Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Meagher & Landolt: Floral Lures Attractive To Velvetbean Caterpillar 73 BINARY FLORAL LURE ATTRACTIVE TO VELVETBEAN CATERPILLAR ADULTS (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) ROBERT L. MEAGHER1 AND PETER J. LANDOLT2 1USDA, ARS, CMAVE, 1700 SW 23rd Drive, Gainesville, FL, 32608 2USDA, ARS, 5230 Konnowac Pass Road, Wapato, WA 98951 USA ABSTRACT Evaluation of combinations of flower odor compounds in northern Florida revealed that lina- lool was synergistic in attractiveness with phenylacetaldehyde (PAA) to the migratory moth velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner). This noctuid was the most common species collected from traps with a binary lure composed of PAA and linalool, with over 900 males and females collected in Sep 2005 and almost 13,000 collected in a 4-week period in Aug and Sep 2006. Different lid openings of the vials containing the chemical blend in an at- tempt to vary the release rate of the binary lure did not affect the number of velvetbean cat- erpillar moths captured. Traps baited with the binary lure and placed in May, Jun and early Jul of 2005 and 2009 failed to capture adults demonstrating the absence of adult moths early in the season. Management application of floral attractants in an attract-and-kill strategy is discussed. Key Words: floral lure, attractant, trapping, moths, Anticarsia gemmatalis RESUMEN Una evaluación de las combinaciones de olores de compuestos florales en el norte de Florida revelo que linalol era sinergista con el fenilaldehido (PAA) en la atracción a la polilla migra- toria gusano del frijol (Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner). Este noctuido fue la especie más co- mún en trampas colectadas con cebos del compuesto binario PAA y el linalol, con más de 900 machos y hembras colectados en septiembre de 2005 y casi 13.000 recogidos en un período de 4 semanas en agosto y septiembre de 2006. Con el fin de variar la velocidad de liberación del atractivo binario se usaron tapas de diferente abertura las cuales no afectaron el número de adultos del gusano del frijol capturados. Trampas cebadas con un señuelo binario coloca- das en mayo, junio, y principios de julio del 2005 y 2009 no capturaron adultos demostrando la ausencia de polillas adultas a principios de la temporada. Se discute el manejo para la aplicación de atrayentes florales en una estrategia para atraer-y matar. Translation provided by the authors.

  • Modularity and Evolutionary Constraints in a Baculovirus Gene
    Oliveira et al. BMC Systems Biology 2013, 7:87 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1752-0509/7/87 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Modularity and evolutionary constraints in a baculovirus gene regulatory network Juliana Velasco Oliveira1,3, Anderson Fernandes de Brito1, Carla Torres Braconi1, Caio César de Melo Freire1, Atila Iamarino1 and Paolo Marinho de Andrade Zanotto1,2* Abstract Background: The structure of regulatory networks remains an open question in our understanding of complex biological systems. Interactions during complete viral life cycles present unique opportunities to understand how host-parasite network take shape and behave. The Anticarsia gemmatalis multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AgMNPV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus, whose genome may encode for 152 open reading frames (ORFs). Here we present the analysis of the ordered cascade of the AgMNPV gene expression. Results: We observed an earlier onset of the expression than previously reported for other baculoviruses, especially for genes involved in DNA replication. Most ORFs were expressed at higher levels in a more permissive host cell line. Genes with more than one copy in the genome had distinct expression profiles, which could indicate the acquisition of new functionalities. The transcription gene regulatory network (GRN) for 149 ORFs had a modular topology comprising five communities of highly interconnected nodes that separated key genes that are functionally related on different communities, possibly maximizing redundancy and GRN robustness by compartmentalization of important functions. Core conserved functions showed expression synchronicity, distinct GRN features and significantly less genetic diversity, consistent with evolutionary constraints imposed in key elements of biological systems. This reduced genetic diversity also had a positive correlation with the importance of the gene in our estimated GRN, supporting a relationship between phylogenetic data of baculovirus genes and network features inferred from expression data.

O trabalho foi conduzido em quatro safras, de 1994/95 a 97/98, em Cruz Alta – RS, avaliando-se os seguintes fatores sobre a eficiência do AgMNPV: formulações comerciais disponíveis; pH da calda; volume de calda; horário de aplicação; ponta de pulverização; e da mistura do vírus com óleo mineral. As parcelas consistiram de 28 fileiras de soja com 10 m de comprimento e espaçamento de 40 cm, adotando-se delineamento de blocos completamente casualizados, com quatro repetições. As amostragens foram realizadas pelo método do pano, determinando-se o número de lagartas infectadas pelo vírus (LI). As formulações comerciais produzidas pela Nitral, Nova Era, Coodetec e Embrapa controlaram adequadamente a praga, em comparação à testemunha; no entanto, foram significativamente inferiores à preparação do vírus obtida por maceração e filtragem de lagartas, demonstrando que essas formulações necessitam aperfeiçoamento.

    Arthropod Predators of Velvetbean Caterpillar., Anticarsia gemmatalis Hiibner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)., Eggs and Larvae KRIS E. GODFREY,' WILLARD H. WHITCOMB, AND JERRY L. STIMAC2 Department of Entomology and Nematology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 Environ. Entomol. 18(1): 118-123 (1989) ABSTRACT Arthropod predators of velvetbean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hiib- ner, eggs and larvae were determined using a direct observation technique. Observations of predation events were made on soybean foliage and the ground below the foliage. Predation on eggs and three size classes of larvae is presented as proportional seasonal consumption over 14 to 16 h by each arthropod predator species. On the foliage, Spanogonicus albofas- ciatus (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) and Geocoris punctipes (Say) (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) were observed eating velvetbean caterpillar eggs in 1981. For small velvetbean caterpillar larvae, Tropiconabis capsiformis (Germar) (Hemiptera: Nabidae) was the major consumer in 1981, whereas in 1982, G. punctipes and Calleida decora (F.) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Downloaded from were the major consumers. For medium and large velvetbean caterpillar larvae in 1981, tettigoniids (Orthoptera) consumed the largest proportion. On the ground, the ant Pheidole morrisi Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) was the major consumer of all three size classes of velvetbean caterpillar larvae in 1981. In 1982, the earwig Lab/dura riparia (Pallas) (Der- maptera: Labiduridae) ate the greatest proportion of small velvetbean caterpillar larvae on the ground. http://ee.oxfordjournals.org/ KEY WORDS Insecta, Arachnida, predation PREDICTING THE EFFECT of arthropod predators be used to partition estimates of predator-induced on pest populations is a prerequisite to effective mortality for each predator species (Elvin et al. use of arthropod predators in pest management 1983).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Behavioral and nutritional effect of rutin (quercetin 3-O-rutinosídeo) on Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lep.: Noctuidae), a major soybean defoliator in Brazil, was evaluated from the third instar to pupation. Rutin is one of the flavonol glycosides identified in the leaves of the wild soybean PI 227687. Larval weight and amount of ingested food decreased as rutin concentration in the diet increase. An interactive effect between feeding time and diet (treatment) was observed on insect growth; when larvae fed on pure-diet, feeding time elongation resulted in heavier pupae. Differently, the weight of larvae fed on rutin-diet remained almost stable, in spite of eating for longer. A. gemmatalis growth was negatively influenced by rutin-diet not only by feeding deterrence but also by post-ingestive effect on insect growth, since after adjustment of pupal weight by the amount of ingested food (covariate), the effect of diet remained significant. Rutin negatively influenced A. gemmatalis growth as result of pre-ingestive effect, indicated by reduction in food consumption, and post-ingestive effect, indicated by lower conversion of ingested food into body mass and food assimilation.

The Cry1Ac protein provides protection from feeding damage caused by targeted lepidopteran pests. The cry1Ac gene was transferred into the genome of soybean cells using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. The MON 87701 product concept is to reduce or replace current insecticide applications to control lepidopteran pests in tropical and subtropical soybean production regions where these insects cause significant plant damage and yield loss.

  • Managing Soybean Insects in Texas
    ENTO-045 9/15 Managing Soybean Insects in Texas Suhas S. Vyavhare Postdoctoral Research Associate Michael O. Way Professor of Entomology Allen Knutson Professor and Extension Entomologist Stephen Biles Extension Agent–Integrated Pest Management Rebecca A. Pearson Research Assistant The Texas A&M University System Acknowledgments The United Soybean Board/Texas Soybean Board provided funding for this publication. Brent Batchelor, county Extension agent, Matagorda County, and Cliff Mock, crop consultant, provided contacts for farmers and practical soybean production expertise. The following Texas soybean farmers allowed the use of their fields: Herb Dishman; Chris Latta; Cary Orsak; and Ray, Neal, and Grant Stoesser. This publication is dedi- cated to Mark Muegge and Julian Craigmiles. This is a revision of a previous edition published in 1999. Texas soybean insect pest management has changed considerably in the past 16 years. New varieties have been released, new production systems adopted, new and emerging pests have become problematic, and new pest management tools developed. The objectives of this revised edition are to: 1) describe the major soybean insect pests of Texas, including their associated damage in relation to soybean growth stages, 2) describe the various sampling methods for these pests, and 3) list the management tools for each pest in terms of treatment thresholds. Use the control recommendations in this publication as a guide. Every soybean field differs in terms of soil, microclimate, surrounding cropping patterns, and farmer input. The old adage “one size fits all” clearly does not apply to soybean pest management. The information given here will help stakeholders better manage soybean insect pest problems for maximum profits with minimal inputs, and preserve and improve the soybean agro- ecosystem.
