Sobre o condicionamento alimentar na cochonilha-branca, Planococcus citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: pseudococcidae)

Abstract: RESUMO -Estudos do comportamento alimentar mediante a técnica de "Electrical Penetration Graphs" (EPG) das cochonilhas-farinhentas (Pseudococcidae) provenientes de um hospedeiro de criação alternativo têm mostrado que esses insetos não atingem ou demoram cerca de 9 horas para alcançar a fase floemática. Por outro lado, aqueles provenientes do hospedeiro-fonte atingem a fase floemática mais rapidamente e apresentam maior frequência de alimentação nos vasos crivados. Esses resultados indicam a presença do fenôme… Show more

“…However, with application of calcium silicate in the soil, it was already observed in coffee that the mealybug, P. citri, reached the phloem feeding place without problems, indicating that in this study, no mechanical barrier was performed to avoid the penetration of the buccal stylets [31].…”

“…This osmotic gradient results from sap loading in the source and unloading in the sink. Being considered as sinks, fruits receive more nutrients that the other plant parts and this fact is directly related with the attraction of mealybugs (Santa-Cecília et al, 2013;Taiz and Zeiger, 2017). Roots and trunk are more resistant structures than leaves and fruits.…”

“…Roots and trunk are more resistant structures than leaves and fruits. Due to the external physical structure of fruits which are less thick compared to the other plant parts, mealybugs tend to preferably feed on fruits, once their mouthparts penetrate easily in fruit tissues for feeding (Santa-Cecília et al, 2013;Snodgrass, 1935). Due to the preference of Pseudococcidae for fruits, they are more harmful for fruit crops.…”

“…Female Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) preferred ovipositing on foliage of the same grape cultivar experienced by the larvae (Moreau et al 2008). More recently, Santa-Cecília et al (2013) reported that, although there is no pre-imaginal conditioning in Planococcus citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), individuals of this species showed initial preference to the host for which they had prior experience. Given the variable results on insect learning across species, the performance of more studies to investigate the influence of insect learning on feeding preference among plant genotypes will significantly contribute to the HPR and insect-plant biology research fields.…”
