  • 'Genome to Paddock' Approach to Control Plant Disease
    PLENARY 1 – DANIEL MCALPINE MEMORIAL LECTURE A ‘genome to paddock’ approach to control plant disease 1 Barbara Howlett 1. University of Melbourne, Melbounre, VIC, Australia Pathogenic fungi evolve in concert with their plant hosts to invade and overcome defence responses. A detailed knowledge of these processes is essential for successful disease management strategies. Blackleg caused by the fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans, is the major disease of canola worldwide. In this lecture I describe how field data, such as disease incidence and severity, coupled with information about the biology, molecular genetics and genomics of the blackleg fungus has been exploited to control this important disease. Field populations of Leptosphaeria maculans can evolve and overcome disease resistance bred into canola within three years of commercial release of a cultivar. The risk of breakdown of resistance can be determined by monitoring disease severity of canola cultivars and changes in virulence of fungal populations using high throughput molecular assays that are based on sequences of avirulence genes. Farmers can avoid a predicted epidemic by sowing canola cultivars with different resistance genes in subsequent years. This strategy has been exploited in Australia and has averted substantial yield losses due to disease.

  • Odorous Garden Ants (Iridomyrmex Chasei Spp.) Factsheet
    July 2018 Factsheet Odorous garden ants (Iridomyrmex chasei spp.) Ants to watch out for Red imported fire ants, yellow crazy ants, electric ants and carpenter ants, all pose a serious social, economic and environmental threat to Western Australia. If you suspect you have these ants or any ants you haven’t seen before, please contact us on freecall 1800 084 881. Summary Native ants commonly referred to as odorous garden ants belong to the Iridomyrmex chasei species group. These ants are harmless and do not sting. Where are they found? These ants nest in the ground outside and may be observed excavating sand in gardens and pathways. They may also be seen climbing trees and tending pests such as scale, mealy bugs and aphids. Damage Odorous garden ants (Iridomyrmex chasei spp.), with two winged These ants do not sting and do not damage or nest in reproductives (alates) (bottom) buildings. They can be a nuisance in spring and summer when their numbers are at their highest and winged reproductive ants group together and leave the nest (known as swarming). These ants rarely enter the home. Contact Treatment Pest and Disease Information Service (PaDIS) Liquid sprays offer much better control for these ants than dusts or granules and a number of products are available. Call: (08) 9368 3080 Sprays containing chemicals such as permethrin will be effective when applied to nesting and foraging areas. Email: [email protected] These products can be obtained from garden centres and hardware stores. Exotic threats The following ants could impact on our outdoor lifestyle and Western Australia’s agricultural and food industries.

These ants do not bite or sting and are active day and night. Where are they found? In the home they are commonly attracted to sweet liquids and foods and are often drawn to the kitchen, laundry and bathroom. They naturally nest and forage in trees, feeding on insects, honeydew and nectar.

Introducción El tubo digestivo de los insectos varía en su morfología de acuerdo al tipo de alimentación y las fases de desarrollo del organismo, generalmente se observan tres regiones bien diferenciadas, que en un sentido anteroposterior son: el estomodeo o intestino anterior; el mesodeo o íntestino medio y el proctodeo o intestino posterior (Morón, 1987; De la Fuente, 1994; Richards y Davies, 1977). Ordinariamente entre el estomodeo y el mesodeo se encuentra la válvula estomodeica o cárdica, y entre el mesodeo y el proctodeo la válvula proctodeica o pilórica. El estomodeo y el proctodeo provienen de invaginaciones del ectodermo; el mesodeo se forma a partir del endodermo (Ross, 1973) De la Fuente diferencia en el estomodeo; la faringe y el esófago; en la mayoría de los casos además se puede apreciar que el esófago esta conformado por la región anterior, el buche, la molleja o proventrículo y una válvula cárdica o esofágica El mesodeo, también llamado estómago o ventrículo, es muy variable en los hexápodos y puede ser tubular o en forma de saco, recto o enrollado, uniforme o dividido en regiones (De la Fuente, 1994).
