Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the genes involved in odorant reception and detection in the palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, an important quarantine pest, by antennal transcriptome analysis.

TL;DR: This study presents the first comprehensive catalogue of olfactory gene families involved in pheromone and general odorant detection in R. ferrugineus, which are potential novel targets for pest control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silencing the Olfactory Co-Receptor RferOrco Reduces the Response to Pheromones in the Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

TL;DR: Results suggest that olfactory-system disruption leading to reduced pheromone detection holds great potential for RPW pest-control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global transcriptome profiling and functional analysis reveal that tissue-specific constitutive overexpression of cytochrome P450s confers tolerance to imidacloprid in palm weevils in date palm fields

TL;DR: This study focused on the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, and demonstrated through functional analysis that upregulation of P450 gene expression has evolved as an adaptation to insecticide stress arising from exposure to the neonicotinoid-class systematic insecticide imidacloprid.
Journal Article

Antifeedant activity of three essential oils against the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

TL;DR: Three essential oils from flowers and leaves of crofton weed, E. adenophorum flowers and aerial parts of A. nilagirica, have potential as environment-friendly alternative method for management of the RPW and one of these EOs was not found effective as antifeedant.
Journal Article

Impact of Mating Frequency on Fecundity, Fertility and Longevity of Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curuclionidae)

TL;DR: The unmated and mated female groups showed no significant differences in oviposition and post-ovipositional period and also there was very little difference in male and female adult longevity.
