    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Demographic analysis of arrhenotokous parthenogenesis and bisexual reproduction Received: 10 October 2017 Accepted: 8 February 2018 of Frankliniella occidentalis Published: xx xx xxxx (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Tianbo Ding1, Hsin Chi2, Ayhan Gökçe2, Yulin Gao3 & Bin Zhang 1 Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a serious pest that is capable of bisexual and arrhenotokous reproduction. In arrhenotokous reproduction, virgin females initially produce male ofspring; later, when their sons are sexually mature, the mothers begin bisexual reproduction by carrying out oedipal mating with their sons. Because a virgin female produces many male ofspring before oedipal mating occurs, multiple oedipal mating is common. In this study, we investigated the efect of multiple oedipal mating on the population growth of F. occidentalis by using the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. In the arrhenotokous cohorts, all unfertilized eggs developed into males. In the bisexual cohorts, the ofspring sex ratio was signifcantly female biased with the mean number of female ofspring and male ofspring being 72.68 and 29.00, respectively. These were the same as the net reproductive rate of female ofspring and male ofspring. In arrhenotokous cohorts, the number of males available for oedipal mating signifcantly afected the production of female ofspring. The number of female ofspring increased as the number of sons available for oedipal mating increased. Correctly characterizing this unique type of reproduction will provide important information for predicting the timing of future outbreaks of F. occidentalis, as well as aiding in formulating successful management strategies against the species. Te western fower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Tysanoptera: Tripidae), is one of the most economically important insect pests of many horticultural crops especially in greenhouses1,2.

Sneezing has exerted a strange fascination on humans throughout history, and induced sneezing was widely used by physicians for therapeutic purposes, on the assumption that sneezing eliminates noxious factors from the body, mainly from the head. The present contribution examines the various mixtures used for inducing sneezes (remedia sternutatoria) over the centuries. The majority of the constituents of the sneeze-inducing remedies are modulators of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. The TRP channel superfamily consists of large heterogeneous groups of channels that play numerous physiological roles such as thermosensation, chemosensation, osmosensation and mechanosensation. Sneezing is associated with the activation of the wasabi receptor, (TRPA1), typical ligand is allyl isothiocyanate and the hot chili pepper receptor, (TRPV1), typical agonist is capsaicin, in the vagal sensory nerve terminals, activated by noxious stimulants.

  • The Effect of Plant Development on Thrips Resistance in Capsicum
    Arthropod-Plant Interactions https://doi.org/10.1007/s11829-018-9645-6 ORIGINAL PAPER The effect of plant development on thrips resistance in Capsicum Pauline van Haperen1,2 · Roeland E. Voorrips1 · Joop J. A. van Loon2 · Ben Vosman1 Received: 28 March 2018 / Accepted: 25 September 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Western flower thrips [Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)] is a worldwide pest insect that causes damage in pepper cul- tivation, so growers would benefit from host plant resistance. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the effect of plant age on thrips resistance using nine Capsicum accessions with different levels of thrips resistance at three different plant ages, and (2) to study the effect of leaf age on thrips resistance in a resistant and a susceptible pepper accession. The fraction of first instar larvae that did not develop into second instar was used as a measure for thrips resistance. Our results show that plants start to develop thrips resistance when they are between 4 and 8 weeks old. This transition was most marked on the resistant accession CGN16975, on which about 50% of the L1 larvae developed into the next stage on 4-week-old plants, whereas none of them developed beyond the L1 stage on 8- or 12-week-old plants. Furthermore, it is shown that youngest fully opened leaves of the resistant accession CGN16975 are significantly more resistant to thrips than older leaves; 89% of the L1 larvae did not develop into the next stage on the youngest leaves, whereas 57% did not develop beyond the L1 stage on the oldest leaves.

  • Wildflower Growing Guide Rewilding Project
    Wildflower Growing Guide Rewilding Project The flowers that are included in the Pharmabees seed mix are below: Common Knapweed Corn Marigold Oxeye Daisy White Campion Dandelion Corn Poppy Corn Chamomile Cornflower White Clover Bluebell These flowers were chosen by the Pharmabees team. These flowers have been identified as part of a University research project to develop a wild flower seed mix which can be used to support pollinators and to promote biodiversity. These flowers have been identified through our research on honey. Honey with high antibacterial activity was analysed. The pollens found in the honey were identified through DNA analysis. We were able to identify the flowers in your seed mix. We are conducting additional research on these plants and need your help. Please monitor your growing area and watch your flowers grow. We will be asking you to monitor your growing area for pollinators, and to collect some additional data for us. Thank you for being an important part of our research! Instructions: Choose a growing area around 1 meter squared. Firstly, remove all weeds, grass, and other plants. It is very important to remove weeds such as nettles, thistles, and Japanese knotweed. These weeds and grasses grow quickly, and will overtake your wildflower seeds if not removed. Cultivate the growing site to a depth of around 10cm. This can be done with a rake, or on large areas a plough. Sowing can take place throughout most of the year. The months of March/April/August and September are generally most suited. Mix the seeds before spreading. Ensure all the seed is mixed to ensure an even spread.

  • Heptacodium Miconioides
    photograph © Peter Del Tredici, Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University An old multi-stemmed specimen of Heptacodium miconioides growing in woodland on Tian Tai Shan, Zhejiang, September 2004, probably the first wild plant ofHeptacodium to be seen by a Western botanist since its discovery by Ernest Wilson in 1907. Heptacodium miconioides Rehder In his last ‘Tree of the Year’, JOHN GRIMSHAW discusses what distinguishes a shrub from a tree and writes about a large shrub introduced to cultivation first in the early twentieth century and again in the late twentieth century, that is rare in the wild. Introduction When the terms of reference for New Trees were drawn up (see pp. 1-2), having agreed that the book would contain only trees, we had to address the deceptive question ‘what is a tree?’ Most of us ‘can recognise a tree when we see one’ and in many ways this is as good an answer as one needs, but when is a woody plant not a tree? When it’s a shrub, of course – but what is a shrub? In the end we adopted the simple definitions that a tree ‘normally [has] a single stem reaching or exceeding 5 m in height, at least in its native habitat. A shrub would normally have multiple woody stems emerging from the base or close to the ground, and would seldom exceed 5 m in height’ (Grimshaw & Bayton 2009). In most cases this served to make a clear distinction, but one of the casualties that fell between the two stools was the Chinese plant Heptacodium miconioides, a significant recent introduction described by theFlora of China (Yang et al.

  • Environmental Assessment Northern Border Remote Radio Link Pilot Project Essex and Orleans Counties, Vermont
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NORTHERN BORDER REMOTE RADIO LINK PILOT PROJECT ESSEX AND ORLEANS COUNTIES, VERMONT February 2019 Lead Agency: U.S. Customs and Border Protection 24000 Avila Road, Suite 5020 Laguna Niguel, California 92677 Prepared by: Gulf South Research Corporation 8081 Innovation Park Drive Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70820 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background and Purpose and Need The area near the U.S./Canada International border in Vermont is extremely remote and contains dense forest and steep terrain intersected by numerous streams, lakes, and bogs. These conditions make it very difficult for U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents to patrol the area and communicate with each other and station personnel while on patrol. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), has developed a prototypical Remote Radio Link Project that includes the installation of a buried communications cable to enhance the communications capability and safety of Border Patrol agents who are conducting enforcement activities in these areas. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is assisting S&T in developing this Environmental Assessment (EA) to address the proposed installation and operation of the pilot project. The purpose of this pilot project is to determine the effectiveness of this type of remote radio link system in four-season weather. The need for the project is to identify such reliable communication methods that can enhance USBP enforcement activities and agent safety. Proposed Action The Proposed Action includes the installation, operation, and maintenance of a Remote Radio Link Pilot Project along the U.S./Canada International border west of Norton, Vermont.

The aerial parts of plants were harvested in august, dried quickly and alcoholic extracts were prepared. Total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), DPPH radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) value, and antimicrobial properties were determined using the extracts. TPC showed that Lebanon thyme had higher concentration compared with Romanian thyme (13.78 ± 0.95 mg GAE/g DW and 12.14 ± 0.97 mg GAE/g DW, respectively). DPPH• was calculated as IC50 and the sample results were compared with gallic acid. FRAP results showed similar values 42.71 ± 4.24 µM Fe+2/g DW (Romanian thyme) and 39.55 ± 4.21 µM Fe+2/g DW (Lebanon thyme). The antibacterial activity of summer savory was found to have maximum effect against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 9144. Bioactive compounds, measured as total phenolic content, were in higher concentration in both extracts which also relates to their antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
