The wheat curl mite, Aceria tosichella Keifer, transmits at least three harmful viruses, wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), high plains virus (HPV), and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) throughout the Great Plains. This virus complex is considered to be the most serious disease of winter wheat in the western Great Plains. One component of managing this disease has been developing mite resistance in wheat; however, identification of mite biotypes has complicated deployment and stability of resistance. This biotypic variability in mites and differential virus transmission by different mite populations underscores the need to better understand …

The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae), and its associated pathogen “Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” (Ca. L. solanacearum), the putative causal agent of zebra chip (ZC) disease in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), were sampled in commercial potato fields and untreated control plots for 3 yr in multiple locations in Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado. Populations of the potato psyllid varied across years and across potato growing regions. However, the percentage of potato psyllids infected with Ca. L. solanacearum although variable across years, was consistently highest in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas (LRGV), the reported overwintering …
Bean Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) And Bean Pod Mottle Virus In Soybean: Biology, Ecology, And Management, Buyung A. R. Hadi, Jeffrey D. Bradshaw, Marlin E. Rice, John J. Hill
Bean Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) And Bean Pod Mottle Virus In Soybean: Biology, Ecology, And Management, Buyung A. R. Hadi, Jeffrey D. Bradshaw, Marlin E. Rice, John J. Hill

Bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata (Förster), is a pest of soybean found in many production areas in the United States. The bean leaf beetle larvae feed on soybean root nodules, whereas the adults feed on the above ground parts of soybean such as cotyledon, leaves, and pods. Bean leaf beetle is also a very efficient vector of Bean pod mottle virus, a widespread virus of soybean in the south and southeastern United States with recent expansion into the north central region of the country. This article summarizes bean leaf beetle biology, ecology, and its impact on soybean production in the …
Larval Survival And Plant Injury Of Cry1ab-Susceptible, -Resistant, And -Heterozygous Genotypes Of The Sugarcane Borer On Transgenic Corn Containing Single Or Pyramided Bt Genes, David S. Wangila, B. Rogers Leonard, Yaoyu Bai, Graham P. Head, Fangneng Huang
Larval Survival And Plant Injury Of Cry1ab-Susceptible, -Resistant, And -Heterozygous Genotypes Of The Sugarcane Borer On Transgenic Corn Containing Single Or Pyramided Bt Genes, David S. Wangila, B. Rogers Leonard, Yaoyu Bai, Graham P. Head, Fangneng Huang

Transgenic corn (Zea mays L.) products expressing multiple Bt proteins targeting a same group of insect pests have become commercially available in the U.S. The first commercialized pyramided Bt corn technologies for managing lepidopteran pests include Genuity® VT Triple Pro™ and Genuity® SmartStax™. In this study, larval survival and plant injury of Cry1Ab-susceptible (Cry1Ab-SS), -resistant (Cry1Ab-RR), and -heterozygous (Cry1Ab-RS) genotypes of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis F., on five commercial corn hybrids were evaluated in a leaf tissue bioassay and two greenhouse trials during 2010–2011. The five hybrids included two non-Bt corn and three Bt corn hybrids representing three …
