Microbiomes are integral to viticulture and winemaking – collectively termed winegrowing where diverse fungi bacteria can exert positive negative effects on grape health wine quality. Wine is a fermented natural product, the vineyard serves as key point of entry for quality-modulating microbiota, particularly in fermentations that conducted without addition exogenous yeasts. Thus, sources persistence wine-relevant microbiota vineyards critically impact its Site-specific variations within between may contribute regional characteristics.

Discovery and identification of a novel yeast species, Hanseniaspora drosophilae sp. nov., from Drosophila in Okinawa, Japan

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 75(2)

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

Hanseniaspora , a genus of yeasts in which many species reproduce sexually, has attracted the attention researchers because its prevalence diverse ecological niches. Building on our extensive collection efforts since 2020, three previously unknown yeast strains from wild Drosophila trapped ripe bananas Okinawa, Japan, were isolated. Using multifaceted approach, including physiological assessments and sequence analysis D1/D2 domain 26S LSU rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, it was revealed that these are novel members . The strains, JCM 36741 T 36742 36748, had identical sequences their respective ITS regions, justifying classification as single species. Moreover, new exhibited remarkable degree divergence closest relatives, differing by 7 nucleotide substitutions (1.28%) domain, 29 4 gaps (4.08%) regions. These substantial differences highlight distinctiveness this Further characteristics distinguished relative, hatyaiensis (nom. inval.). findings culminated proposed name drosophilae sp. nov., recognizes unique niche within microbiota. By uncovering species, study not only adds to growing body knowledge diversity but also sheds light intricate relationships shape microbial communities. implications discovery extend beyond taxonomic boundaries, inviting further exploration evolutionary dynamics significance yeast–fly interactions. We propose accommodating H. nov. with holotype. MycoBank accession number is MB 853822.

Deciphering Plant-Insect-Microorganism Signals for Sustainable Crop Production

Biomolecules, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(6), С. 997 - 997

Опубликована: Июнь 15, 2023

Agricultural crop productivity relies on the application of chemical pesticides to reduce pest and pathogen damage. However, also pose a range ecological, environmental economic penalties. This includes development pesticide resistance by insect pests pathogens, rendering less effective. Alternative sustainable protection tools should therefore be considered. Semiochemicals are signalling molecules produced organisms, including plants, microbes, animals, which cause behavioural or developmental changes in receiving organisms. Manipulating semiochemicals could provide more approach management pathogens across crops. Here, we review role interaction between insects examples how they have been applied agricultural systems. We highlight future research priorities considered for credible alternatives pesticides.

Factors influencing oviposition behaviour of the invasive pest, Drosophila suzukii, derived from interactions with other Drosophila species: potential applications for control

Pest Management Science, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 79(11), С. 4132 - 4139

Опубликована: Июль 30, 2023

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) or spotted wing is a worldwide invasive pest of soft- and stone-fruit production. Female D. lay their eggs in ripening fruit the hatched larvae damage from inside, rendering it unmarketable causing significant economic loss. Current methods to reduce population field primarily rely on chemical insecticides which are not sustainable long-term solution increase risk resistance developing. Several studies demonstrate that when encounter coexist with other food source, this usually disadvantage suzukii, leading reduced oviposition increased larval mortality. These effects have potential be exploited management perspective. In review we summarise recent research articles focusing interspecific interactions between species aimed at understanding how drives behaviour. Potential semiochemical microbiome impacts postulated as determinants Development control practices reducing populations deterring them laying by utilising factors drive behaviour discussed. © 2023 The Authors.

Sugar-rich plant-related secretions, such as floral nectar and honeydew, that are commonly used nutrient sources by insects other animals, also the ecological niche for diverse microbial communities. Recent research has highlighted great potential of honeydew microbiomes in biological pest control improved pollination, but exploitation these requires a deep understanding their community dynamics plant-microbe-insect interactions. Additionally, successful application microbes crop fields is conditioned ecological, legal, ethical challenges should be taken into account. In this article we provide an overview discuss applications sustainable agricultural practices.

Behavioral manipulation of Drosophila suzukii for pest control: high attraction to yeast enhances insecticide efficacy when applied on leaves

Pest Management Science, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 78(3), С. 896 - 904

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2021

The invasive pest, Drosophila suzukii attacks fresh soft-skinned fruit. Broad-spectrum insecticides are implemented for control but there is a need to reduce environmental risks and insecticide residues on fruits. Hanseniaspora uvarum yeast frequently found ripe fruits associated with D. suzukii. We aim exploit the ecological association attraction of H. by developing an attract-and-kill strategy, spray-application canopy not therefore investigated attraction, egg-laying mortality when exposed insecticidal yeast-based formulations.Hanseniaspora strongly attracted applied leaves grapevine, Vitis vinifera. Notably, this attractiveness was competitive grape berries that were susceptible infestation. Moreover, adding enhanced efficacy formulations against Flies treated yeast-insecticide showed higher laid lower number eggs compared flies alone. In wind tunnel, all treatments containing alone or in combination insecticides, caused similar upwind flight landing at odor source, which provides evidence addition did yeast.Hanseniaspora can be used manipulate behavior attracting formulations. Yeast improves effectiveness, suggesting sprays covering only, could fruit without compromising management efficacy.

Attraction of Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) to selected gut microbiota supernatants: implications for pest control

Pest Management Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 10, 2025

Abstract BACKGROUND Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) is a distructive quarantine insect pest that causes significant economic losses on cucurbit crops. To explore green control approach, we investigated the behavioral responses of B. larvae and adults to bacterial suspensions, sediments, supernatants derived from eight gut microbial strains across four distinct genera. The proboscis extension response was used evaluate impact these strains. In addition, using food selection experiments, two‐choice trap methods, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, isolated identified predominant volatile compounds in microbiota supernatants. RESULTS Among tested strains, Kluyvera , Morganella Providencia exhibited notable attraction toward B . particular, supernatant M38 revealed most highly attractive effect larvae, whereas M72 adults. Primary components present were dimethyl disulfide, indole, 2‐nonone, phenethyl alcohol, 1‐decanol. CONCLUSION Strains displayed remarkable properties for adults, respectively, presenting promising potential developing novel attractant this species. © 2025 Society Chemical Industry.
