TL;DR: From both field and laboratory studies, there was no evidence of susceptibility during the estimated ripe period, and laboratory choice tests identified that several fall-ripening alternative hosts were more susceptible than ‘Pinot noir’ or ‘ Pinot gris’ wine grapes.
Abstract: Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a pest of small fruits and cherries, and has also been noted to infest a variety of wild, ornamental, and uncultivated hosts. Identify- ing alternative hosts is critical for pest management. Research objectives were to: 1) survey fruits in the field for natural infestation of D. suzukii, 2) determine the susceptibility of fruits in laboratory no-choice studies, and 3) evaluate short-range preference between simultaneously ripe alternative hosts and culti- vated fruits in laboratory choice studies. Field surveys identified new hosts or confirmed previously re- ported hosts including: Berberis aquifolium Pursh, Oregon grape; Cornus spp., dogwood; Cotoneaster lacteus W.W. Smith, milkflower cotoneaster; Elaeagnus umbellata Thunberg, Autumn olive; Frangula purshiana (de Candolle) A. Gray, cascara buckthorn; Lindera benzoin (L.) Blume, spicebush; Lonicera caerulea L., blue honeysuckle; Morus sp., mulberry; Phytolacca americana L., pokeweed; Prunus avium (L.) L., wild cherry;Prunus laurocerasus L., cherry laurel;Prunus lusitanica L., Portuguese laurel;Rubus armeniacus Focke, Himalaya blackberry; Rubus spectabilis Pursh, salmonberry; Sambucus nigra L., black elderberry; Sarcococca confusa Sealy, sweet box; Solanum dulcamara L., bittersweet nightshade; andSymphoricarpos albus (L.) S.F. Blake, snowberry. High fruit infestations were observed in S. confusa during April-May and Lonicera spp. in June before most commercial fruits ripen. From both field and laboratory studies, there was no evidence of susceptibility during the estimated ripe period Crataegus L. 'Autumn Glory,' hawthorn; Ilex crenata Thunberg, Japanese holly; Nandina domestica Thunberg, sacred bamboo; Rhaphiolepis umbellata (Thunberg) Makino, yeddo hawthorne; Rosa acicularis Lindley, prickly rose; Skimmia japonica Thunberg, Japanese skimmia; and Viburnum davidii Franchet, David's vibur- num. Lastly, laboratory choice tests identified that several fall-ripening alternative hosts were more sus- ceptible than 'Pinot noir' or 'Pinot gris' wine grapes. By understanding host use, growers can identify high-risk areas where coordinated action may reduce infestation ofD. suzukii in crops.
TL;DR: The aims of this investigation were to quantify the growth response and any injury symptom of 12 widely cultivated ornamental shrubs to irrigation with saline water and to investigate any possible relation with the concentration of Na(+) and Cl(-) in the plants.
TL;DR: During the establishment of micropropagation, one genotype of Cotoneaster lacteus showed the development of endogenous bacterial contaminants and rooting enhancing capacity appeared to be related to indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) production, as only strains which produced IAA promoted rooting.
Abstract: C. MONIER, E. BOSSIS, C. CHABANET AND R. SAMSON. 1998. Cotoneaster species are widely used ornamental shrubs, and research is under way to select genotypes which are more resistant to fire blight by somaclonal variation. During the establishment of micropropagation, one genotype, Cotoneaster lacteus, showed the development of endogenous bacterial contaminants. Two strains were isolated from in vitro explants: Bacillus pumilus and Alcaligenes faecalis. These two strains, and some Pseudomonas fluorescens and Ps. putida, promoted in vitro multiplication and rooting of explants. In Pseudomonas strains, rooting enhancing capacity appeared to be related to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, as only strains which produced IAA promoted rooting. Moreover, all deleterious strains included in the study for in vitro culture produce cyanide, unlike the above mentioned strains. As to endogenous contaminants, micropropagation enhancing capacity may be attributed to a direct or indirect action on endogenous auxin concentration.
