| description | The swede midge, Contarinia nasturtii, is a serious gall-forming insect pest of most cultivated Brassicaceae such as cauliflower and cabbage. Arabidopsis thaliana, also a Brassicaceae, is a well-known model plant for which the genome is sequenced and several well-characterized mutants and transgenic genotypes are available. Previous results indicate that odours from cauliflower attract C. nasturtii. In this study the responses of C. nasturtii to volatiles from cauliflower and Arabidopsis were tested in a four-arm and a y-tube olfactometer. The results indicate that females are attracted to volatiles both from cauliflower and Arabidopsis. Males on the other hand were not attracted. This study also suggests improvements for the y-tube as well as a four-arm olfactometer setup. |

Arabidopsis thaliana, also a Brassicaceae, is a well-known model plant for which the genome is sequenced and several well-characterized mutants and transgenic genotypes are available.

Kålgallmyggan, Contarinia nasturtii, är en skadegörare på flertalet odlade grödor tillhörande familjen Brassicaceae så som blomkål, vitkål och broccoli. Arabidopsis thaliana, som också tillhör denna familj, är en viktig modellväxt eftersom dess genom helt är kartlagt och att en mängd väldokumenterade mutationer och transgena genotyper finns tillgängliga. Tidigare studier har indikerat att C. nasturtii är attraherad av doft från blomkål. I det här arbetet undersöker vi, med hjälp av en fyr-arms olfaktometer och en yrörs olfaktometer, om C. nasturtii är attraherad av flyktiga ämnen från blomkål och Arabidopsis. Resultaten från detta arbete pekar på att honor attraheras av doft från båda dessa växter. Hannarna attraherades däremot inte. Detta arbete föreslår också modifikationer och förbättringar för y-rörs samt fyr-arms olfaktometrarna. 2008-03-17 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/12959/1/albertsson_j_171117.pdf Albertsson, Johannes, 2008.
