Midgut morphophysiology in Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, 1855 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Micron, 2013Sitophilus zeamais is one of the most aggressive pests of stored grains, causing a significant decrease in the nutritional quality of the grains and major losses in economic trade. The foraging capacity of this pest is assigned to its highly efficient digestive system.

Transcriptomic analysis of Sitophilus zeamais in response to limonene fumigation
Pest Management Science, 2022AbstractBACKGROUNDFrequent application of chemical fumigants has contributed to the development of resistance in stored‐product pests. Essential oils provide a novel and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chemical pesticides. In this work, the fumigant activity of Taxodium ‘zhongshansha’ essential oil (TZEO) and main active components

Jomon pottery and maize weevils, Sitophilus zeamais, in Japan
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2020Abstract Recent research in Japan using the ‘impression method’ has revealed Jomon vessels containing a large number of plant seed impressions in the clay, including from soybean and adzuki bean seeds. Additional research has been published about a vessel with a large number of maize weevils (Sitophilus zeamais).

Transcriptomic alterations in Sitophilus zeamais in response to allyl isothiocyanate fumigation
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2017To study the fumigation mechanisms of Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) a promising biorational alternative to present fumigants (phosphine and methyl bromide), and provide theoretical basis for its further development in the control of stored grain pests, this research presents a transcriptome analysis of Sitophilus zeamais fumigated with AITC at the ...

Development of Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. in WURLD wheat
Journal of Stored Products Research, 1973Abstract WURLD wheat, a parboiled, lye-peeled product, was tested, along with untreated white wheat and pearled white wheat, and a hard red winter wheat bulgur, for susceptibility to the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. The order of suitability of the wheats for multiplication of the weevils was pearled, untreated, bulgur and WURLD.

Is flint corn naturally resistant to Sitophilus zeamais infestation?
Journal of Stored Products Research, 2015Abstract Sitophilus zeamais (maize weevil) is one of the most destructive pests of maize stored in tropical and subtropical regions. This study determined the resistance of flint corn and dent corn to infestation by S. zeamais (Motschulsky), the maize weevil.

Properties of amylases from midguts of larvae of Sitophilus zeamais and Sitophilus granarius
Insect Biochemistry, 1983Abstract Properties of amylases in homogenates of midguts of larvae of the granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius (L.), and maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motchulsky, were studied. Amylases from both species were active in mildly acid buffers. The pH optima were 4.75 for S. zeamais and 5.0 for S. granarius.

Journal of Stored Products Research, 1965
Abstract The responses of two field strains of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and a field strain of Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. to lindane, malathion, ronnel and diazinon have been compared. Each strain was characterized by its response on exposure to insecticide-impregnated filter paper; lindane median lethal concentrations at 24 hr for S.

Radiographic studies of Sitophilus zeamais Mots. in wheat kernels
Journal of Stored Products Research, 1971Abstract Ninety-nine wheat kernels infested by Sitophilus zeamais Mots., were radiographed daily, to study development from egg to adult and behavior of the insects within the kernels. Enlarged photographic prints were prepared from these radiographs to facilitate interpretation.

Time-Domain NMR Applied to Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky/Wheat Detection
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2019Time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is used for the characterization of wheat infested with Sitophilus zeamais. NMR parameters (T21, T22, P21, P22, and A21/22) were achieved by biexponential analysis combined with a discrete method. Sound wheat, S. zeamais, and S. zeamais/wheat binary mixture are all explored by this method to find the changes
