Characterization of Hessian fly from Israel
<p>Mayetiola destructor Say, the Hessian fly, is a gall midge and a member of the Dipteran family Cecidomyiidae. It is a common pest of wheat found throughout all of the major wheat growing areas of the world and poses a serious economic threat to the United States (US), particularly in the …

DISCOVERY AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSES OF HESSIAN FLY EFFECTOR-ENCODING GENES
The Hessian fly - wheat system is a well-known model of gene-for-gene interac- tion between host plants and parasitic insects. The Hessian fly uses secreted effector proteins to control susceptible host plant physiology, transforming the plant cells in a nutritive tissue to support the developing …

Examining Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) management concepts and quantifying the physiological impact of hessian fly feeding on post-vernalization selected cultivars of winter wheat in Kansas
The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), has been a historically significant pest of wheat in Kansas. However, it has been 60+ years since research has been conducted examining the flies’ activity throughout the year. Results of pheromone trapping in 4 counties in Kansas shows that Hessian fly …

Identification of quantitative trait loci, candidate genes and diagnostic markers for Hessian fly resistance in wheat
Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is a destructive insect pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars is the most effective approach for HF management. Although over 50 HF resistance (H) genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been reported, only a …

Molecular approaches to increasing resistance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) towards two insect pests; Cereal aphid (Sitobion avenae F.) and Wheat bulb fly (Delia coarctata Fallen).
Cereal aphid (Sitobion avenae) and wheat bulb fly (Delia coarctata) are serious pests of wheat in the UK. At the present, chemical pesticides are used to control these insects, but they are limited in effectiveness, and have undersirable ecological impacts. There is a need to improve wheat …
