Genetic Structure ofSesamia nonagrioides(Lefebvre) Populations in the Mediterranean Area [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2008
The Mediterranean corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a major pest of maize in the Mediterranean area. Transgenic Bt maize expressing the Cry1Ab toxin from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis can effectively control this pest. The characterization of S.

Inducible Maize Defense Mechanisms Against the Corn Borer Sesamia nonagrioides: A Transcriptome and Biochemical Approach

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012
In spite of multiple studies elucidating individual defense mechanisms against stalk borer feeding, little information is available about the plant response to these members of Lepidoptera.

Inheritance of Antibiosis to Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1999
The stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefebvre) is the main pest of maize, Zea mays L., in northwestern Spain. The inheritance of the stalk resistance to this maize borer is unknow. The objective of this work was to study the inheritance of antibiosis to Sesamia in maize stalks.

Abundance of Sesamia nonagrioides (Lef.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on the Edges of the Mediterranean Basin

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Organisms inhabiting seasonal environments are able to synchronize their life cycles with seasonal cycles of biotic and abiotic factors. Diapause, a state of low metabolic activity and developmental arrest, is used by many insect species to cope with ...

Influence of prolonged dietary experience during the larval stage on novel odour preferences in adults of noctuid stem borer moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
In Lepidoptera, larval dietary experience of volatile cues can induce adult preference for these cues. However, such induction may require several generations, depending in part on the degree of specialization of the insects.

Spectroscopic studies of Manduca sexta and Sesamia nonagrioides chorion protein structure

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 1995
The secondary structure of Manduca sexta and Sesamia nonagrioides chorion proteins has been studied in intact chorions using laser-Raman and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy and in a solution containing extracted and reassembled chorion proteins using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.

Effects of selection for resistance to Sesamia nonagrioides on maize yield, performance and stability under infestation with Sesamia nonagrioides and Ostrinia nubilalis in Spain [PDF]

Annals of Applied Biology, 2010
A maize synthetic population was improved for resistance to the Mediterranean corn borer (MCB, Sesamia nonagrioides) while maintaining yield. The objectives of this research were to investigate whether yield and yield stability of the maize synthetic population named EPS12 were affected by selection for MCB resistance; also to determine which genotypic

Influence of Dietary Experience on the Induction of Preference of Adult Moths and Larvae for a New Olfactory Cue. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In Lepidoptera, host plant selection is first conditioned by oviposition site preference of adult females followed by feeding site preference of larvae. Dietary experience to plant volatile cues can induce larval and adult host plant preference.
