Feeding Behavior of the Small Brown Planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) on Rice Plants Based on EPG Waveform, Honeydew Excretion, and Microsection Analysis

The probing behaviour of the planthopperDelphacodes kuscheli(Hemiptera: Delphacidae) on two alternating hosts, maize and oat

“…The plant and insect are incorporated in an electrical circuit by attaching an electrode to the dorsum of the insect and inserting another electrode to the potted plant. Among planthoppers of the Delphacidae family, the EPG technique has widely been used to study the feeding behaviour of important pests of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Asia: Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Kimmins 1989;Hattori 2001;Seo et al 2009;Ghaffar et al 2011), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Lei et al 2016;Li et al 2016), Laodelphax striatellus Fallén (Seo et al 2016) and one pest of maize, Peregrinus maidis (Ashmead), in tropical and subtropical areas (Buduca et al 1996;Reynaud et al 2004). This technique has been used to test host suitability or resistance and the transmission mechanisms of plant pathogens mainly in aphids (Alvarez et al 2006(Alvarez et al , 2013Machado-Assefh & Alvarez 2018), leafhoppers (Carpane et al 2011;Backus et al 2015;Roddee et al 2017) and other sap-sucking hemipterans such as mirids (Backus et al 2007), whiteflies (Jhonson & Walker 1999;Lu et al 2017) and psyllids (Bonani et al 2010).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén, 1826) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) collected in a mid-Western part of Korean peninsula

“…High density of SBPH could cause severe economic damage on rice, Oryza sativa L., by directly sucking and indirectly transmitting viral pathogens, including rice stripe virus and rice streaked dwarf virus, with piercing mouthparts (i.e. stylets; Hibino 1996;Seo et al 2016). Two mitogenomes (Song and Liang 2009;Zhang et al 2013) and one whole genome (Zhu et al 2017) originated from China (Jiansu province and Beijing) were published, insufficient to uncover geographical differences among SBPH populations in Northeast Asia, where SBPHs can overwinter and migrate from China to Korea and Japan by westerlies in early summer (Otuka et al 2012).…”

“…It is one of the important pests in East Asia where rice has been cultivated intensively (Hibino 1996 ; Seo et al. 2016 ). Long-distance migration of SBPHs has been reported from mid-Eastern China to Korea and Japan by westerlies in the end of May and early June (Otuka et al.…”

“…Laodelphax striatellus (Fall en, 1826), called as small brown planthopper (SBPH), is distributed in Asia, Europe, and Northern Africa (Wilson and Claridge 1991). It is one of the important pests in East Asia where rice has been cultivated intensively (Hibino 1996;Seo et al 2016). Long-distance migration of SBPHs has been reported from mid-Eastern China to Korea and Japan by westerlies in the end of May and early June (Otuka et al 2012) and they can overwinter in each country, causing accumulation of different genotypes on these countries.…”
