“…Stored cereals, oilseeds, pulses, spices, dried fruits, tree nuts and their processed foods are important for food and trade purposes and suffer economic and quality losses due to insect pests (Lamiri et al, 2001;Passino et al, 2004;Tapondjou et al, 2005;Ali & Rizvi, 2008). There are over 600 species of beetle pests and 70 species of moths capable of causing quantitative and qualitative losses (Rajendran, 2002).…”

Antifeedant activity of plant extracts from Mentha piperita L. and Mentha pulegium L. were tested against the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner). The nutritional indices: relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR), efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and feeding deterrence index (FDI) were measured for first-instar larvae (15-d old). Treatments were evaluated using a flour disk bioassay in the dark, at 25±1°C and 60±5% R.H. Concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2 mL/disk were prepared from each essential oil. After 72 h, nutritional indices were calculated. M. piperita oils were more effective than M. pulegium oils, by significantly decreasing the RGR, RCR and FDI. At the highest concentration tested (2 mL/disk), the ECI (9%) was significantly reduced.

“…Accordingly, bio-insecticides, a botanical type based on natural compounds from plants, are expected to be a possible application as selective, efficacious and toxicologically safe insecticides. Several reports have shown the efficacy of natural compounds on insects 6,8 . As for flies, the majority have been found to assess crude extracts from many botanical sources.…”

“…According to the primarily lipophilic property, several monoterpenoids have been reported as having toxic capability to herbivore insects, and were therefore considered as a potential, alternative biopesticide. Toxicity of eucalyptol on several species of medical or economical insects (e.g., triatomine bug, red flour beetle, lessor grain borer, rice weevil, sawtoothed grain beetle, house fly, Hessian fly, German cockroach, and stored food mite) have been recorded [8][9][10]14,20 . We therefore examined the effect of eucalyptol on M. domestica and C. megacephala to provide the knowledge for natural products in fly control.…”

SUMMARYThe effects of eucalyptol were evaluated against the house fly, Musca domestica L., and blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (F.). The bioassay of adults, using topical application, indicated that M. domestica males were more susceptible than females, with the LD 50 being 118 and 177 µg/fly, respectively. A higher LD 50 of C. megacephala was obtained; 197 µg/fly for males and 221 µg/fly for females. Living flies of both species yielded a shorter life span after being treated with eucalyptol. The bioassay of larvae, using the dipping method on the third instar, showed that M. domestica was more susceptible than C. megacephala, with their LC 50 being 101 and 642 µg/µl, respectively. The emergence of adults, which had been treated with eucalyptol in larvae, decreased only in M. domestica. Having the volatile property, fumigation or impregnated paper test of eucalyptol or the efficacy of repellence or attractiveness merits further investigations to enhance bio-insecticidal efficacy.

“…Thus, this formation of nutritive cells and a nutrient sink, the inhibition of wheat growth, and the enhancement of photosynthesis, effectively converts the whole plant into a "gall", creating a favorable environment for a larva to live and develop. Seed treatment is usually expensive and the effect of seed treatment only lasts for about 30 days (Lamiri et al, 2001). Biological control through releasing natural enemies is an environmental friendly tactic to suppress Hessian fly populations.…”

MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a role in nearly all the biological pathways and therefore may provide opportunities to develop new means to combat the Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor, a destructive pest of wheat. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of miRNA species via deep-sequencing samples from Hessian fly second instar larvae, pupae and adults. A total of 921 unique miRNA species were identified from approximately 30 million sequence reads. Among the 921 miRNA species, only 22 were conserved among Hessian fly and other insect species, and 242 miRNA species were unique to Hessian fly, the remaining 657 share certain sequence similarities with pre-miRNA genes identified from various insect species. The abundance of the 921 miRNA species based on sequence reads varies greatly among the three analyzed stages, with 20 exclusively expressed in adults, two exclusively expressed in pupae and two exclusively expressed in second instar larvae. For miRNA species expressed in all stages, 722 were with reads lower than 10. The abundance of the remaining 199 miRNA species varied from zero to more than eight-fold differences among different stages. Putative miRNA-encoding genes were analyzed for each miRNA species. A single putative gene was identified for 594 miRNA species. Two putative genes were identified for 138 miRNA species. Three or more putative genes were identified for 86 miRNA species. The three largest families had 14, 23 and 34 putative coding genes, respectively. No gene was identified for the remaining 103 miRNA species. In addition, 1516 putative target genes were identified for 490 miRNA species based on known criteria for miRNA targets. The putative target genes are involved in a wide range of processes from nutrient metabolism to encoding effector proteins. Analysis of the expression patterns of miRNA and pre-miRNA for the miRNA family PC-5p-67443, which contains 91 genes, revealed that miRNA and pre-miRNA were expressed differently in different developmental stages, suggesting that different isogenes are regulated by different mechanisms, or pre-miRNAs had other functions in addition to as an intermediate for miRNA biogenesis. The large set of miRNA species identified here provides a foundation for future research on miRNA functions in Hessian fly and for comparative studies in other species. The differential expression patterns between a pre-miRNA and its encoded mature miRNA in a multigene family is an initial step toward understanding the functional significance of isogenes in dramatically expanded miRNA families.v
