Research project aims
Need of an interdisciplinary approach: CHEMICAL ECOLOGY
• Employing chemical, electrophysiological, and behavioural analyses
Irene Castellan - UniBz - PhD Network Insect Science 4
Provide a comprehensive portrait of the olfactory
interactions between yeasts and D. suzukii
VOCs

VOCs
Why targeting yeasts?
• Test their effects on SWD – known to be interacting with Drosophila species
• Flies recognize yeasts based on the rich repertoire of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Yeast volatiles extraction and analysis
• Chemically analyse the VOC profile of each yeast strain
• Headspace analysis: static or dynamic techniques
• Expected outcome: reveal quantitative and qualitative differences among strains

Coupled gas chromatography-electrophysiology
• Isolate and identify the physiologically active constituents from yeast VOCs that potentially define attraction\repulsion to D. suzukii
• D. suzukii antennae bear olfactory sensilla: electrophysical responses indicate that are used in chemoreception or gustation
Irene Castellan - UniBz - PhD Network Insect Science 7
In EAG wemeasure the sum of all sensillaresponses of the antenna

Expected outcomes
Irene Castellan - UniBz - PhD Network Insect Science 10
• Select an attractive yeast bait to target D. suzukii on a selected surface
• Identify a phagostimulant component: keep the insecton the chosen surface
• Define an insecticide additional component to integrate the attractive system
• Develop an ideal method to apply in the open field: environmentally friendly formulation
Evaluate the field performance of attract & kill systemand optimize it.
