Nayak Assistant Professor, Entomlogy Subject: Fundamental of Entomology College: College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh Lecture Title: ORDER: DIPTERA Etymology: Di: Two; ptera: wings Example: True flies, Mosquitoes, Midge etc Important character 1. They are small to medium sized, soft bodied insects. 2. The body regions are distinct. 3. Head is often hemispherical and attached to the thorax by a slender neck. 4. Mouthparts are of sucking type, but may be modified. 5. Antennae mostly 3 segmented (except in Nematocera ) and aristate 6. All thoracic segments are fused together. The thoracic mass is largely made up of mesothorax. A small lobe of the mesonotum (scutellum) overhangs the base of the abdomen. 7. Legs well developed, tarsus usually 5 segmented pulvilli and an empodium Usually present 8. They have a single pair of wings. 9. Forewings are larger, membranous and used for flight. 10. Hindwings are highly reduced, knobbed at the end and are called halteres . They are rapidly vibrated during flight. They function as organs of equilibrium. Flies are the swiftest among all insects. 11. Metamorphosis is complete. Larvae of more common forms are known as maggots. They are apodous and acephalous . Mouthparts are represented as mouth hooks which are attached to internal sclerites. Pupa is generally with free appendages, often enclosed in the hardened last larval skin called puparium . Pupa belongs to the coarctate type. Classification This order is sub divided in to three suborders. Difference among suborder of Dipteral order: Character Nematocera Brachycera cyclorrhapha Larva Eucephalous Hemicephalous Acephalous Antennae 1-6 segmented Reduced, papillae like absent Mouthpart Well developed, Well developed, Reduced (Cephalopharyngeal Mandibles vertically skeleton bearing mandibular hook, articulated hypostomal and pharyngeal sclerite) Pupa obtect obtect exarate Instar 4 5-8 3 Alimentary Short straight Slightly convoluted Long and coiled canal Palpi 4-5 segmented 2-3 segmented Single segmented Antennae in Longer than body 3 segmented , Stylet 3 segmented, Aristate type Adult (Filiform) type wing Discal cell absent present Present Cubital cell Widely open closed Closed Salivary Tubular trilobed Tubular running upto Coiled elongated more than a glands some length of length of abdomen abdomen Important character of family under Sub order : NEMATOCERA Family: Cecidomyiidae (Gall midge) 1.

  • Map-Based Cloning of the Hessian Fly Resistance Gene H13 in Wheat
    Map-based cloning of the Hessian fly resistance gene H13 in Wheat by Anupama Joshi B.S., Panjab University, 2006 M.S., Panjab University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Interdepartmental Genetics College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Abstract H13, a dominant resistance gene transferred from Aegilops tauschii into wheat (Triticum aestivum), confers a high level of antibiosis against a wide range of Hessian fly (HF, Mayetiola destructor) biotypes. Previously, H13 was mapped to the distal arm of chromosome 6DS, where it is flanked by markers Xcfd132 and Xgdm36. A mapping population of 1,368 F2 individuals derived from the cross: PI372129 (h13h13) / PI562619 (Molly, H13H13) was genotyped and H13 was flanked by Xcfd132 at 0.4cM and by Xgdm36 at 1.8cM. Screening of BAC-based physical maps of chromosome 6D of Chinese Spring wheat and Ae. tauschii coupled with high resolution genetic and Radiation Hybrid mapping identified nine candidate genes co-segregating with H13. Candidate gene validation was done on an EMS-mutagenized TILLING population of 2,296 M3 lines in Molly. Twenty seeds per line were screened for susceptibility to the H13- virulent HF GP biotype. Sequencing of candidate genes from twenty-eight independent susceptible mutants identified three nonsense, and 24 missense mutants for CNL-1 whereas only silent and intronic mutations were found in other candidate genes. 5’ and 3’ RACE was performed to identify gene structure and CDS of CNL-1 from Molly (H13H13) and Newton (h13h13). Increased transcript levels were observed for H13 gene during incompatible interactions at larval feeding stages of GP biotype.

Host plant resistance and biological control appear to be the most promising control measures adopted so far. Three major rice genotypes (Oryza sativa, Oryza glaberrima and interspecific rice, New Rice for Africa (NERICA)) are cultivated in Nigeria. In two consecutive years (2008/09), field experiments were conducted at two eco-sites, using the genotypes to determine their influence on the incidence of the gall midge and percentage parasitism by Platygaster diplosisae, Risbec (Diptera: Platygateridae), an endoparasitoid that has been identified as the most important natural enemy of AfRGM. The AfRGM tiller infestation and parasitism by the parasitoid were significantly influenced (P< 0.05) by the rice genotypes for the two locations and seasons. Tropical Oryza glaberrima (TOG) lines showed the highest level of resistance to AfRGM attacks.

Theactive substance,cecidogen secreted from the saliva ofgall midge larvaand the larval feeding on the meristematic tissue ofterminal and auxiliary shootapices in rice plantare responsible for gall formation (silver-shoot) in rice. Gall midge occurs in many of the rice growingareasandcausesconsiderable yield loss even up to 70 %in kharifcrop. Many resistant varieties are being cultivated but the occurrence ofbiotypic variation ofthe insectlimits their extensive use. Integrating chemical and genetic resistance appeared feasible to check the pest. Seasonal occurrence, host variation, resistance mechanism, biological, cultural and chemical control methodsare reviewed and future lines ofresearch on this important pest have also been discussed. Keywords: Rice gall midge; biotype; resistance mechanism; control methods. 1. Introduction Feeding ofOrseolia oryzae (Wood-Mason) larva, upon the meristematic tissues ofthe growing terminal or auxiliary shoot apices ofthe rice plant, produces gall. The rice gall formation results from the suppression ofleafprimordial differentiation at the growth cone and the development of the radialridges from the inner most leaf primordium followed by the elongation ofthe leafsheath (Perara and Fernando 1970;Hidaka 1974; Kalode 1980;Chiu-Shin-FoonJ980).

M. plana infestation could reduce the oil palm productivity by 40% if it remains untreated over two consecutive years. Despite the urgency to tackle this issue, the genome and transcriptome of M. plana have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we report a comprehensive transcriptome dataset from four different developmental stages of M. plana, comprising of egg, third instar larva, pupa and female adult. The de novo transcriptome assembly of the raw data had produced a total of 193,686 transcripts, which were then annotated against UniProt, NCBI non-redundant (NR) database, Gene Ontology, Cluster of Orthologous Group, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases. From this, 46,534 transcripts were annotated and mapped to 146 known metabolic or signalling KEGG pathways. The paper further identified 41 differentially expressed transcripts encoding seven genes in the chitin biosynthesis pathways, and their expressions across each developmental stage were further analysed.

Metabolic and transcriptomic changes induced in host during hypersensitive response mediated resistance in rice against the Asian rice gall midge. Rice, 9(1), 1‑15. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12284-016-0077-6 Background An incompatible interaction between rice (Oryza sativa) and the Asian rice gall midge (AGM, Orseolia oryzae Wood-Mason), that is usually manifested through a hypersensitive response (HR), represents an intricate relationship between the resistant host and its avirulent pest. We investigated changes in the transcriptome and metabolome of the host (indica rice variety: RP2068-18-3-5, RP), showing HR when attacked by an avirulent gall midge biotype (GMB1), to deduce molecular and biochemical bases of such a complex interaction. Till now, such an integrated analysis of host transcriptome and metabolome has not been reported for any rice-insect interaction. Results Transcript and metabolic profiling data revealed more than 7000 differentially expressed genes and 80 differentially accumulated metabolites, respectively, in the resistant host. Microarray data revealed deregulation of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism causing a C/N shift; up-regulation of tetrapyrrole synthesis and down-regulation of chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis. Integrated results revealed that genes involved in lipid peroxidation (LPO) were up-regulated and a marker metabolite for LPO (azelaic acid) accumulated during HR. This coincided with a greater accumulation of GABA (neurotransmitter and an insect antifeedant) at the feeding site. Validation of microarray results by semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed temporal variation in gene expression profiles. Conclusions The study revealed extensive reprogramming of the transcriptome and metabolome of RP upon GMB1 infestation leading to an HR that was induced by the generation and release of reactive oxygen species i.e.
