Facultative bacterial endosymbionts benefit pea aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum under heat stress
TL;DR: Natural populations of pea aphids in California contain at least two facultative bacterial secondary symbionts (pea aphidsecondary symbiont, PASS, or pea Aphid rickettsia, PAR) in a range of frequencies throughout the state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fitness effects of two facultative endosymbiotic bacteria on the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, and the blue alfalfa aphid, A. kondoi
TL;DR: Alate production in pea aphids was significantly increased in large populations of two PASS‐ and PAR‐positive subclones relative to their parent clones, and this ameliorative effect of facultative bacteria at 25 °C was not found for two other sets of parent clones and their derived sub clones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and induced differences in probing behavior of two biotypes of the greenbug, schizaphis graminum, in relation to resistance in sorghum
TL;DR: A recently discovered biotype of the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), biotype E (GBE), was found to grow and reproduce at approximately twice the rate of biotype C (GBC) on a GBC‐resistant variety of sorghum, IS 809, and the significance of these findings towards an understanding of the mechanism of resistance ofIS 809 to GBC is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uresiphita reversalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): Carrier-Mediated Uptake and Sequestration of Quinolizidine Alkaloids Obtained from the Host Plant Teline monspessulana
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that QA uptake does not proceed by simple diffusion but instead with the aid of a carrier mechanism; this could explain the differential alkaloid uptake observed in living larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of Schizaphis graminum (Homoptera: Aphididae) to leaf excision in resistant and susceptible sorghum
TL;DR: Greenbugs, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), were reared on intact and excised leaves of varieties of sorghum which differed in their suitability as hosts for this aphid, indicating that these nutrients are not of primary importance in Sorghum suitability to the greenbug.
