Insects are sensitive to chemical aspects of their environment, particularly with regard host and mate location. Aphids can select individual or a few closely related plant species from wide range nonhost vegetation (65, 71). This selection relies upon the detection secondary compounds as well primary metabolites associated physiological condition (82). Use long-range volatile cues in aphid-plant aphid-aphid interactions was formerly considered unlikely (78, 108). Never theless, recent work...
Summary 1. Winged morph production in aphids is a phenotypic trait that has traditionally been seen as response to unfavourable environmental conditions. The evidence support this theory reviewed and the ecological evolutionary significance of findings discussed. 2. common assertion poor host‐plant nutritional quality leading increased winged morphs does not always apply, particularly when exceptionally poor. available data are skewed heavily towards Myzus persicae , for species dynamical...

Summary 1. Aphids are notorious pests of world agriculture. Even so, uncertainty persists as to their capacity for successful aerial dispersal. Evidence exists that, under some conditions, aphids can be wind‐borne over long distances, i.e. hundreds kilometers desert or sea. It has been argued, in the recent past, that this phenomenon may part a strategy locate fresh host plants new distant areas. However, proportion these insects successfully colonizing hosts is unknown. 2. Other work using...
Severe water stress was induced in container-grown grapevines during five stages of fruit growth. Stress at each stage reduced fresh yield. During the first three weeks after flowering, losses were greatest and primarily attributable to set. Thereafter loss associated with berry size and, following véraison, failure mature. Fruit which failed mature also had a lower skin pigment content, whether assessed on per-berry or per-unit-surfacearea basis. All from stressed vines late mature, though...
Studies of the structure and cytological development pericarp grape berry are reviewed further studies conducted using contemporary methods histology, histochemistry, electron microscopy traditional proximate analysis to investigate post-anthesis morphology, anatomy, fine tissue composition. The observations presented within a biological ecological context in which pericarp, its primary role, serves as an aid seed dispersal, indicated by developmental changes it undergoes composition after...
Why leaves of some trees turn red in autumn has puzzled biologists for decades, as just before leaf fall the pigments causing coloration are newly synthesized. One idea to explain this apparently untimely investment is that colour signals tree's quality herbivorous insects, particularly aphids. However, it unclear whether indeed less attractive aphids than green leaves. Because lack a photoreceptor, was conjectured could even be indiscernable from ones these insects. Here we show, however,...
ABSTRACT The anatomy of the adhesive organs is described in Megoura viciae Buckton. claws serve as grappling hooks which are locked position by retractor unguis tendon. pulvilli, pliable cuticular sacs, everted from tibiotarsal articulation. They bear a surface adhesive, non-volatile oil, secreted through cuticle. pulvilli blood pressure and withdrawn inside tibia contraction tibial muscles. adhesion these to various types was tested covering over or claw amputation. Pulling forces were...
Background and Aims: Leaf stomatal density, i.e. number of stomata per unit area leaf, is a primary determinant the carbon water relations plants. However, little known about plasticity grapevine density during leaf formation in response to environmental factors. In this study, we determined responses soil temperature atmospheric dioxide development following dormancy gain further understanding relations, adaptation climate change. Methods Results: Using potted plants Vitis vinifera (L.) cv....
Microbial metabolism is considered to have an important influence on the formation of taste, aroma and flavour compounds during vegetable fermentation. However, relationship between microbial gene expression biosynthetic sources flavor are still unclear. In this study, genetic metabolite profiles were used characterize development Sichuan paocai (SCP) Metatranscriptomic results showed that enzyme activity by Enterobacteriaceae Lactobacillaceae strongly involved in SCP Differential 666 genes...
