Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for current
awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not
indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However,
the citations are a substantial resource for recent
investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of
bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested user who,
in many cases, could not access it by any other means. The
bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line searches of
the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and evidence of
extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
construed as endorsement or disapproval.

Abstract: The effects of a tri-trophic level (grain sorghum-
greenbug-coccinellid) interaction were examined in the laboratory
using greenhouse-grown plants. Two resistant sorghum, Sorghum
bicolor (L.) Moench, hybrids, Dekalb DK-41Y and DK-59E, which
exhibit antibiosis to greenbugs, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani),
were tested along with a greenbug-susceptible hybrid, Horizon 101G.
Single egg clusters from Hippodamia convergens Guerin females were
randomly separated at hatching into two groups. Each group was fed
greenbugs from either a resistant or susceptible grain sorghum
hybrid. Plant antibiosis reduced larval-pupal survival and
increased the amount of time from egg eclosion to pupation in
coccinellids that fed on greenbugs from both of the resistant
hybrids compared with the susceptible hybrid. Survival to adulthood
was 82.9% in the 101G-susceptible treatment and 62.1% for larvae
fed greenbugs from resistant KD-41Y. Survival was 91.6% in the
susceptible 101G treatment and 86.5% in the resistant DK-59E
treatment. Resistant sorghum hybrid DK-59E had a significant
treatment-by-sex interaction effect on coccinellid adult weights,
with females that consumed greenbugs from the resistant hybrid
weighing less, whereas males weighed more when compared with the
respective sexes feeding on greenbugs from the susceptible sorghum
hybrid.

Abstract: Laboratory tests demonstrated that 'Repell,' a
cultivar of perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne L., infected with
the fungal endophyte, Acremonium lolii Latch, Christensen &
Samuels, exhibited a high level of insect resistance to the hairy
chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus hirtus Montandon. First and third
instars and adult hairy chinch bugs reared on endophyte-infected
plants had significantly lower survival. On endophyte-free
'Repell,' nymphs and adults resided primarily on the leaf sheath.
In contrast, on endophyte-infected 'Repell,' nymphs and adults
either avoided the plant or resided only on the endophyte-free leaf
blade. Nymphs were able to detect the presence of the
endophyte in a choice test and consistently selected endophyte-free
'Repell.' These results support field observations of
resistance in association with endophyte-infected ryegrass and
suggest that the incorporation of endophytes into ryegrass will
lead to significant reductions in hairy chinch bug infestations.

Abstract: Oviposition resistance-nonpreference of boll weevils,
Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, was measured on day-neutral
(flowering response not sensitive to day-length) lines of
primitive cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. Six of nine lines
(T-109DN, T-277-2-6DN, T-330DN, T-759DN, T-763DN, and T-790DN) had
significantly less boll weevil oviposition and significantly fewer
boll weevil-damaged squares than the susceptible checks,
'Stoneville 213,' and 'Deltapine 41,' or 'Deltapine 61' in both
laboratory and field tests. The level of field resistance in these
primitive cottons approximated that of the frego-
nectariless resistant check, La.81-560FN. These primitive day-
neutral-derived lines represent an important level and a
previously unexploited source of resistance that can be used
readily for germplasm enhancement of upland cotton. Their
resistance was not attributed to any morphological trait.

Abstract: The agronomic performance of two maize (Zea mays L.)
synthetics, BSAA and BSBB, was investigated following four cycles
of S1 recurrent selection for resistance to first-generation
European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner) (ECB) and
Diplodia (Diplodia maydis (Berk.) Sacc.) stalk rot (DSR). The
original and four improved cycle populations (C0-C4), their crosses
to a single-cross tester, crosses between synthetics, and three
single-cross checks were evaluated in five Iowa
environments. Artificial infestations of ECB and inoculations of D.
maydis were used to assess the ability of genetic resistance to
reduce yield losses. Highly significant grain yield reductions were
observed in both synthetics per se and averaged 20% from the C0 to
the C4 in the absence of disease or insects pressure. Ear length
was the main component contributing to grain yield
reductions. Changes toward earlier pollen date were closely
associated with reductions in plant height observed in both
synthetics. The level of resistance achieved in the improved
populations of BSBB was sufficient to prevent grain yield losses
caused by ECB infestations and D. maydis inoculations relative to
a control treatment. Additional genetic studies suggested that the
response of most of the agronomic traits evaluated was
associated with allelic frequency changes resulting from
selection. Inbreeding depression caused by random genetic drift
played a small role in most traits, with the exception of grain
yield in BSBB.

Abstract: Both the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E.
Smith), and the southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella
Dyar, feed extensively on the leaves of corn, Zea mays L., in the
southern USA. Their feeding can cause serious yield reductions.
Several germplasm lines with resistance to leaf feeding by these
two insect pests have been developed and released; however, only
limited information is available on the inheritance of this
resistance. No previous information on the relationships between
resistance to fall armyworm and southwestern corn borer has been
reported. The current investigation was undertaken to obtain
information on the relative importance of general and specific
combining ability in the inheritance of resistance to fall
armyworms and southwestern corn borers and to compare the
responses of the two insects to a diallel cross among inbred lines
with varying degrees of resistance. Larval survival and growth were
used to quantify levels of resistance. General
combining ability was a highly significant source of variation
among hybrids, but specific combining ability was a
nonsignificant source of variation. Fall armyworm larval survival
and weight on hybrids with varying levels of resistance were highly
correlated with southwestern corn borer survival and weight on the
same hybrids. This suggests that selecting for resistance to one of
these insects should increase resistance to both.

Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate the effects of
different cultural conditions on the quality of bermudagrass,
Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., and its effect on the development and
survival of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith).
Fall armyworm larvae were fed four bermudagrass lines, 'Coastal',
'Grazer,' 'Tifton 292,' and OSU 71 x 6-7, grown under field and
greenhouse conditions. Grasses grown in the field were less
favorable for fall armyworm development and survival than the same
lines grown in the greenhouse. Larvae fed bermudagrasses grown in
the greenhouse had significantly higher larval and pupal weights
and decreased duration for larval development. The
quality of field-grown grasses, as indicated by crude protein,
neutral detergent fiber, and in vitro digestible dry matter, was
lower and declined more from June to September than the same
grasses grown in the greenhouse. Larvae fed either greenhouse- or
field-grown 'Grazer' generally developed faster than larvae reared
on the other bermudagrass lines we evaluated. 'Tifton 292' appeared
resistant to fall armyworm when grown under greenhouse but did not
always differ significantly from the susceptible line, 'Grazer,'
when grown under field conditions. Greenhouse screening of
bermudagrass for fall armyworm resistance should be confirmed with
field evaluations.

Abstract: The wheat curl mite (Eriophyes [Aceria] tulipae
Keifer) is the vector of wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), which
incites wheat streak mosaic (WSM), a disease that causes serious
yield losses in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.).
Several sources of resistance to mite colonization have been
identified. Our objective was to determine the relative
effectiveness of four sources of mite resistance in controlling the
spread of WSMV. A series of controlled environmental tests showed
that the incidence of WSMV tended to be lowest in
'Rescue'-Agropyron elongatum (Host) P. Beauv. chromosome
substitution, addition, or translocation lines involving
Chromosome 6 from A. elongatum. Disease incidence was
significantly lower in the wheat-rye (Secale cereale L.)
translocation line KS80H4200 and in the 'Norstar'-Aegilops
squarrosa L. backcross line NST 4/CMC1 than in the mite-
susceptible wheat cultivars Norstar and Rescue. The incidence of
WSM was usually higher in the cultivar TAM 107, which carries a
wheat-rye translocation, than in other mite-resistant entries and
was not always significantly different from the mite-susceptible
winter wheat Norstar, even though TAM 107 reduced the incidence of
symptoms of mite feeding. All entries tested were highly
susceptible to WSMV when mechanically inoculated. In the field,
following a light natural infestation of the wheat curl mite, lines
from the cross NST 4/CMC1 contained 40% fewer WSMV-infected plants
than lines without mite resistance. This study
demonstrated that the mite resistance derived from A. elongatum was
more effective in limiting the spread of WSM than was mite
resistance originating from either rye or Ae. squarrosa.

Abstract: The suitability of oilseed rapes, Brassica spp., and
alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., as host plants for Lygus spp. is
compared. Lygus bugs were monitored in field plots of five
cultivars of oilseed rape, Brassica napus L. and Brassica
campestris L., containing high or low levels of glucosinolates. The
number of lygus collected did not differ among cultivars of the
same species. Nymphs reared in the laboratory on the five cultivars
had the same survival and developmental rate regardless of the
glucosinolate status of the cultivar. Survival,
development, and growth were compared for nymphs reared on
excised stem tips of oilseed rape and alfalfa that had flower buds
or flowers. Nymphs developed faster and had higher survival when
reared on oilseed rape than when reared on alfalfa. However, the
dry weights of adults collected from an alfalfa field were
significantly higher than those reared on alfalfa in the
laboratory, indicating that excised alfalfa may not be as good a
source of food for conducting laboratory tests as excised oilseed
rape. Adult weights of field-collected lygus bugs from alfalfa and
oilseed rape did not differ significantly. The results
demonstrate that oilseed rapes with high or low levels of
glucosinolates are both suitable hosts for the three species of
lygus, and as suitable as alfalfa. Furthermore, the change from the
older high-glucosinolate rape cultivars to the low-
glucosinolate cultivars that are now widely grown probably had no
effect on the suitability of the crop for lygus bugs.

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), larval feeding on one
susceptible and two resistant wheat, Triticum aestivum L. em
Thell., cultivars. The stem number, plant and crown weights, and
soluble crown carbohydrates were measured in susceptible 'Monon'
(with the H3 gene) and resistant 'Abe' (H3 gene) and 'Caldwell' (H6
gene) wheat infested with biotype E Hessian fly larvae. All plant
variables were significantly different between infested and control
'Monon' wheat, and no significant difference in plant variables was
detected in the resistant wheats 4 wk after
infestation. Of the four carbohydrates analyzed, only fructan in
'Monon,' and fructose in 'Abe' differed significantly between the
two treatments. These data support the use of resistant genes in
plants to control the Hessian fly, in that essentially no damage
was observed in the resistant wheat, whereas susceptible 'Monon'
was damaged severely.

Abstract: Indoleacetic acid applied to root pieces of grade
cultivars resistant and susceptible to grape phylloxera,
Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch, induced production of swellings
and rootlet branches. Effects increased with concentration of
indoleacetic acid. Root sensitivity to indoleacetic acid was not
greater in susceptible cultivars and does not appear to be a prime
mechanism of the host plant resistance to grape phylloxera.
Phylloxera did not preferentially establish on swellings induced by
indoleacetic acid, but did on preformed grape phylloxera
tuberosities. Thus, swellings caused by indoleacetic acid are not
identical to grape phylloxera tuberosities.

Abstract: A collection of 524 barley lines from areas of the world
where the Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) and
barley, Hordeum vulgare L., have coexisted was evaluated for
sympatric resistance to this pest. Mass screening tests were
conducted in a growth chamber and greenhouse with seedlings planted
in flats. Additional tests to determine the mechanisms of
resistance were performed with nine of these lines. The lines and
their sources are PI 366444, PI 366447, PI 366449, PI 366450, PI
366453 (Afghanistan); CI 1412, PI 4.30140, PI 430142 (Iran); and PI
447219 (Spain). Various levels of antibiosis and tolerance were
exhibited in most of the lines tested in comparison with
'Wintermalt' (CI 15767), the susceptible control. For example, in
the antibiosis test, an average of 27.3 nymphs per adult were
produced on PI 366449 compared with 50.0 on 'Wintermalt'. In the
tolerance test, plant growth and leaf area of some of the
resistant entries were not affected by the Russian wheat aphid,
whereas growth and leaf area of infested 'Wintermalt' plants was
only 61% of noninfested 'Wintermalt' plants. Plant survivors of
these tests have been saved for developing Russian wheat aphid
plant-resistant germplasm for the North American barley industry.

Abstract: Four soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) germplasm lines
resistant to Mexican bean beetle, Epilachna varivestis Mulsant,
were developed and released. These lines, 'HC83-123-9,'
'HC83-46-1,' HC83-46-2,' and 'HC83-50-1,' are from the cross
'Pixie' x 'PI 229358' and carry resistance (antibiosis) levels
nearly equal to the resistant parent, 'PI 229358.' They were
developed by the pedigree breeding procedure, using a systematic
laboratory bioassay with Mexican bean beetle larvae to identify
resistant plants in each generation. Survival and development of
Mexican bean beetle larvae on these lines were similar to that on
'PI 229358.' Larval mortality for each line was 97.3, 90.7, 90.0,
and 84.0%, respectively, compared with 27.2 and 98.0% for 'Pixie'
(a susceptible control) and 'PI 229358,' respectively. More than
half the larval mortality occurred during the first and second
stadia. These lines also showed resistance to another soybean
defoliator; field screening against defoliation by Japanese beetle,
Popillia japonica Newman, confirmed the high levels of resistance
of these four lines, with defoliation ratings less than or equal to
2 for all four lines compared with the
susceptible cultivar, 'Pixie,' which had a rating of 5 (scale 0-5).
The resistant lines are determinate plant types of mid-to-late
group IV maturity. Because of their earlier maturity
(compared with the PIs) and high level of resistance
(antibiosis), these lines should be a useful source of resistance
for the development of high-yielding soybean cultivars with
resistance to the Mexican bean beetle and other soybean
defoliator.

Abstract: The greenbug [Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)] has been
recognized as a major insect pest of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)
Moench] in the Great Plains of the USA since 1968. Biotype E has
been prominent since 1980 and twelve sources of resistance within
the Sorghum genus have been identified. The objective of this study
was to investigate the inheritance of resistance in sorghum among
seven sources of resistance and three susceptible lines for
antibiosis and tolerance involving Biotype E. A
complete diallel mating, including reciprocals, of the ten
resistant and susceptible lines of sorghum was evaluated in the
growth chamber to estimate heterosis, general combining ability
(GCA), specific combining ability (SCA), maternal and specific
reciprocal effects for seedling antibiosis, and tolerance to
greenbug Biotype E. The majority of crosses between the resistant
sources and susceptible lines showed intermediate reactions and
various degrees of partial dominance for both antibiosis and
tolerance, suggesting polygenic inheritance. Combining ability
analyses revealed that GCA, SCA, maternal, and specific
reciprocal effects were significant for both seedling antibiosis
and tolerance, but GCA was clearly more important in determining
tolerance. The most antibiotic parent, IS2388, had the largest GCA
effect for antibiosis while the most tolerant parent PI 229828, had
the largest GCA effect for tolerance. The significant maternal and
specific reciprocal differences found among parents and crosses,
respectively, suggested that the variation observed in this
experiment was due not only to direct genetic effects, but also to
maternal and/or cytoplasmic inheritance and specific interactions
of cytoplasmic and genetic factors.

Abstract: There are no standardized procedures for evaluation of
host-plant resistance of small grains to Russian wheat aphid (RWA),
(Mordvilko), Diuraphis noxia. Research results, therefore, often
are ambiguous. One possible source of ambiguity is the host
genotype on which aphids are reared prior to being used on test
plants. In this study, two collections of RWA were cultured
separately on TX78V2290-36-1 wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell),
TXGH10989 wheat, 'Nora' oat (Avena sativa L.) and
'Eronga' triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack). After a 30-d period
on the culture plants, the aphids were removed and placed on tester
plants to determine whether the host-plant genotype used for colony
maintenance affected aphid performance on
testers. The tester plants were the same as those used for colony
maintenance. Aphids were placed on testers from source plants in
all possible combinations and aphid response to tester genotypes
was determined by counting the number of embryos produced per
aphid. Results showed that the source genotype had a significant
effect on subsequent performance of aphids. The TX78V2290-36-1
wheat provided the best overall rearing environment of the
genotypes tested. Aphids originally maintained on TX78V2290-36-1
successfully discriminated wheat from oat and oat from triticale,
as well as distinguishing the different levels of resistance of the
two wheat genotypes.

Abstract: Four cycles of recurrent selection were used to reduce
leaf-feeding damage caused by first-generation European corn borer
(ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner, and pith decay associated with
Diplodia, Diplodia maydis (Berkeley) Saccardo, stalk rot (DSR) in
two maize, Zea mays L., synthetics, BSAA and BSBB. Recurrent
selection was based on the evaluation of S(1)
progenies. For this study, 100 unselected S(1) lines from each of
the original (CO) and improved (C4) populations of BSAA and BSBB
were evaluated for ECB resistance, DSR resistance, and stalk rind
puncture. The distributions of S(1) lines for the three traits and
the genetic relationships among traits were evaluated to determine
the effectiveness of the recurrent selection programs. The C4s of
both synthetics were more resistant than the COs to ECB leaf
feeding after artificial infestations, were more
resistant to DSR after artificial inoculations, and possessed
harder stalks. The differences between the CO and C4 means were
highly significant (P less than 0.01) in all instances.
Reductions in genetic variation were observed in BSAA for ECB
ratings and in BSBB for all three traits. The reductions in genetic
variation were especially dramatic for ECB ratings, indicating that
relatively few gene pairs were segregating for leaf-feeding
resistance in BSAA and BSBB. Low and generally nonsignificnant
correlations between DSR ratings and rind
puncture readings indicated that selection for both traits would be
justified to improve field stalk lodging resistance.

Abstract: We make an attempt to identify the agricultural and
ecological factors of greatest importance in assessing the
applicability of different modalities (antibiosis, antixenosis,
tolerance) and levels of insect resistance to the pest management
requirements of different crops and cropping systems. Emphasis is
placed on the importance of matching the type and level of
resistance to the pest's biology (e.g., feeding habits,
development on the crop, alternate host, patterns of invasion of
the crop, number of generations passed in the crop) and the
production requirements of the crop. We illustrate how, depending
on context, the use of a particular modality and level of
resistance may simplify pest management, reduce crop losses without
simplifying pest management, or by changing a pest whose occurrence
in damaging populations is highly predictable to one whose
occurrence is irregular and unpredictable, complicate pest
management. The HELSIM Heliothis zea population dynamics model is
used to illustrate how simulation models can be used to explore the
consequences of deploying particular modalities and levels of
insect resistance. In exploring genetic considerations in the use
of insect-resistant germplasm, we focus on the problem of
maximizing the durability of insect resistance by minimizing
selection for virulent biotypes. We examine whether some
modalities of resistance are inherently more stable than others
regarding selection of virulent biotypes, and argue that in judging
the inherent durability of a particular resistance, exclusive focus
on the genetic nature of the plant resistance is inadequate.
Knowledge of the genetic variability of the target pest vis a vis
the plant resistance and an understanding of the direct biological
effects of the resistance on the insect are also essential. The
selection pressure for virulent insect
biotypes exerted by resistant crop cultivars is shown to be
dependent upon the modality of resistance as well as the

Abstract: Soybean foliage from susceptible ('Bragg') and
resistant (PI 229358 and D75-10169) lines was extracted in
several nonpolar and polar organic solvents to assess
constitutive (mite-free) and induced (mite-damaged) activity
against nonpest and pest noctuid caterpillars. The benzene
fraction, incorporated in artificial diet, contained most of the
constitutive activity of both the resistant and susceptible lines,
as indicated by reduced relative growth rate (RGR) of velvetbean
caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner; corn
earworm, Helicoverpa (= Heliothis) zea (Boddie); tobacco budworm,
H. virescens (F.); and fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E.
Smith) compared with larvae fed the extract- and solvent-free
control diet. Induced activity from mite-damaged greenhouse-grown
plants and A. gemmatalis-damaged field-grown plants was detected
primarily in the petroleum ether fraction. Among the species tested
on the induced fractions (A. gemmatalis, S. frugiperda, and the
cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner)), S. frugiperda was the
most sensitive species, as demonstrated by reduced RGR. Overall,
among the species (H. zea, H. virescens, and T. ni) more tolerant
of the soybean foliage fractions, only H. zea is a major soybean
foliage pest. Surprisingly, among the two most sensitive species,
A. gemmatalis is a legume specialist and major soybean pest,
whereas S. frugiperda is a polyphagous species but not a soybean
pest. These results suggest that presumed soybean-adapted species
may not be more resistant than soybean-naive species to the
deleterious effects of soybean foliage extracts.

Abstract: Economic loss caused by the European corn borer,
Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner), amounts to millions of dollars per
year. Maize breeding programs funded from public and private
sources have developed and released germplasm with resistance to
European corn borer whorl leaf feeding and, to a lesser extent,
sheath and sheath collar feeding during flowering. A 4-yr study of
100 hybrids each year was undertaken to evaluate levels of
resistance to European corn borer available to the farmer in
commercial hybrids. About 90% of the maize hybrids evaluated have
some resistance to whorl leaf feeding and about 75% have some
resistance to sheath and sheath collar feeding. In approximately
two-thirds of the hybrids evaluated in Missouri, the resistance
levels could be further enhanced and susceptible hybrids improved
with the introduction of additional genes for resistance.

Abstract: Biotypes of Hessian flies, Mayetiola destructor (Say),

Texas locations were determined in 1986 and 1987. During 1986 the
Great Plains A and C biotypes were found to be most prevalent in
Hessian fly populations, whereas in 1987 the A, C, and F biotypes
were most common. Results from biotype experiments and infestation
ratings of wheat lines from the Uniform Hessian Fly Nursery in
1986-1988 indicated that while all genes for Hessian fly resistance
provided protection from infestation, the H6, H7H8, and H12 genes
were the least effective for use in Texas.

Abstract: Susceptible 'Newton' and resistant 'Abe' winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.) were infested with larvae of
biotype E Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say). Plants and
crowns of infested 'Newton' weighed less, were shorter, had fewer
tillers, and had significantly less soluble carbohydrates than the
control plants. Only the plant height of infested resistant 'Abe'
was significantly reduced. This finding was unexpected because,
avirulent larvae have never been shown to affect the growth of a
resistant host. In 'Newton,' only the quantity of sucrose differed
between treatments, being significantly greater in the infested
than the control plants, although there was a trend for the control
plants to have more fructan and less
sucrose, glucose, and fructose than the treated plants. No
differences were noted in soluble carbohydrates between infested
and control 'Abe.' Ancymidol, a plant growth retardant, stunted
both wheat cultivars but did not alter resistance in 'Abe.'
Gibberellic acid (GA3) reversed ancymidol-induced growth
inhibition but did not reverse Hessian fly stunting in 'Newton.'
Therefore, stunting of wheat by the Hessian fly and ancymidol
treatments appear to involve different biochemical pathways.

Abstract: Results of a laboratory study show that even low levels
of resistant maize, Zea mays L., silks reduced corn
earworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), growth and extended the life cycle
by about 3 d. An intermediate level of resistance in maize silks
reduced corn earworm growth, extended developmental time by about
8 d per generation, and subsequently reduced egg production by
approximately 30%. A high level of resistance in maize silks
reduced corn earworm growth, extended the life cycle by about 20 d,
and reduced egg production by about 65% per generation. In addition
to these parameters, if corn earworm attacked maize each
generation, the intermediate level of this type of resistance would
eliminate about two generations per year and the high level of
resistance 40-50% of the generations per year. Thus, if hybrid
maize can be developed with intermediate to high levels of
resistance to corn earworm, then populations that usually
devastate alternate crops can be dramatically reduced while
reducing pesticide use by growers.

Abstract: Effects of interactions among temperature (20, 25, and

('Zapalote Chico' and 'Stowell's Evergreen'), and concentrations of
corn silk material-pinto bean diet mixture (0 and 18.75, 37.5 and
67.0 mg) on corn earworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), growth ad
developmental parameters were evaluated. Parameters measured were:
9-d larval weights, developmental time of larvae, weight of pupae,
and days to adult eclosion. Corn earworm growth was
slowest at 20 degrees C and fastest at 30 degrees C. Significant (P
less than 0.05) differences caused by the resistant 'Zapalote
Chico' compared with the susceptible 'Stowell's Evergreen' were
measured consistently at 25 degrees C for all four developmental
parameters. The median temperature (25 degrees C) appears to be
optimun for detecting growth differences between resistant and
susecptible plant materials regardless of silk concentration.

Abstract: Prey feeding on resistant versus susceptible corn
genotypes was investigated for its effect on predation by Orius
insidiosus (Say). Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E.
Smith), that fed on fresh foliage of the resistant corn genotype
'MpSWCB-4' suffered significantly higher rates of predation by
adult O. insidiosus (Say) than did armyworm fed 'Cacahuacintle,' a
susceptible genotype. Similar results were obtained when corn
earworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), were fed a meridic diet
containing silks from 'Zapalote Chico' compared with a diet without
silks. A type II functional response was exhibited by O. insidiosus
preying on fall armyworm but not on corn earworm. Feeding by corn
earworm on meridic diets that contained resistant silks increased
the age of the prey that were susceptible to attack by the
predator.

Abstract: Feeding activities of herbivorous insects are
influenced by host plant nutritional quality. Improved insect
resistance resulting from either natural or artificial selection
may be due, in part, to changes in nutritive constituents of
plants. The first objective of this study was to measure changes in
detergent fiber, lignin, ash, and N concentrations in whorls, leaf-
sheaths, and stalks of the BS9 maize (Zea mays L.)
population across five cycles of selection for resistance to the
European corn borer (ECB) [Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner)]. The second
objective was to evaluate ECB resistance in the WFISIHI and WFISILO
maize populations, which were developed for high and low
concentrations, respectively, of indigestible plant
constituents (acid detergent fiber, lignin, and silica) in the leaf
sheath. Leaf-sheath composition for all five cycles of BS9 was
measured in three environments in Iowa. Whorl, leaf-sheath and
stalk composition, as well as first-and second-generation ECB
resistance of populations WFISIHI, WFISILO and Cycles 0, 2, 4, and
5 of BS9 were evaluated in two environments in Wisconsin. Whorl
composition was not related to changes in ECB resistance in any
population. In BS9, leaf-sheath and stalk concentrations of neutral
and acid detergent fiber, cellulose, and lignin increased linearly
over selection cycles. In contrast, WFISIHI was as susceptible to
second-generation ECB as WFISILO, suggesting that the responses in
BS9 may be due to linkage or unintentional selection. Populations
BS9, WFISIHI, and WFISILO, however, were derived from diverse
sources, and it is likely that mechanisms for resistance differ for
the three populations.

Abstract: Twelve yellow and 12 bronze chrysanthemum,
Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat., cultivars were compared for
resistance to European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner).
Bronze cultivar Grenadine' and yellow cultivars 'Yellow Starlet'
and Goldmine' showed resistance in oviposition preference
studies. Grenadine' and yellow cultivars Freedom' and Nuggets' had
the lowest infestation levels on stem sections. Phaeogenes
nigridens Wesmael (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), an introduced
parasite, was collected from the field infestation and is a new
state record.

Abstract: Discovery that popcorn (Zea mays L.) PI 340856 was
resistant to corn earworm (Heliothis zea (Boddie)) led us to
evaluate 34 additional lines developed by J.C. Eldredge for
resistance to corn earworm, European corn borer (Ostrinia
nubilalis (Hubner)), and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E.
Smith). The 35 lines were evaluated for corn earworm
resistance in the field with artificial infestation at Ames, Iowa,
and Tifton, Ga., and with natural infestation at Hermiston, Oreg.
None of the lines was better than the resistant check, 'Zapalote
Chico' (PI 217413), at any of the three locations. Several lines
had significantly better damage ratings than the susceptible
checks. A bioassay of these materials for corn
earworm resistance was run in the laboratory at Ames and Tifton by
adding dried maize silks to laboratory diets and monitoring insect
growth and development. Six lines were evaluated as
resistant at both locations. In the field at Ames, two of these six
lines were rated resistant to European corn borer. Fall armyworm
field resistance ratings at Tifton indicated that one line was
resistant after 7 d, but it was intermediate after 14 d. The J.C.
Eldredge collection of popcorns provides sources of antibiosis to
corn earworm and European corn borer and is
available for use by plant breeders. Corn earworm resistance may be
enhanced by breeding for husk protection, which may provide an
environment that will capitalize on the antibiotic factors found in
the maize silks.

Abstract: Open-pedigree corn (Zea mays L.) inbred lines with
tropical (38 lines), subtropical (55 lines), and temperature (27
lines) origins were evaluated for resistance to second-generation
European corn borer. Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner. Five plants in each
plot were infested during anthesis with 10 applications of 50
larvae or 500 per plant. Relative ratings for resistance were taken
50-60 d after anthesis based on a nine-point rating scale (1, no
sheath collar feeding damage to 9, severe damage).
Differences among mean resistant ratings of the 120 lines were
significant; higher resistance was associated with lines having
tropical and subtropical germplasm. Twenty-two lines had
resistance ratings less than 3.5, and most included either
tropical or subtropical germplasm. Resistant ratings were
correlated significantly with days to anthesis and silking and
plant and ear height. Transfer of the resistant genes from the
tropical germplasm to temperate germplasm should be done with
caution because of their sensitivity to photoperiodism.

Abstract: ELS 6404-160, CI 17647, a durum wheat (Triticum durum
Desf.) introduction from Ethiopia, was found resistant to several
biotypes of Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)]. Additional
genes for resistance are needed for breeding wheat for resistance
to the Hessian fly. Research was conducted on a random plant
(designated as Selection 5) of ELS 6404-160. Our objectives were to
determine (i) the number of genes in ELS 6404-160-5
controlling resistance to biotypes B and D, (ii) if the gene(s) are
different from known genes effective against biotypes B, D, and L,
(iii) the pattern of resistance of ELS 6404-160-5 to biotypes
B,C,D, and L, and (iv) the effectiveness of the
resistance at three temperature regimes. Test cross progeny and F3
line analyses, conducted in greenhouses or growth chambers,
indicated that ELS 6404-160-5 has two genes for resistance which
are different from other genes known to provide resistance to
biotypes D and L. Segregation of test cross progeny rows in a three
segregating to one susceptible ratio following the test cross of
ELS 6404-160-5 with susceptible D6647 indicated that resistance was
governed by two genes. The occurrence of
susceptible test cross progenies in test crosses following
crosses of ELS 6404-160-5 with genotypes with known genes for
resistance to biotype D indicated that the genes in ELS
6404-160-5 were different than those previously described. ELS
6404-160-5 is resistant to biotypes B, C, D, and L and resistance
is quite stable to biotype D at three temperatures. The genes from
ELS 6404-160-5 are designated H14 and H15. Gene H15 is closely
associated with H9 on chromosome 5A; H14 may be linked to or
independent of H10, which is on chromosome 5A.

Abstract: Corn genotypes that naturally differ only in their
endosperm constitution because of mutation were used to examine the
feeding and oviposition activities of the maize weevil (MW),
Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky. The genotypes were A632
(resistant to MV) and W64A (susceptible) and their associated
mutants. Differences in the amounts of shallow and deep feeding by
MW were found to be consistent within a corn genotypic group with
genetically identical pericarp tissue, despite quite
different endosperm types. Oviposition was more highly correlated
with the number of deep feeding sites in the A632 group and with
the number of shallow sites in the W64A group. Feeding activity
appeared to be higher in the W64A group having thefloury-2 and
opaque-2 mutants, which have higher than normal lysine and
tryptophan in the endosperm. The waxy and amylose extender
mutants, which are thought tocontain greater than normal amounts of
feeding stimulants and deterrents, did not affect feeding activity
and oviposition. Endosperm characteristics may have influenced the
texture of the pericarp in some cases.

Abstract: Field screening of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr.,
germplasm for resistance to insect defoliation was undertaken
because of the narrow genetic base currently available to plant
breeders and the lack of a comprehensive screening for resistance
in most maturity groups (MGs). This study was conducted to
evaluate plant introductions (PIs) in MGs III, IV, and V for
resistance to defoliation by Mexican bean beetle (MBB), Epilachna
varivestis Mulsant. All available PIs were screened to 475822C,
476914, and 424553 in MGs III, IV, and V, respectively, at the
Randolph Research Farm of Virginia State University, Petersburg,
VA. Resistance was determined by visually estimating the percent
defoliation by MBB. Soybean accessions were initially screened in
2-m rows. Selections from these screenings were twice retested in
triplicate. Maturity Group V contained most of the resistant
germplasm, including PIs 423901-1, 417235 ('Ouu 3'), and 200450
('Akita Ahi'). However, two breeding lines (L76-0132 and
L76-0049), derived from the highly resistant PI 171451 in MG VII,
had the least defoliation in MG V. Three moderately resistant PIs
(360847 ['Shiromeyntaka'], 248511 ['Hakuho No. 1'], and 407820)
were found in MG IV. PI 417152 ('Mikuri 42') (MG III) also showed
some resistance. Higher levels of insect resistance appear to be
present in later maturity group soybean germplasm.

Zalla, NKK, P8 and M2D2 against head smut, and Ex-Darou against
ergot Cultivation of IBV-8001 has been suggested in northern and
central Senegal. However, studies on identification and utilization
of resistance sources of wide genetic diversity and multilocational
tests may be necessary.

Abstract: Various techniques to increase infestation and improve
efficiency of screening sorghum for sorghum midge, Contarinia
sorghicola (Coquillett), resistance were tested at ICRISAT
Center. Adjustment of planting dates to synchronize flowering with
period of peak abundance of adult midges, planting infester rows of
susceptible cultivars ('CSH 1' and 'CSH 5') 20 d before test
cultivars, spreading midge-damaged sorghum panicles
containing diapausing midge larvae in infester rows, and using
sprinkler irrigation during flowering in the postrainy season
helped to increase midge abundance. Careful and selective use of
contact insecticides to control head bug, Calocoris angustatus
Lethiery, and midge parasite Tetrastichus diplosidis Crawther was
useful in screening and selecting sorghum cultivars for midge
resistance. Planting two sets of test material at fortnightly
intervals helped to reduce chances that sorghum would escape midge
damage. Maintaining thin plant stands also increased midge damage
by preventing population dilution due to fewer numbers of panicles
per unit area.

Abstract: Larvae of the soybean looper (SBL), Pseudoplusia
includens (Walker), and the velvetbean caterpillar (VBC),
Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner, were restricted to a diet of
foliage from either insect-resistant (PI 229358 or GatIR 81-296) or
susceptible ('GaSoy 17') soybean genotypes. Decreased growth rate
and increased development times were observed for early and late
instar SBL developing on the resistant genotypes. Foliage
consumption and weight gain measured during the period from the
fifth through the ultimate stadium were also significantly
reduced. Mortality of SBL larvae was greatest on GatIR 81-296.
Although early growth and development of VBC during early stadia
were slowed by the resistant genotypes, consumption, weight gain,
and growth rates from the fifth through the ultimate stadium on the
resistant genotypes were equal to or greater than those on the
susceptible genotype. Larval weights of both SBL and VBC taken
after five and eight days of development gave an accurate and time-
efficient measurement of resistance. Pupal weights were
significantly lower when SBL were reared on resistant genotypes;
however, VBC pupal weights were similar on all three genotypes. An
increased incidence of supernumerary stadia was noted in larvae of
both species restricted to resistant genotypes.

Abstract: PI 94587 durum wheat, Triticum durum Desf., has
resistance to biotype L of Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say)
that has not been genetically characterized. Two genes, H6 and H11
from PI 94587, have been transferred into separate lines and
characterized previously. Lines with H6 or H11 do not have
resistance to biotype L that PI 94587 has. Our objectives were to
transfer the gene(s) responsible for resistance to biotype L from
PI 94587 to a susceptible line, and to determine if the gene(s) was
different from known genes providing resistance to biotype L. We
used standard greenhouse and growth chamber methods of
analysis to determine resistance of seedling progenies to
biotypes D and L of Hessian fly. A single partially dominant gene
pair providing resistance to biotype L was transferred from PI94
587 to a previously susceptible durum wheat line ND D6647.
Genetic studies indicated the new gene was not H9, H14, or H15.
Reactions to biotypes, B, C, D, and L indicated it was not H10, or
the 'Marquillo' gene. The newly isolated gene is designated H16.

Abstract: Corn leaf aphids [Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch)] can be
a serious pest of maize, Zea mays L. Because very, little is known
about the genetics of corn leaf aphid resistance in maize, a
generation mean analysis was conducted on nine generations of maize
[P1, B96 (susceptible); P2, Mo17 (resistant); F1; F2; F3; BC1; BC2;
BS1; and BS2] to determine the type of gene action involved. The
model that included additive and dominant effects explained 64.8%
of the total variation among generations, whereas the model that
included additive, dominant, and epistatic effects did not
significantly improve the fit. The estimate of the
additive genetic effects was most important, indicating that
several loci contributed resistance to the corn leaf aphid.
Dominant genetic effects were significant, but not as important as
additive effects. Residuals remaining after fitting for
additive and dominance effects were significant, indicating that
more complicated genetic mechanisms may be involved.

possessing diverse genes for resistance to the green leafhopper
Nephotettix virescens (Distant), and planthoppers Sogatella
furcifera (Horvath) and Nilaparvata lugens (Stal). Distinct
differences in levels of thrips resistance were observed in bulk
seedling tests. Resistant varieties were less preferred for
oviposition. Duration of adult survival and population increases
was significantly less on resistant varieties than on susceptible
ones. The steam distillate extract of a resistant variety 'Ptb 21'
was highly toxic to first instar S. biformis.

maize, Zea mays L., inbreds were used to determine the genetic
control of resistance to damage by second-generation European corn
borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner. The nine parents and their 36
crosses each received 10 applications of 50 larvae (500 larvae per
plant). Six replications of five plants per plot were
infested at anthesis. Visual ratings were taken of sheath and
collar tissue 50 to 60 d after infestation based on a nine-point
rating scale (1, no damage to 9, severe damage). Significant
differences for resistance were observed among the nine parents and
the 36 crosses. Ratings of individual crosses varied
significantly and averaged 3.7 with range of 1.8 (Tzi4 x
Narino330) to 5.3 (B73 x Oh43). Heterotic effects for resistance of
the 36 crosses averaged -19.5%, which was equivalent to a
difference of 1.78 on the rating scale. General (GCA) and
specific combining ability (SCA) mean squares were significant with
GCA accounting for 82 and SCA for 18% of the total variation among
crosses. Among the nine parents, four (Tzi4, Narino330, Hi34,
Ant.C5) showed greater GCA effects for resistance.

Abstract: Boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) resistance was
identified in several photoperiodic primitive accessions of cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the early 1970s. Two of these primitive
accessions. T-326, and T-1180, were each crossed to 'Deltapine 16'
and progeny with day-neutral (DN) flowering habit were selected.
These progeny were then backcrossed twice to their respective
primitive parent and selected for day neutrality after each
backcross. The resulting progenies were evaluated for boll weevil
oviposition using a new laboratory technique.
Significantly less oviposition was found on BC2F4 progeny of
T-326(DN) and T-1180(DN) than on the control 'Stoneville 213'.
These progeny expressed resistance as 57 and 54% as much
oviposition, respectively, as on Stoneville 213 in the laboratory
test; resistance also was noted by others in field tests. The level
of boll weevil resistance found in the progenies of
T-326(DN) and T-1180(DN), when combined with acceptable agronomic
performance, should be of value in pest management.

Abstract: A larval antibiosis screening technique was applied to
three soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] populations to determine the
inheritance of resistance to Mexican bean beetle [Epilachna
varivestis (Mulsant)]. The F1, F2, and F3 generations (five F3
plants per F2 plant) of crosses between 'Williams' (susceptible)
and L76-0049, L78-608, and L76-0328 (resistant) were screened along
with the parents. Mean weight of surviving larvae after 10 d of
feeding on detached leaves was used as the measure of
antibiosis. The resistance of F1 plants was intermediate to that of
their parents. Data from the F1 of Williams X L76-0049 and Williams
X L76-0328 indicated a small degree of dominance for resistance.
The distributions of F2 and F3 phenotypes were
continuous and unimodal. Skewness toward susceptibility occurred in
Williams X L76-0328, but symmetry was evident in the other crosses.
Heritability estimates (single F2 plant basis) ranged from 0.33 to
0.48 when calculated from F3 data, and from 0.11 to 0.22 when
calculated from the covariance of F2 plants and their F3 progeny.
Estimates of heritability derived from F2 and
parental data were larger but had large standard errors. Gene
number estimates by the method of moments, and frequency of
recovery of parental phenotypes suggested that the number of
segregating resistance loci was small. Provided selection was no
more intense than 2.5%, expected genetic gain from selection among
individual F2 plants was greater if a large number of plants were
screened with a single determination per plant than if one-half or
one-third that number were screened with two or three
determinations per plant, respectively.

Abstract: During summer 1988, a heavy infestation of thrips,
Anaphothrips obscurus (Mueller), Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), and
F. tenuicornis (Uzel) occurred on maize, Zea mays L., allowing for
evaluation of resistance in 10 inbred maize lines. Thrips
populations peaked at the end of June, and evaluations of the
damage were taken at this time. Inbred 41:2504B had the smallest
thrips Population, B37 had the largest population, and Mol7, C103,
and B73 were intermediate. A 10-inbred-line diallel cross, based on
damage caused by leaf-feeding, showed that variations due to
general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability
(SCA) were highly significant. Variation due to GCA, however, was
14 times greater than that for SCA, indicating that additive
genetic effects were more important than nonadditive effects. The
inbred 41:2504B was the most resistant and best general combiner,
whereas C103 was the most susceptible to thrips damage.

Abstract: The durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) PI 422297 was
selected for genetic studies because of its resistance to
Biotypes B, C, D, and L of the Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor
(Say). The objectives of this study were to determine the number of
genes controlling the resistance of PI 422297 to Biotype D, and to
establish the allelic relationships or independence of these genes
to currently known genes that confer resistance against this
biotype. This experiment was conducted in a
controlled environment chamber maintained at 19 +/- 2 degrees C. In
testcross analyses, random selfed BC progeny rows between the
susceptible parent D6647 and PI 422297 indicated that two genes
controlled the expression of this resistance; these two genes are
independent of H5, H9, H10, H14, H15, and H17. No fully
susceptible progeny rows were observed in the crosses involving H11
and H16 together, or H16 singly, with the two genes in PI 422297.
However, the level of resistance of the PI 422297 genes at 26
degrees C indicates that a linkage or allelic relationship is
involved between one gene in PI 422297 and H16. Therefore, one of
the two genes in PI 422297 is different from all previously known
genes for resistance to Biotype D. We designate this gene as H19.
The other gene is associated with H16. Additional
research is planned to determine whether the second gene of PI
422297 that confers resistance to biotype D of Hessian fly is
allelic or linked to H16.

Abstract: The glossy cauliflower PI234599 has been shown by other
authors to have resistance to three species of Lepidoptera, but the
relationship between insect resistance and the glossiness of the
leaf surface has been unclear. To examine this
relationship in a broader range of Brassica oleracea L., five
species of insect pests were counted under natural infestation
eight glossy genetic lines of broccoli, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, collards, and kale; six lines reported to have reduced
leaf wax; and ten varieties of the same crops with normal leaf wax.
Glossy lines consistently had fewer imported cabbageworm, Artogeia
rapae (L.), larvae and eggs and fewer cabbage aphids, Brevicoryne
brassicae (L.), than other lines. Four of the glossy lines had low
numbers of diamondback moth larvae, Plutella
xylostella (L.), in all three plantings, but the other four
performed differently in separate plantings. Surprisingly, a glossy
kale with allelic genes for glossiness to PI234599 had poor
resistance to diamondback moth. Glossy lines had the most
Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) in one spring planting, but there
were no significant differences in the numbers of this species of
flea beetle on various lines in the fall planting at the same
location. This study identifies additional promising sources of
insect resistance among glossy lines of B. oleracea, but further
study is needed of the variability in resistance to diamondback
moths and flea beetles over repeated plantings and among
different glossy lines.

to identify resistant genotypes. Using converted exotic sorghum
cultivars, this study was conducted to compare visual damage scores
across locations and years vs. indirect resistance measurements
(percentage yield loss and number of midge per panicle) in a single
location and year with two
planting dates. Visual damage ratings were made at physiological
maturity on the percentage of blasted kernels per panicle in
replicated, randomized-complete-block field experiments at three
locations in 1983 through 1985. In 1985, indirect measurements and
visual damage ratings were made at one location. A
significant positive relationship was found between visual midge
damage rating and percentage yield loss (r = 0.347), and between
visual midge damage rating and midge number (r = 0.220).
Percentage yield loss did not increase the reliability of
identification of resistant cultivars. Cultivars identified with
resistance by both methods were IS8232C, IS8237C, IS8112C,
IS2740C, IS3390C, IS7132C, IS2685C, IS957C, IS7193C, IS2144C, and
IS12572C. The correlation between percentage yield loss and midge
number (r = 0.090) was nonsignificant. Both methods depend on high
midge density to differentiate resistant and susceptible genotypes.
When midge were not abundant good differentiation was not obtained.
Indirect resistance measurements were more time consuming than a
single visual rating at maturity, and when multiple years or
locations were required, the visual damage rating was a more
effective method of germplasm evaluation.

Abstract: Effect of Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say),
damage on the forage production of susceptible and resistant
cultivars of soft red winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L., was
investigated in three experiments. Hessian fly damage reduced total
dry matter yield of forage by 14 to 46%. Damage in all experiments
was greatest during the first cutting when plants were in the
seedling stage. Total forage yield declined linearly with
increasing percentage of infested tillers when January infestations
exceeded about 10% infested tiller. Low to moderate levels of
Hessian fly damage reduced forage yield primarily by a reduction in
tiller size and weight rather than tiller density. Severe
infestations reduced tiller size and density. Hessian fly damage
did not greatly affect crude protein or acid detergent fiber
content of forage. Our study documents the potential risk of severe
Hessian fly damage to wheat forage production. The economic benefit
of using host plant resistance to control the Hessian fly in winter
wheat grown for forage averaged $105/ha in these studies.

Abstract: The chromosome constitutions of eight wheat streak
mosaic virus (WSMV)-resistant lines, three of which are also
greenbug resistant, derived from wheat/Agropyron
intermedium/Aegilops speltoides crosses were analyzed by C-
banding and in situ hybridization. All lines could be traced back
to CI15092 in which chromosome 4A is substituted for by an Ag.
intermedium chromosome designated 4Ai-2, and the derived lines
carry either 4Ai-2 or a part of it. Two (CI17881, CI17886) were
4Ai-2 addition lines. C117882 and CI17885 were 4Ai-2(4D)
substitution lines. CI17883 was a translocation substitution line
with a pair of 6AL.4Ai-2S and a pair of 6AS.4Ai-2L chromosomes
substituting for chromosome pairs 4D and 6A of wheat. CI17884
carried a 4DL.4Ai-2S translocation which substituted for
chromosome 4D. CI17766 carried a 4AL.4Ai-2S translocation
substituting for chromosome 4A. The results show that the 4Ai-2
chromosome is related to homoeologous group 4 and that the
resistance gene(s) against WSMV is located on the short arm of
4Ai-2. In addition, CI17882, CI17884, and CI17885 contained Ae.
speltoides chromosome 7S substituting for chromosome 7A of wheat.
The greenbug resistance gene Gb5 was located on chromosome 7S.

Abstract: Field and greenhouse studies were done to identify
ovipositional antixenosis (the plant property responsible for
resistance) in common beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L., to the
leafhopper Empoasca kraemeri Ross and Moore. The 1985 field study
showed considerable variation among 49 resistant bean lines for
nymphal counts, damage scores, and yield under leafhopper attack.
Bean lines EMP 124,' EMP 125,' and EMP 135' had significantly fewer
nymphs per leaf over the growing season than ICA Pijao,' the
tolerant check variety. These results were confirmed in 1986 when
nymphal emergence and adult leafhopper counts on EMP 124' and EMP
135' were compared with EMP 81,' another tolerant check. Other bean
lines with low nymphal emergence, low damage scores, and high
nonprotected yield also were identified. The effect of plant age on
antixenosis resistance also was studied under field conditions, and
EMP 124' showed high levels of resistance to leafhopper oviposition
as seedlings and plants. Compared with the tolerant check, EMP 89'
and EMP 135,' however, appeared to be less preferred for
oviposition as plants than as seedlings. Greenhouse free choice and
no choice studies were conducted on bean seedlings and plants. EMP
124' and EMP 125' showed high levels of antixenosis resistance
compared with ICA Pijao,' and EMP 94' and EMP 135' were
intermediate in their response. Crosses between tolerant and
antixenosis bean lines are recommended as a potential means of
increasing overall leafhopper resistance levels.

Abstract: Development and survival of two fall armyworm (FAW),
Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), host strains were evaluated on
four varieties of Bermuda grass, Cynodon dactylon (L.)
('Costal', 'Grazer', OSU 71 X 6-7, and 'Tifton 292'). Two FAW
laboratory colonies used in experiments were analyzed
electrophoretically and determined to comprise the corn strain (GA
colony) and the rice/Bermuda grass strain (LA colony).
Comparisons between strain indicated significant developmental
differences on 'Tifton 292' and, to a lesser degree, on 'Costal'.
On the former, larvae from the LA colony were 3 times heavier on
day 8 and developed about 3 d faster than larvae from the GA
colony. Differences in survivorship were not significant.
Development on the four varieties also differed within strains. The
LA colony exhibited the best developmental performance on 'Tifton
292', whereas that variety was worst for development of the GA
colony. Thus, a variety considered resistant when tested with the
corn strain conferred no resistance to the rice strain. In nature,
the rice strain predominantly feeds on Bermuda grass. The host
strain of laboratory colonies used to assess host plant resistance
to FAW cannot be ignored.

Abstract: Alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., cultivars expressing
antibiosis or antixenosis resistance to the spotted alfalfa aphid
(SAA), Therioaphis maculata (Buckton), impose selection pressure
for more-virulent insect biotypes. Tolerant plants could be useful
in reducing pressure for rapid development of new
biotypes. Our studies were conducted to quantify tolerance to the
SAA by assessing damage to plants that supported infestations with
less damage than was typically observed in susceptible plants and
to study the inheritance of tolerance. Vegetative propagation was
used to provide replicates of tolerant plants for use in estimating
the extent of genetic variability in the
Oklahoma common cultivar OK08. Heritability of tolerance was
estimated by parent-offspring regression of selfed and polycross
progeny. Numbers of SAA were similar on tolerant and susceptible
plants after 10 d of infestation and by Day 19, tolerant plants had
much higher numbers. A tolerance index that considers stunted
growth and percentage of leaves that exhibit no chlorosis was
developed based on correlation of these variables with dry-matter
production. After a 19-d infestation period, variation in
expression of tolerance by 39 candidate plants was high and 35% of
the variability was estimated to be genetic. Heritability of the
tolerance characteristics was estimated at 25% in selfed progeny of
these plants and 20% in polycross progeny. Reduction in
heritability of tolerance in these progeny suggests that dominant
effects may control expression of this trait in alfalfa.

spacings and three fertilizer levels. A spacing of 75 X 30 cm
attracted more of all the three species of bollworms and boll rot
compared to 90 X 30 cm spacing. Similarly, an increase in
nitrogen levels led to increased infestation of bollworms and
consequently increased levels of boll rot. Bollworm-boll rot
complex was more in 80-40-40 and 120-40-40 NPK/ha compared to
40-40-40 NPK/ha.

Abstract: Studies were done to determine the inheritance of
resistance in two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines, PI 137739 and
PI 262660, that were previously identified as resistant to Russian
wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), and to
establish whether resistance was governed by the same or
different genes. The resistant lines were crossed with the
cultivars Tugela' and Betta.' Resistance reactions of backcross,
F2, and F3 seedlings in greenhouse tests indicated that
resistance in each line is controlled by a single dominant gene and
that these genes are independently inherited. The gene
symbols Dn 1 and Dn 2 are recommended for the resistance genes in
PI 137739 and PI 262660, respectively.

Abstract: The ability to move bacterial genes encoding 'natural'
insecticidal proteins into plants is permitting the development of
crops intrinsically resistant to insect attack, with
advantages over conventional insect-control agents (i.e.
externally applied synthetic chemicals). These advantages include
absence of residues in soil or groundwater, lack of toxicity to
non-target organisms, and protection of plant parts which are
difficult or impossible to spray (e.g. roots). Continued
elucidation of the mechanisms by which such agents act, coupled
with genetic engineering techniques, should lead to an increasing
variety of insect-resistant crops in the coming years.
Agriculture will thus gain inexpensive, effective and
environmentally safe alternatives to current insect-control
methods.

Abstract: Permethrin, fenvalerate, acephate, methyl parathion, and
methomyl were tested on larvae of the velvetbean caterpillar,
Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hubner), and the soybean looper,
Pseudoplasia includens (Walker), fed on a susceptible ('Bragg') or
a resistant (PI 227687) soybean cultivar. At LD50,
susceptibility of A. gemmatalis larvae to fenvalerate and
acephate was significantly enhanced by feeding on the resistant
cultivar (1.5 and 1.6 times, respectively). P. includens reared on
resistant leaves were also significantly more susceptible to
acephate (2 times) than when they were reared on susceptible
leaves. The toxicity of the other insecticides examined for each
insect was not affected. Incorporation of coumestrol, an
isoflavonoid associated with PI 227687 resistance, into a
modified artificial diet resulted in significant reductions in
weight gain for P. includens larvae. Feeding on a diet amended with
coumestrol significantly enhanced the toxicity of
fenvalerate (1.5 times) while reducing toxicity of methomyl (2
times) to larvae of P. includens.

Abstract: Inbred lines of corn, Zea mays L., were evaluated for
resistance to leaf feeding by the fall armyworm, Spodoptera
frugiperda (J. E. Smith), and southwestern corn borer, Diatraea
grandiosella Dyar, in field and laboratory experiments. For the
laboratory bioassays, diets were prepared from lyophilized whorl
tissue of field grown plants of resistant and susceptible corn
inbred lines. To prepare the diets, 11 g lyophilized tissue was
stirred into a mixture of 250 ml distilled water, 2 g agar, 12.5 mg
gentamicin sulfate, 132 mg sorbic, and 528 mg ascorbic acid that
had been heated to 82 degrees C and poured into 30-ml
plastic cups. Cups were infested with two neonate larvae each. Fall
armyworm larvae reared for 10 d on diets containing tissue of
resistant inbred lines weighed 60% less than those reared on diets
containing susceptible inbred tissue. Southwestern corn borer
larvae reared for 14 d on whorl tissue from resistant inbred lines
weighed 50% less than those reared on susceptible tissue. The
laboratory bioassay satisfactorily differentiated among resistant
and susceptible corn inbreds.

Abstract: A study was conducted to identify mechanisms of
resistance in sunflower to the sunflower midge, Contarinia
schulzi Gagne. Infestation ratings, larval counts, and damage
ratings were used to quantify midge resistance in seven sunflower
hybrids grown at three locations. Six of the seven hybrids
possessed midge resistance. Each hybrid was further categorized
with respect to infestation resistance, antibiosis, and
tolerance. Two bud characteristics, percent open and size, were
examined for their contribution to infestation resistance. The
percentage of time that buds of each hybrid were open was
negatively correlated with infestation (indicating a preference for
the open characteristic). Infestations were higher in buds greater
than or equal to 2.5 cm in diameter. In artificial
infestation trials, damage caused by first and second instars was
very low due to high larval mortality. When sunflower buds were
artificially infested with midge adults, moderate larval
infestations occurred. Artificially infesting plants with adults
confirmed the presence of antibiosis in two resistant and one
susceptible hybrid.

Abstract: Evaluation of mechanisms of resistance among 12 grain
sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, sources of resistance to the
biotype E greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), indicated that
the most important mechanism within this germplasm seemed to be
antibiosis (with a few exceptions). The source with the
highest level of overall resistance was P1266965, which had also
the highest level of antibiosis. The highest level of tolerance was
found in P1229828, and the highest level of antixenosis was found
in 'J242.' All mechanisms of resistance in the various plant stages
were independent, and only antibiosis in the
seedling stages was highly related to average damage score from the
usual flat screening technique. Principal component analysis was
used to develop an index to maximize variation among
accessions, describe each germplasm's overall resistance, and
compare the known sources of resistance with any susceptible
sources or any new sources of resistance in relation to host plant
interactions.

Abstract: A 3-yr study done to evaluate sugarcane, Saccharum
officinarum L., cultivars for resistance to sugarcane borer,
Diatraea saccharalis (F.), indicated the need to examine the effect
of cultivars on areawide pest populations in addition to the
resistance to plant injury from pest attack. Evaluation of the
percentage of bored internodes has traditionally served as the
primary criterion to quantify sugarcane resistance to
sugarcane borers. However, this index measures the cultivar
resistance only until penetration by young larvae into the stalk.
Using the emergence holes of the sugarcane borer as the seasonal
record of adult emergence, a relative survival index was
developed to estimate the proportion of larvae inside the stalk
that survived to adulthood. A low correlation (r = 0.253) was found
between the percentage of bored internodes and the relative
survival of the older larvae. Resistance ratings based on the
percentage of bored internodes were found to be inadequate
estimators of moth production because differences in borer
survival after entry into the stalk influence the resultant adult
moth emergence. Moth production on a cultivar serves as a measure
of areawide suppression or enhancement of borer populations. Data
from this study indicated that evaluations of varietal resistance
to the sugarcane borer should be based on resistance to damage and
the potential effect on areawide populations.

Abstract: A cage technique to screen sorghum cultivars for
resistance to sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett),
under no-choice conditions was developed and standardized. Forty
adult midges collected during morning hours (0800-1100 hours) from
flowering sorghum panicles and introduced into the cage at the top-
to half-anthesis stage for 2 consecutive d resulted in maximum
midge damage in the susceptible cultivar 'CSH 1'.
Wireframed cage covered with a blue bag caused the most damage in
'CSH 1'. This technique is useful for verification of midge
resistance observed under field conditions. Resistance of 21
sorghum cultivars to sorghum midge was compared under no-choice
cage and natural conditions for four seasons. Of 15 cultivars
reported to be resistant to sorghum midge under natural
conditions, only three ('DJ 6514', 'TAM 2566', and 'IS 12666C')
showed repeatable levels of resistance under no-choice conditions
during the four seasons. 'TAM 2566' and 'IS 12666C' were less
attractive to the midges (less than 4 midges per five panicles)
than the midge-susceptible hybrid sorghum 'CSH 1' (19 midges per
five panicles) under field conditions. Fourteen cultivars that were
either less attractive to adult midges or had less than or equal to
12% florets with midge larvae under natural conditions showed a
susceptible reaction under no-choice testing in the cage. Cultivar
reactions to midge were stable under the cage over four seasons
(except 'IS 2328'). Using first two principal
component cluster analysis, 'TAM 2566' and 'DJ 6514' were grouped
together as the most resistant cultivars. Sources of resistance to
midge thus placed in different groups can be used to increase
levels of midge resistance by hybridization among cultivars
belonging to different groups.

Abstract: Field and greenhouse tests of selected small grain
cultivars disclosed large differences in their resistance to
Phyllophaga congrua (LeConte) white grubs. Resistance was
evidenced first in a field plot test of four cultivars each of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), oats (Avena sativa L.), and barley
(Hordeum vulgare L.) (Poaceae). P. congrua white grubs that were
present at planting caused high rates of seedling mortality and
reduced the yields of some varieties. The most resistant
cultivars of each species ('Nora' oats, 'Adder' wheat, and
'Tambar 401' barley [1, 10, and 43% seedling mortality,
respectively]) and the least resistant ones ('Florida 501' oats,
'Wysor' barley, and 'Collin' wheat [10, 65, and 68% seedling
mortality, respectively]) were tested further in the greenhouse.
When the six cultivars were planted intermingled in the
greenhouse, 22.8 times as many 'Collin' seedlings and 19.4 times as
many 'Tambar 401' seedlings were destroyed by P. congrua third
instars as were seedlings of 'Florida 501'. Two no-choice feeding
experiments (each greenhouse plot contained only one cultivar)
confirmed the trends for resistance shown in the choice
experiments. Overall rates of grub-induced seedling mortality in
the three greenhouse experiments were 8.5% ('Florida 501'), 10.9%
('Nora'), 25.8% ('Adder'), 35.7% ('Wysor'), 41.4% ('Collin'), and
42.3% ('Tambar 401'). The resistance apparently is due to the
nonpreference.

Abstract: Oviposition preference by the sugarcane borer,
Diatraea saccharalis (F.), on several hosts was compared. The
sugarcane borer laid significantly more eggs (78%) on four
sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) clones than on corn (Zea mays L.),
sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), rice (Oryza sativa L.), or
wax paper (22%). More eggs were laid on the leaf surfaces of
glabrous sugarcane clones than on a pubescent clone. Although fewer
eggs were laid on the leaf surfaces of pubescent clones,
oviposition on the midribs (devoid of trichomes) was increased
compared with oviposition on the midrib of glabrous clones; this
result indicated also that moths avoided pubescent surfaces for
oviposition. Overall, the glabrous clones received >2.5 times the
number of eggs than the pubescent clone. A commercial sugarcane
clone with pubescence might therefore be more resistant to the
sugarcane borer than the glabrous clones that are currently grown.

Abstract: Soybean looper (SBL), Pseudoplusia includens (Walker),
oviposition preference among soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)
genotypes 'Kirby', 'GaSoy 17', GatIR 81-296, and PI 229358 was
examined in two field tests with caged plants. In both cage tests,
the number of SBL eggs deposited on 81-296 plants was significantly
greater than or equal to egg deposition on plants of other
genotypes. Oviposition was consistently lower on 'Kirby' compared
with the other genotypes. Relative oviposition
preference for 'GaSoy 17' and PI 229358 varied between the two
tests. SBL larvae were also reared on foliage of each genotype to
determine relative larval resistance. PI 229358 and 81-296 were
significantly more resistant to SBL larvae (reduced larval and
pupal weights, increased development times) compared with 'GaSoy
17', while 'Kirby' was the most susceptible of the four
genotypes. The relative preference of SBL moths for oviposition on
the resistant genotype 81-296 compared with the susceptible
genotype 'Kirby' indicates that larval resistance and adult
oviposition preference in soybean are not necessarily positively
correlated.

Abstract: Field cage experiments were done to determine if maize
(Zea mays L.) hybrids with leaf-feeding resistance to larvae of
southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar, and fall
armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), also are less
preferred for oviposition under choice conditions. Two resistant
maize hybrids (Mp496 X Mp701 and Mp704 X Mp706) and two
susceptible hybrids (SC229 X Tx601 and Ab24E X Va35) were tested.
Southwestern corn borers laid significantly fewer eggs on the
resistant than on the susceptible hybrids. Fall armyworms laid
significantly fewer eggs on the resistant hybrids than on SC229 X
Tx601 but not on Ab24E X Va35. Thus, females of both species
exhibited preference in selection of hosts for oviposition with the
resistant hybrids being less preferred.

Abstract: The very early maturing pecan cultivar Johnson was
damaged significantly less than were later maturing cultivars by
Curculio caryae (Horn) in studies made in 1978 and 1979. In a
different test in 1976, the cultivar 48-15-3 was the only one of 39
cultivars tested that escaped damage. Both of these cultivars
mature extremely early; thus, although the possibility of
discovering immunity to the pecan weevil is negligible,
resistance through host evasion by asynchrony is possible.

Abstract: Inbred line DE811 was crossed with 12 dent maize, Zea
mays L., inbred lines. The 12 inbred lines, plus DE811 and a check
inbred line, and 12 single crosses, plus two single-cross checks,
were planted in a modified randomized block design for 3 yr, with
five replications each year. First-generation European corn borer,
Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner, plots were separate from the second-
generation European corn borer plots (two hills of three plants for
each plot in each experiment). Plants in the first-generation tests
were infested during the midwhorl stage of plant development,
whereas plants in the second-generation tests were infested during
anthesis. Plants in each test were infested with 12 egg masses (300
eggs) per plant in six applications of two masses, spaced 1 d
apart. Leaf-feeding ratings in the first-generation tests were made
3 wk after egg hatch. Sheath-collar feeding ratings and stalk
damage were made 60 d after egg hatch in the second-generation
tests. In combination with several susceptible inbred lines, DE811
resistance showed partial
dominance for resistance to leaf feeding by first-generation
European corn borers and for resistance to sheath-collar feeding
and stalk damage by second-generation European corn borers. Single
crosses of DE811 X resistant inbred lines had high
resistance to both European corn borer generations.

Abstract: During 1986, 1987 and 1988, selected plot sizes
andshapes were evaluated for suitability in field experiments
designed to compare soybean,Glycine max (L.) Merrill, cultivars for
resistance to larvae of the velvetbean caterpillar,
Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hubner). Plot size or shape did not
significantly affect the relativerankings between cultivars in
density or percentage of defoliation; therefore, any of the
plotsizes or shapes examined in our experiments appear suitable for
use in field experiments tocompare soybean cultivars for resistance
to this defoliating pest. Plot size and
shapeinfluenced the mean and precision of density and injury
estimates. Estimates of larval density and percentage of
defoliation were greater in plots of two or more rows than in one-
row and hillplots. Precision of density and percentage of
defoliation estimates were best for the plot sizeof two linear rows
each 3 m long. Consequently, a plot size of two linear rows each 3
mlong appears the best option for field screening
experiments.

Abstract: There is a paucity of information on the relationships
between modern (i.e., released in or after 1978) and historically
obsolete cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars with respect to
their ability to yield when grown in the presence of high levels of
tobacco budworm (TBW), Heliothis virescens F. The objective of this
study was to compare 18 cultivars of cotton developed
between 1890 and 1986 for ability to yield when grown with and
without TBW infestations. This comparison was accomplished by
growing cultivars for 2 yr under two regimes: (i) artificial
infestation with TBW (w/TBW) and (ii) complete control of all
insect pests (w/o TBW). The regression equation for lint
percentage w/o TBW on lint yield w/o TBW was Y = 26.8 + 0.0076 X,
with an R2 of 0.58. Thus, lint percentage has increased 0.76% for
every 100 kg ha-1 increase in lint yield. The regression equation
for number of bolls w/o TBW on lint yields w/o TBW was Y = 73,689
+ 402 X, with an R2 of 0.83. The regression equation for lint yield
w/TBW on lint yield w/o TBW was Y = -48.4 + 0.69 X, with an R2 of
0.84. Thus, for every 1.00 kg of lint yield increase due to
breeding during the 96-yr period there was a corresponding lint
yield increase under TBW infestation of only 0.69 kg. The newer
cultivars yielded more than the older cultivars, with number of
boils per unit area and lint percentage being the primary
components involved in increased yields. Some of the newer
cultivars yielded as much w/TBW as some of the older cultivars w/o
TBW. In addition, the newest cultivar (DES 119; 1986) yielded
significantly more than any other cultivar when grown w/o TBW. It
also yielded significantly more when grown w/TBW than any
cultivar developed before 1982.

Abstract: Eight locally improved pearl millet
(Pennisetumamericanum (L.) Leeke) cultivars were compared with the
traditional cultivar 'Souna'during the 1982-1984 crop seasons for
their reaction to the attack of three insect pests andtwo diseases
in Senegal. In 1984, 'H9-127' harbored lower larval populations of
Lema planifronsWeise (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) than seven
cultivars tested. When the level of stalk infestation and number of
larval Acigona ignefusalis Hampson (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were
compared among the nine cultivars, none was resistant. Cultivar
'IBV-8001' showed theleast susceptibility to Raghuva albipunctella
De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae),
downymildew (caused by Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) Schroet.),
and head smut (causedby Tolyposporium penicillariae Bref.). Because
'IBV-8001' is more resistant to oneinsect pest and two diseases and
its yields are higher than those of 'Souna', its generalcultivation
is recommended in major millet-growing zones of Senegal.

Abstract: Two maize (Zea mays) synthetics, BSAA and BSBB, were
recurrently selected for resistance to Diplodia (Diplodia maydis)
stalk rot (DSR) and leaf feeding caused by the first-generation
European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) (ECB), based on the
reaction of S1 lines to artificial inoculations of D. maydis and
artificial infestations of the ECB. This study was conducted to
determine if plant factors contributing to DSR and ECB resistance
also conferred resistance to anthracnose stalk rot (ASR) caused by
Colletotrichum graminicola and northern corn leaf blight (NLB)
caused by Exserohilum turcicum. Highly significant linear
improvements in ASR resistance were observed over cycles (C0 to C4)
of selection in both synthetics. These improvements mirrored the
gains reported previously for DSR resistance in BSAA and BSBB and
suggested that a genetic correlation exists between DSR resistance
and ASR resistance in these populations. NLB severity ratings were
recorded on six dates throughout the growing season. A natural
logarithm transformation was used to describe the disease progress
curve for each of the C0 to C4 populations of each synthetic.
Linear regression of lnNLB ratings on lnDATE (days after
inoculation) accounted for more than 97% of the variation among
entries when averaged over replications. Our results showed no
concomitant improvement in NLB resistance over cycles of selection
for ECB resistance, contradicting previous reports that 2,4-
dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA), a know
biochemical factor in leaf-feeding resistance, confers resistance
to NLB.

Abstract: The expression of resistance of wheat (Triticum spp.) to
the Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say) is affected by cultivar,
biotype, and temperature. The objectives of this study were to: (i)
evaluate the resistance of seven durum wheat (T. durum desf.) and
four common wheat (T.aestivum L.) introductions, and three wheat
checks to biotypes B, D, and L of Hessian fly, and (ii) examine
their expressions of resistance to biotype D at three temperatures.
Tests against the three biotypes were
conducted in a greenhouse at 19 +/- 2 degrees C; temperature
experiments were conducted in a controlled environment chambers at
19, 23, and 26 +/- degrees C. In all experiments, 30 seeds of each
wheat line were planted in a row in a 54 X 36 X 8 cm wooden flat
filled with a greenhouse soil mixture. Twenty-one days after
infestation, the seedlings were classified as resistant or
susceptible. The 11 wheat introductions were resistant to
biotypes B, D, and L under greenhouse conditions. Nearly all
seedlings of the durum lines Portugal 2536, Portugal 2852,
Rebeiro, BD 3431 and IN 8464 (H5H5) were resistant at 19, 23, and
26 degrees C. Fewer seedlings of the durum lines BD 3414, BD 3885,
and PI 422297; and of the common wheat lines PI 86202, PI 117499,
PI 134867, PI 321644, and Abe' (H5H5) were resistant at
temperatures less than 19 degrees C. Resistance conferred by the H5
gene was expressed in a greater percentage of seedlings of IN 8464
than Abe, especially at temperatures less than 19 degrees C. These
results are of practical importance to wheat breeders in tropical
or sub-tropical regions of the world where Hessian fly is a serious
pest of wheat.

Abstract: Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growers use significant
quantities of insecticides to control pink bollworm (PBW),
Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders). The germplasm line WC-12NL
(nectariless, okra leaf, and early maturing) and 'Deltapine 61'
(nectaried, normal leaf, and later maturing) were grown at
Maricopa, AZ, and Brawley, CA, for three seasons. Irrigation water
was terminated and plots were defoliated earlier than normal, a
practice that favored the early-maturing line.
Insecticides were applied as needed, based on PBW egg
infestations of cotton bolls. The major objective was to
determine whether insecticide use can be reduced or eliminated by
growing WC-12NL. Other objectives were to compare WC-12NL with
Deltapine 61 for PBW resistance, yield, earliness, and fiber
properties; to study location and seasonal effects; and to
determine whether the growth-regulating chemical ethephon (2-
chloroethylphosphonic acid) would cause bolls to open earlier. The
mean number of insecticide applications was 41% lower for WC-12NL
than for Deltapine 61. First and last application dates averaged 21
d later and 10 d earlier. respectively, for WC-12NL. WC-12NL had
significantly less seed damage caused by PBW, yielded significantly
more lint, was significantly earlier, but had inferior fiber
properties compared with Deltapine 61. Ethephon treatment increased
earliness of Deltapine 61 but did not affect that of WC-12NL,
probably because it was applied too late.
Location and seasonal effects and numerous interactions occurred,
but did not alter the main conclusion that a cotton line such as
WC-12NL (but with improved fiber properties) could be valuable in
areas where PBW is a problem.

Abstract: Five inbred maize (Zea mays L.) lines (B37, B73, C103,
Mo17, and 41:2504B) were evaluated from emergence to the eight-leaf
stage for corn leaf aphid (Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch))
colonization. Concentration of 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxyl-1,4-
benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) in these inbred lines was analyzed from
emergence to anthesis to determine its effect on corn leaf aphid
colony development. Inbred line 41:2504B, which was colonized by
corn leaf aphids as it emerged from the soil, had the highest
DIMBOA concentration. Inbred lines B73 and B37 were low in DIMBOA
and were colonized in the three- and six-leaf stages,
respectively. Inbred lines C103 and Mo17 also were low in DIMBOA
and supported small colonies after the six- and seven-leaf
stages, respectively. Contrary to findings of previous studies,
DIMBOA does not seem to be the primary factor conditioning
resistance to the corn leaf aphid in these inbreds.

Abstract: Young tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.), larvae
prefer to feed along the margin area of the calyx crown of cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) squares. This area is devoid of gossypol
glands. On resistant cotton lines, which contain glands in the
calyx crown, the larvae feed sporadically on the tissue and avoid
the gossypol glands. The numbers of gossypol glands on bracts of
small squares, calyx crown, bract mid-rib, and the entire calyx
differed significantly between a susceptible and three resistant
cotton lines. When young larvae were placed on squares for 12 d,
the lines with greater than 80 glands per small square bract or 30
glands per calyx crown produced larvae
significantly smaller than did lines with fewer glands.

Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate whether pH values
of selected maize, Zea mays (L.), tissues could serve as useful
screening criteria for resistance to whorl leaf feeding and stalk
tunneling by the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis
(Hubner). Inbred line CI31A displayed the highest whorl leaf pH and
had the least leaf feeding. Over all six maize genotypes, however,
only a low level of correlation (P < 0.05, r = -0.35) between whorl
leaf ph and whorl leaf feeding was observed.
Similarly, in a study of four inbred lines, correlations of leaf
sheath and stalk pith pH with amount of stalk tunneling were
inconsistent and of low magnitude. When whorl leaf, leaf sheath,
and stalk pith pH were determined in four cycles of selection of a
maize population which had undergone recurrent selection for
resistance to both generations of European corn borer, no
significant relationships between pH and cycle of selection were
observed. Measurement of pH of these plant parts apparently would
not be a useful technique to select genotypes resistant to
European corn borer.

Abstract: Pink bollworm (PBW), Pectinophora gossypiella
Saunders, is a serious insect pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum
L., in the irrigated deserts of the southwestern USA. Several
sources of resistance to PBW have been identified in cotton. The
objectives of this study were to determine whether certain other
sources are equal or superior to a resistance standard, AET-5 (as
shown by the amount of seed damage sustained by the plants), and
whether F1 hybrids show higher levels of resistance than expected
based on parental response. A series of diallel and generation-mean
experiments was grown in the field at Tempe and Maricopa, AZ, from
1982 to 1987. No insecticide was applied. The diallel analyses
revealed significant general and specific combining ability (GCA
and SCA) and reciprocal effects, as well as year X GCA and year X
SCA interactions, which complicated the
interpretation of the data. However, it was clear that of the 13
lines evaluated, only Stoneville 7A okra leaf was equal to AET-5 as
a source of PBW resistance. The line 7203-14-104, while
showing some PBW resistance, was inferior to AET-5. Furthermore
generation-mean analysis of AET-5 X 7203-14-104 data revealed large
nonadditive genetic effects, which would make it difficult to
combine or transfer resistance. Texas 39C-1-L behaved
inconsistently with respect to PBW resistance; however, this line
has a higher yield potential than AET-5 and, from this
standpoint, deserves continued evaluation. No F1 hybrid and only
one F1 reciprocal hybrid had significantly lower seed damage than
that of the lowest parent.

Abstract: In the Pacific Northwest of the United States, certain
cool-season turfgrasses grown for seed are colonized by Russian
wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko). The objectives of our
study were to determine which turf grass species are colonized and
damaged by the aphid, to determine if genetic resistance occurs
within genotypes of the same species, and to determine if fungal
endophytes enhance aphid resistance in turfgrasses.
Compared with cereal species and intermediate wheatgrass
(Elytrigia intermedia (Host) Nevski subsp. intermedia), turfgrass
species were not as susceptible to Russian wheat aphid. Festuca
spp. were better hosts than other grass species. Perennial
ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. 'Repell' and 'Regal') had resistance 6
wk after infestation. Redtop (Agrostis alba L. 'Streaker'), sheep
fescue (Festuca ovina L. 'Azay'), slender creeping red fescue (F.
rubra subsp. litoralis 'Logro'), and tall fescue (F. arundinacea
Screb. 'Mustang,' 'Apache,' and 'Rebel') had
intermediate resistance to Russian wheat aphid feeding. 'Repell'
and 'Regal' were infected with a fungal endophyte, Acremonium lolii
Latch, Christenson, & Samuels. 'Mustang' was infected with
Acremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones & Gams, and 'Wrangler' was
infected with an unidentified species of Acremonium. Sheep fescue
'Bighorn' and strong creeping fed fescue (F. rubra L. subsp. rubra,
'Ruby') were infected with Epichloe typhina (Pers. ex Fr.) Tul.
'Repell' and 'Regal' showed the greatest resistance to aphid
feeding, suggesting that plant resistance may have been enhanced by
the presence of fungal endophytes. Observations suggest that
Russian wheat aphid survival was better on isogenic lines of
endophyte-free tall fescue and that nymphs were more sensitive to
the presence of fungal endophyte than adults. Researchers in the
areas of plant resistance and germplasm screening for genetic
resistance to aphids must be cognizant of fungal endophyte and its
effect on aphid biology.

Abstract: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko),
has become a serious threat to wheat, Triticum spp., production in
the western United States. The use of resistant wheat
cultivars as a management strategy, for this pest is highly,
desirable. Thus, several collections of wheat and related species
have been tested to locate sources of resistance. The USDA-ARS
National Triticale Collection, consisting of 731 lines, was one of
the collections tested. Initial mass screening tests were done in
greenhouse flats in environmental chambers. Seven triticale,
xTriticosecale Wittmack, lines with varying degrees of resistance
were identified. Four lines from Russia (PI 386148, PI 386149, PI
386150, and PI 386156) and one line from California (Cl 82) were
the most resistant in the screening tests. Additional tests were
done with all seven lines to determine the mechanisms of
resistance. Antibiosis appeared to be the most discernible
mechanism of resistance, with significantly lower reproduction
occurring on the triticales than on 'TAM W-101' wheat, Triticum
aestivum L., or 'Snoopy' rye, Secale cereale L. Greater levels of
resistance in the triticales over 'TAM W-101' were observed also in
antixenosis and tolerance tests. The Russian triticales have been
incorporated into the wheat breeding program for development of
germplasm resistant to D. noxia.

Abstract: The development of new virulent biotypes continuously
forces entomologists and breeders to search for new sources of
resistance to protect common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from the
Hessian fly, [Mayetiola destructor (Say)]. Two hundred and
seventeen durum wheats (T. turgidum L. var. durum) from Tunisia
were evaluated in a greenhouse for resistance to biotypes of GP, D,
and L of Hessian fly. Of these, 88, 86, and 59% were
considered potential sources of resistance to biotypes GP, D, and
L, respectively. Twenty-five durum wheats from Morocco also were
tested for resistance to biotypes D and L, and 60% were resistant
to one or both biotypes. Four resistant Moroccan durum wheats, land
races Oued Zenati and BD 1026 and cultivars Jori and Hajj Mouline,
were intercrossed and crossed to either or both of the susceptible
checks 'Zeramek S' and 'ACSAD 65'. Results from testing F2
populations, F2:3 families, and testcross F1:2
families to biotype D showed that Oued Zenati possesses two
independent dominant genes for resistance. The other land race, BD
0126, has a single dominant gene apparently allelic or closely
linked to one of the genes in Oued Zenati. Resistance in Jori and
Hajj Mouline is controlled by the same single dominant gene,
independent of the genes in Oued Zenati and BD 0126 and of the H9
and H1O genes in the durum wheat 'Elva'. Thus, the three genes in
the Morocco durum wheats appear to be different from the
previously designated genes H1 through H13, based on species of
origin and reactions to biotypes D and L and to populations of
Hessian fly in Morocco. The identification of a large number of
Hessian fly-resistant durum wheats from Tunisia and Morocco, along
with the presence of three independent genes in a sample of only
four durum wheats from Morocco, indicates that North African durum
germplasm is a rich source of new genes for resistance to Hessian
fly in the USA.

Abstract: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes
regenerated from tissue culture were evaluated under field and
laboratory conditions for resistance to leaf-feeding by the fall
armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). Two regenerated
lines were identified as having a significantly higher level of
resistance to fall armyworm feeding as compared with the non-
regenerated and susceptible parent, 'Hegari'. Laboratory studies
measuring growth and development of fall armyworm were conducted
with meridic diets containing dried sorghum foliage from
regenerated or non-regenerated plant material. Significant
reductions in larval weights were detected for two R3 lines
compared with the nonregenerated parent, suggesting that
antibiosis may be involved. Free-choice studies revealed a
significant degree of non-preference for the R3 line that had shown
the greatest adverse effect on fall armyworm growth in the
developmental studies. These results indicate that tissue
culture-induced variations can be a viable means of generating new
sources of genetic diversity for use in crop improvement.

Abstract: Experiments were carried out to determine the relative

(Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes, S12 (ASE/2CM/ /B.7.6.B.B.), S13
(Gloria/Come), S16 ('Esperanza') and S17 ('Shyri') to the Russian
wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko). Oats (Avena sativa L.
var. 'Paramo') were used as a resistant check. From field
screenings, S12 and S13 were selected as resistant to D. noxia and
S16 and S17 susceptible. S12 and S13, in comparison with S16 and
S17, showed high levels of antibiosis, demonstrated by low rates of
nymph production on whole plants and on excised leaves. S13 showed
higher tolerance than the other genotypes; mature plant height was
reduced slightly by D. noxia feeding, and dry mass foliage loss per
unit of aphid mass produced was relatively low. No antixenosis was
demonstrated for the barley genotypes. Overall, S12 and S13 were
more resistant to D. noxia in terms of antibiosis and tolerance
than S16 and S17. S13 is a widely
tested, high-yielding barley genotype with multiple disease
resistance and represents for breeders a useful source of
resistance to D. noxia in a superior genetic background.

Abstract: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), is
a serious pest of cultivated barley, Hordeum vulgare L., grown
where the aphid is endemic. Russian wheat aphid resistance
identified in several wild Hordeum spp. may provide genetic
variation necessary to breed Russian wheat aphid-resistant
cultivated barleys. Eighty-four accessions representing seven
species and four subspecies of wild Hordeum were screened to
identify resistance to the Russian wheat aphid. Resistance was
measured by plant damage, aphid reproduction, and aphid survival
when confined to the plant for 14 d. Thirty-six of the 84
accessions were killed in the initial screening. Of the remaining
48 accessions, the damage rating scores (1 = no injury, 9 = dead
plants) ranged from 1.33 to 7.67. There were intra -and
interspecific differences among accessions, with the highest levels
of resistance in H. bulbosum L. and H. brevisubulatum (Trin.) Link
subsp. violaceum Boiss. & Hohen. One accession of H. bogdani Wil.
had an intermediate level of resistance. Several accessions of H.
bulbosum and one accession of H. brevisubulatum subsp. violaceum
had low damage ratings, low aphid reproduction, and low leaf-
curling ratings compared with other wild Hordeum accessions and the
cereal cheeks. Broadening the genetic base of cultivated barley by
the introduction of resistant alien genes may provide additional
protection from new virulent strains or biotypes of the Russian
wheat aphid.

Abstract: The potential for resistance to Rhopalosiphum padi (L.)
was evaluated in seedlings of Agropyron elongatum (Host.) Beauv.,
Agropyron intermedium (Host.) Beauv., Agropyron repens L. Beauv.,
Elymus angustus Trin., and hybrids obtained from crosses between
these perennial Gramineae and cultivated wheat, Triticum aestivum
L. Binary choice tests designed to detect antixenosis showed that
A. repens and the hybrid wheat x A. repens were less attractive
than the two parental wheat varieties used to produce the hybrid (P
< 0.05). Parameters of aphid performance, including reproductive
rate, duration of prereproductive period, adult fresh weight, and
aphid biomass, also allowed the detection of various levels of
antibiosis in the four perennial grasses and hybrids tested.
Results showed that natural resistance found in Agropyron and
Elymus spp. can be successfully transmitted to hybrids produced
from their crosses with cultivated wheat.

Abstract: Twospotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae K., are
pests of maize, Zea mays L., in some areas of the USA. Resistant
genotypes are needed to reduce plant damage caused by this pest.
Two laboratory and three field experiments were conducted in 1986
to determine the resistance-susceptibility of maize genotypes to an
artificial infestation by the twospotted spider mite. Inbred line
41:2504B was highly resistant to the twospotted spider mite in both
laboratory and field tests. This inbred exhibited a high degree of
antibiosis against the mite; few mites survived, and little leaf
damage resulted from the artificial infestation. This inbred also
is highly resistant to the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis
Hubner, and has been used as a nonrecurrent parent to develop
several genotypes of maize resistant to this pest. Our data show
that 41:2504B also could be used to develop genotypes of maize
resistant to twospotted spider mites. Nine other genotypes had
intermediate or susceptible reactions to twospotted spider mites,
with Mo17 being the most susceptible.

Abstract: Resistance to Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia
Mordvilko) (RWA) remains scarce in hexaploid wheat (Triticum
aestivum L. em. Thell.) and has been identified only in unadapted
wheats. Introduction of resistance from related species is a viable
alternative. A greenhouse study was conducted to identify possible
sources of resistance to RWA, and to examine RWA
screening techniques. After screening 133 triticale (X
Triticosecale Wittmack) lines in replicated flat screening tests,
11 resistant lines were identified and evaluated along with 3
susceptible lines and 1 susceptible wheat for antibiosis,
antixenosis, and tolerance. In preliminary screening trials,
correlations of 0.50 (P less than or equal to 0.05) to 0.58 (P less
than or equal to 0.01) were found between plant damage ratings and
plant heights. Plant damage ratings and antibiosis values also were
correlated (r = 0.55, P less than or equal to 0.05). Antixenosis
time periods of 24, 48, and 72 h were
compared. There were significant differences between resistant and
susceptible lines for antibiosis and tolerance, but not for
antixenosis. Number of nymphs per adult ranged from 0 to 9 in
antibiosis tests. Plant stunting ranged from 0 to 16.5 cm among
resistant tines and from 8 to 21.5 an among susceptible lines in
tolerance tests. Correlations among all three antixenosis
evaluation times were significant. We concluded that excellent
sources of RWA resistance exist in triticale, and that resistance
is expressed primarily as antibiosis and tolerance.

Abstract: To test methods to screen for resistance, commercial
sorghum hybrids and lines were subjected to nymphs and adults of
the chinch bug, Blissus leucopterus leucopterus (Say), at the
seedling stage in the greenhouse. A hybrid or line that had
significantly higher plant mortality in a choice feeding test did
not always show the same reaction in a no-choice test. 'KS 71' died
in fewer days than 'KS 72' or 'BCK 60' in choice feeding tests, but
the three hybrids did not differ in no-choice tests. Hybrids and
lines tested in no-choice multiple-plant experiments tended to
react to chinch bugs in a manner similar to previously reported
field tests. Screening methods in the greenhouse were also compared
with those in the growth chamber. Generally, days from infestation
to plant death of chinch bug-infested sorghum hybrids or lines did
not differ significantly in a greenhouse or growth chamber. Five of
29 hybrid and line comparisons differed significantly from others
in the growth chamber and not in the greenhouse, or vice versa.
Differences did not tend to occur in one environment and not in the
other. Days from investation to plant death of lines and hybrids,
in greenhouse versus growth chamber tests agreed with those
obtained in field tests. All lines and hybrids were eventually
killed by the high chinch bug populations used in the experiments.
Greenhouse or growth chamber experiments are equally effective to
test for resistance.

Abstract: Insect resistance in soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr.,
cultivars would reduce the use of chemical insecticides,
resulting in less risk to the environment and increased grower
profits. The objectives of this research were to develop an
effective greenhouse screening procedure to identify soybean
genotypes with resistance to defoliating insects and provide
information on the number of replications required to obtain
desired levels of precision for the procedure. Neonate larvae were
placed on 12- to 16-d-old potted plants. Insects had free choice
among plants for 14 d within replicates, but larval
movement away from a replicate was prevented by maintaining the
potted plants in stainless steel pans containing 2 cm of water.
Replicate blocks were separated so that leaves did not
intermingle. Several hundred soybean genotypes were evaluated at
one time. Defoliation of test plants by the corn earworm,
Heliothis zea (Boddie), in the greenhouse screening system
correlated (r = 0.60; P less than 0.01) to insect defoliation of
soybean plants in field nurseries. The ranking of the genotypes
based on defoliation by the corn earworm; tobacco budworm, H.
virescens (Fabricius); soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens
(Walker); velvetbean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner,
green cloverworm, Plathypena scabra (Fabricius); beet armyworm,
Spodoptera exigua (Hubner); and fall armyworm, S. frugiperda (J.E.
Smith), was similar in greenhouse tests. For example, feeding by
all insect species was inbibited by Plant Introduction 229358 and
GatIR81-296, genotypes with known multiple insect resistance. Of
seven insect species tested, the corn earworm was the easiest to
work with in the greenhouse screening program and required fewer
replications than most other species to
demonstrate stipulated levels of resistance. For example, a
difference of 40% in the overall mean of the experiment between two
genotypes required seven replicates with corn earworm and 18
replicates with soybean loope

Abstract: Utilization of soybean, Glycine max (L). Merr.,
cultivars with moderate levels of insect resistance can increase
grower profits by reducing the use of insecticides and reduce the
risk of insecticidal residues in the human food chain. Research was
conducted to determine soybean cultivar variation for
resistance to defoliation by corn earworm (CEW), Heliothis zea
(Boddie); soybean looper (SBL), Pseudoplusia includens (Walker);
velvetbean caterpillar (VBC), Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hubner); and
beet armyworm (BAW), Spodoptera exigua (Hubner). Fifty-six
Maturity Group (MG) V, VI, VII, and VIII genotypes, consisting of
46 cultivars and 10 insect-resistant checks, were evaluated in the
greenhouse and field. Greenhouse experiments were conducted by
infesting 14-d-old plants with neonate larvae of CEW, SBL, or VBC.
Amount of defoliation was visually determined 14 d after
infestation. Field experiments were conducted at Athens, CA, by
infesting plants in a cage with eggs or neonate larvae of CEW and
at Midville, GA, with natural populations of BAW. Two visual
estimates of amount of defoliation were made st Athens and three at
Midville. There were no differences for levels of defoliation among
the cultivars in MG V. There were significant (P < 0.05)
differences among the cultivars in MG VI, VII, and VIII. 'Coker
686' and 'Deltapine 566' (MG VI), 'Braxton' (MG VII), and 'Coker
6738' (MG VIII) were the most resistant to defoliating insects in
the greenhouse and field. These cultivars showed 50% of the
resistance of insect-resistant checks. Partial correlation
coefficients, after removing the effect of maturity, indicated the
mean greenhouse ratings of the 56 genotypes were positively
associated with the Athens field cage (r = 0.72 ) and Midville
field (r = 0.72 ) ratings (significant at P = 0.01).

Abstract: Eight sorghum genotypes were evaluated for resistance to
Calocoris angustatus Lethiery (Hemiptera: Miridae) at three
infestation levels (5, 10, and 15 pairs of adult bugs per
panicle) over six seasons (1984-1987) under no-choice conditions in
the head cage. 'IS 17610', and 'IS 17645' had significantly lower
bug population increase as compared with the susceptible controls
'CSH 1', 'CSH 5,' and 'CSH 9'. These genotypes also suffered less
grain damage and percentage loss in grain mass and showed higher
seed germination than the susceptible controls. 'IS 2761' and 'IS
9692' generally had lower bug numbers, but suffered higher grain
damage. Descriptors: Gossypium hirsutum; Cultivars; Pest

Abstract: Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) has unique secondary
natural products, sesqui- and sesterterpenoid aldehydes, that have
the potential to control phytophagous insect pests, but information
on their inheritance has been limited to only one compound,
gossypol (G). The objective of this study was to
determine genetic and environmental variances and interactions,
heritability, and genotypic stability for the major nonvolatile
terpenoids in foliar pigment glands. A genotype-by-environment
experiment, which included 14 genotypes having from normal to very
elevated terpenoid content, was conducted at five diverse Texas
locations over 2 yr. Flower buds at the third-grown square stage
and first nonglossy terminal leaves were sampled 3 wk after first
bloom and analyzed by high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) for G,p-hemigossypol quinone (HGQ), and the
heliocides H1, H2, H3, and H4. Aniline-reation measurements were
made for total flower bud terpenoids. The HPLC data for location
means showed differences between the high and low values ranging
from eightfold for leaf HGQ to less than twofold for flower bud H2.
Genetic X environment variance components were less than genetic
variance components in all instances and were generally very small.
Error variance exceeded genetic variance only for HGQ, G, and H4 in
leaves and for H4 in flower buds. Broad-sense heritabilities
averaged 0.46, 0.94. 0.61, and 0.93 for leaves on a plot-basis,
leaves on an entry mean-basis, flower buds on a plot-basis, and
flowers buds on an entry mean-basis,
respectively. Stability analyses gave regression coefficients from
0.05 to 2.11 (1.00 defined a stable genotype.) for high-terpenoid
lines, whereas commercial cultivars had values from 0.11 to 1.05.
Our results indicated that plant breeders and geneticists can
select for higher terpernoid levels if this goal is considered
desirable in the broad context of increasing cotton host-plant
resistance.

Abstract: High-performance liquid chromatographic analyses showed
that leaves of 58 accessions of 18 species of Gossypium exhibited
relatively consistent differences in terpenoids among species.
Cotton terpenoids, such as gossypol, are economically important
secondary metabolites that accumulate primarily in gland structures
throughout the plant. Color and other
morphological characters associated with foliar pigment glands also
were distinctive in this germplasm and could be important for
taxonomic and evolutionary studies. Upland cotton (G.
hirsutum) was crossed with G. raimondii, a species that produces
the unique terpenoid, raimondal. In the interspecific hybrids, we
detected raimondal concentrations in leaves and flower buds that
averaged 9% and 12.3%, respectively, of the level in G.
raimondii. Large reductions occurred in the quantity of para-
oxidation terpenoids in the hybrids in comparison to the
cultivated cotton parents; these reductions were not associated
with major changes in the number or size of the glands. Thus,
terpenoid introgression for profile shifts are possible but will
require careful progeny selection to maximize expression.

Abstract: When studying interactions between trophic levels,
ecologists often restrict their attention to two levels as a means
of simplifying the analysis; unfortunately, this
simplification can be misleading if tritrophic interactions (such
as plant-herbivore-predator) cannot be understood by simply adding
together pairwise interactions (plant-herbivore plus herbivore-
predator, for example). We examined the significance of tritrophic
interactions by asking how the morphology of the common pea (Pisum
sativum) influences the population growth of pea aphids
(Acyrthosiphon pisum) in the presence and in the absence of a third
trophic level. We found significant
interactions between the first trophic level (peas) and the third
trophic level (ladybird beetles) in determining aphid population
growth. Our results point out how simple genetic changes can yield
morphological variants in plants that differ dramatically in their
resistance to herbivores due to the effects of plant architecture
on enemies of the herbivore.

Abstract: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars have been
developed with tolerance to the alfalfa weevil [Hypera postica
(Gyllenhal)], but not antibiosis or nonpreference. This study
evaluated 28 Turkish alfalfa cultivars as sources of resistance
expressed as antibiosis or feeding nonpreference. One hundred
plants of each cultivar were tested in the laboratory to
characterize resistance. Resistance was evaluated by caging 10
neonate alfalfa weevil larvae on plants for 8 d. Mean larval
survival and weight after 8 d feeding was compared with that on the
susceptible cultivar Ranger. Plants selected for resistance were
vegetatively propagated and re-evaluated in replicated tests.
Larval survival and development on Turkish cultivars did no differ
from that on Ranger although larval survival was lower on three
selected clones in one experiment. These clones did not demonstrate
resistance when retested approximately 2 mo later. None of the
Turkish cultivars appeared to be promising sources of antibiosis or
nonpreference.

Abstract: Currently, no single source of greenbug [Schizaphis
graminum (Rondani)] resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
germplasm available to wheat breeders provides resistance to all
known greenbug biotypes in the field. Therefore, two sources of
resistance are being combined in several wheat breeding programs.
This requires the evaluation of progeny for reaction to two
greenbug biotypes instead of one. Our objective was to test the
efficacy of infesting seedlings in the greenhouse with greenbugs of
two biotypes simultaneously. Such a procedure, if feasible, could
economize breeding protocols. OK81322, resistant to
biotypes B and C, a 'Largo' derivative, resistant to biotypes C and
E, and F1 and F2 progeny from the crosses of these genotypes were
infested with a 1:1 mixture of biotypes B and E greenbugs. All
plants of both parental genotypes were susceptible, all F1 plants
were resistant, and the population of F2 plants segregated for
greenbug resistance. Results indicated that evaluation of breeding
material with mixed greenbug populations is reliable, and this
technique should be more efficient than conducting separate biotype
tests.

Abstract: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko),
was discovered in Texas on wheat, Triticum aestivum L., in 1986,
and 17 collections from 11 Texas counties were made that same year.
Two Russian wheat aphid collections, designated as the Randall 2290
colony and the Swisher colony, were tested on four wheat varieties
with three infestation levels to differentiate suseptible and
resistant plants. Two aphids per plant were the best initial
infestation level because higher levels caused too much damage and
masked differences between the wheat varieties. Plant height,
expressed as a percentage of an uninfested check, was a
nonsubjective measure of plant response to Russian wheat aphid. In
a second test, all 17 collections were tested on
TX78V2290-36-1 (TXGH2290) and 'TAM 107' with an initial
infestation level of two aphids per plant. The results from the
second test indicated that there were significant variations in
damage between aphid cultures, and differences between colonies
occurred within counties and between counties. Reproductive
capacity of Russian wheat aphid was affected by variety and was
highest overall on TXGH2290. We suggest that TXGH2290 could be used
as a susceptible standard in future host plant resistant studies,
and this breeding line has been recommended for release. These
findings indicate that there are important genetic
differences within Russian wheat aphid.

Abstract: Some volatile monoterpenes released by cotton
(Gossypium hirsutum L.) are olfactory cues to boll weevils
(Anthonomous grandis Boheman) and some parasites. However,
literature examined showed no studies that described or compared
the monoterpene odor of different cotton genotypes at different
stages of growth or in different environments. The objective of our
study was to determine the monoterpene composition of the air
surrounding flower buds of five cotton genotypes ('CAMD-E',
'SP-37', STV-213', STV-213 glandless, RDC-102 glandless, HG-1, and
LEBO) grown under normal agronomic practices at College Station and
Corpus Christi, TX. The monoterpenes were collected from the air
surrounding excised buds of each genotype with a Porap ak Q
effluvial collection system. The quantity of each monoterpene was
determined with capillary column gas
chromatography utilizing purified standards. The most abundant
monoterpenes collected were alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, beta-
myrcene, d-limonene, and beta-ocimene. The total quantity of these
five monoterpenes was greater for buds of glanded genotypes than
for buds of glandless genotypes. Ratios of the five
monoterpenes provided a relatively characteristic chemical
profile for each genotype. Quantities and ratios of the five
monoterpenes collected from buds were dynamic in that they
fluctuated with the age of the cotton plant and the environment in
which the plants were grown. These results indicate that the five
monoterpenes composing, in part, the odor of commercial upland
cotton, may differ spatially, temporally, and genetically. This
suggests that researchers attempting to identify attractive plant
odors should simultaneously compare insect responses and plant odor
composition.

Abstract: Field studies were conducted in 1984 and 1985 to
evaluate the interaction between black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon
(Hufnagel), damage and weed competition on no-till corn (Zea mays
L.) growth and yields. Corn seedling damage by A. ipsilon
introduced as third instars 5 d before planting was most severe
when weeds were removed at the coleoptile stage and larvae were
predicted to be fifth to sixth instars. Delaying weed removal until
plants had attained the two-leaf stage significantly
decreased the percentage of corn plants damaged by A. ipsilon
larvae. A. ipsilon larvae introduced as second instars or a
combination of neonate, second, and third instars 5 d before
planting damaged more corn plants when weed removal was performed
at two-leaf stage corn and larvae were predicted to be fifth to
sixth instars. A significant relationship between the number of
corn seedlings cut and weed population occurred for these
introduced smaller instars when weed removal occurred at two-leaf
stage corn. Delaying weed removal until four-leaf stage corn
resulted in significant grain yield reductions from both weed
competition and A. ipsilon damage in 1984 and only from weed
competition in 1985.

Abstract: The landing efficiency of the wheat curl mite (WCM),
Eriophyes tulipae, is increased on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
cultivars that have high densities of leaf trichomes. This
results in a higher incidence of wheat streak mosaic (WSM), which
is caused by whey streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and vectored by the
WCM. This study was conducted to determine if moderate levels of
leaf trichomes, found on many commonly grown cultivars, can have a
significant effect on a cultivar's susceptibility to WSMV. Cultivar
trichome density was assessed on greenhouse-grown
plants. The relative ability of WCM to land on the cultivars was
tested in the greenhouse by exposing the plants to airborne WCM and
making WCM counts before reproduction occurred. The incidence of
WSM in the field was assessed by the presence or absence of visual
symptoms and numbers of WCM in spikes were measured during the 1987
and 1988 crop years, at Hays, KS. 'Arkan' and 'TAM 108' had
moderate trichome densities on leaves two, four, and six (three-
leaf mean = 28.4 and 22.8 mm-2, respectively) and were more heavily
infested by WCM in greenhouse and field tests when compared to
cultivars (Century, TAM 107, Larned, and Newton) that have low
trichome densities (6.0, 8.6, 5.0 and 5.7 trichomes mm-2,
respectively). The cultivars with moderate levels of leaf trichomes
also had more plants with WSM in both years. Cultivars (Century and
TAM 107) with the rye (Secale cereale L.)-derived WCM resistance
and few trichomes had the lowest incidence of WSM. Some cultivars
now widely grown in Kansas may have sufficient pubescence to
significantly increase their susceptibility to WSMV. New cultivars
developed for areas where WSMV is a
production constraint would probably benefit from having leaves
with low trichome density.

Abstract: Plant lines with resistance (antibiosis or antixenosis
or both), tolerance, or susceptibility to the spotted alfalfa
aphid, Therioaphis maculata (Buckton), were selected from the
cultivar OK08 for use in studies to describe the within-plant
pattern of the aphid in the foliar canopy of alfalfa. Aphid counts
and damage ratings were analyzed for each node (from the crown),
and profiles of averages per node for each alfalfa line were
prepared to illustrate within-plant patterns. Numbers of spotted
aphids per node or per stem on susceptible and tolerant plants were
significantly higher than on resistant plants. After 10 d of
infestation, damage ratings averaged over nodes were significantly
higher for susceptible plants than for those with resistance or
tolerance. On all three lines, the spotted alfalfa aphid showed a
clear preference for leaf blades over petioles or stems, and the
greatest numbers were consistently found on nodes nearest the plant
crowns. Little upward movement on stems was evident until damage to
leaf blades of lower nodes had resulted in necrosis and leaf drop.

Abstract: More than 5,000 Ethiopia lines of sorghum were
evaluated for yellow sugarcane aphid, Sipha flava (Forbes),
resistance. Three lines (PI 453951, PI 457709, and PI 457715) were
moderately resistant as determined by visual damage ratings of
seedlings in greenhouse flat tests. These lines were then subjected
to additional tests to determine the components or mechanisms of
resistance. All three lines exhibited antibiosis, with an average
of 19.0, 22.3, and 25.0 nymphs per adult on PI 453951, PI 457715,
and PI 457709, respectively, compared with 62.3 nymphs per adult on
PI 264453, a widely used source of resistance to greenbug
(Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)).
Antixenosis (nonpreference) did not appear to be a resistance
mechanism of these lines. In the tolerance test, growth of plants
infested with yellow sugarcane aphid ranged from 77% of the
uninfested plants of PI 457715 to 36% in PI 264453. Although the
level of yellow sugarcane aphid resistance is not as high as the
greenbug resistance that has been incorporated into many sorghum
hybrids, these lines appear to be the best sources currently
available. Thus, field tests and inheritance studies with the three
lines are justified.

Abstract: The nectariless (N) and okra-leaf (L) traits confer low
levels of resistance in cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., to pink
bollworm (PBW), Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders). The semi-
smoothleaf (SS) trait reduces the amount of leaf trash in
mechanically harvested seed-cotton. The main objective of this
study was to compare NL (or NSSL) isolines with N (or NSS)
isolines and with check cultivars for resistance to PBW, lint
yield, earliness, and fiber properties. The experiments were grown
at three locations: Tempe, AZ; Maricopa, AZ; and Brawley, CA. In
three experiments grown without the use of insecticide, two of the
six NL (or NSSL isolines (DES 56NL and DES 24NSSL) had
significantly less seed damage caused by PBW, did not yield
significantly less lint, were significantly earlier, and had
deficient to comparable fiber properties when compared with the N
counterpart isolines. The Stoneville 825 NL isolines yielded
significantly more lint and had fiber properties comparable to the
N isoline, but was not earlier and did not have less seed damage.
All N, NL, NSS, and NSSL lines that were compared with nectaried,
regular-leaf cultivars sustained less seed damage, and most were
equal in lint yield and earliness. In a fourth,
insecticide-treated experiment, DES 56NL required fewer
insecticide applications, had significantly less seed damage, and
was earlier maturing than the nectaried, regular-leaf Deltapine 61'
(DPL-61) at two locations, and yielded more lint at one location.
Fiber of DES 56NL was shorter, weaker, and coarser, but had
elongation strength equal to that of DPL-61. In three of the four
experiments, some year X cotton and location X cotton
interaction effects were significant. Thus, in spite of some
deficiencies in properties and performance, cotton germplasm lines
are becoming available that combine PBW resistance with yield
potential, earliness, and fiber properties that approach or equal
those traits in cultivars.
