Recent field screenings in Austria and Germany of different faba bean varieties were encouraging as consistently the lowest viral symptom development in the variety ‘GL Sunrise’ was reported. However, our own greenhouse experiments revealed that ‘GL Sunrise’ was not resistant to PNYDV but showed a similar susceptibility such as other common varieties, for example, ‘Fuego’. Therefore, we suspected varietal host traits were affecting the reproductive potential of virus vector species with reduced virus transmission, probably explaining the empirical superior health status in the field. Under greenhouse conditions, vector-specific intrinsic rates of increase (<i>r</i><sub><i>m</i></sub>) for <i>Acyrthosiphon pisum</i> Harris <i>Aphis fabae</i> Scopoli and <i>Megoura viciae</i> Buckton were similar for both varieties, except for a particular <i>A. pisum</i>-biotype derived from field pea, with a significantly reduced <i>r</i><sub><i>m</i></sub> and fecundity in ‘GL Sunrise’. Furthermore, vector abundance assessments in multisite varietal showed <i>A. pisum</i> as the predominant species. In overall cross-year and -site evaluation, early aphid census in ‘GL Sunrise’ at growth stage BBCH 61–65 indicated significantly lower primary <i>A. pisum</i>-infestation pressure (factor 0,43 relative to ‘Fuego’). This lower infestation level in ‘GL Sunrise’ was kept until BBCH 77–79 but the difference had diminished down to the non-significant factor of 0,74 <i>A. pisum</i>-density relative to ‘Fuego’ in the late census, respectively. Based on our findings of (i) basic PNYDV susceptibility, (ii) similar reproductive vector performance of key aphid species, together with (iii) a significantly weaker initial <i>A. pisum</i>-infestation levels in the field, we hypothesise ‘GL Sunrise’-specific additional antixenosis/antibiotic traits, must influence host recognition and settling behaviour of alighting (viruliferous) migrants and/or apteres, which finally determine the superior PNYDV-health status in ‘GL Sunrise’ at field conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":"149 3","pages":"442-451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jen.13391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially, we examined their physical traits using a microscope and a specific camera and observed differences between the two species. To further validate these distinctions on a molecular level, we designed primers based on mitochondrial genome sequences obtained from the NCBI database.

The best conditions for LAMP were 61°C and time 45 min, resulting in the most favourable amplification outcomes. Additionally, LAMP enables diagnosis at the individual level in the field, and qPCR and ddPCR can be used for relative or absolute quantification, even from pooled gDNA from multiple species.

Despite a consistent rise in yearly publication rates, citation frequencies have notably declined over time. The analysis further explores geographic trends, with authors from forty-nine countries contributing to the research landscape.

Additionally, the study identifies 159 different journals publishing articles on the subject, with the <i>Journal of Economic Entomology</i> leading in publication frequency. The most cited article focuses on the transgenic enhancement of rice plants against lepidopteran pests. Further examination, with an emphasis on factors influencing rearing conditions and behavioural studies, categorises research topics into areas such as basic biology, biological control and ethological control. Clustering analysis reveals distinct research foci, including the study of larval physiology, host–parasite interactions and the genetic basis of biological control strategies such as <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> and transgenic plants.

Effective control strategies are crucial to mitigate these losses. This study aimed to elucidate TPB host preferences and reproductive behaviours under various integrated pest management approaches. Experimental arenas with strawberry plants included treatments involving the predator <i>Nabis americoferus</i> (Carayon) (Hemiptera: Nabidae) and trap crops. In each arena, 30 adult TPBs were exposed to different configurations: (i) three strawberry plants, (ii) three strawberry plants with predators, (iii) one strawberry plant alongside two trap crop plants (buckwheat and canola), and (iv) one strawberry plant with the two trap crops and predators. TPB distribution among the arena, plant species and plant sites (flower, stem and adaxial and abaxial leaves) were monitored over 72 h. One week later, adults were removed and the number of emerged first instar nymphs (L1) was recorded three times postexperiment. The results indicate a preference shift in TPB behaviour influenced by plant diversity and predator presence. TPBs exhibited a reduced presence on strawberries when trap crops were introduced, with canola as a preferred plant. This preference for canola was supported by higher TPB offspring counts. Conversely, buckwheat, although less preferred, contributed to diluting TPB populations across plant species. The introduction of <i>N. americoferus</i> showed dual effects: While reducing TPB oviposition on canola, it increased TPB presence on strawberries, highlighting the importance of nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) of predators in agroecosystems. Nonetheless, the combination of canola as a trap crop and <i>N. americoferus</i> as a predator effectively reduces TPB presence on strawberry flowers, essential for fruit development.

For the egg stage, the mortality factors were classified as inviable due to infertility, predation, parasitism, desiccation and dislodgement. In both seasons, there was a significant difference in the natural mortality factors of <i>D. saccharalis</i>, with predation distinct from the others. Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) were the most frequent predatory agents and occurred at both distances and types of forest fragments. For the larval stage, the mortality factors were classified as predation, parasitism, drowning and unknown, with the unknown group differing from the others. Unknown factors might have included predation, larval movement towards other plants and displacement caused by wind after hatching. Overall, predation is a key mortality component of <i>D. saccharalis</i> suppression. Therefore, agricultural practices focused on the conservation of natural enemies such as predators may provide more sustainable management.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Entomology","volume":"149 2","pages":"278-291"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143475812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
