Relationship Between Bemisia tabaci and Aphis gosspyii Infestations with Certain of Plant Diseases, Plant Enzyme Activities, Dissection Structures and Natural Enemies on Squash Plant.

Abstract

The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

Diversity of Piercing-Sucking Pests Infesting Some Plants of Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae Families

“…Contradictorily, Chapman, 1995 reported that aphid mouthparts lack contact chemoreceptors, which accounts for their unique reaction to non-volatile plant allelochemicals. Recently, phytochemical of primary and secondary metabolites as flavonoids (Stec et al, 2021), alkaloids (Tiku, 2021), phyto-hormones including cytokinins, abscisic acid, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid (Bari andJones, 2009 andWasternack, 2007) and phyto-enzymes, peroxidase and phenoloxidase enzymes (Hassan et al, 2017 andAmin et al, 2021) affect the piercing-sucking pest behavior, later on, the aphids behavior changed depending on the flavonoid treated caused a decrease in the intensity of plant sap ingestion. Our research findings provide plant breeders and protection services on how to best focus their efforts to safeguard Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae plants from piercing-sucking pests in a sustainable and eco-friendly management.…”
