采用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)技术对内蒙古地区亚洲小车蝗Oedaleus asiaticus(B.-bienko)9个不同地理种群90个个体进行扩增,8条随机引物扩增共产生了78条带,多态性片段为62条。对Nei′s基因多样性指数和遗传距离进行分析,结果表明:种群间的遗传分化系数为0.2343,即23.43%的遗传变异存在于种群间,种群内的遗传分化系数为0.7657,即76.57%的遗传多样性存在于种群内,群体内遗传多样性大于群体间遗传多样性。用NJ法对这3个种群的Nei′s遗传距离作聚类分析,结果表明亚洲小车蝗不同种群的遗传分化程度与地理距离具有正相关关系。     

寄生性天敌蒲螨研究进展

蒲螨属Pyemotes具有特殊的生活史和形态特征,是多种害虫的体外寄生性天敌。蒲螨属的种按照形态等特点分为2个组,分别为小蠹蒲螨组(Pyemotes scolyti group)和球腹蒲螨组(Pyemotes ventricosus group)。国内外对蒲螨毒素的研究较多,已知其属于昆虫神经毒素,能使寄主昆虫永久性麻痹,有些种类还能引起人类和动物皮炎。对一些种类蒲螨的毒素组成成分、毒素基因重组技术等进行研究,对蒲螨毒素基因的优化和重组仍将是进一步研究的热点。作为一类很有潜能的害虫天敌资源,蒲螨应用方面的报道还较少,国外集中在麦蒲螨对仓储害虫和红火蚁的防治方面;我国有利用小蠹蒲螨防治小蠹虫的报道,近年来防治双条杉天牛取得成功,表明其用于防治钻蛀性害虫特别是蛀干害虫和地下害虫前景良好,因此,应对蒲螨蒲螨寄主谱、寄主选择机理、寄生机理等进行深入研究。     

朱砂叶螨体内感染的Wolbachia的wsp基因序列测定与分析

应用Wolbachia的wsp基因特异引物,通过PCR扩增法对我国朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus7个地理种群进行了检测。在采自黑龙江佳木斯、安徽安庆、江苏镇江和浙江慈溪的4个地理种群中扩增出了596bp左右的Wolbachia的wsp基因片段,而在河北威县、山东滨州和湖北赤壁3个地理种群中未发现这个Wolbachia特征基因片段,表明 Wolbachia在我国朱砂叶螨中的侵染较为普遍。通过对我国朱砂叶螨体内感染的 Wolbachia的wsp基因序列进行系统发育分析,得出它们全部与B大组的Ori组的Wolbachia株十分相近或完全相同,提示它们可能是相近或相同的株。     

井冈山血水草种群遗传多样性的RAPD分析

采用RAPD技术对江西省井冈山5个血水草种群进行了遗传多样性研究。从50条随机引物中筛选出16条随机引物对血水草的90个个体进行了扩增,共得到180条可统计条带,其中156条为多态带,占总条带数的85.56%。根据Shannon指数和Nei’s遗传分化指数分析显示5个种群间的遗传多样性为31.50%、遗传分化系数为0.302 9,表明血水草大部分遗传变异存在于种群内,少部分存在种群间。血水草的基因流（Nm）为1.150 8。采用算数平均数的非加权成组配对法（UPMGA）对Nei’s的一致度进行的聚类分析结果显示梨坪种群和水口种群的遗传距离最近（0.120 9）,茨坪种群和荆竹山种群的遗传距离最远（0.234 9）。Mantel相关性分析结果显示血水草种群间的遗传距离不仅与海拔梯度有关,还与其生境有关。     

RAPD在三色堇(Viola wittrockiana)自交系遗传关系研究及杂种优势预测中的应用

用RAPD技术分析了18个三色堇(Viola wittrockiana)自交系的遗传多样性。21个随机引物扩增了167条带,其中127条具多态性,显示自交系间存在较大的遗传变异。用UPGMA法可将自交系聚为五大类,其分类结果与花径和材料来源地基本一致。以其中的5个自交系进行双列杂交试验,研究了RAPD遗传距离与三色堇杂交后代10个性状杂种优势的关系,实验结果表明:RAPD遗传距离仅与花数达到0.1的显著水平,而与其它8个性状杂种优势的相关性不显著;用RPAD遗传距离预测三色堇的花数杂种优势具有一定的可靠性,但用于对其它性状杂种优势的预测目前是不可行的。     

基于RAPD数据探讨中华蓑藓(Macromitrium cavaleriei Card.& Thér.)形态变异的遗传基础

中华蓑藓(Macromitrium cavaleriei Card.&;Thér.)的形态变异强烈,为了解形态变异是否具有遗传学背景,本研究以采自浙南凤阳山、浙中金华北山、浙西北的天目山和江西庐山4个种群的中华蓑藓为材料,运用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)探讨了中华蓑藓的遗传多样性。从100条随机引物中筛选出了15条有效引物,利用它们共获得183个条带,其中多态性条带占79.69%,中华蓑藓各种群间的Dice遗传距离为0.0732~0.1514。POPGENE32软件分析得到种的Nei基因多样性指数(H)为0.3378,Shannon指数(I)为0.5126,遗传分化系数(G_st)为0.1670;基因流(N_m)为2.4947;种群内遗传多样性指数为0.4055,占种群总的遗传多样性的79.11%,反映出研究区域内的中华蓑藓遗传变异大多数存在于种群内,中华蓑藓形态变异并没有多少遗传背景,很可能是生态环境因素引起的可塑性变异。聚类分析表明,中华蓑藓种群遗传距离与地理距离之间无直接相关关系,遗传多样性水平与物种特性和所处不同群落有关。虽然4个种群内的形态变异丰富,但是属于同一物种的范围。

Occurrence of the mite Pyemotes sp. (Acari: Pyemotidae) in insect rearing in laboratory

Pyemotidae mites have been reported as ectoparasites of a large number of arthropods, especially of insects. These mites are frequently found attacking insects in different habitats, including insect rearing. This paper reports the occurrence of Pyemotes sp., ventricosus group, in colonies of Tuta absoluta (Meyerick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in the insect rearing laboratory of ESALQ-USP, in Piracicaba, State of S?o Paulo, provoking dematitis in those involved with the rearing. This is the first report of a Pyemotes species parasitizing T. absoluta and S. zeamais. Considering the capacity of Pyemotes to cause dermatitis in human beings, demonstrated by other authors, the direct use of the Pyemotes species found in this work for the control of the reported insect species may not be promising.     

Chalcids of the subfamily Pteromalinae (Hymenoptera,Pteromalidae) as parasitoids of the bark beetles (Coleoptera,Scolytidae) in the fauna of Russia and adjacent territories

Eighteen species of ten genera of bark beetle parasitoids were found in the fauna of Russia and adjacent countries. Sixteen species of the parasitoids are recorded as new to the faunas of Belarus, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and regions of Russia. An annotated list of nineteen species of pteromalids, with data on the material examined, geographic distribution, and hosts is given. New hosts are reported for five species of the bark beetle ectoparasitoids. An original key to eighteen species and ten genera of Pteromalidae parasitizing bark beetles is provided.     

The role of host plant species in the phenotypic differentiation of sympatric populations of Aleiodes nolophanae and Cotesia marginiventris

The ecology of parasitoids is strongly influenced by their host plant species. Parasitoid fitness can be affected by a variety of plant traits that could promote phenotypic differentiation among populations of parasitoids. Generalist parasitoids are expected to be more affected by plant traits (e.g., plant defensive traits) than specialist parasitoids. Data are presented on phenotypic differences of two braconid parasitoid wasps ovipositing on the same insect host species on two different host plant species. Adult mass, adult longevity, and percent parasitism are compared for the generalist parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris Cresson and the specialist parasitoid Aleiodes nolophanae Ashmead (both Hymenoptera: Braconidae) emerging from green cloverworms, Hypena scabra Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), feeding on two host plant species, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) (both Fabaceae), at three locations. Specialist wasps that parasitized the green cloverworm on alfalfa had a significantly larger mass than the ones that parasitized the green cloverworm on soybean at the three study sites. Generalist wasps that parasitized green cloverworms on alfalfa had a larger mass than wasps parasitizing green cloverworms on soybean only at one of the study sites (i.e., Prince George's County, MD, USA). Similarly, both specialist and generalist wasps lived longer when parasitizing green cloverworms on alfalfa than when parasitizing them on soybean at only one of the study sites (i.e., Prince George's County). In Prince George's County, percent parasitism on alfalfa by the specialist parasitoid was higher than on soybean for three consecutive years and percent parasitism by the generalist parasitoid was the same on alfalfa and soybean every year. Thus, phenotypic differences among populations associated with different host plant species vary geographically (i.e., parasitoid phenotype associated with different host plant species differ at some sites while it is the same at other sites). The implications of geographic variation for biological control are discussed.     

Characterization of Gibberella fujikuroi complex isolates by fumonisin B1 and B2 analysis and by RAPD and restriction analysis of PCR-amplified internal transcribed spacers of ribosomal DNA

Twenty nine isolates of Fusarium spp. (twenty four of them belonging to the Gibberella fujikuroi complex) isolated from banana and corn from different geographical regions were analyzed for their ability to produce fumonisins B1 and B2 and for genetic relatedness using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and restriction analysis of PCR amplification products of the 5.8s ribosomal DNA-intervening internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS I-5.8S-ITS II). For RAPD analysis, six of twenty oligonucleotide primers were selected after testing with five Fusarium spp. isolates and used to characterize 24 additional isolates. DNA fragments from the 29 isolates of Fusarium spp., which were approximately 560 bp, were amplified with the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4. The restriction enzymes HaeIII, MboI, HpaII and MspI were useful for distinguishing the isolates. The RAPD analysis permitted to find interspecific differences among the isolates of Fusarium spp., between isolates with low and high capacity of fumonisin production and among isolates from different hosts. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP-PCR) analysis permitted to distinguish among different species of Fusarium. In combination with morphological analysis, the results of this research may find an application for the diagnosis of unknown Fusarium spp. and, particularly, for the characterization of fumonisin-producing isolates, which may be very useful in the food technology field.     

High lineage diversity and host sharing of malarial parasites in a local avian assemblage

Bird populations often have high prevalences of the haemosporidians Haemoproteus spp. and Plasmodium spp., but the extent of host sharing and host switching among these parasite lineages and their avian hosts is not well known. While sampling within a small geographic region in which host individuals are likely to have been exposed to the same potential parasite lineages, we surveyed highly variable mitochondrial DNA from haemosporidians isolated from 14 host taxa representing 4 avian families (Hirundinidae, Parulidae, Emberizidae, and Fringillidae). Analyses of cytochrome b sequences from 83 independent infections identified 29 unique haplotypes, representing 2 well-differentiated Haemoproteus spp. lineages and 6 differentiated Plasmodium spp. lineages. A phylogenetic reconstruction of relationships among these lineages provided evidence against host specificity at the species and family levels, as all haemosporidian lineages recovered from 2 or more host individuals (2 Haemoproteus and 3 Plasmodium lineages) were found in at least 2 host families. We detected a similar high level of host sharing; the 3 most intensively sampled host species each harbored 4 highly differentiated haemosporidian lineages. These results indicate that some Haemoproteus spp. and Plasmodium spp. lineages exhibit a low degree of host specificity, a phenomenon with implications for ecological and evolutionary interactions among these parasites and their hosts.     

Host sex preferences and transmission success by the water mite Unionicola foili (Acari: Unionicolidae) parasitic on the midge Chironomus tentans (Diptera: Chironomidae)

This study examined whether ecoparasitic larval Unionicola foili exhibited a sex bias when infecting laboratory populations of the host insect Chironomus tentans and whether an association with male or female midges increased the likelihood of larval mites returning to the aquatic habitat. When laboratory populations of C. tentans were exposed to larval U. foili, there was a higher prevalence of mites among female hosts at emergence (17 of 30 males vs. 25 of 30 females infected by mites). However, there was no significant difference in the distribution or abundance of larvae among infected male (mean = 2.3 larvae per host) and female (mean = 2.6 larvae per host) midges. Larval mites parasitizing both male and female chironomids were more likely to return to water than could be expected by chance. Mite larvae infesting female C. tentans were more likely to return to water when female hosts deposited egg masses in water, suggesting that oviposition plays an important role in cueing larvae parasitizing female midges to detach. The mechanism responsible for increasing the likelihood that mites parasitizing male hosts return to water remains unclear. Future studies will address the possibility of parasite-mediated changes in host behavior.     

Diversity of insect trypanosomatids assessed from the spliced leader RNA and 5S rRNA genes and intergenic regions

We have determined the sequences of 5S rRNA and spliced leader (SL) RNA genes, and adjacent intergenic regions for representatives of all known trypanosomatid genera parasitizing insects. The genetic loci have been analyzed separately as well as by a combined approach. Several isolates, assigned by morphology to different genera (Leptomonas spp., Blastocrithidia spp.), seem to belong to a single species with an unexpectedly wide host and geographical range. An unnamed trypanosomatid isolated from rats in Egypt was found to belong to the genus Herpetomonas, so far associated with insect hosts only. It is closely related to Herpetomonas ztiplika, a parasite of a blood-sucking biting midge. Apparently several different trypanosomatid species can infect one insect species, as exemplified by Leptomonas sp. PL and Wallaceina sp. Wsd, which were isolated from different specimens of Salda littoralis on the same locality and day. However, since the same species of Leptomonas was obtained from insect hosts belonging to different genera, some insect trypanosomatids may have low host specificity. Our data revealed additional discrepancies between molecular phylogenetic data and cell morphology, rendering current trypanosomatid taxonomy unreliable.     

悬钩子属植物的RAPD分析

用RAPD标记技术对13个黑莓（blackberry）、树莓（raspberry）品种和5个野生悬钩子种类（Rubus spp．）的26个居群的遗传多样性进行了分析。用15个寡聚核苷酸随机引物共扩增出条带131条,其中多态性条带118条,占扩增条带总数的90％,表明悬钩子属植物种间和品种间存在丰富的遗传多样性。通过聚类分析可将供试的26个居群分为4组,其中A组有粗叶悬钩子（R．alceaefolius Poir．）、山莓（R．corchorifolius L．）、插田泡（R．coreanus Miq．）、掌叶覆盆子（R．chingii Hu）、‘威廉姆特’、‘托拉咪’、‘泰勒’、‘金克维’、‘布里斯托’、‘宝森’7号、‘布莱兹’及其实生苗、‘基奥瓦’、‘萨尼’、‘黑布特’等15个居群;B组包括‘宝森’1号～‘宝森’6号和‘马林’、‘乔克多’等8个居群;C组包括‘赫尔’和‘切斯特’的2个居群;D组仅有蓬藁（R．hirsutus Thunb．）1种。这一聚类结果与传统形态学分类结果基本吻合。     

Phylogenetic Analysis of Dipterocarps Using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Markers

The phylogenetic relationships among 12 species belonging tothree different genera (Shorea, HopeaandAnisoptera) of Dipterocarpaceaewere studied using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.A modified CTAB DNA extraction protocol was used to obtain tannin-and polysaccharide-free genomic DNA from mature leaves. Clusteranalysis of data from six random primers placed the 12 speciesin three groups corresponding to their respective genera. Fourdistinct nodes ofShoreaspp. and two ofHopeaspp. could be identified.Anisopteramegistocarpaserved as an outgroup, and was unique when comparedto the other genera examined. RAPD profiles of five individualsofH. odoratawith six random primers were identical, suggestingthat there is little intraspecific variation in this species.The RAPD technique can thus be successfully applied for thestudy of phylogenetic relationships of this important groupof tropical timber trees.Copyright 1998 Annals of Botany Company Dipterocarpaceae,Anisopteraspp.,Hopeaspp.,Shoreaspp., RAPD markers, tropical timber trees.
