Environmental changes have led to cellular adjustment and adaptation in plant growth. External factors have, for example, influenced the growth pattern of Gynura procumbens plants and led to production of specific secondary metabolite internally for the purpose of differentiation and conditional interaction. These developmental patterns and production of metabolites are expressional characteristics of the plant, and so growers can have only a restricted range of movement or limited control over their reaction to environmental changes compared to their reaction to human or animal interactions. Even though metabolite production is pervasive among the plants, the need to explore abiotic control strategies for regulating the patterns of growth of Gynura procumbens as well as their accumulation of metabolites has been shown to be significant in recent studies of plant-abiotic interactions.

  • Aphis Spiraecola
    Rapid Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for Aphis spiraecola STAGE 1: INITIATION 1. What is the name of the pest? Aphis spiraecola Patch (Hemiptera, Aphididae) – Spiraea aphid (also Green citrus aphid). Synonyms: many, due to historic confusion over its identity; most common is Aphis citricola van der Goot (see CABI, 2013). 2. What initiated this rapid PRA? The UK Plant Health Risk Register identified the need to update the first UK PRA (MacLeod, 2000), taking into account recent information on hosts, impacts, vectored pathogens and UK status. 3. What is the PRA area? The PRA area is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. STAGE 2: RISK ASSESSMENT 4. What is the pest’s status in the EC Plant Health Directive (Council Directive 2000/29/EC1) and in the lists of EPPO2? Aphis spiraecola is not listed in the EC Plant Health Directive, not recommended for regulation as a quarantine pest by EPPO and it is not on the EPPO Alert List. 5. What is the pest’s current geographical distribution? Aphis spiraecola probably originates in the Far East. It is now very widespread around the world in temperate and tropical regions, occurring across every continent except Antarctica (CABI, 2013). In Europe, A. spiraecola is found around the Mediterranean, with a patchy Balkan distribution and it is absent from Scandinavia and the Baltic states. It is stated as present in: Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, and Russia (west of the Urals) (CABI 2013). It is not confirmed as being established in the Netherlands, either outdoors or under protection.

It is an efficient technology that performs extraction and leaves none or less organic residues compared to conventional processes. Recently, the simulation and prediction of process output from supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have been determined using intelligent system predictive tools, such as artificial neural networks. The prediction of the set of results from SFE for designing and scale up purposes is because apart from reducing the usage of extraction solvent, and the energy and time of the process, it can also generate a solution for problems that a complex mathematical model cannot solve. For example, the prediction of solubility is important because this particular fundamental value contributes to the optimizing process. A neural network is considered as one of the artificially intelligent systems, and furthermore a key technology in Industry 4.0.

Timmermann3, Daniel R. Papaj4, David B. Ritland5 & Jeffrey C. Oliver6 1234567890():,; Mimics should not exist without their models, yet often they do. In the system involving queen and viceroy butterflies, the viceroy is both mimic and co-model depending on the local abundance of the model, the queen. Here, we integrate population surveys, chemical ana- lyses, and predator behavior assays to demonstrate how mimics may persist in locations with low-model abundance. As the queen becomes less locally abundant, the viceroy becomes more chemically defended and unpalatable to predators. However, the observed changes in viceroy chemical defense and palatability are not attributable to differing host plant chemical defense profiles. Our results suggest that mimetic viceroy populations are maintained at localities of low-model abundance through an increase in their toxicity. Sharing the burden of predator education in some places but not others may also lower the fitness cost of warning signals thereby supporting the origin and maintenance of aposematism. 1 School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA. 2 Department of Entomology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA. 3 Department of Medicinal Chemistry, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA. 4 Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA. 5 Department of Biology, Erskine College, Due West, SC 29639, USA. 6 Office of Digital Innovation & Stewardship, University Libraries, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA.

Its incidence and distribution have extended manifolds in potato growing regions of India especially in seed production areas. In the recent past, it has been occurring on potato in the four agroecosystems of Shimla, Jalandhar, Modipuram and Gwalior. This study determines species distribution and its viruliferous nature with respect to most predominant viruses viz., Potato virus Yo (PVYo) and Potato leafroll virus (PLRV). Adults of A. solani (prestarved) were given an acquisition feeding of 24 hr on pure culture of PVYo and PLRV, and then released on to tissue culture raised healthy potato seedlings for inoculation. These plants were allowed for expression of external visual symptoms and were PCR tested at weekly intervals for 35 days.

  • PRA Cerataphis Lataniae
    CSL Pest Risk Analysis for Cerataphis lataniae CSL copyright, 2005 Pest Risk Analysis for Cerataphis lataniae Boisduval STAGE 1: PRA INITIATION 1. What is the name of the pest? Cerataphis lataniae (Boisduval) Hemiptera Aphididae the Latania aphid Synonyms: Ceratovacuna palmae (Baehr) Aphis palmae (Baehr) Boisduvalia lataniae (Boisduval) Note: In the past C. lataniae has been confused with both C. brasiliensis and C. orchidearum (Howard, 2001). As a result it is not always clear which of the older records for host plants and distribution refer to which species. BAYER CODES: CEATLA 2. What is the reason for the PRA? This PRA was initiated following a second interception of this species. Cerataphis lataniae was first intercepted in the UK in 1999 on a consignment of Archontophoenix alexandra and Brahea drandegai, from South Africa. Since then it has been intercepted twice more; on 30/05/02 on Cocos spp. and then again on 13/06/02 on Cocos nucifera. Both the findings in 2002 were at the same botanic garden and there is some suggestion the Coco plants were supplied by the nursery where the first interception was made in 1999. 3. What is the PRA area? As C. lataniae is present within the EU (Germany, Italy, Spain) (See point 11.) this PRA only considers the UK. STAGE 2: PEST RISK ASSESSMENT 4. Does the pest occur in the PRA area or does it arrive regularly as a natural migrant? No. Although Cerataphis lataniae is included on the British checklist this is likely to be an invalid record as there is no evidence to suggest it is established in the UK (R.
