Abstract Background Modern methods of stored wheat grain protection from insect pests strive towards optimizing the use different techniques and within integrated pest management (IPM) programs. One integral is application natural originating insecticides. Main body The potential origin synthetic insecticide abamectin (a product soil bacteria, Streptomyces avermitilis fermentation) on borer, Rhyzopertha dominica F. (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), in wheat, barley, ray, oats, triticale was...
Insect silk has been widely studied for its application in regenerative medicine. However, the data about Plodia interpunctella as a biomaterial and anticancer properties are insufficient. Thus, aim of this study was to investigate native substrate growing normal human fibroblasts MRC-5, test potential cytotoxic effects two extracts (with DMSO Trypsin sericin isolation) on HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma cells MRC-5 control. Fifth-instar larval silk, collected 15 30 days, used testing...
Due to its negative impact on the yield and quality of stored grains, aim this research was study influence Rhyzopertha dominica F. rheological properties wheat flour obtained from grains infested by examined pest. A laboratory device - Mixolab employed in order simulate production process bread (from beginning dough mixing until end baking). Wet gluten index, as significant parameters, were also determined. The varieties Planeta Kruna used these experiments. samples both with R. (infested...
Water extracts of three plant species the genus Echium (E.italicum L., E. vulgare L. and rubrum Jacq.) were tested under laboratory conditions for their activity as potential post-harvest grain protectants against Plodia interpunctella (Hübner, 1813) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae.Antioxidative total phenolic, flavonoid tannin contents in determined.The larvicidal assays conducted with local population P. from Central Serbia on kernels Takovčanka winter wheat cultivar.The experiment was set...
This paper represents the contribution to knowledge of longhorn beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) fauna City Kragujevac (Central Serbia). Based on material collected from 2010 2014 by authors, as well available literature data, 66 species and 13 subspecies five subfamilies were recorded, while highest number is registered within Cerambycinae (26) Lamiinae (19). Four are rarely found in Serbia: Vadonia moesiaca (Daniel & Daniel, 1891), Stictoleptura cordigera (Füsslins, 1775), S. erythroptera...
Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), the Indian meal moth (IMM), is a major lepidopteran storage pest worldwide. IMM larvae can be found in high abundance stored maize and cause huge losses seed germination viability. This work aimed to assess susceptibility of six hybrids (NS 6140, NS 640, 1090, 444 - dent type, 620k pop-corn Red-aleurone with an altered aleuron color) attack suitability for pest's development. Standard laboratory diet (SLD) was used as positive control. Under conditions,...
The present study was undertaken to determine survival rate of Plodia interpunctella (Hübner, 1813), reared on different mechanical states Vizija winter wheat cultivar and Raša rye cultivar, previously infested with beetle pests. Wheat Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus granarius, Oryzaephilus surinamensis Cryptolestes ferrugineus, while only O. surinamensis. Kernels were tested in three states: (A) whole undamaged kernels; (B) kernels already damaged by pests (C) original storage (mixture B C...
This paper reports the first findings of allochthonous weevil species Alcidodes karelinii (Boheman, 1844) in Serbia. It is distributed throughout Eurasian steppe belt, and recently it has been spreading westwardly. The specimens from Serbia were found thanks to citizen science two localities Vojvodina Province (North Serbia): Ada Municipality, North Banat District, December 16th , 2022, March 2024; Village Bački Brestovac, Odžaci West Bačka September 25th, 2023.
The insect silk protects the larvae that produce it. This implies it may contain biologically active substances can be used in medicine. In this paper, cytotoxic and proapoptotic potential of Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella) extract was examined after 72 h exposure to SW-480 human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line. Apoptosis by monitoring morphological changes fluorescent staining, acridine orange/ethidium bromide, DAPI, as well flow cytometry. results showed has a very good...
Insect's bionomics and development are highly dependent on the environmental temperature. For centuries, this fact has been used for control of storage pests. However, temperature threshold depends species, life stage, acclimation exposure period. This work assessed effects low temperatures (4,-4,-10,-15 and-18°C) period (10, 30, 60, 120 180 min) survival Plodia interpunctella larvae, adults Sitophilus oryzae S. zeamais, prevalent maize pests in Serbia. Data were analysed using one-way...
In this study, inhibitory effects of crude silk produced by 5th larval instar moth Plodia interpunctella, as well ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, hexane and dichloromethane extracts were evaluated against 18 bacterial strains (ATCC strains/isolates) 6 fungal ATCC in vitro.Among the tested extracts, acetone extract had highest activity Gram-negative bacteria, while all showed moderate to high Grampositive bacteria fungi.The dilution 1/2, 1/4 stock samples higher microbial activity.The was...
This paper presents the results of fauna longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Gledić Mountains (Central Serbia). The obtained data present first contribution to study mountains. Based on material collected from 2011 2013, 41 species four subfamilies were recorded and highest number is registered within Cerambycinae (15) Lamiinae (14). Stictoleptura cordigera (Fuessly, 1775) reported for time Central Serbia. additional rare beetle erythroptera (Hagenbach, 1822) has been recorded. A...
