Resistance sources for wheat aphid : An update

Evaluation of wheat (triticum SPP.) resistance to the russian wheat aphid (diuraphis noxia mordvilko)

Genome of Russian wheat aphid an economically important cereal aphid

Although the hemipterans (Aphididae) are comprised of roughly 50,000 extant insect species, only four have sequenced genomes that are publically available, namely Acyrthosiphon pisum (pea aphid), Rhodnius prolixus (Kissing bug), Myzus persicae (Green peach aphid) and Diuraphis noxia (Russian wheat aphid). As a significant proportion of agricultural pests are phloem feeding aphids, it is crucial...

Characterization of resistance components to russian wheat aphid diuraphis noxia (mordvilko) in several wheat (triticum SPP.)genotypes

An Early Indicator of Resistance in Barley to Russian Wheat Aphid.

During early stages of infestation by Russian wheat aphids (Diuraphis noxia [Mordvilko]; RWAs), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaf cells collapsed and showed autofluorescence in the mesophyll and bundle sheath adjacent to the RWA stylet sheath. The response was visually similar to the hypersensitive cell death response, typical of resistance to microbial pathogens. Resistant barley produced signi...

Selenium compounds for fish health: An update

Oxidative stress has become an important subject for terrestrial and aquatic toxicology. The trace element selenium has been demonstrated in chemo-prevention and drug-resistance through reduction of oxidative stress. Selenium compounds could prevent damage to the unsaturated fatty acid of subcellular membranes by lipid peroxidation induced by free radicals in fish.
