This thesis is much like a journey with unexpected circumstances encountered along the way. Overall, my memories captured more the nice view and I have no regrets of passing some bumps along the way because these bumps have shaped my character and prepared myself to deal with the future. The last five years were the best years of my life and I would not trade the experiences for anything else. I would like to convey my grateful appreciation to the following whose priceless contribution, whose impact in complex and simple ways, made the journey memorable and helped me reach my destination: Dr. Finbarr G. Horgan, who has built the road and the rest is history! Who was there from the beginning (scholarship and university application) to the end (thesis writing) and defense preparation. For always pushing me beyond my previous capacity and always reminding me to be perfect in what I do especially in writing. For always encouraging me to assess critically what I read and hear, to formulate hypotheses correctly, to lay out and conduct statistically valid experiments and to pursue the mechanisms of nature instead of purely describing and seeking for patterns. How I wish I had met him earlier in my career, I could have learned a lot more. I will spend the rest of my life with a grateful heart for all he has done for my growth as a researcher. He has also graced the PhD years with meaningful and funny conversations that influenced my thinking and defined my philosphy in life. I couldn‘t thank him enough. Prof. Dr Marcel Dicke, for the brilliant scrutiny of the manuscripts including some concepts and details often overlooked by others, from the very start up to its polished final form. For bringing out the maximum potential of everyone, for being an epitome of hardwork, an icon in the efficient use of time and for showing that life devoted to excellent science means not just advancing his own but also improving other people‘s lives. And most importantly, for changing the direction of my future by opening some highways of opportunities. Thank you so much for the trust and confidence in me. Dr. Peter W. de Jong, who was the reason why I chose Wageningen University to pursue the PhD. As I scoured through my shortlist of excellent European university websites, his approachable and smiling photo made me feel welcome. During my stay at the university, he made me feel at home too. However, his remarkable take away message when I begun writing at the university: ―Publication is just a name it‘s not equivalent to greatness, the most important thing is to deal harmoniously with other people‖ left a mark which served as my guiding light and kept me grounded. Aside from this, for the fun emails and skype conversations from Holland that intercallated the serious discussion of my manuscript. International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), for changing me for the better. I joined IRRI many years ago as a timid, low self-esteemed, aloof, awkward person. But the diversity of opinion, down-to-earth culture and the freedom to showcase one‘s creativity has encouraged trust to self and in one‘s abilities. IRRI has invested so much in capacity building of its young scientists which prepares them to embark on bigger roles in the future, a legacy that will last a lifetime. Global Rice Science Scholarship through DuPont Pioneer Scientific Know-how and Exchange Program (SKEP), which provided the financial assistance that made the pursuit of this PhD possible and for funding countless trainings and seminars that built up my capacity as a researcher and prepared me to be an independent scientist in the future. Reyuel Quintana, Rodante Abas, Vincent Vertudez, Raymond Medallon, Marol Recide and Jhenerose Geronda, for the physical assistance in the laboratory, in the greenhouse and for the friendships which sprung from always working together. Alberto Naredo, through his extensive experience has patiently shared to me his knowledge in the brown planthopper life history and handling, techniques that are not even written in books. The jokes, laughter and fun interlaced in everyday greenhouse life were truly memorable. Bong Villareal and Jo Catindig, my bestfriends at IRRI who were not afraid to immediately correct my mistakes but readily praise my achievements. For the enumerable assistance in demonstrating entomology concepts that are comprehensive enough for me who came from a non-entomology background. For teaching me generously the most efficient way to do things in the laboratory and greenhouse, saving me some time and effort to do trial and error to figure out how to do things. Above all, the overflowing friendship and the sympathy that are readily available in whatever I go through. I cannot imagine the future without you! Carmencita C. Bernal, my ―mom‖ at IRRI. The witty and funny remarks out of nowhere are always my anti-depressants. The infinite technical consultations and the fun travels and escapades together. For instilling in me that life is too short, so we should make the most out of every moment of our existence. Ma. Liberty P. Almazan, one of the sharpest persons I have encountered. A source of calm amid the storm of conducting greenhouse set-ups. My presentation editor before any talk or conference. Mr. Gerard Pesch, for the countless assistance during my stay at the Laboratory of Entomology. For providing my needs during my first week at Wageningen. It did not take me long to adjust to the new country because he was a go-to man for information and advice. And most of all, for the tremendous help in finding and providing articles I needed during the writing of the thesis. To Dr. Joop, Cindy, Dani, Tila, Patrick, Angelique and the rest of the Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen who are my friends and mentors, who always made an effort for me to feel at ease and at home in a foreign country. To Fay Haverkort, who assisted me during the conduct of a labor-intensive study in the Philippines. She was a good Dutch student who worked hard while enjoying what the Philippines has to offer. She sustained her friendship to me by frequently keeping in touch.

  • Toxic Effects of Virtako on the Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata Lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)
    Revista Colombiana de Entomología 39 (2): 197-200 (Julio - Diciembre 2013) 197 Toxic effects of virtako on the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) Efectos toxicos del virtako sobre el saltahojas marrón Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) YONG CHEN1, XIAOwa QING1, JIE LIU1, JIE ZHANG2 and RUNJIE ZHANG1,3 Abstract: Laboratory assays (Institute of Entomology, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China) were conducted to assess the potential of virtako, a mixture insecticide, which contains 20% chlorantraniliprole and 20% thiamethoxam, against the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae). The toxic effects of virtako against the nymphal instars of N. lugens indicated that all instars were sensitive to the five concentrations (16, 8, 4, 2, 1 mg/L). The first-second instars were the most susceptible, and the median lethal concentrations [LC50] were 4.76, 1.96 and 0.85 mg/L at 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment, respectively. Fifth-instars were the least susceptible with the LC50 values of 23.76, 7.25 and 3.95 mg/L at 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment, respectively, and were significantly greater than those of the first - second instars. The LC50s of the third - fourth instars were 11.59, 5.72 and 2.17 mg/L at 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment, respectively. These results indicate that virtako might be an effective alternative for the control of BPH N. lugens, by delaying the resistance levels of thiamethoxam. Key words: Brown planthopper. Toxicity. Laboratory assays. Lethal concentrations. Resumen: Ensayos de laboratorio (Institute of Entomology, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China) fueron lleva- dos a cabo con el objeto de determinar el potencial de virtako, una mezcla insecticida, que contiene 20% de clorantra- niliprole y 20% de tiametoxam, contra el saltahojas marrón, Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae).

  • The Evolution of Insecticide Resistance in the Brown Planthopper
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The evolution of insecticide resistance in the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål) of China in Received: 18 September 2017 Accepted: 2 March 2018 the period 2012–2016 Published: xx xx xxxx Shun-Fan Wu1, Bin Zeng1, Chen Zheng1, Xi-Chao Mu1, Yong Zhang1, Jun Hu1, Shuai Zhang2, Cong-Fen Gao1 & Jin-Liang Shen1 The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, is an economically important pest on rice in Asia. Chemical control is still the most efcient primary way for rice planthopper control. However, due to the intensive use of insecticides to control this pest over many years, resistance to most of the classes of chemical insecticides has been reported. In this article, we report on the status of eight insecticides resistance in Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) collected from China over the period 2012–2016. All of the feld populations collected in 2016 had developed extremely high resistance to imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and buprofezin. Synergism tests showed that piperonyl butoxide (PBO) produced a high synergism of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and buprofezin efects in the three feld populations, YA2016, HX2016, and YC2016. Functional studies using both double-strand RNA (dsRNA)-mediated knockdown in the expression of CYP6ER1 and transgenic expression of CYP6ER1 in Drosophila melanogaster showed that CYP6ER1 confers imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and buprofezin resistance. These results will be benefcial for efective insecticide resistance management strategies to prevent or delay the development of insecticide resistance in brown planthopper populations. Te brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is a serious pest on rice in Asia1. Tis monophagous pest causes severe damage to rice plants through direct sucking ofen causing “hopper burn”, ovipositing and virus disease transmission during its long-distance migration1,2.

Several studies have described the ability of these predators to prey on Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae). However, the study that explained the density impact of N.lugens on the ability predation in competition condition by both predators have not been completely known. A research had been conducted in the laboratory to study the predation and model of competition on different densities of N.lugens. The study used a completely randomized design in 10 replications. The prey densities for single predation were 5, 10, 15, 20 and for predation by competition were 10, 20, 30, 40 and without prey. This study revealed that the density of prey influenced the ability of predation of the two predators, which in turn, it also affected their growth. The impact of prey behavior on the predation and competition process between the two predators was also discussed in this article. Keywords: Interaction, Competition, Spider, Coccinellidae, N.lugens 1. Introduction Moreover, Yasuda & Kimura (2001) and Synder et al (2004) stated that spider and coccinellid are not only classified as Brown planthopper or N.lugens was initially classified as the top predators but also top intra guild predation.

  • Nilaparvata Lugens) Populations with Different Virulence Levels in Rice
    Transcriptome Analysis of Fat Bodies from Two Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) Populations with Different Virulence Levels in Rice Haixin Yu1., Rui Ji1., Wenfeng Ye1., Hongdan Chen1, Wenxiang Lai2, Qiang Fu2*, Yonggen Lou1* 1 State Key Laboratory of Rice Biology, Institute of Insect Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, 2 Research and Development Center of Rice Production Technology, China National Rice Research Institute, Hangzhou, China Abstract Background: The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Sta˚l), one of the most serious rice insect pests in Asia, can quickly overcome rice resistance by evolving new virulent populations. The insect fat body plays essential roles in the life cycles of insects and in plant-insect interactions. However, whether differences in fat body transcriptomes exist between insect populations with different virulence levels and whether the transcriptomic differences are related to insect virulence remain largely unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings: In this study, we performed transcriptome-wide analyses on the fat bodies of two BPH populations with different virulence levels in rice. The populations were derived from rice variety TN1 (TN1 population) and Mudgo (M population). In total, 33,776 and 32,332 unigenes from the fat bodies of TN1 and M populations, respectively, were generated using Illumina technology. Gene ontology annotations and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) orthology classifications indicated that genes related to metabolism and immunity were significantly active in the fat bodies. In addition, a total of 339 unigenes showed homology to genes of yeast-like symbionts (YLSs) from 12 genera and endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia. A comparative analysis of the two transcriptomes generated 7,860 differentially expressed genes.

Abstract This study investigated the effects of heat stress on the survival, mobility, acclimation ability, development, reproduction and feeding behaviour of the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens. The critical information derived from the heat tolerance studies indicate that some first instar nymphs become immobilized by heat stress at around 30°C and among the more heat tolerant adult stage, no insects were capable of coordinated movement at 38°C. There was no recovery after entry into heat coma, at temperatures around 38°C for nymphs and 42-43°C for adults. At 41.8° and 42.5oC respectively, approximately 50% of nymphs and adults are killed. In a comparison of the acclimation responses between nymphs and adults reared at 23°C and acclimated at either 15 or 30°C, the data indicate that increases in cold tolerance were greater than heat tolerance, and that acclimation over a generation compared with a single life stage increases tolerance across the thermal spectrum.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

E-mail: [email protected] Submitted May 3, 2017; accepted June 5, 2017 ABSTRACT Anagrus nilaparvatae (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) is an egg parasitoid potential for controlling the major pests on rice, the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens [Hemiptera: Delphacidae]). Abamectin is one of insecticides registered for N. lugens. The research was aimed to investigate the impact of contact application of abamectin on the parasitism level of A. nilaparvatae under laboratory conditions. Adults of A. nilaparvatae and the first instars as well as adults of N. lugens were exposed to the residue of abamection inside the test tube. A. nilaparvatae was much more susceptible to abamectin compared to N. lugens. Application of abamectin at the recommended concentration (22.78 ppm) for 30 min caused 100% mortality, and it reduced to 85% when the concentration was decreased to 0.36 ppm. In contrast, the mortality for the first instar of N. lugens was only 15% at 22.78 and no mortality at 0.36 ppm. No N. lugens adults died even when they were exposed to 22.78 ppm.

  • Side Effects of Insecticides on Natural Enemies and Possibility of Their Integration in Plant Protection Strategies
    Chapter 1 Side Effects of Insecticides on Natural Enemies and Possibility of Their Integration in Plant Protection Strategies Nabil El-Wakeil, Nawal Gaafar, Ahmed Sallam and Christa Volkmar Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/54199 1. Introduction Recently, plant protection strategy has recommended, minimizing the use of chemical pesticides. Therefore, studying the side effect of insecticides on the natural enemies is highly required to exclude the detrimental effects on the natural enemies. Every crop is infested by various pests; some but not all of them may be controlled by biological means using pathogens, predators, parasitoids and spiders. But to achieve a satisfactory control of complexes of pests, selective pesticides are also indispensable. In fact, they are a prerequisite of Integrated Pest Management. The integration of chemical and biological control is often critical to the success of an integrated pest management (IPM) program for arthropod pests (Smilanick et al. 1996; El-Wakeil & Vidal 2005; El-Wakeil et al. 2006; Volkmar et al. 2008). In contrast with nonsystemic insecticides, many systemic insecticides and their metabolites are claimed to be fairly safe for beneficial in‐ sects because direct exposure to these chemicals occurs when insects feed on plant tissue. How‐ ever, systemic insecticides can potentially contaminate floral and extrafloral nectar when systemically distributed throughout the plant (Lord et al. 1968) and cause high mortality to nec‐ tarfeeding parasitoids for as long as some weeks after insecticide application (Stapel et al. 2000). Most biological control agents, including predators, parasitoids and spiders, at work in the agricultural and urban environments are naturally occurring ones, which provide excellent regulation of many pests with little or no assistance from humans.
