Experience is well known to affect sensory-guided behaviors in many herbivorous insects. Here, we investigated the effects of natural feeding experiences Helicoverpa armigera larvae on subsequent preferences larval approaching and feeding, as effect host-contacting mated females ovipositional preference. The results show that extent experience-induced preference, expressed by statistical analysis, depended plant species paired with experienced host plant. Larval preference was much easier be...
Holotrichia parallela damages seriously on peanut (Arachis hypogaea) pods. Elucidation of its flight and walking performance in the presence different plants may provide an insight host selection process explanation to strong olfactory preference attractive nonhost, castor bean (Ricinus communis). We determined relationships among performance, mate choice, body weight H. beetles, then investigated their patterns known hosts nonhost using a mill locomotion compensator, respectively. Body...
The cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) is a destructive pest species of tobacco. Olfactory repellents derived from permitted tobacco flavorants have the advantage not adversely effecting flavor. Among 12 test compounds, neral exhibited strongest repellent effect. six binary blends prepared, three (neral + ethyl cinnamate, cinnamaldehyde, and methyl cinnamate) evoked response. interactions between any one cinnamic acid derivatives were additive, antagonistic....
We tested the behavioral responses of ovipositing females and natal larvae two sibling species, a generalist Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) specialist assulta (Guenée), to odor sources emitted from different combinations six plant species (tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum; hot pepper, Capsicum annuum; tomato, Solanum esculentum; cotton, Gossypium hirsutum; peanut, Arachis hypogaea; maize, Zea mays). Under conditions materials versus corresponding controls, both stages could find their host plants....
Abstract The olfactory system of insects facilitates their search for host and mates, hence it plays an essential role insect survival reproduction. Insects recognize odor substances through neurons genes. Previous studies showed that there are significant sex‐specific differences in how identify odorant substances, especially sex pheromones. However, whether the recognition is caused by expression olfaction‐related genes between males females remains unclear. To clarify this problem, whole...
Edible spices with strong smells or heavy tastes may be a promising resource of feeding deterrents. We compared the deterrence ethanol extracts 21 common against larvae generalist pest species, Helicoverpa armigera, using multiple-choice leaf disc bioassay. The results show that Zanthoxylum bungeanum extract (as reference) always evoked significant deterrence, while Piper nigrum (both black pepper and white pepper), longum, Angelica dahurica strongest equivalent deterrence. potent deterrent...
