Jumping performance of planthoppers (Hemiptera, Issidae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2009
SUMMARYThe structure of the hind limbs and the kinematics of their movements that propel jumping in planthopper insects (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha,Fulgoroidea, Issidae) were analysed. The propulsion for a jump was delivered by rapid movements of the hind legs that both move in the same plane beneath the body and parallel to its longitudinal axis, as ...

A long-distance migration analysis of rice planthoppers using computer simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Since long-distance migration of rice planthoppers immigrating into Japan in the Bai-u rainy season had been analyzed by using 2-dimensional methods, there were limitations of precision in both estimating migration sources and predicting migrations.

Diversity of Phytoplasmas Infecting Plants and Insects in Iran Reveals Two Novel Ribosomal Subgroups

open access: yesInsects
Phytoplasmas are obligate bacterial pathogens transmitted by phloem-feeding insects and responsible for severe diseases in numerous crops worldwide. In Iran, insect-associated phytoplasma transmission pathways remain poorly resolved, particularly at fine

RNA-Sequencing Reveals Differentially Expressed Rice Genes Functionally Associated with Defense against BPH and WBPH in RILs Derived from a Cross between RP2068 and TN1

open access: yesRice, 2021
Background Rice is staple food for over two billion people. Planthoppers like BPH and WBPH occur together in most of rice growing regions across Asia and cause extensive yield loss by feeding and transmission of disease-causing viruses.

Oviposition Behaviour, Nymphal Development and Below‐Ground Olfactory Preference of Pentastiridius leporinus on 12 Beta vulgaris Genotypes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The planthopper Pentastiridius leporinus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the primary vector of two phloem‐restricted prokaryotes, which can cause the disease syndrome de basses richesses (SBR) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Heavy infestations of this insect have contributed to significant yield losses in Central Europe, but little is known about ...

A reovirus in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 1991
A new virus, belonging to the reovirus group, was found in an apparently healthy colony of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, and was referred to as the Nilaparvata lugens reovirus (NLRV). The virus was found in the cytoplasm of the insect cells, sometimes associated with tubular structures, which is one of the characteristic features in ...

First record of Pochazia shantungensis (Chou & Lu, 1977) (Hemiptera: Ricaniidae) in Bulgaria: alien and potentially invasive species on Via Pontica

open access: yesHistoria Naturalis Bulgarica
The current study documents the first record of Pochazia shantungensis, an invasive pest species in the Ricaniidae family, within Bulgaria. Two specimens were observed and a single male specimen was collected in Burgas, marking a significant expansion in

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

A Cripavirus in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2016
A Cripavirus-like long unique sequence was identified during transcriptome sequencing of the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens. This unique sequence demonstrated high similarity with the whole-genome sequence of cricket paralysis virus, including 5' and 3' untranslated regions; thus we considered it the whole genome of a new virus. We propose
