Functions of mountain pine beetle cytochromes P450 CYP6DJ1, CYP6BW1 and CYP6BW3 in the oxidation of pine monoterpenes and diterpene resin acids

Chiu, Christine C., Keeling, Christopher I., Henderson, Hannah M., Bohlmann, Joerg
The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) is a forest insect pest that attacks several different pine (Pinus) species in its native range of distribution in western North America. MPB are exposed for most of their life cycle to the chemical defenses of their hosts. These defenses...

Lah, Ljerka, Wang, Ye, Breuil, Colette, Madilao, Lina, Bohlmann, Joerg, Lim, Lynette
To successfully colonize and eventually kill pine trees, Grosmannia clavigera (Gs cryptic species), the main fungal pathogen associated with the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae), has developed multiple mechanisms to overcome host tree chemical defenses, of which terpenoids are a...

Global and comparative proteomic profiling of overwintering and developing mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), larvae
Download2012
Keeling, Christopher I., Huber, Dezene P.W., Pitt, Caitlin, Fraser, Jordie D., Bohlmann, Jörg, Bonnett, Tiffany R., Robert, Jeanne A.
Background Mountain pine beetles, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are native to western North America, but have recently begun to expand their range across the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The requirement for larvae to withstand extremely cold winter temperatures and...

Sperling, Felix A. H., Murray, Brent W., Li, Yisu, Coltman, David W., Bohlmann, Joerg, Janes, Jasmine K., Cooke, Janice E. K., Boone, Celia K., Huber, Dezene P.W., Keeling, Christopher I., Yuen, Macaire M. S.
The mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins), a major pine forest pest native to western North America, has extended its range north and eastward during an ongoing outbreak. Determining how the MPB has expanded its range to breach putative barriers, whether physical...

Identification of genes and gene expression associated with dispersal capacity in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Download2021-07-01
Shegelski, Victor A., Evenden, Maya L., Huber, Dezene P. W., Sperling, Felix A. H.
Dispersal flights by the mountain pine beetle have allowed range expansion and major damage to pine stands in western Canada. We asked what the genetic and transcriptional basis of mountain pine beetle dispersal capacity is. Using flight mills, RNA-seq and a targeted association study, we...

Integrating the building blocks of agronomy and biocontrol into an IPM strategy for wheat stem sawfly

Beres, Brian L., Cárcamo, Héctor A., Weaver, David K., Dosdall, Lloyd M., Evenden, Maya L., Hill, Bernard D., McKenzie, Ross H., Yang, Rong-Cai, Spaner, Dean M.
The wheat stem sawfly(Cephus cinctus Norton [Hymenoptera: Cephidae]) is a serious threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other cereal grains in the northern Great Plains. Insecticides have proven ineffective for sawfly control and can be detrimental to beneficial insects. The management of...

Flight polyphenisms naturally occur as discrete or continuous traits in insects. Discrete flight polyphenisms include winged and wingless morphs, whereas continuous flight polyphenisms can take the form of short- or long-distance fliers. The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) exhibits...

Morphological variation associated with dispersal capacity in a treekilling bark beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins

Shegelski, Victor A., Evenden, Maya L., Sperling, Felix AH
Intrinsic factors influencing the dispersal of insect pests during outbreaks are poorly understood, yet these factors need to be quantified to parameterize dispersal in models that predict population spread. The present study related wing and body morphology of female mountain pine beetles...

The cytochrome P450 CYP6DE1 catalyzes the conversion of α-pinene into the mountain pine beetle aggregation pheromone trans-verbenol
Download2019-01-01
Chiu, Christine C., Keeling, Christopher I., Bohlmann, Joerg
The recent outbreak of the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae; MPB) has afected over 20M hectares of pine forests in western North America. During the colonization of host trees, female MPB release the aggregation pheromone (−)-trans-verbenol. (−)-trans-Verbenol is thought to...
