  • 'Genome to Paddock' Approach to Control Plant Disease
    PLENARY 1 – DANIEL MCALPINE MEMORIAL LECTURE A ‘genome to paddock’ approach to control plant disease 1 Barbara Howlett 1. University of Melbourne, Melbounre, VIC, Australia Pathogenic fungi evolve in concert with their plant hosts to invade and overcome defence responses. A detailed knowledge of these processes is essential for successful disease management strategies. Blackleg caused by the fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans, is the major disease of canola worldwide. In this lecture I describe how field data, such as disease incidence and severity, coupled with information about the biology, molecular genetics and genomics of the blackleg fungus has been exploited to control this important disease. Field populations of Leptosphaeria maculans can evolve and overcome disease resistance bred into canola within three years of commercial release of a cultivar. The risk of breakdown of resistance can be determined by monitoring disease severity of canola cultivars and changes in virulence of fungal populations using high throughput molecular assays that are based on sequences of avirulence genes. Farmers can avoid a predicted epidemic by sowing canola cultivars with different resistance genes in subsequent years. This strategy has been exploited in Australia and has averted substantial yield losses due to disease.

In total, 128 genera and 424 species are reported: 293 species in North Korea, 340 in South Korea, and 10 without precise localities in Korea; 22 species are excluded from the Korean fauna; 15 new national records from South Korea are reported, 10 of which are new to Korea. Key words: Chrysomelidae, fauna, new record, taxonomy, North Korea, South Korea. Х. В. Чо, С. Л. Ан. Аннотированный список жуков-листоедов (Coleop- tera: Chrysomelidae) Кореи с замечаниями и новыми указаниями // Дальне- восточный энтомолог. 2020. N 404. С. 1-36. Резюме. Приводится обновленный список жуков-листоедов (Chrysomelidae) Кореи с таксономическим и номенклатурным изменениями и замечаниями по 1 распространению. Предпринята первая попытка разделения фаунистических данных по всем корейским листоедам на указания для северной и южной частей полуострова. Всего приводятся 424 вида из 128 родов, из которых 293 вида отмечены для Северной, 340 видов – для Южной Кореи, а 10 видов – из Кореи без более точного указания; 22 вид искючен из фауны Корейского полу- острова; 15 видов впервые указаны для Республики Корея, из них 10 видов являются новыми для полуострова.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.
