Abstract Background Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith), or fall armyworm, is one of major migratory agricultural pests with a wide range hosts. The effect different hosts (maize and kidney bean) on the growth reproduction S. were investigated using age-stage, two-sex life table method. Results results showed that could complete its entire cycle both hosts, albeit significantly development reproduction. durations larval pupal prolonged whereas adult lifespan was shortened bean compared to...
The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is a major invasive pest of commercially important crops worldwide. We compared the activities superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) expressions two putative SOD POD sequences in second instar larvae adults after three generations adaptation to kidney bean broad plants. results showed that SOD, POD, CAT were significantly higher than those larvae. both fed on (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants versus (Vicia faba)...
Exogenous calcium (Ca) has been used to induce host plant resistance in response abiotic and biotic stresses, including from thrips attack. The aim of this study was determine whether exogenously applied Ca affects the performance Frankliniella occidentalis. We assessed development time, total longevity, reproduction, population parameters F. occidentalis, its preference choice on Ca-treated or untreated control kidney bean plants under laboratory conditions. results showed that occidentalis...
Abstract The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is an important invasive pest that causes serious damage to vegetables in China. Changes digestive enzyme activities (α‐amylase, trypsin, and tryptase) gene expression levels of F. were examined after they transferred kidney bean, a preferred host, or broad less‐preferred host. results showed α‐amylase trypsin initially decreased both nymphs adults transfer bean plants the lowest F 1...
