Genome size estimation with quantitative real-time PCR in two Tephritidae species: Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera oleae
Tsoumani, K. T.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2012)The medfly Ceratitis capitata and the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae belong to the Tephritidae family of Diptera, a family whose members cause severe damages in agriculture worldwide. For such insect pests, the utmost ... -
Isolation, annotation and applications of expressed sequence tags from the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae
Tsoumani, K. T.; Augustinos, A. A.; Kakani, E. G.; Drosopoulou, E.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2011)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the major pest of the olive tree. Despite its importance, very little genetic and molecular knowledge is available. The present study is a first attempt to identify and characterize ... -
The molecular biology of the olive fly comes of age
Sagri, E.; Reczko, M.; Tsoumani, K. T.; Gregoriou, M. E.; Harokopos, V.; Mavridou, A. M.; Tastsoglou, S.; Athanasiadis, K.; Ragoussis, J.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2014)Background: Olive cultivation blends with the history of the Mediterranean countries since ancient times. Even today, activities around the olive tree constitute major engagements of several people in the countryside of ... -
Molecular Characterization and Chromosomal Distribution of a Species-Specific Transcribed Centromeric Satellite Repeat from the Olive Fruit Fly, Bactrocera oleae
Tsoumani, K. T.; Drosopoulou, E.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2013)Satellite repetitive sequences that accumulate in the heterochromatin consist a large fraction of a genome and due to their properties are suggested to be implicated in centromere function. Current knowledge of heterochromatic ... -
Olive fly transcriptomics analysis implicates energy metabolism genes in spinosad resistance
Sagri, E.; Reczko, M.; Gregoriou, M. E.; Tsoumani, K. T.; Zygouridis, N. E.; Salpea, K. D.; Zalom, F. G.; Ragoussis, J.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2014)Background: The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the most devastating pest of cultivated olives. Its control has been traditionally based on insecticides, mainly organophosphates and pyrethroids. In recent years, the ... -
Spinosad resistance development in wild olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) populations in California
Kakani, E. G.; Zygouridis, N. E.; Tsoumani, K. T.; Seraphides, N.; Zalom, F. G.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2010)BACKGROUND: Among target pests of the insecticide spinosad is the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera:Tephritidae). In Cyprus, spinosad has been sporadically used since its registration in 2002, whereas in ...
