A study was performed to assess the preference of fourteen mango cultivars for fruit flies and their management by bagging. So the choice of Tephritid flies to mango cultivars during fruiting phase is crucial. Fourteen different cultivars of mango viz., ‘Dusehri’, ‘Malda’, ‘Langra’ early cultivars, ‘Chaunsa’, ‘Fajri Klan’, ‘Sensation’ medium whereas ‘Sanglakhi’, ‘Retaul-12’, ‘Mehmood Khan’, ‘Tukhmi’, ‘Kala Chaunsa’, ‘Chitta Chaunsa’, ‘Dai Wala’ and ‘Sobey De Ting’ late cultivars were assessed for their suitability for fruit flies. The results indicate that the population density of fruit flies was higher on late cultivars like ‘Sanglakhi’ (20.61 percent), ‘Mehmood Khan’ (20.22 percent) and ‘Reutal-12’ (19.92 percent) were proved to be highly susceptible to fruit flies. Among these the cultivar ‘Reutal-12’ was selected being commercial and future cultivar for the management of fruit flies through bagging. The results reported that the attack of tephritid fruit flies and other insect pests were zero in bagged fruits as compared with control. It was further recorded that the bagged fruits has maximum average fruit weight i.e. 203.50 and 197.83 g per fruit was noted in those treatments where butter paper bag and brown paper bag was wrapped with better coloration as compared with un-bagged fruit with 159.5 g per fruit. Similarly, on an average fruit length were more i.e. 90.17, 91.33 mm in bagged fruit and 85.33 in un-bagged fruits. Furthermore, bagged fruits have zero incidence of disease with reduced fruit crack, fruit sunburn, mechanical damage, bird damage, fruit blemished and agrochemical residues on the fruit. So, it is concluded that the special attention should be given on ‘Reutal-12’ for the management of fruit flies when devising an IPM program for the control of fruit flies. Further, bagging has proved to be the good agricultural practices for the production of quality mango. 相似文献

Urban expansion can be seen as the most pervasive human impact on the environment where its high resource use contributes negatively to climate change and resource scarcity crises. Many experts call for decoupling resource use, economic development, and related urban development especially within cities of the Global South. This paper focuses on investigating resource efficiency through the lens of urban metabolism. It investigates current resource flows, through material flow analysis, from source to sink, in two diverse districts in Cairo: a formal district and an informal one, regarding materials (waste) and mobility. Consequently, the paper discusses locally responsive interventions that address local priorities as opposing to citywide one‐size fits all solution. The paper relies on parcel audits, which are embedded in an Urban Metabolism Information System developed by the Ecocity Builders and their partners, through a joint project with Cairo University. The methodology couples crowd‐sourced data, parcel audits, and experts’ knowledge to better understand resource flows based on a bottom‐up approach, given the unavailability of governmental data on the local level. The paper further correlates the perceived quality of life with the actual resource flows. It utilizes fieldwork investigations to argue against the local misconceptions regarding the inefficiency of informal areas/systems versus the higher efficiency of planned areas/systems. The paper concludes by proposing integrated solutions that respond to local needs and resources. It highlights the challenges and lessons of this tailored bottom‐up approach and its applicability in other cities worldwide. 相似文献

In 2004–05, during the December to February about 141 mango farmers were interviewed during peak activity of mango mealy bug in southern Punjab, Pakistan. The objective was to know the farmers’ knowledge, perceptions and practices in the management of mango mealy bug. Most of the farmers (94.33%) reported that Chaunsa variety (king of all mango varieties) was susceptible to mango and irrigation water was the major source of flare up of this pest. Basudin and Supracide were the most commonly used insecticides as 72.92 and 51.77 percent farmers gave positive response and grease bands were applied for the control of mango mealy bug by the majority of the respondents. Hundred percent yield losses was told by 22.7 percent respondents whereas 75 percent, 50 percent and 25 percent losses were reported by 39.7, 31.9 and 14.2 insecticidal spray did not show satisfaction to the respondents for the control of fertilized females of mango mealy bug coming down from the trees. Lack of knowledge about the pest, lack of money, adulterated and shortage of pesticides, lack of unity amongst farmers Further the growers’ views were tested in the field for confirmation and small land holdings were the main constraints for the control of mango mealy bug. 相似文献

Lepidoptera is the second most diverse insect order outnumbered only by the Coeleptera. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the major target site for insecticides. Extensive use of insecticides, to inhibit the function of this enzyme, have resulted in the development of insecticide resistance. Complete knowledge of the target proteins is very important to know the cause of resistance. Computational annotation of insect acetylcholinesterase can be helpful for the characterization of this important protein. Acetylcholinesterase of fourteen lepidopteran insect pest species was annotated by using different bioinformatics tools. AChE in all the species was hydrophilic and thermostable. All the species showed lower values for instability index except L. orbonalis, S. exigua and T. absoluta. Highest percentage of Arg, Asp, Asn, Gln and Cys were recorded in P. rapae. High percentage of Cys and Gln might be reason for insecticide resistance development in P. rapae. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the AChE in T. absoluta, L. orbonalis and S. exigua are closely related and emerged from same primary branch. Three functional motifs were predicted in eleven species while only two were found in L. orbonalis, S. exigua and T. absoluta. AChE in eleven species followed secretory pathway and have signal peptides. No signal peptides were predicted for S. exigua, L. orbonalis and T. absoluta and follow non secretory pathway. Arginine methylation and cysteine palmotylation was found in all species except S. exigua, L. orbonalis and T. absoluta. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor was predicted in only nine species. 相似文献

Capacity for NADPH regeneration in the leaves of two poplar genotypes differing in ozone sensitivity

Cell capacity for cytosolic NADPH regeneration by NADP‐dehydrogenases was investigated in the leaves of two hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × Populus nigra) genotypes in response to ozone (O3) treatment (120 ppb for 17 days). Two genotypes with differential O3 sensitivity were selected, based on visual symptoms and fallen leaves: Robusta (sensitive) and Carpaccio (tolerant). The estimated O3 flux (POD0), that entered the leaves, was similar for the two genotypes throughout the treatment. In response to that foliar O3 flux, CO2 assimilation was inhibited to the same extent for the two genotypes, which could be explained by a decrease in Rubisco (EC 4.1.1.39) activity. Conversely, an increase in PEPC (EC 4.1.1.31) activity was observed, together with the activation of certain cytosolic NADP‐dehydrogenases above their constitutive level, i.e. NADP‐G6PDH (EC 1.1.1.49), NADP‐ME (malic enzyme) (EC 1.1.1.40) and NADP‐ICDH (NADP‐isocitrate dehydrogenase) (EC1.1.1.42). However, the activity of non‐phosphorylating NADP‐GAPDH (EC 1.2.1.9) remained unchanged. From the 11th fumigation day, NADP‐G6PDH and NADP‐ME profiles made it possible to differentiate between the two genotypes, with a higher activity in Carpaccio than in Robusta. At the same time, Carpaccio was able to maintain high levels of NADPH in the cells, while NADPH levels decreased in Robusta O3‐treated leaves. All these results support the hypothesis that the capacity for cells to regenerate the reducing power, especially the cytosolic NADPH pool, contributes to improve tolerance to high ozone exposure. 相似文献

Two lentil (Lens culinaris) cultivars, Syrian Local
Large (SLL) and PANT-L-406 (PL), have been used to study the genetics of
the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO) and a related compound,
ciceritol, which is a galactosyl cyclitol. The RFO and ciceritol are the
major soluble -galactosides in lentil
seeds. Crosses were made between the two lentil lines and the patterns of
inheritance for the total -galactoside
content and for individual RFO compounds (raffinose, stachyose, verbascose)
and ciceritol were determined in the embryos and seed coats from single
seeds of the reciprocal F1s, the F2s and ten F3 families. The inheritance
patterns for each of the -galactosides were complex and much of
this complexity was attributed to an interaction between the embryo and its
surrounding testa. A clear-cut segregation pattern was observed for
verbascose. This was the result of PL embryos having very low, or no,
verbascose. The F2 embryos had a segregation ratio of 3 high to 1 low level
for this compound, suggesting that within this cross a low verbascose
content was determined by a single recessive gene. There was good evidence
from the F2 and F3 generations of a negative correlation between low levels
of verbascose and high levels of ciceritol, which suggests a metabolic link
between the RFO pathway and the pathway leading to ciceritol. The data are
discussed in terms of defining strategies for genetically manipulating
the-galactoside composition in lentil seeds, such that their
negative effects on nutrition may be overcome without reducing
significantly their positive role in abiotic stress
resistance. 相似文献

In soil biota, higher and enduring concentration of heavy metals like cadmium (Cd) is hazardous and associated
with great loss in growth, yield, and quality parameters of most of the crop plants. Recently, in-situ applications of
eco-friendly stabilizing agents in the form of organic modifications have been utilized to mitigate the adverse
effects of Cd-toxicity. This controlled experiment was laid down to appraise the imprints of various applied
organic amendments namely poultry manure (PM), farmyard manure (FYM), and sugarcane press mud (PS)
to immobilize Cd in polluted soil. Moreover, phytoavailability of Cd in wheat was also accessed under an alkaline
environment. Results revealed that the addition of FYM (5–10 ton ha-1
) in Cd-contaminated soil significantly
increased germination rate, leaf chlorophyll content, plant height, spike length, biological and grain yield amongst
all applied organic amendments. Moreover, the addition of FYM (5–10 ton ha-1
) also reduced the phytoavailability of Cd by 73–85% in the roots, 57–83% in the shoots, and 81–90% in grains of wheat crop. Thus, it is affirmed
that incorporation of FYM (5–10 ton ha-1
) performed better to enhance wheat growth and yield by remediating
Cd. Thus, the application of FYM (5–10 ton ha-1
) reduced the toxicity induced by Cd to plants by declining its
uptake and translocation as compared to all other applied organic amendments to immobilize Cd under sandy
alkaline polluted soil. 相似文献

This work aimed at investigating the potential modulatory effects and mechanisms of crocin against CCl4‐induced nephrotoxicity. Forty male rats were allocated for three weeks treatment with corn oil, CCl4, crocin, or crocin plus CCl4. Crocin effectively mitigated CCl4‐induced kidney injury as evidenced by amelioration of alterations in kidney histopathology, renal weight/100 g body weight ratio and kidney functions. Crocin modulated CCl4‐induced disturbance of kidney cytochrom‐P450 subfamily 2E1 and glutathione‐S‐transferase. The attenuation of crocin to kidney injury was also associated with suppression of oxidative stress via reduction of lipid peroxides along with induction of renal glutathione content and enhancement of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase activities. Crocin mitigated CCl4‐induced elevation of the renal levels of tumor necrosis factor‐alpha, interleukin‐6, prostaglandin E2, and active caspases‐3. Collectively, crocin alleviated CCl4‐induced renal damage via modulation of kidney metabolizing enzymes, suppression of oxidative stress, inhibition of inflammatory cytokines, PGE2, and active caspase3 in kidney. 相似文献
