Commercial production of raspberry in North Dakota is challenging due to lack of cultivars with winter hardiness. In this study, two diploid red raspberry cultivars 'Prelude' and 'Polana' that are reported hardy in USDA hardiness zone 5 were used to induce polyploid raspberries that may have benefits of greater growth vigor, enhanced stress tolerance, larger fruit size, and higher yield. The effects of cultivar, anti-mitotic agent and its concentration, and the treatment duration on in vitro and ex vitro polyploidy induction were determined. 'Prelude' succeeded in polyploidy induction through the colchicine treatment of in vitro explants (apical and nodal buds) and ex vitro root dipping. There were three verified tetraploid 'Prelude' plants. One tetraploid plant of 'Prelude' was developed when in vitro explants were treated with 160 mM colchicine for 96 hours and the other two were developed when the root system was dipped in the 10 mM colchicine for eight hours. No polyploid plants of 'Polana' were developed. Oryzalin, another anti-mitotic agent, did not succeed in polyploidy induction in this study. This study provides useful information on polyploidy induction in raspberry species, which could benefit future germplasm enhancement of raspberry and other Rubus species.","PeriodicalId":348664,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Horticulture","volume":"45 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131031505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infestation of CMBS negatively impacts the flowering and reduces the aesthetic quality of crapemyrtles. The widespread use of soil-applied neonicotinoid insecticides to suppress the CMBS infestation may be hazardous to pollinators and other beneficial insects. Natural enemies of CMBS are important agents for developing integrated environmentally friendly management strategies. This study evaluated the performance of larval green lacewing ( Chrysoperla rufilabris ) as a biocontrol agent of CMBS. Predatory behavior of the larval C. rufilabris upon CMBS was documented under a stereomicroscope using infested crapemyrtle samples collected from different locations in College Station (Texas, USA). Predation potential of C. rufilabris upon CMBS eggs and foraging performance using Y-maze assay were investigated under laboratory conditions. Results confirmed that larval C. rufilabris preyed on CMBS nymphs, eggs, and adult females. The evaluation of predation potential results showed that 3 rd instar C. rufilabris consumed significantly more CMBS eggs (176.4 ± 6.9) than 2 nd (151.5 ± 6.6) or 1 st instar (11.8 ± 1.3) in 24 hours. Results from the Y-maze assay indicated that larval C. rufilabris could target CMBS in the dark, indicating that some cues associated with olfactory response were likely involved when preying on CMBS. This study is the first report that validated C. rufilabris as a natural predator of CMBS and its potential as a biological agent to control CMBS. Future investigation about the olfactory response of larval C. rufilabris to CMBS would benefit the development of environmentally friendly strategies to manage CMBS.","PeriodicalId":348664,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Horticulture","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115816216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
