducted under laboratory conditions to evaluate the effect of gamma radiation on flight ability of PFF, B. zonata. Pupae of PFF, B.

Functional validation of a white pupae minimal gene construct in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 491-504, April 2026.
An intronless version of the white pupae (wp) gene was engineered to restore the wild type brown puparium color in white pupae phenotype mutants of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Functionality of the minimal gene version (mini‐wp) was verified in vivo, as one copy of mini‐wp successfully restored the wild type phenotype in homozygous ...

Cytological Characterisation of Autosomes and Sex Chromosomes in Tephritid Fruit Flies Bactrocera zonata and Zeugodacus tau (Diptera, Tephritidae)

open access: yesZoodiversity
Two fruit fly species, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders, 1842) and Zeugodacus tau (Walker, 1849) (Diptera: Tephritidae) were studied with regard to their autosomes and sex chromosomes from mitotic metaphase spreads. Both species are native to South and South-

Detection of sex chromosomes in Tephritid pests using R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods to support generic pest management applications

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 665-677, April 2026.
Here, we present R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods developed for the detection of sex chromosome‐linked sequences. We evaluate their performance on newly generated chromosome‐level assemblies of four important Tephritid pest species: Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera zonata, and Anastrepha ludens.

Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 762-787, April 2026.
Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In
