A REVIEW OF PLANT PROTECTION AGAINST THE OLIVE FLY (BACTROCERA OLEAE (ROSSI, 1790) GMELIN) AND MOLECULAR METHODS TO MONITOR THE INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE ALLELES

A review of plant protection against the olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) Gmelin) and molecular methods to monitor the insecticide resistance alleles

Olive fly (Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790) Gmelin) is one of the most important olive pests worldwide.Most plant protection measures are based on insecticides, especially organophosphates, pyrethroids, and recently a spinosad.Insecticides are used as cover sprays or in more environmentally friendly methods in which insecticides are used in combinati

Asymmetric gene introgression in two closely related Orchis species: evidence from morphometric and genetic analyses

Abstract Background In food-deceptive orchids of the genera Anacamptis, Neotinea and Orchis floral isolation has been shown to be weak, whereas late-acting reproductive barriers are mostly strong, often restricting hybridization to the F1 generation.Only in a few species hybridization extends beyond the F1 generation, giving rise to hybrid swarms.H
