Locusts are one of the world's most destructive agricultural pests and represent a useful model system in entomology. Here we present draft 6.5 Gb genome sequence Locusta migratoria, which is largest animal sequenced so far. Our findings indicate that large size L. migratoria likely to be because transposable element proliferation combined with slow rates loss for these elements. Methylome transcriptome analyses reveal complex regulatory mechanisms involved microtubule dynamic-mediated...
3D object detection has recently become popular due to many applications in robotics, augmented reality, autonomy, and image retrieval. We introduce the Objectron dataset advance state of art foster new research applications, such as tracking, view synthesis, improved shape representation. The contains object-centric short videos with pose annotations for nine categories includes 4 million annotated images 14, 819 videos. also propose a evaluation metric, Intersection over Union, detection....
In response to insect attack and mechanical wounding, plants activate the expression of genes involved in various defense-related processes. A fascinating feature these inducible defenses is their occurrence both locally at wounding site systemically undamaged leaves throughout plant. Wound-inducible proteinase inhibitors (PIs) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) provide an attractive model understand signal transduction events leading from localized injury systemic genes. Among identified...
Abstract To restrict pathogen entry, plants close stomata as an integral part of innate immunity. counteract this defense, Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato produces coronatine (COR), which mimics jasmonic acid (JA), to reopen for bacterial entry. It is believed that abscisic (ABA) plays a central role in regulating bacteria-triggered stomatal closure and reopening requires the JA/COR pathway, but downstream signaling events remain unclear. We studied immunity (Solanum lycopersicum) report here...
Significance Plants respond to herbivory and pathogenic infection with the synthesis of various defense compounds, including volatile compounds that are emitted into environment. These volatiles can be perceived by neighboring plants “prime” them for an attack specific attacker. We found whitefly-infested tomato release prime a against pathogens in plants, which goes at cost defenses insect herbivores, making more suitable whitefly development. This apparent ability whiteflies manipulate...
The jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic (SA) signalling pathways, which mediate induced plant defence responses, can express negative crosstalk. Limited knowledge is available on the effects of this crosstalk host-plant selection behaviour herbivores. We report temporal dosage such host preference oviposition-site herbivorous spider mite Tetranychus urticae towards Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) plants, including underlying mechanisms. Behavioural observations reveal a dynamic response mites to...
Plant volatiles play an important role in defending plants against insect attacks by attracting their natural enemies. For example, green leaf (GLVs) and terpenoids emitted from herbivore-damaged were found to be the host location of parasitic wasps. However, evidence functional roles mechanisms these semio-chemicals a system multiple prey parasitoid is limited. Little known about potential evolutionary trends between herbivore-induced plant parasitoids.The present study includes...
Abstract Stomata help plants regulate CO 2 absorption and water vapor release in response to various environmental changes, decrease their stomatal apertures enhance status under elevated . Although the bottom‐up effect of on insect performance has been extensively studied, few reports have considered how fitness is altered by ‐induced changes host plant status. We tested hypothesis that aphids induce closure increase potential, which facilitates passive feeding, this induction can be...
Phenylacetonitrile acts as an aposematic signal and toxin precursor against predation in locusts.
Summary Herbivore attack induces plants to mobilize chemical defences, including the release of volatiles that attract natural enemies herbivore. This commonly involves jasmonic acid ( JA ) pathway. However, phloem‐feeding whiteflies specifically trigger salicylic SA )‐signalling, thereby suppressing ‐based defences and enhancing host plant suitability. Here, we show with A rabidopsis thaliana whitefly parasitoid E ncarsia formosa outsmarts this apparent manipulation by exploiting ‐triggered...
Abstract Induced plant defenses against herbivores are modulated by jasmonic acid-, salicylic acid- and ethylene-signaling pathways. Although there is evidence that some pathogens suppress interfering with the crosstalk between different signaling pathways, such scarce for herbivores. Here, we demonstrate mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis suppresses induced in tomato. We found exogenous JA, but not SA, significantly decreased feeding time reduced nymphal performance. In addition, constitutive...
In the present study, Y-tube olfactometric assays demonstrated that headspace volatile extracts collected from leaf miner–damaged, or artificially damaged, bean plants were more attractive to naive females of parasitoid insect Opius dissitus than those healthy plants. Headspace both Liriomyza huidobrensis and sativae second-instar larvae–damaged beans analyzed by coupled gas chromatography–electroantennographic detection (GC–EAD). Of nine EAD-active volatiles identified,...
Host-plant shifts have significantly contributed to the diversification of phytophagous insects. The contact sex pheromones such insects may be modified by plant they feed on, thereby contributing formation/maintenance sister species on different plants. Here, we addressed this issue using 2 specialist flea beetles Altica fragaria and viridicyanea , their oligophagous F 1 hybrids. Specifically, tested 1) if males from these recognize conspecific females based cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC)...
Chemical communication plays an important role in density-dependent phase change locusts. However, the volatile components and emission patterns of migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, are largely unknown. In this study, we identified chemical compositions dynamics locust volatiles from body feces associated them with developmental stages, sexes changes. The shares a number desert (Schistocerca gregaria), but two species significantly different. odors gregarious nymphs consisted...
In this paper, we address the problem of detecting unseen objects from RGB images and estimating their poses in 3D. We propose two mobile friendly networks: MobilePose-Base MobilePose-Shape. The former is used when there only pose supervision, latter for case shape supervision available, even a weak one. revisit features previous methods, including segmentation coordinate map. explain why pixel-level can improve estimation. Consequently, add prediction as an intermediate layer...
The objective of this research is to enhance the precision and efficiency design concept assessments during initial stages new product creation. Design evaluation, which occurs at end conceptual phase, a critical step in development. outcome evaluation significantly impacts product's eventual success, as flawed concepts are difficult remedy later stages. However, procedure that encompasses elements subjectivity ambiguity. In order deal with problem, novel decision-making method for choosing...
• Recent studies on plants genetically modified in jasmonic acid (JA) signalling support the hypothesis that jasmonate family of oxylipins plays an important role mediating direct and indirect plant defences. However, interaction two modes defence tritrophic systems is largely unknown. In this study, we examined preference performance a herbivorous leafminer (Liriomyza huidobrensis) its parasitic wasp (Opius dissitus) three tomato genotypes: wild-type (WT) plant, JA biosynthesis (spr2)...
