Evaluation of synthetic oviposition stimulants to enhance egg collection of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) (2017)
Journal Article
Kempraj, V., Aurade, R., Kamala Jayanthi, P., & Bruce, T. (2017). Evaluation of synthetic oviposition stimulants to enhance egg collection of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae). Journal of Pest Science, 781 -786. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10340-017-0845-0Tephritid flies are pests of horticultural importance throughout the globe. The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is particularly feared because it attacks many commercial fruits and vegetables causing huge economic losses. The steril...

Development of high-throughput methods to screen disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 in oilseed rape (2017)
Journal Article
Bruce, T., Ray, R., Drizou, F., & Graham, N. (2017). Development of high-throughput methods to screen disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 in oilseed rape. Plant Methods, 45 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-017-0195-1BACKGROUND: Rhizoctonia solani (Kühn) is a soil-borne, necrotrophic fungus causing damping off, root rot and stem canker in many cultivated plants worldwide. Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is the primary host for anastomosis group (AG) 2-1 of R....

Cucumber mosaic virus and its 2b protein alter emission of host volatile organic compounds but not aphid vector settling in tobacco. (2017)
Journal Article
Tungadi, T., Groen, S., Murphy, A., Pate, A., Iqbal, J., Bruce, T., …Carr, J. (2017). Cucumber mosaic virus and its 2b protein alter emission of host volatile organic compounds but not aphid vector settling in tobacco. Virology Journal, 14, Article 91. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-017-0754-0BACKGROUND: Aphids, including the generalist herbivore Myzus persicae, transmit cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). CMV (strain Fny) infection affects M. persicae feeding behavior and performance on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Arabidopsis thaliana and cucu...

A maize landrace that emits defense volatiles in response to herbivore eggs possesses a strongly inducible terpene synthase gene. (2017)
Journal Article

A maize landrace that emits defense volatiles in response to herbivore eggs possesses a strongly inducible terpene synthase gene. Ecology and Evolution, 2835 - 2845. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2893Maize (Zea mays) emits volatile terpenes in response to insect feeding and egg deposition to defend itself against harmful pests. However, maize cultivars differ strongly in their ability to produce the defense signal. To further understand the agroe...

TPS46, a Rice Terpene Synthase Conferring Natural Resistance to Bird Cherry-Oat Aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus). (2017)
Journal Article
Sun, Y., Huang, X., Ning, Y., Jing, W., Bruce, T., Qi, F., …Guo, Y. (2017). TPS46, a Rice Terpene Synthase Conferring Natural Resistance to Bird Cherry-Oat Aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus). Frontiers in Plant Science, 110 - ?. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2017.00110Plant terpene synthases (TPSs) are key enzymes responsible for terpene biosynthesis, and can play important roles in defense against herbivore attack. In rice, the protein sequence of TPS46 was most closely related to maize TPS10. However, unlike mai...
