冬虫夏草成熟过程中中国被毛孢和蝙蝠蛾拟青霉DNA共存及竞争增殖力、化学成分变化

文献报道从冬虫夏草中分离得到蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和中国被毛孢,本研究检测了蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和中国被毛孢真菌及其DNA在冬虫夏草中的共存,同时检测了2个真菌在冬虫夏草成熟过程中的竞争增殖力。应用色谱法和质谱法检测了冬虫夏草及中国被毛孢和蝙蝠蛾拟青霉菌丝体的化学成分指纹谱。在冬虫夏草中检测到蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和中国被毛孢活菌,在虫体和子座中检测到这两个真菌的DNA。从子座露出地表后,冬虫夏草的成熟伴有蛋白质和小分子有机化合物指纹谱的动态变化,中国被毛孢竞争增殖力下降(P<0.001)。中国被毛孢和蝙蝠蛾拟青霉菌丝体的化学成分指纹谱均不能与冬虫夏草的成分完全重叠,与中国被毛孢相比,蝙蝠蛾拟青霉菌丝体与冬虫夏草的指纹谱更相似。结论:中药冬虫夏草的成熟伴有蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和中国被毛孢真菌共存于它的虫体和子座,也伴有冬虫夏草化学成分的变化和中国被毛孢竞争增殖力的下降。     

蝙蝠蛾幼虫肠道真菌复合体中的多菌种与中国被毛孢分生孢子联合侵染蝙蝠蛾幼虫提高侵染效能

应用真菌特异性引物PCR测序、克隆测序和SNP质谱基因分型法,鉴定2株蝙蝠蛾幼虫活体肠道的真菌分离株(CH1和CH2)中的多种菌物。应用这2株分离株与中国被毛孢分生孢子联合侵染蝙蝠蛾幼虫,观察其协同侵染活性。结果表明这2株分离株呈现中国被毛孢的体外培养生长和显微形态特征。通用引物ITS4/5和蝙蝠蛾拟青霉特异性引物Pp4/5扩增子测序检出蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和中国被毛孢ITS序列。扩增子克隆-测序和SNP基因分型法证实多种转换和颠换点突变基因型在2株分离株中共存。反复固体、液体培养证实蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和中国被毛孢ITS序列共存,并非真菌间DNA片段漂移。应用子囊孢子或中国被毛孢侵染4~5龄蝙蝠蛾幼虫,幼虫染菌率为1.37%~3.52%,幼虫变僵时间为35~50 d。应用2株分离株与中国被毛孢分生孢子联合侵染,幼虫变僵时间为5~8 d,染菌率达55.2%(P0.001),侵染效能提高15~39倍。蝙蝠蛾拟青霉和多种点突变基因型冬虫夏草菌(包括中国被毛孢)在蝙蝠蛾幼虫肠道以天然真菌复合体形式共存;多种菌物组成的侵染源联合侵染蝙蝠蛾幼虫大幅度提高侵染效能,呈现多菌协同侵染的共生关系。

冬虫夏草及其相关类群的分子系统学分析

为了探明冬虫夏草及其相关类群的亲缘关系,以冬虫夏草、中国被毛孢及中华束丝孢(=冬虫夏草头孢=蝙蝠蛾多毛孢)共6株菌种作为内群和一株蛹草拟青霉作为外群进行了DNA随机多态型(RAPD)分析。此外,基于上述供试材料又在内群中增加了一株蝙蝠蛾拟青霉,并对内群和外群样品的nrDNA间隔区(ITS)碱基序列进行了测定;对于测定的8条序列连同来自GenBank中的4条相关序列进行了分子系统学分析。结果表明:中华束丝孢和中国被毛孢均系冬虫夏草菌的无性型。按照国际植物命名法规,中国被毛孢应为冬虫夏草菌无性型的正确名称。而蝙蝠蛾拟青霉为不同于冬虫夏草菌的另一种真菌;该名称由于不合格发表而不被国际植物命名法规所承认。     

聚六亚甲基双胍对蝙蝠蛾幼虫病原菌粉棒束孢的杀菌效果和毒性评价

为了解聚六亚甲基双胍对冬虫夏草寄主昆虫蝙蝠蛾幼虫病原菌粉棒束孢的杀菌消毒效果和对蝙蝠蛾幼虫的毒性,本文采用了悬液定量杀菌试验、现场试验、稳定性试验及昆虫毒性评价方法,对该消毒剂的消毒相关性能及安全性进行试验观察。结果显示含2g/L聚六亚甲基双胍消毒液对粉棒束孢孢子悬液或者现场试验作用45–60min,杀菌率均可达到99.00%以上。聚六亚甲基双胍消毒原液及稀释液37℃保存3个月与1个月的下降率分别为2.10%和3.20%,性质比较稳定、杀菌效率短期内无显著降低;含量≤10g/L聚六亚甲基双胍消毒液对蝙蝠蛾幼虫死亡影响不显著,无明显的不良反应,属于实际无毒类物质。聚六亚甲基双胍消毒液性质稳定、杀菌效果好、无毒,可用于蝙蝠蛾幼虫饲料、饲养盒等的消毒。

繁育寄主对稻螟赤眼蜂寄生行为及寄生能力的影响

【目的】繁育寄主影响赤眼蜂的生物学特性,为明确米蛾 Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton)卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂 Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead是否和二化螟Chilo suppressalis (Walker)卵繁育稻螟赤眼蜂在防治二化螟上有差别,及田间用米蛾卵作为稻螟赤眼蜂续代寄主的可行性,本实验观察了羽化自不同寄主的稻螟赤眼蜂的寄主选择和寄生行为,研究了两种繁育寄主对稻螟赤眼蜂寄生能力的影响,为田间防治水稻螟虫提供参考信息。【方法】室内利用选择试验观察了由米蛾卵和二化螟卵繁育出的稻螟赤眼蜂对两种寄主的选择趋性及在两种寄主上的寄生行为和寄生能力,统计了羽化子代蜂的寿命。【结果】由二化螟卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂表现出了对二化螟卵的选择偏好,而米蛾卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂在米蛾卵和二化螟卵间没有表现出寄主选择偏好。寄主搜寻时间不受繁育寄主及供试寄主的影响,卵表探测时间和穿刺及产卵时间不受繁育寄主的影响,但同一寄主繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂在米蛾卵上的卵表探测时间显著长于在二化螟卵上的卵表检测时间。除二化螟卵繁育蜂寄生二化螟卵时的寄生率（36.95%）和羽化率（45.68%）较低外,米蛾卵繁育蜂寄生米蛾卵或二化螟卵以及二化螟卵繁育蜂寄生米蛾卵等3组处理间的寄生率、羽化率均无显著差异,各处理组间子代蜂寿命也无显著差异。【结论】繁育寄主影响稻螟赤眼蜂的寄主选择和寄生能力,但不影响寄生蜂搜寻寄主的能力和寄生行为。     

土壤和植物对冬虫夏草寄主昆虫规模化饲养的影响

冬虫夏草大量人工培植的关键之一是寄主昆虫的规模化饲养,本文对西藏林芝地区冬虫夏草生境中不同土壤基质在室内对蝙蝠蛾幼虫生长的影响以及寄主幼虫对5种植物的取食行为、嗅觉反应进行了系统研究。结果表明蝙蝠蛾幼虫偏好土质疏松、渗透性好的土壤,土壤因子中湿度和有机质含量与蝙蝠蛾幼虫存活率成正相关。蝙蝠蛾3龄幼虫对适生地植物的取食选择性与嗅觉反应趋性顺序为鹅绒委陵菜>珠芽蓼>小大黄>圆穗蓼>羊角天麻;进一步Spearman相关分析显示,幼虫对各植物的选择系数与可溶性糖（R=0.850,P<0.05）和粗蛋白（R=0.898,P<0.05）都存在显著的正相关关系,而与粗纤维（R=-0.952,P<0.05）有着显著的负相关关系,与粗灰分（R=-0.391,P=0.516）之间没有显著的相关关系;取食鹅绒委陵菜、珠芽蓼后的幼虫单头虫重显著大于取食其他植物的幼虫。这一研究结果为冬虫夏草寄主昆虫规模化饲养提供了理论依据。     

蝙蝠蛾幼虫感染粉棒束孢后的病症、组织病理变化及侵入途径

蝙蝠蛾幼虫的饲养是冬虫夏草培植的先决条件,粉棒束孢作为蝙蝠蛾幼虫饲养过程中的一种常见和主要致病菌,具有极强的致病性和流行性。结合形态学观察和组织切片技术,本文研究了蝙蝠蛾幼虫感染病原菌粉棒束孢后的症状、主要组织病理变化及粉棒束孢侵染蝙蝠蛾幼虫的途径。结果表明,用浓度为1×10⁵个/mL的粉棒束孢分生孢子悬液处理蝙蝠蛾5龄幼虫,4d后在腹部气门处有黑斑出现,气门变黑,虫体随后瘫痪死亡、体色改变、收缩化僵、菌丝层包裹、形成众多孢梗束等症状。幼虫被粉棒束孢感染后,菌丝体首先利用血淋巴进行增殖,脂肪体、肌肉、消化道、丝腺和马氏管等主要组织器官先后出现不同程度的破坏,虫体体腔被大量菌丝充斥并最终僵化。组织切片观察结果表明,粉棒束孢可以通过气门侵入蝙蝠蛾幼虫体内并造成虫体死亡,菌丝穿透气管进入血淋巴后断裂成许多长短不一的短菌丝段,目前尚未观察到菌丝直接穿透幼虫体壁和从消化道侵入的现象。本研究为蝙蝠蛾幼虫饲养过程中的病害防治提供信息参考。     

蝙蝠蛾幼虫肠道中的冬虫夏草菌体研究

西藏林芝地区冬虫夏草天然产区野生虫草蝙蝠蛾幼虫的肠道液pH范围为9.69-10.99,体外在此pH下培养冬虫夏草菌长势较差。同时,在该pH的体外模拟中肠液中,虫菌体也会在极短的时间内消亡,而对自然侵染的蝙蝠蛾幼虫的血淋巴、消化道及其“反吐物”（肠液）进行切片和显微镜检却发现,蝙蝠蛾幼虫消化道、呕吐物中均存在与血淋巴中相同的冬虫夏草菌菌体形态,生存状态良好,正常增殖,表明蝙蝠蛾幼虫肠道的生理状态可以维系并支撑冬虫夏草菌菌体某种形态的存在与生长,并证实冬虫夏草菌由口器及消化道入侵蝙蝠蛾幼虫的可能性;肠道虫菌体与血淋巴虫菌体不一定同时存在,表明冬虫夏草菌对蝙蝠蛾幼虫的侵染可能同时存在表皮侵染和肠道侵染两种途径。本文为冬虫夏草菌对蝙蝠蛾幼虫的侵染途径研究提供更加多样化的信息支持。     

冬虫夏草不同生长阶段甾醇类含量分析

冬虫夏草是一味传统名贵中药材,甾醇类成分是其重要的活性成分之一。为了探讨冬虫夏草不同生长阶段甾醇类成分的变化,本研究采用高效液相-蒸发光散射检测器技术对冬虫夏草5个不同阶段样品（冬虫夏草发酵菌丝体、僵虫、1cm子座冬虫夏草,4-6cm子座冬虫夏草,孢子弹射冬虫夏草）和对照样品（蝙蝠蛾幼虫）中麦角甾醇、胆甾醇和谷甾醇的含量进行了分析。结果显示4-6cm子座冬虫夏草样品总甾醇含量较高,该结果为冬虫夏草采收期的选择提供了参考。     

Distribution, biology and host range of Rhembastus sp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a candidate for the biological control of Bryophyllum delagoense (Crassulaceae) in Australia

The biology and host range of a leaf-beetle, Rhembastus sp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae) from Madagascar, was studied under quarantine laboratory conditions in South Africa to determine its potential as a biological control agent of Bryophyllum delagoense (Ecklon & Zeyher) Schinz (Crassulaceae) in Australia. Favourable attributes of the beetle include relative ease of culturing, multiple generations per year, and high levels of damage inflicted by adults, which feed on the plantlets produced at the end of each leaf, and root feeding larvae. The adults therefore have an impact on the reproductive potential of the plant and larval feeding on the roots hampers the uptake of water and may even facilitate secondary infections by pathogens. Despite indications from field surveys in Madagascar that Rhembastus sp. has a narrow host range, preliminary no-choice and multiple-choice trials in quarantine revealed that it could complete its development on five non-target species in the family Crassulaceae. Extensive host range trials still have to be undertaken in Australia before the beetle can be considered for release.

Reproductive compatibility of several East and West African Cotesia sesamiae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) populations and their crosses and backcrosses using Sesamia calamistis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) as the host

The relative importance of the braconid Cotesia sesamiae, a gregarious larval parasitoid of lepidopteran stemborers, varies greatly with region in Africa; while the most common parasitoid of noctuid stemborers in eastern Africa, it is rare in western Africa. Thus, several strains of C. sesamiae from Kenya are envisaged for introduction into western Africa. The present study investigates the reproductive compatibility between four populations of C. sesamiae from West Africa and Kenya with the noctuid Sesamia calamistis as the host using reciprocal crosses as well as backcrosses of hybrid females with males of the parental populations. Searching time of the male for the female and mating period varied significantly with couple and ranged between 0.78-1.9 min and 3.4-12.8 s, respectively. Crosses that involved females from inland Kenya (KI) did not yield any female offspring. However, backcrosses of hybrid female bearing a KI male genome with a KI male yielded both female and male offspring. Thus, there was a partial reproductive incompatibility between KI and West African populations which suggested that the latter were infected with Wolbachia sp. However, this should not affect the efficacy of a population introduced from East into West Africa, as there is a high degree of sib-mating in this gregarious parasitoid species. It was concluded that the regional differences in the relative importance of C. sesamiae was due to differences in the insect and plant host range of the different populations.

Effect of host egg viability on reproduction and development of Trichogramma cacoeciae and T. principium (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

A combination of a sterile insect technique, resulting in infertile eggs, and of an egg parasitoid, should provide better control of codling moth than either alone. Non-choice laboratory experiments were conducted with infertile and fertile codling moth eggs to evaluate the potential parasitism and reproduction of Trichogramma cacoeciae Marchal and T. principium Sug. et Sor. The tendency of T. cacoeciae females to attack infertile eggs was similar to that for fertile eggs, whereas T. principium showed a greater preference for infertile eggs than fertile eggs. The fertility status of the host did not affect the number of eggs that were parasitized but fewer F₁ progeny emerged from infertile eggs when parasitized than from fertile eggs. When T. cacoeciae and T. principium parasitized infertile host eggs their mean developmental time was prolonged but the viability and quality of parasitoid progeny was not influenced by the fertility status of the host eggs. The study demonstrates the compatibility of use of T. cacoeciae and T. principium in an integrated program employing the sterile insect technique for codling moth management.     

Housing, breeding and selecting chickens of the Obese strain (OS) with spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis

A management programme is described for a small colony of Obese strain (OS) chickens afflicted with spontaneous hereditary thyroiditis. Animals of this White Leghorn line are used as an animal model for Hashimoto's thyroiditis of man to study possible mechanisms of autoimmunity in general and organ-specific autoimmune diseases in particular. Due to the severe mononuclear cell infiltration of the thyroid glands, OS chickens show symptoms of hypothyroidism, including small body size, subcutaneous and abdominal fat deposits, long silky feathers, small combs and wattles, cold sensitivity, low fertility and poor hatchability. Successful breeding of this line, especially in a small population, can therefore be done only if rigid precautions are taken in aspects of animal care. The selection of breeding stock, the principal requirements for adequate housing and food, the artificial insemination procedure, and recommendations for collecting and incubating chicken eggs are reported in detail. Precautions necessary during the incubation of fertilized eggs, and fertility and hatchability are reported. During the hatching period several specific features must be considered. The important role of staff involved in a small chicken breeding unit is emphasized.
