AB  - Kiselo drvo, Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, je listopadna vrsta autohtona u Kini,
uneta kao ukrasna biljka u Severnu Ameriku i Evropu gde postaje invazivna i predstavlja
ozbiljnu pretnju u narušavanju ekosistema. Eriofidne grinje, poznate po visokoj specifičnosti i
po negativnom uticaju na biljke domaćine, mogu imati veliki potencijal kao agensi za biološku
kontrolu invazivnih biljaka. Na kiselom drvetu u Evropi registrovane su eriofidne grinje koje
dovode do uvijanja, deformisanja, žućenja i preranog opadanja lišća, ali su primećeni i
simptomi nekroze apikalnih delova stabljike.
Predmet ovog rada je prikaz rezultata istraživanja eriofidnih grinja kao potencijalnih
agenasa za biološku kontrolu kiselog drveta. Kako bi se utvrdilo da li je neki agens pogodan za
biološku kontrolu nephodna je njegova pouzdana identifikacija, testiranje specifičnosti prema
biljci domaćinu kao i utvrđivanje uticaja na ciljanu biljku.
Na A. altissima su bile poznate četiri vrste eriofida: Aculops ailanthi Lin, Jin & Kuang
1997, Aculops taihangensis Hong & Xue 2005, Aculus altissimae Xue & Hong 2005, opisane u
Kini, i Aculus mosoniensis Ripka 2014, opisana sa kiselog drveta iz Mađarske. Vrste Ac. ailanthi
i A. mosoniensis su jedine koje su registrovane izvan nativnog područja biljke domaćina: Ac.
ailanthi je registrovana u SAD-u, a A. mosoniensis u više evropskih zemalja. Na osnovu
morfoloških analiza A. taihangensis je preimenovan u rod Aculus (De Lillo et al., 2022).
Analizirani su filogenetski odnosi između kineskih populacija A. taihangensis i evropskih A.
mosoniensis korišćenjem COI i ITS1 regiona i utvrđeno je da je A. mosoniensis junior sinonim
od A. taihangensis, tako da se sada sa sigurnošću može tvrditi da je A. taihangensis jedina vrsta
registrovana u 14 evropskih zemalja.
Tokom tri godine istraživanja urađeni su testovi specifičnosti prema biljci domaćinu.
Testirano je 17 biljaka iz 7 familija reda Sapindales Bercht. & J. Presl. Izabrane su vrste iz
familija srodnih familiji Simaroubaceae kojoj pripada A. altissima. Rezultati ovih testiranja su
pokazali da se nakon dva meseca od početka testa (inokulacije biljaka sa eriofidama) juvenilni
stadijumi A. taihangensis nalaze samo na biljkama kiselog drveta, što sugeriše da se A.
taihangensis može razvijati i reprodukovati samo na kiselom drvetu, čime se potvrđuje već
poznata činjenica o izuzetnoj monofagnosti eriofidnih grinja.
16
Testovi o uticaju ishrane A. taihangensis na kiselo drvo, rađeni tokom dve godine na
mladim biljkama ili sadnicama starim dva meseca, pokazali su da se usled ishrane ove eriofide
biomasa infestirane biljke redukuje oko 80% u odnosu na neinfestiranu biljku.
Imajući u vidu da je A. taihangensis već prisutna u Evropi, dalja istraživanja bi trebalo
usmeriti ka pronalaženju mogućnosti za upotrebu ove eriofide kao agensa za biološku
kontrolu kiselog drveta augmentativnim pristupom.

AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., was discovered on cheatgrass, Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (syn. Bromus tectorum L.), an annual grass that is native to Eurasia and Northern Africa. This grass was introduced to North America near the end of the 19th century and now is widespread and associated with the observed increases in the size, frequency, and intensity of wildfires in western N. America. In this paper, A. marcelli sp. nov., is morphologically described and illustrated. Compared with other Aculodes spp., it differs based on morphology and the sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene, subunit I (MT-CO1). Results of morphometric analysis showed clear differentiation between A. marcelli sp. nov., and the most similar congener, A. altamurgiensis from Taeniatherum caput-medusae. Analysis of MT-CO1 sequence divergence revealed significant levels of genetic variation (17.7%) and supported the results from the morphometric analysis; therefore, it is determined that they are two different species. Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., is a new candidate agent for classical biological control of A. tectorum.

AB  - A new species of plant mite (Acari: Eriophyidae) was discovered on medusahead (Taeniatherum caputmedusae), an annual grass that is native to central Asia and the Mediterranean Basin. It is invasive in western North America. Aculodes altamurgiensis sp. nov., is described here and differentiated from other Aculodes spp., on the basis of morphology. Its DNA fingerprinting was reported and compared with Aculodes mckenziei collected from Elymus repens and Bromus inermis. Pairwise comparison of MT-001 sequences between A. altamurgiensis sp. nov., and A. mckenziei revealed 20.2-21.5% genetic divergence between these congeneric species. First collected in Parco Nazionale dell'Alta Murgia in Apulia, Italy in 2014,A. altamurgiensis sp. nov., has been subsequently collected from medusahead in Serbia, Bulgaria, Iran and Turkey. Based on these data and on preliminary observations on the effects of the mite on plant growth, A. altamurgiensis sp. nov., is currently being investigated as a candidate biological control agent of medusahead.

AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite Aceria alhagi n. sp. inhabiting the weed Alhagi maurorum Medik., is described from the type locality in Iran, but it was also collected from Uzbekistan, Turkey and Armenia. This mite causes changes of the leaves and inflorescence. Infested plants develop cauliflower- like galls on the inflorescence and leaves deforming the reproductive structures and inhibiting seed production. The potential reduction in seed set suggests that this mite could constitute a potential biological control agent against this noxious weed. To investigate intraspecific variability between A. alhagi n. sp. populations from Iran, Turkey and Armenia, we analysed molecular sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI). These results indicated that there are no significant intraspecific divergences among populations of A. alhagi n. sp. from the five different localities in three West Asia countries. This finding can be used in the future research of certain mite populations as biological control agent.

AB  - Common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Asterales: Asteraceae), is an annual harmful weed of North American origin, now widely distributed in Central and Southern Europe, Asia and Australia. It is an agricultural weed, but it represents a serious risk for human health because its pollen can cause severe allergies. Recently, in the framework of the EU-COST Action 'SMARTER', an European program was started with the aim to develop sustainable management strategies for ragweed in Europe, with a special emphasis in the search and selection of biological control agents. Among them, the record of a new eriophyid mite Aceria species in Serbia has been considered as potential important biological control candidate. This paper describes the species following both morphological and bio-molecular approaches, and is giving some preliminary data on the geographical distribution and on the biology of the eriophyid mite on its host plant.

AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite, Metaculus diplotaxi n. sp. inhabiting Diplotaxis tenuifolia ( L.) DC., is described from Serbia. To investigate interspecific variability between Metaculus spp. on three different Brassicaceae host plants ( viz. D. tenuifolia, Lepidium latifolium ( L.), Isatis tinctoria ( L.)), we analyzed phenotypic variability of morphological traits and molecular sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( MT- CO1). Discriminant analysis identified seven traits that significantly differentiate three Metaculus spp: M. lepidifolii, M. rapistri, and M. diplotaxi n. sp. Analysis of MT- CO1 sequences supported the results obtained from the analysis of morphometric features.
