Diatraea
ITS2 as a molecular marker for the identification of Diatraea saccharalis and D. flavipennella and possible infection with Cotesia spp
Authors: M.S. Regueira Neto, R.P. Barros, M.A.J. Morais, V.Q. Balbino and V. Loreto
In Brazil, the species Diatraea flavipennella and D. saccharalis play an important role in the sugar and alcohol agribusiness by causing many damages in sugarcane fields. The egg, larva, pupa, and adult stages are very morphologically similar between these species, and the identification can be confused. The internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS 2) from ribo.. Read More»

Genetic diversity analysis with RAPD linked to sex identification in the sugar cane borer Diatraea saccharalis
Authors: C. Heideman, R.E.F. Munhoz, J.R. Pattaro J�ºnior and M.A. Fernandez
Diatraea saccharalis is an insect that causes considerable losses in the sugar cane crop. Our aim was to contribute to the knowledge of the biology of D. saccharalis, with the report of DNA fragments involved in the differentiation between the male and female of this species using the RAPD sex molecular marker GyakuU-13, which..

DNA barcode information for the sugar cane moth borer Diatraea saccharalis
Authors: J.P. Bravo, J.L.C. Silva, R.E.F. Munhoz and M.A. Fernandez
We reviewed the use and relevance of barcodes for insect studies and investigated the barcode sequence of Diatraea saccharalis. This sequence has a high level of homology (99%) with the barcode sequence of the Crambidae (Lepidoptera). The sequence data can be used to construct relationships between species, allowing a multidis.. Read More»

Effect of parasitism of Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) larvae by the wasp Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in defense reactions against abiotic agents: production and encapsulation reaction
Authors: C.C.C. Nunes and T.L. Silva
This study aimed to determine prophenoloxidase (proPO) activation and nitric oxide (NO) production in the hemolymph of Diatraea saccharalis larvae non-parasitized and parasitized by the wasp Cotesia flavipes and/or inoculated with abiotic agent (Sephadex beads), during parasitism/inoculation, and related to larval age; the ultrastructure of the capsule fo..
