The effects of probing behavior of <em>Y. flavovittatus</em> on sugarcane and its implication for SCWL phytoplasma transmission are yet to be studied. In this research, we used DC electropenetrography (EPG) to define waveforms produced by adult and fifth-instar nymphal <em>Y. flavovittatus</em> on sugarcane and correlated them with salivary sheath termini (likely stylet tip locations) via light and scanning electron microscopy. The following six waveforms and associated activities are described: (NP) non-probing, (Yf1) stylet probing into epidermal cells, (Yf2) stylet probing through mesophyll/parenchyma, (Yf3) stylet contact with phloem and likely watery salivation, (Yf4) active ingestion of sap from phloem, probably sieve elements, and (Yf5) unknown stylet activity in multiple cell types. Study findings reveal that the <em>Y. flavovittatus</em> vector ingests sieve tube element more frequently and for longer durations than any other cell type, supporting that <em>Y. flavovittatus</em> is primarily a phloem feeder. Adult <em>Y. flavovittatus</em> show a longer total probing duration and produces a high density of puncture holes on sugarcane leaves. Moreover, probing behaviors revealed that adults typically ingest phloem sap more frequently and for longer durations than fifth-instar nymphs, enhancing sap ingestion. Furthermore, we propose that adults are more likely to acquire (during Yf4) and inoculate (during Yf3) higher amounts of phytoplasma than fifth-instar nymphs. This information on the penetration behavior of leafhopper <em>Y. flavovittatus</em> serves as a basis for advanced studies on the transmission mechanism of SCWL phytoplasma.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136397782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the respiratory patterns can range from continuous gas exchange (CGE) to discontinuous gas exchange (DGE). In the latter, spiracles are kept closed during much of the time, and gas exchange occurs only during short periods when spiracles are opened. While ultimate causes and benefits of DGE remain debated, it is often seen during insect diapause, a deep resting stage that insects induce to survive unfavourable environmental conditions, such as winter. The present study explores the shifts between CGE and DGE during diapause by performing long continuous respirometry measurements at multiple temperatures during key diapause stages in the green-veined white butterfly <em>Pieris napi</em>. The primary goal is to explore respiratory pattern as a non-invasive method to assess whether pupae are in diapause or have transitioned to post-diapause. Respiratory pattern can also provide insight into endogenous processes taking place during diapause, and the prolonged duration of diapause allows for the detailed study of the thermal dependence of the DGE pattern. Pupae change from CGE to DGE a few days after pupation, and this shift coincides with metabolic rate suppression during diapause initiation. Once in diapause, pupae maintain DGE even at elevated temperatures that significantly increase CO<sub>2</sub> production. Instead of shifting respiratory pattern to CGE, pupae increase the frequency of DGE cycles. Since total CO<sub>2</sub> released during a single open phase remains unchanged, our results suggest that <em>P. napi</em> pupae defend a maximum internal ρCO<sub>2</sub> set point, even in their heavily suppressed diapause state. During post-diapause development, CO<sub>2</sub> production increases as a function of development and changes to CGE during temperature conditions permissive for development. Taken together, the results show that respiratory patterns are highly regulated during diapause in <em>P. napi</em> and change predictably as diapause progresses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of insect physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022191023001117/pdfft?md5=e300e7a4c29b3ce33108e26952a6e6b4&pid=1-s2.0-S0022191023001117-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136397783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
