In the tephritids Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera oleae, the gene transformer acts as the memory device for sex determination, via an auto-regulatory function; and functional Tra protein is produced only in females. This paper investigates the evolution of the gene tra, which was characterised in twelve tephritid species belonging to the less extensively analysed genus Anastrepha. Our study p...

Erwinia oleae is a nonpathogenic bacterial species isolated from olive knots caused by Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. savastanoi. Since the presence of E. oleae in the knots increases disease severity, interspecies interactions with the pathogen are hypothesized. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of the E. oleae type strain.

The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is one of the key insect pests infesting orchards in Mediterranean areas. Its coevolution with tree, Olea europaea, made this pest highly specialized for crop, being responsible several yield reductions terms fruits and oil organoleptic properties. Monitoring is, to date, main tool assess entity infestations, but increasing availability biological informatio...

Dünyadaki zeytin üretiminin %93’nün yer aldığı Akdeniz kuşağındaki ülkelerde ana zararlı konumunda olan Zeytin sineği (Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) Diptera; Tephritidae) üründe ekonomik kayba neden olmaktadır. Zararlı ile mücadele yapılmaz ise, zarar oranı %30-40 seviyesine ulaşmaktadır. Son yıllarda kimyasal mücadeleye alternatif olarak, erginleri yakalamada kombine tuzaklar kullanılmaktadır. Bu ...
