Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

2. PLANT BREEDING FOR INSECT RESISTANCE
• Insects are important causal factors of biotic stress in crop plants.
• Insects attack all the crop plants and lead to considerable losses in yield as well as
quality.
• Insect attack leads to various types of damages.
• In crop plants such as:-
• 1) Reduction in plant growth or stunting,
• 2) Damage of vegetative and reproductive parts,
• 3) Premature defoliation, and
• 4) Wilting of plants.
3. • Insect cause 14% estimated yield loss of all important crops on global bases. Insect
cause yield loss directly either by sucking cell sap or by eating away various plant
parts.
• Insects also cause yield loss through transmission of various diseases.
• There are two important methods of insect control, viz
• 1) biological method
• 2) chemical method.
• In biological method, insects are controlled in three ways, viz,
• 1) by the use of predators and parasites of insect pests.
• 2) by using botanical pesticides such as neem, Datura, Ipomea in the form of leaf
extracts, and
• 3) use of resistant varieties.
• Biological method is cheap and does not have any adverse effect on the
ecosystem, through lesser effective than chemical method of insect control.
• The chemical method includes use of various chemical, insecticides.
4. • Disadvantages:-
• It increases cost of cultivation, reduces population of predators and parasites
of insect pests, leads to environmental pollution and development of
pesticides resistant biotypes of insects.
• Thus genetic resistance is the cheapest and the best method of insect control
in crop plants.
• Genetic resistance refers to the ability of some genotypes to give higher yields
of good quality than susceptible varieties at the same initial level of insect
attack under similar environmental conditions.
• Thus resistance is defined in relation to susceptible varieties. This chapter
deals with breeding for resistance to insect pests and parasitic weeds

6. Mechanisms of Insect Resistance:
There are four mechanisms of insect resistance, viz
1) no preference
2) antibiotics,
3) tolerance, and
4) avoidance or escape.
The first three mechanisms were given by Painter (1951) and
the fourth one was added subsequently.
A resistant variety may have one, two or more of these
mechanisms.
7. 1. Non – preference:
Non preference refers to various features of host plant that make the host undesirable for
unattractive to insects for food, shelter, or reproduction.
This type of insect resistance is also known as non acceptance and antixenosis.
Non acceptance appears to be more accurate term, because in most known examples of this type
of resistance, insects will not accept a resistant host plant even if there is no alternative source of
food.
Various plant character which are associated with non preference include colour, light
penetration, hairiness, leaf angle, odour and taste. For example, in cotton red plant body, smooth
leaves, okra, leaf, open canopy, nectarilessness, fregobract, thickness and hardness of boll rind
and long pedicel are examples of non preference to bollworms, and hairiness of leaf and stem is
non preference for jassids.
In pea, yellow green genotypes are less preferred by pea aphid than blue green genotypes.
In soybean, hairy genotypes are less preferred by potato is related to odour. In maize and
sorghum resistance to grass hoppers appears to be related to differences in taste.
Non preference involves various morphological and chemical features of host plants.
The degree of non preference varies from species to species.
In some cases, non preference is so strong that insects migrated from resistant plants, for
example aphid resistance in raspberry. In other cases, insects do not walk away from resistant
plant aphid resistance in Sugarbeet.
10. 2. Antibiosis:
Antibiosis refers to the adverse effect of host plant on the development and
reproduction of insect pests which feed on resistant plant. Resistant plants retard the
growth and rate of reproduction of insect pest. In some cases, antibiotics may lead
even to death of an insect. An antibiotic is considered as the true form of resistance to
insect pests. In cotton, antibiotics is related with high level of gossypol, tannins ,
heliocides and silica contents, antibiotics may involve morphological , physiological
and biochemical features of the host plant.
12. 3. Tolerance:
Tolerance refers to the ability of a
variety to produce greater yield than
susceptible variety at the same level of
insect attack. In other words, a
tolerant variety will give higher yield
than susceptible one despite the
insect attack. The tolerance is
measured in terms of rejuvenation
potential, healthy leaf growth,
flowering compensation potential and
superior plant vigour. Hybrid cottons,
by virtue of their very high potential ,
show tolerance to insect pest. Tolerant
cultivars have greater recovery of
damaged parts than susceptible ones.
13. 4. Avoidance of Escape:
Avoidance refers to escape of a variety from insect attack either due to
earliness or its cultivation in the season where insect population is very
low. For example, early maturing cotton varieties escape pink bollworm
infestation which occurs late in the season. Avoidance is also an
effective means of protecting crop from the damage of insect pests.
14. Nature of Insect Resistance / Factors for insect -resistance
Insect resistance may involve :
1. Morphological
2. Physiological (or)
3. Biochemical features of the host plant
1. Morphological features :
Morphological factors like, hairiness, colour, thickness and toughness of tissues etc. are
known to confer insect resistance.
a) Hairiness of leaves is associated with resistance to many insect pests leaf beetle in
cereals, in cotton to Jassids , in turnip to turnip aphid.
b) Colour of plant : Color may contribute to non preference in some cases.
For example : Red cabbage, Red leaved brussel’s sprouts are less favored than green varieties
by butterflies and certain Lepidoptera for oviposit ion. Boll worms prefer green cotton plants
to red ones.
c) Thickness and Toughness of plant – Tissues prevent mechanical obstruction to feeding and
oviposition and thereby lead to non-preference as well as antibiosis
15. 2. Physiological Factors : Osmotic concentration of cell sap, various exudates etc; may be associated with
insect resistance. Eg.
1) Leaf hairs of some solanum sps. secrete gummy exudates. Aphids and coloradobeetles get trapped in
these exudates.
2) Exudates from secondary trichomes of Medicago disciformis leaves have antibiotic effects on alfalfa
weevil.
3) Cotton- High osmotic concentration of cell sap is associated with Jassid resistance
Leaf hairs of some solanum Exudates from secondary trichomes
16. 3. Biochemical Factors : Several biochemical factors are associated with insect
resistance in many crops. It is believed that biochemical factors are more important
than morphological and physiological factors in conferring non-preference and
antibiosis.
Eg.
1) High concentrations of gossypol is associated with resistance in several insect
pests in cotton.
2) In rice – high silica content in shoots gives resistance to shoot borer
17. Genetics of Insect Resistance
Insect resistance is governed by -
1. Oligogenes 2. Polygenes 3. Cytoplasmic genes
1. Oligogenic Resistance : Insect resistance is governed by one or few major genes or
oligogenes, each gene having a large and identifiable individual effect on resistance.
Oligogenic resistance may be conditioned by the dominant or the recessive allele of the
concerned gene. The differences between resistant and susceptible plants are generally
large and clear-cut. In several cases, resistance is governed by a single gene (monogenic
resistance)
Eg. In wheat to green bugs In cotton to Jassids
In apple to woolly aphis In rice to plant & leaf hopper
2. Polygenic Resistance : It is governed by several genes, each gene producing a small and
usually cumulative effect. Such cases of resistance.
1) Involve more than one feature of the host plant
2) Are much more durable than the cases of oligogenic resistance.
3) Difference between resistance & susceptible plants are not clear cut
4) Transfer of resistance is much more difficult
Examples for polygenic resistance
1) In wheat to cereal leaf beetle2) In alfalfa to spotted aphid
3) In rice to stem borer
4) In maize to ear worm and leaf aphid
Evolution of resistance breaking biotypes is almost rare
18. Sources of Insect Resistance
1. A cultivated variety 3. A related wild species
2. Germplasm collections. 4. An unrelated organisms
1. Cultivated variety : Resistance to many insect pests may be found among the cultivated
varieties of the concerned crop.
Varieties SRT 1, Khand waz ; DNJ 286 and B 1007 of G. hirsuturn are good sources of
resistance to Jassids.
2. Germplasm collection :
Eg.
1) In apples for rosy apple aphid, green apple, apple maker and apple saw-fly.
2) In cotton, several strains resistant to Jassids.
3. Related wild species :
Eg.
1) Resistance to both the species of potato nematodes has been transferred fro
Solanum vernei to potato
2) Jassid resistances is known in wild relatives of cotton G. tomentosum;
G.anomalum and G.armourianum
4. An unrelated organism : It is done through recombinant DNA technology
a) T he ‘Cry’ gene of Bacillus thuringiensis is the most successful example.
Other genes of importance are the
b) Protease inhibitor encoding genes found in many plants eg. the cowpea pea, trypsin
inhibitor (cp TI) gene
19. Breeding Methods for Insect Resistance
1. Introduction 2. Selection
3. Hybridization 4. Genetic Engineering
1. Introduction :Eg. Phylloxera vertifoliae resistance grape root-stocks from U.S.A. into france.
2. Selection :
Eg.1) Resistance to potato leaf hopper
2) Resistance to spotted alfalfa aphid
141
3. Hybridization : P edigree oligogenic characters
Back cross Polygenic characters
4. Genetic Engineering : B.theningiensis (cry gene) resistance in maize, soybean, cotton etc.
Screening Techniques for determining resistance
The most crucial and, perhaps , the most difficult task in breeding for insect resistance is the
identification of insect resistant plant during segregation generations
20. There are two types of screeings
1. Field Screening 2. Glass house screening
Field Screening :
The techniques designed to promote uniform infestation by an insect pest in the field are
1. Inter planting a row of known susceptible variety between two rows of testing material.
2. Screening in highly prone areas
3. in case Soil insect pests to be tested in sick plots only
4. Testing in a particular season when the infestation is very high.
Eg. Rice stem borer in off season.
5. Transferring manually equal number of eggs or larvae to each test plantGlass house screening
Result from glass house tests are much more reliable than those from field tests since
both the environment and the initial level of infestations are more or less uniform for all the
plants being tested.
21. Problems in Breeding for Insect Resistance :
1. Breeding for resistance to are insect pest may leads to the susceptibility
to another pest.
Eg. Glabrous strains of cotton are resistant to bollworms but susceptible to
Jassids.
2. Reduction is quality or make unfit for consumption.
3. Linkage between desirable & undesirable genes. Inter specific varieties
are generally low
yielding and their produce is often of inferior quality.
4. Screening for resistance is the most critical and difficult step is a
breeding programme it
necessitates a close co-ordination among scientists belonging to different
disciplines.
5. It is a long term programme
22. Practical Achievements in Insect Resistance Breeding
Insect resistant varieties have been developed in many crops. Phylloxera resistant varieties of grapes have
been developed in France though the use of resistant root stocks introduced from U.S.A. In USA, Hessain
fly and stem sawfly were the serious insect pests of wheat. More than 23 Hessain varieties have been
developed. These varieties are successfully grown in Hessian fly prone areas of USA. Stem sawfly resistant
variety ‘Rescue’ with solid stem was released from Canada in 1946. this variety is successfully grown in
stem sawfly , prone areas in USA and Canada. In Maize, resistant varieties to rust have been released and
maize rust is no longer a serious disease in U.S.A. a barley variety ‘Will’ resistant to green bugs has been
developed in USA. Cultivation of this variety has reduced the population of greenhouse to 50%. Alfalfa
varieties ‘Cody’, Mopa and Zia, developed in USA, are resistant to spotted alfalfa aphid. Oat variety, ‘Greta’
developed in Belgium is resistant to stem eelworm.In cotton varieties, B-1007, SRT1, Khandwa2, DHY 286,
PKV 091, evolved in India are resistant to Jassids. These varieties are successfully grown in Central India.
Cotton varieties, Kanchana, Supriya, and LK861 are tolerant to whitefly. Insect resistant varieties have been
developed in many other crops. For example, in raspberry to aphid, in lettuce to root aphid, in apple to
wolly apple aphid, in grape to Phylloxera , etc.
