  1. 1. Microbes Associated with Hylobius abietis : A Chemical and Behavioral Study

    Författare :Muhammad Azeem; Anna Karin Borg-Karlson; Irena Valterová; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hylobius; Ewingella; Penicillium; Heterobasidion; Bacteria; Fungi; Bark; Forest waste; Metabolites; Styrene; Methyl salicylate.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on three inter-related studies: the first part deals with the microbial consortium, the identification of microbes and their volatiles, the second part deals with the study of bio-chemical control methods of two conifer pests; the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.) and the root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Chemical signals in interactions between Hylobius abietis and associated bacteria

    Författare :Karolin Axelsson; Jenny Lindh; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson; Gunaratna Kuttuva Rajarao; Benedicte Albrectsen; KTH; []

    Sammanfattning : The pine weevil (Hylobius abietis L.) is one of the two topmost economically important insect pests in Swedish conifer forests. The damage increase in areas were the silvicultural practice is to use clear cuttings were the insects gather and breed. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Isolation, Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships of Antifeedants against the Pine Weevil, Hylobius Abietis

    Författare :Carina Eriksson; Christina Moberg; John Pickett; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pine weevil; Hylobius abietis; semiochemicals; antifeedant; feeding deterrent; feeding stimulant; bark extract; carboxylic acid; piperidine alkaloids; structure-activity; cinnamic aldehyde; benzaldehyde; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis L., is a major insect pest on conifer seedlings in northern Europe. Due to its feeding newly planted trees get girdled, resulting in high seedling mortality (up to 80%). As a consequence great financial losses to the forest industry occur. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Effects of methyl jasmonate on chemical defenses of conifer seedlings in relation to feeding by Hylobius abietis

    Sammanfattning : The chemical elicitor methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could replace insecticides in Europe and Asia for protection of young conifers against the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). This thesis mainly focuses on the effects of MeJA treatment on chemical defenses of conifers from seedling batches with documented field resistance. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Syntheses of Allelochemicals for Insect Control

    Författare :Olof Smitt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :isoprenoids; natural product synthesis; allelochemicals; kairomones; allomones; bisabolane terpenoids; Hylobius abietis; germacrane terpenoids; Neodiprion sertifer; stereoselective synthesis;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the synthetic preparation of somecompounds, which can serve as chemical signals for use in thedevelopment of control methods for pest insects. The compoundssynthesised are of the isoprenoid type and of two kinds:carvone derivatives and germacranes. LÄS MER
