2. 1. Chemical signals in interactions between Hylobius abietis and associated bacteria

   Author : Karolin Axelsson; Jenny Lindh; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson; Gunaratna Kuttuva Rajarao; Benedicte Albrectsen; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pine weevil; Hylobius; Rahnella; Pseudomonas; bacteria; fungi; metabolites; 2-methoxyphenol; 2-phenylethanol; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) is one of the two topmost economically important insect pests in Swedish conifer forests. The damage increase in areas were the silvicultural practice is to use clear cuttings were the insects gather and breed. READ MORE

   Abstract : The chemical elicitor methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could replace insecticides in Europe and Asia for protection of young conifers against the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). This thesis mainly focuses on the effects of MeJA treatment on chemical defenses of conifers from seedling batches with documented field resistance. READ MORE

5. 3. Isolation, Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Antifeedants against the Pine Weevil, Hylobius Abietis

   Author : Carina Eriksson; Christina Moberg; John Pickett; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pine weevil; Hylobius abietis; semiochemicals; antifeedant; feeding deterrent; feeding stimulant; bark extract; carboxylic acid; piperidine alkaloids; structure-activity; cinnamic aldehyde; benzaldehyde; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

   Abstract : The large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis L., is a major insect pest on conifer seedlings in northern Europe. Due to its feeding newly planted trees get girdled, resulting in high seedling mortality (up to 80%). As a consequence great financial losses to the forest industry occur. READ MORE

6. 4. Olfactory genomics of bark- and ambrosia beetles : Evolution and function of chemoreceptors

   Author : Twinkle Biswas; Feromongruppen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Curculionidae; functional characterisation; odorant receptors ORs ; gustatory receptors; ionotropic receptors; orthologues; paralogues; olfactory sensory neurons; OR-ligand interaction;

   Abstract : Insect behaviours, such as host and mate selection, are often mediated by chemical cues. The chemical cuesare detected by large and rapidly evolving families of chemoreceptors which include odorant receptors (ORs),gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). READ MORE
