Abstract The coffee berry borer ( Hypothenemus hampei ) is the most devastating insect pest of worldwide with its infestations decreasing crop yield by up to 80%. Caffeine an alkaloid that can be toxic insects and hypothesized act as a defence mechanism inhibit herbivory. Here we show caffeine degraded in gut H. , experimental inactivation microbiota eliminates this activity. We demonstrate specimens from seven major coffee-producing countries laboratory-reared colonies share core...
The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), is the most devastating insect pest of throughout world. Adult females bore a hole in berry, where they deposit their eggs; upon hatching, larvae feed on seeds inside thus reducing yield and quality marketable product. spends its life making it extremely difficult to control. This paper presents short review literature dealing with natural enemies possible use fungal endophytes as biocontrol strategy, factors that might be involved...
Caliothrips chiapas sp.n. is described from Mexico, breeding on the leaves but not in flowers of Tithonia tubiformis [Asteraceae]. Patterns tergal sculpture and wing colour exhibited by 23 species now recognised this genus are discussed illustrated.
Abstract The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei , is the most economically important insect pest of worldwide. We present an analysis draft genome third for a Coleopteran species. size ca. 163 Mb with 19,222 predicted protein-coding genes. Analysis was focused on genes involved in primary digestion as well gene families detoxification plant defense molecules and insecticides, such carboxylesterases, cytochrome P450, gluthathione S-transferases, ATP-binding cassette transporters that...
The composition and seasonal occurrence of sandflies were investigated in coffee agroecosystems the Soconusco region Chiapas, Mexico. Insect sampling was performed on three plantations located at different altitudes: Finca Guadalupe Zajú [1,000 m above sea level (a.s.l.)], Argovia (613 a.s.l.) Teotihuacán del Valle (429 a.s.l.). Sandflies sampled monthly from August 2007-July 2008 using methods: Shannon traps, CDC miniature light traps Disney traps. Sampling conducted for 3 h during...
(With 1 figure)One of the most important biological invasions a tropical agroecosystem in Americas commenced 1913 Brazil. Indigenous to Central Africa, coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), was introduced state Sao Paulo seeds imported from Democratic Republic Congo (Berthet, 1913). As growers were not familiar with this insect, it until 1924, when damage had become widespread, that insect recognised be same species infesting plantations Africa (Da...
The coffee berry borer, the most economically important insect pest of worldwide, is only capable feeding and reproducing solely on seed, a food source containing purine alkaloid caffeine. Twenty-one bacterial species associated with borers from Hawai’i, Mexico, or laboratory colony in Maryland ( Acinetobacter sp. S40, S54, S55, Bacillus aryabhattai , Delftia lacustris Erwinia S38, S43, S63, Klebsiella oxytoca Ochrobactrum S45, S46, Pantoea S61, Pseudomonas aeruginosa P. parafulva S30, S31,...
Penicillium brocae is a new monoverticillate species isolated from coffee berry borers collected at plantations in Mexico near Cacahoatán, Chiapas, and reared on artificial diets ECOSUR laboratory facilities Tapachula, Chiapas. Phenotypically, it series Implicatum, but because does not conform to known we have described as new. ITS large subunit rDNA were sequenced compared determine the phylogenetic position of this species. It most closely related adametzii. has only been found association...
‘Ataulfo’ mango (Mangifera indica L.) is the most popular cultivar of to have originated in Mexico. Because its relatively recent discovery, few studies been carried out on best agricultural practices for production this cultivar, and there wide variation methods among growers. Among other aspects, insect fauna associated with has not formally studied. However, numerous growers spray synthetic insecticides a regular basis against thrips reduce populations. The present study was conducted...
The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), continues to pose a formidable challenge growers worldwide. Because of the cryptic life habit insect inside berries, effective pest management strategies have been difficult develop. A sesquiterpene, (E,E)-α-farnesene, produced by infested berries has identified as potential repellent against borer both in laboratory bioassays and field experiment Hawaii. Various revealed significantly lower levels infestation treated with different...
The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei, is the most damaging insect pest of worldwide. Like males in other species genus, male borers have a lower number facets compound eyes than females. rudimentary could be an evolutionary response to their cryptic life habit, whereby they are born inside and never leave berry. main objective study was determine if differences translates into visual acuity. We used low-temperature scanning electron microscopy visualize quantify eyes. There...
Abstract Green (unroasted) coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in world. The Arabica (Coffea arabica L.) and Robusta canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) species are two main types coffees for commercial production. In general, known to have better quality terms sensory characteristics; thus, it has a higher market value than coffee. Accurate differentiation green beans is, therefore, interest industry. Using newly developed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, we...
Abstract While [CO 2 ] effects on growth and secondary chemistry are well characterized for annual plant species, little is known about perennials. Among perennials, production of Coffea arabica C. canephora (robusta) have enormous economic importance worldwide. Three Arabica cultivars (Bourbon, Catimor, Typica) robusta coffee were grown from germination to ca. 12 months at four CO concentrations: 300, 400, 500 or 600 ppm. There significant increases in all leaf area biomass markers response...
