Distribution of Sunn Pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), in overwintering sites
Sunn Pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), is the most serious pest of wheat in West and Central Asia. Following harvest, the pest migrates from wheat fields to high elevations to escape high summer ...

Registration of Seven Improved Chickpea Breeding Lines Resistant to Leaf Miner.
First source of resistance in durum wheat to Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in Morocco
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), is the major pest of wheat in North Africa. In Morocco, durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf). Husn.) losses due to this pest have been estimated at 32%. Genetic ...
Resistance to insect pests in wheat—rye and Aegilops speltoides Tausch translocation and substitution lines
Various insect pests attack wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that can cause significant grain yield losses to the crop. Farmers usually depend on pesticides, however, smallholder farmers often have limited and ill-timed access ...
Characterization of a prolyl endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Sunn pest) infested wheat
Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps, Puton, infested and uninfested wheat seeds were obtained from the International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo, Syria, with the primary objective to ...
Cloning and characterization of cDNAS encoding carboxypeptidase-like proteins from the gut of Hessian fly larvae [Mayetiola destructor (Say)]
Transcriptomic analysis of the gut from Hessian fly larvae [Mayetiola destructor (Say)] identified nine cDNA clones that encode different carboxypeptidase-like proteins. Sequence comparison revealed that five of the nine ...
Potential for nitrogen fertilization and Hessian fly-resistance to improve Morocco's dryland wheat yields
Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor, Say) is a perennial scourge of cereal production in the Mediterranean region, particularly in North Africa. In Morocco, it accounts for considerable yield losses of wheat (Triticum spp.), ...
Evaluating the cost and gain from genetic resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (say)) in durum wheat in Morocco using recombinant inbred lines
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important food crop in the
Mediterranean region. Hessian fly is the most important insect pest of wheat in the dry land
areas in Morocco. Breeding wheat for genetic ...
Sources of wheat resistance to Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton, in Syria
Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton, is the most damaging insect pest of wheat in West and Central Asia and East Europe. Host plant resistance has been investigated as one component of a total integrated pest management ...
