Electrophysiological Response of Dysdercus cingulatus (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) to Cotton Plant Extracts and Other Host Related Compounds

Electrophysiological Response of Dysdercus cingulatus (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) to... Electroantennogram response from antennae of male and female, Dysdercus cingulatus (Fabricius) a cotton pest was recorded against hexane extracts of cotton plant (leaves, squares and bolls) as well as with identified synthetic volatile compounds. Different volatile compounds were identified from cotton plant part by gas chromatography–Mass spectrometer techniques. The males and females of D. cingulatus showed its characteristic EAG response to cotton extracts and to fifteen other synthetic (docosane, pentacosane, tetracontane, tricosane, hexatricontane, hexacosane, octatricontane, heneicosane, triacontane, hentriacontane, octadecane, dotriacontane, tetracosane, octacosanoic acid, eiocosanic acid) compounds. Statistically significant differences in EAG response were observed between both sexes. The responses were found to be dose-depended and maximum peak amplitude were recorded by heneicosane, hentriacontane, tricosane and hexatricontane. In female, the largest peak amplitudes were obtained from heneicosane, hentriacontane, tricosane and octatricontane, whereas heneicosane, triacontane, and octatricontane were found to evoke significantly different responses among males.

Abstract

Electroantennogram response from antennae of male and female, Dysdercus cingulatus (Fabricius) a cotton pest was recorded against hexane extracts of cotton plant (leaves, squares and bolls) as well as with identified synthetic volatile compounds. Different volatile compounds were identified from cotton plant part by gas chromatography–Mass spectrometer techniques. The males and females of D. cingulatus showed its characteristic EAG response to cotton extracts and to fifteen other synthetic (docosane, pentacosane, tetracontane, tricosane, hexatricontane, hexacosane, octatricontane, heneicosane, triacontane, hentriacontane, octadecane, dotriacontane, tetracosane, octacosanoic acid, eiocosanic acid) compounds. Statistically significant differences in EAG response were observed between both sexes. The responses were found to be dose-depended and maximum peak amplitude were recorded by heneicosane, hentriacontane, tricosane and hexatricontane. In female, the largest peak amplitudes were obtained from heneicosane, hentriacontane, tricosane and octatricontane, whereas heneicosane, triacontane, and octatricontane were found to evoke significantly different responses among males. Electroantennogram study of D. cingulatus has manifested the differential sensitivity of antennal receptors to these compounds.
