Massive Shift in Gene Expression during Transitions between Developmental Stages of the Gall Midge, Mayetiola Destructor
Mayetiola destructor is a destructive pest of wheat and has six developmental stages. Molecular mechanisms controlling the transition between developmental stages remain unknown. Here we analyzed genes that were expressed ...
Effect of flushing frequency on emitter clogging in microirrigation with effluents
Flushing is an important maintenance task that removes accumulated particles in microirrigation
laterals that can help to reduce clogging problems. The effect of three dripline flushing frequency
treatments (no flushing, ...
Integrated joint pest management strategies in the presence of control spillovers
ntegrated pest management has proved cost-effective in coping with crop pests. This article identifies characteristics of pests, controls and economic incentives that may make the development of an integrated joint pest ...
Genes Expressed Differentially in Hessian Fly Larvae Feeding in Resistant and Susceptible Plants
The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor, is a destructive pest of wheat worldwide and mainly controlled by deploying resistant cultivars. In this study, we investigated the genes that were expressed differentially between ...
Hessian Fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) Interactions With Barley, Rice, and Wheat Seedlings
A choice test revealed that Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), adults deposited approximate to 3 times more eggs on wheat (Triticum spp.), seedlings than on barley (Hordeum spp.) or rice, ...
