  • Callosobruchus Spp.) in Vigna Crops: a Review
    NU Science Journal 2007; 4(1): 01 - 17 Genetics and Breeding of Resistance to Bruchids (Callosobruchus spp.) in Vigna Crops: A Review Peerasak Srinives1*, Prakit Somta1 and Chanida Somta2 1Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture at Kamphaeng Saen, Kasetsart University, Nakhon Parham, 73140 Thailand 2Asian Regional Center, AVRDC-The World Vegetable Center, Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Campus, Nakhon Pathom, 73140 Thailand *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Vigna crops include mungbean (V. radiata), blackgram (V. mungo), azuki bean (V. angularis) and cowpea (V. unguiculata) are agriculturally and economically important crops in tropical and subtropical Asia and/or Africa. Bruchid beetles, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) and C. maculatus (F.) are the most serious insect pests of Vigna crops during storage. Use of resistant cultivars is the best way to manage the bruchids. Bruchid resistant cowpea and mungbean have been developed and comercially used, each with single resistance source. However, considering that enough time and evolutionary pressure may lead bruchids to overcome the resistance, new resistance sources are neccessary. Genetics and mechanism of the resistance should be clarified and understood to develop multiple resistance cultivars. Gene technology may be a choice to develop bruchid resistance in Vigna. In this paper we review sources, mechanism, genetics and breeding of resistance to C. chinensis and C. maculatus in Vigna crops with the emphasis on mungbean, blackgram, azuki bean and cowpea. Keywords: Bruchid resistance, Callosobruchus spp., Legumes, Vigna spp. INTRODUCTION The genus Vigna falls within the tribe Phaseoleae and family Fabaceae. Species in this taxon mainly distribute in pan-tropical Asia and Africa. Seven Vigna species are widely cultivated and known as food legume crops.

Diana Gallagher Master’s Project for the M.S. in Entomology An Annotated Bibliography of Archaeoentomology April 2020 Introduction For my Master’s Degree Project, I have undertaken to compile an annotated bibliography of a selection of the current literature on archaeoentomology. While not exhaustive by any means, it is designed to cover the main topics of interest to entomologists and archaeologists working in this odd, dark corner at the intersection of these two disciplines. I have found many obscure works but some publications are not available without a trip to the Royal Society’s library in London or the expenditure of far more funds than I can justify. Still, the goal is to provide in one place, a list, as comprehensive as possible, of the scholarly literature available to a researcher in this area. The main categories are broad but cover the most important subareas of the discipline. Full books are far out-numbered by book chapters and journal articles, although Harry Kenward, well represented here, will be publishing a book in June of 2020 on archaeoentomology.

  • Biology and Biointensive Management of Acanthoscelides Obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) – a Pest of Kidney Beans Wordwide
    11th International Working Conference on Stored Product Protection Biology and biointensive management of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) – a pest of kidney beans wordwide Thakur, D.R.*#, Renuka Department of Biosciences, Himachal Pradesh University, Summerhill, Shimla 171005, India *Corresponding author, Email: [email protected], [email protected] #Presenting author, Email: [email protected] [email protected] DOI: 10.14455/DOA.res.2014.24 Abstract Insects in the family Bruchidae are commonly called “pulse weevils” and are cosmopolitan in distribution. These beetles cause serious economic loss of legume commodities both in fields and every year. Pulses constitute the main source of protein for developing countries like India where per capita consumption of animal protein is very low. Due to their high protein quantity and quality, legumes are considered as “poor man‟s meat”. A large number of non-native pulse beetles have crossed geographical boundaries and becoming cosmopolitan in distribution, thus posing major pest problem worldwide. A kidney bean pest, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) native to Central and Southern America has recently infested stored kidney beans in the Indian subcontinent. The present investigations determined life cycle, behaviour, facundity, pest status, host range and developmental compatibility on diffent legumes and different cultivars of kidney beans. Acetone and alcoholic extracts of some botanicals have been tested and proved effective to suppress facundity, egg hatch and adult longivity of the pest population under laboratory conditions. Keywords: Acanthoscelides obtectus, biology, resistance, developmental compatiblity, botanical management 1. Introduction Most pulses have 17-24% protein content which are 2.3 times higher than traditional cereals. Any stored materials of plant origin are vulnerable to attack by insect pests if the pulses are dried and stored improperly.

  • Insects Injurious to Beans and Peas
    INSECTS INJURIOUS TO BEANS AND PEAS. By F. H. CHITTENDEN, Assistant Entomologist, INTRODUCTION. Beans, peas, cowpeas, and other edible legumes are subject to injury by certain species of beetles, commonly known as weevils, which deposit their eggs upon or within the pods on the growing plants in the field or garden and develop Ivithin the seed. Four forms of these weevils, members of the genus Bruchus of the family Bru- chidae, which inhabit the United States, are very serious drawbacks to the culture of these crops in many portions of the country. The spe- cific enemy of the pea is the pea weevil, and of the bean, the common bean weevil, both of sufficiently wide distribution and abundance to hold the highest rank among injurious insects.- Cowpeas are attacked by two species of these beetles, known, respectively, as the four- spotted bean weevil and the cowpea weevil. These latter are of con- siderable importance economically in the Southern States and in tropical climates, as well as in northern localities in which cowpeas are grown or to which they are from time to time shipped in seed from the South and from abroad. As with the insects that live upon stored cereals, the inroads of the larvse of these weevils in leguminous seeds cause great waste, and particularly is this true of beans that are kept hi store for any considerable time. In former times popular opinion held that the germination of leguminous food seed was not impaired by the action of the larval beetle in eating out its interior, but this belief was erroneous, as will be shown in the discussion of the nature of the damage by the pea weevil.

During a study involving the coffee berry borer, we observed coffee bean weevils emerging from field-collected coffee berries and used micro-computerized tomography (micro-CT) scans to observe the insect inside the berry. Two eggs had eclosed inside the berry, resulting in observations of a newly eclosed adult beetle and a 5th instar larva, each feeding on one of the two seeds. This is the first time since 1775, when the insect was first described, that the insect has been observed inside a coffee berry. Keywords: coffee quality; insect biology; losses; stored coffee; stored product pest 1. Introduction The genus Araecerus Schönherr comprises ca. 75 species [1], with the coffee bean weevil, Araecerus fasciculatus (De Geer) (Coleoptera: Anthribidae), being the most economically important. Chittenden [2,3] coined the name coffee bean weevil and Valentine [1] has published a succinct account on the controversy involving the many different scientific names used for the insect.
