蚕豆叶片几丁质酶活性的蚜虫诱导──植物生理应激反应的趋同性

在蚜虫和蚕豆构成的种群作用系统中,证实蚜虫的取食危害能诱导植物几丁质酶活性的增加,并且诱导反应的强度与昆虫危害程度相关．实验结果表明,诱导效应能在植物体内传导,诱导反应随时间呈动态变化．综合目前几丁质酶的诱导研究,认为几丁质酶不是特异性的抗性蛋白,而是应激反应的伴随产物,并提出在逆境条件下植物的应激反应模式．

种植茼蒿对蚕豆苜蓿蚜的田间控制作用

[目的] 探讨不同生育期和不同种植方式的茼蒿对蚕豆蚜虫的诱集作用,为利用茼蒿控制蚕豆蚜虫提供理论依据。[方法] 在蚕豆田四周种植不同生育期（幼苗期、现蕾期、开花期）和不同行数（1行、2行）的茼蒿,观察不同处理的蚕豆田有蚜株率和蚜害等级,各处理设在互不干扰的小区内进行。[结果] 蚕豆四周种植不同生育期茼蒿后,蚕豆上有蚜株率和蚜害等级比例存在显著差异,且与茼蒿的生育期有明显的相关性,各处理有蚜株率从低到高分别为茼蒿开花期（28.33%） < 现蕾期（41.67%） < 幼苗期（55.00%）,并均显著低于对照（63.33%）;种植不同生育期茼蒿后,各处理蚕豆蚜害等级也不同,5级蚜害在种植开花期茼蒿处理后仅为5.00%,现蕾期为23.33%,幼苗期为33.33%,对照蚕豆上蚜害最高,达40.00%。分别种植1行（33.33%）和2行（23.33%）茼蒿后,最高有蚜株率均显著低于对照（66.67%）,低蚜害等级比例明显增高,高蚜害比例明显下降,且种植2行的效果更佳。[结论] 开花期的茼蒿对蚕豆蚜虫诱集作用最强,种植2行开花期茼蒿可以有效降低蚕豆蚜虫为害。在蚕豆生产上,种植茼蒿可以作为蚕豆蚜虫生态防控的重要手段之一。     

南方小花蝽对西花蓟马和蚕豆蚜的捕食作用

南方小花蝽Orius similis是多种小型害虫的重要天敌昆虫,为了掌握其控制潜能,本文研究了南方小花蝽对西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis和蚕豆蚜Aphis craccivora的捕食作用。研究结果表明南方小花蝽3～5龄若虫和雌成虫对西花蓟马和蚕豆蚜的功能反应均符合HollingⅡ型方程,南方小花蝽3～5龄若虫和雌成虫对西花蓟马2龄若虫的瞬时攻击率均高于蚕豆蚜。南方小花蝽5龄若虫对蚕豆蚜的控制能力比雌成虫强,而对西花蓟马的控制能力比雌成虫差。南方小花蝽5龄若虫对西花蓟马2龄若虫和蚕豆蚜的捕食率（E）随着捕食者自身的密度（P）的增加而下降,其干扰反应方程分别为E=0.412P-1.623和E=0.416P-1.639。南方小花蝽5龄若虫对西花蓟马2龄若虫和蚕豆蚜有明显的选择性,5龄若虫喜欢取食西花蓟马2龄若虫,但前期取食的猎物对其选择性有明显的影响,更喜欢选择前期取食过的猎物。     

蚜虫种群时空分布动态模型

种群空间格局是昆虫种群的重要属性,是为害虫防治提供动态信息的重要前提。关于种群空间格局的时空动态,前人曾建立了富立叶模型和有阻尼自由震荡模型,但忽略了生境资源和空间资源的限制,不能很好地描述昆虫种群在自然界摆布状况的动态行为。因此,在前人研究的基础上,根据蚜虫在自然界的聚集扩散行为逐步建立了描述蚜虫种群聚集扩散规律的变幅、变周期时空分布动态模型,即:y=Ae-nt[sin(w0emtt+φ)+b]+c,并应用该模型对麦长管蚜(Sitobion avenae Fabricius)、麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum Rondani)、禾缢管蚜(Rhopalosiphum padi Linnaeus)和玉米蚜(Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch)的实验数据进行了拟合。结果表明,麦蚜种群和玉米蚜种群呈现出不同的规律,3种麦蚜均为减幅减周期的变化趋势,玉米蚜则表现为减幅增周期的变化趋势。此外,该模型的拟合效果较好(R20.942,SSE2.6)、生物意义明确,不仅可用于描述蚜虫以及蚜虫以外的其他昆虫和螨类种群的时空动态,还可准确描述不同年龄阶段和不同空间位置上种群的动态,具有普遍适用性。应用该模型考察不同种蚜虫在同一作物上的竞争情况和蚜虫与其天敌的空间分布动态,可为害虫的综合防治奠定基础;对不同小麦抗性品种上同一种蚜虫的聚集扩散行为进行刻画、分析,还可为小麦的抗性育种提供参考依据。     

蚜虫系统发育研究进展

文中简单回顾了蚜虫分类学研究和蚜虫高级阶元系统关系研究的历史,比较分析了有代表性的蚜虫类高级阶元系统发育关系,总结出现有系统发育关系中普遍存在的共识和争议:共识是将具有卵生生殖方式的球蚜类和根瘤蚜类与其它具有卵胎生生殖方式的蚜虫区分开,进而将之视为最古老的蚜虫支系;而主要的争议在于大蚜类、毛蚜类和扁蚜类的系统地位,以及几个相关类群间的亲缘关系,如短痣蚜类和大蚜类间的关系,斑蚜类、纩蚜类和群蚜类间的关系等.在研究进展中还介绍了分子生物学方法在蚜虫系统发育研究中的尝试,虽然其研究结果还未能完全解决上述问题,但必将是对现有研究方法的补充.     

蚕豆对蚕豆蚜刺吸胁迫的生理防御策略

本文以蚕豆-蚕豆蚜人工实验系统为对象,研究了蚕豆因蚕豆蚜刺吸胁迫而引起的生理应激反应。发现蚕豆蚜的胁迫使蚕豆的能量代谢加强,苯丙烷类代谢途径的关键酶PAL活性升高,苯丙烷类的代谢产物抗性物质氯原酸含量增加,与木质素合成有关的过氧化物酶活性增大,主要代谢途径的产物水溶性蛋白成份相对地减少,细胞膜透性明显地加大。当蚕豆蚜的胁迫解除后,有不同程度的逆转。实验结果显示了蚕豆对蚕豆蚜刺吸胁迫的防御,是全面综合的应激反应,一种间断的、可逆转的自我调节过程。     

蕾铃期棉蚜种群动态及年龄结构变化和受寄生的关系

本文描述了1983年棉花蕾铃期棉蚜发生情况。从7月上旬到9月上旬发生量超过往年同期的10倍。绘出了蚜虫数量的对数值和生理时间关系图,描述了棉蚜种群下降过程中年龄结构变化及其与寄生率变化的关系。在棉蚜种群下降过程中Ⅰ龄若蚜占百分比下降表明成蚜生殖力下降。高密度组Ⅱ龄若蚜百分比下降,表明Ⅰ龄若蚜死亡率增大。高密度组成虫比例下降是因为有翅若蚜比例高。上述年龄结构变化和寄生率关系密切,表明蚜群下降到低水平时寄生率上升不完全由于寄生蜂增殖,而Ⅰ、Ⅱ龄若蚜比例下降、有翅若蚜增加和高龄若蚜比例上升中是重要原因。棉株不同位置棉蚜寄生率没有差异。寄生率和单位面积内的蚜虫密度有关。     

桃蚜被寄生龄期与受寄生蜂影响大小的关系

在两个温度下将桃蚜Myzus perstcae无翅型不同龄期个体供菜蚜茧蜂Diaeretiella rapae产卵寄生,然后观察寄主蚜虫的发育、存活和生殖情况.结果表明,寄主蚜虫的发育速率不受影响,而从接受寄生蜂产卵到生殖率明显下降、产幼蚜终止、死亡三种症状出现的时间间隔分别为寄生蜂完成整个幼期发育所需时间的30%、40%、60%左右,这一规律不依寄主接受产卵的龄期和温度条件而变化,从而导致寄主所受影响随着接受产卵时龄期的增大而迅速下降.当蚜虫在1—2龄接受产卵时,一般不能产幼蚜,从二龄后期起,随着接受产卵龄期的推迟,所表现的内禀增长能力迅速增加,至羽化为成蚜时接受产卵,内禀增长能力已与未被寄生蚜虫的接近.由此可见,寄主不同龄期被产卵寄生的相对机率是影响蚜虫-蚜茧蜂混合种群动态关系的决定性因子之一,蚜茧蜂必须产卵于大量的1—3龄若蚜,才有可能对蚜虫种群的增长有明显的抑制作用.     

利福平对两种色型豌豆蚜种群参数的影响

为了明确利福平(rifampicin)不同处理对2种色型豌豆蚜生长发育和种群参数的影响,将利福平分别按同时喷洒蚕豆植株和蚜虫虫体(Ⅰ)、只喷洒蚜虫虫体(Ⅱ)和只喷洒蚕豆植株(Ⅲ)3种方式处理以及对照,获得各处理的发育历期、平均体重、体重差、相对日均体重增长率和平均繁殖力等生物学参数。结果表明:1)3种利福平处理的若虫发育历期和世代历期均显著长于同色型对照(P0.05),成蚜寿命表现为处理Ⅰ和处理Ⅲ均显著长于同色型对照(P0.05),处理Ⅱ有延长成蚜寿命的作用,但与同色型对照差异不显著(P0.05);处理Ⅰ中,红、绿色型豌豆蚜若虫发育历期期(9.46和9.84 d)、成蚜寿命(19.40和18.47 d)和世代历期(28.88和28.29 d)均达到最大值。2)3种处理的2种色型豌豆蚜平均体重、体重差和相对日均体重增长率均表现为下降,且与同色型对照差异显著(P0.05),而繁殖力显著低于同色型对照(P0.05)。3)3种处理的2种色型豌豆蚜种群净生殖率、平均世代周期、内禀增长率、周限增长率和种群加倍时间与同色型对照差异显著(P0.05),但红绿色型间种群参数差异不显著(P0.05)。     

CO2激光对蚕豆诱变效应试验研究

７０年代以来,全国已有２０多个省市,近百个单位开展激光在农业上应用的研究,并对２０多种作物２００多个品种进行激光育种的研究。试验表明：激光在刺激作物生长,早熟增产以及诱发变异、改良品种等都有一定的效果,并培育出一些新品种应用于生产。然而,激光对作物的作用机制,特别是遗传机理方面的研究报道尚少。本试验目的是探讨ＣＯ２激光对蚕豆根尖细胞染色体畸变的影响及田间农艺性状的变异情况,分析细胞染色体畸变与农艺性状变异的相关性及其遗传传递情况,为作物激光诱变育种提供依据。本试验采用功率密度为３９４ｍＷ／ｃｍ２的ＣＯ２激光照射蚕豆萌动种子,观察其对蚕豆根尖细胞染色体畸变及幼苗生长的影响,探讨ＣＯ２激光照射后蚕豆植株农艺性状的变异及其遗传传递情况。试验结果表明：ＣＯ２激光不同时间照射蚕豆萌动种子,均能使根尖细胞产生染色体畸变,且畸变类型相似;同时,对Ｌ１幼苗生长有明显的抑制作用,Ｌ２植株高度、分枝数及结荚数等农艺性状均产生不同程度的变异。其中分枝数这一性状的变异能传递给Ｌ３,其余性状的变异则属生理损伤所致。     

Modeling of the forest insect population size: a game theory approach

A game theory model of insect population dynamics is proposed. For the case when the population may be in one of two states: when physiological processes are directed to growth and reproduction, and when physiological processes are directed to the development of defense reactions, outbreaks of mass reproduction of insect populations may occur in conditions when population and environment have the "memory", and the state of population and environment depends on their state at the previous time moment. In the framework of the model, the well known effect of insect phase variation during the outbreak of reproduction is explained.     

Application of DL-beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) as a root drench to legumes inhibits the growth and reproduction of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

DL-beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is an effective inducer of resistance against a variety of plant pathogens. However, examples of BABA-induced resistance against insect herbivores have not been reported. We applied BABA as a soil drench to legumes and monitored its effects on the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris). On tic bean (Vicia faba var. minor), BABA increased aphid mortality, caused a reduction in the mean relative growth rate of individual insects and lessened the intrinsic rate of population increase (rm). BABA also caused significant reductions in the growth rate of A. pisum on pea (Pisum sativa), broad bean (Vicia faba var. major), runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus), red clover (Trifolium pratense) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa). No direct toxic effects of BABA against A. pisum were found, and no phytotoxic effects that may have caused a reduction in aphid performance were detected. Possible mechanisms behind this BABA-induced inhibition of aphid performance are discussed.     

Travel costs, oviposition behaviour and the dynamics of insect–plant systems

Insect attack can have major consequences for plant population dynamics. We used individually based simulation models to ask how insect oviposition behaviour influences persistence and potential stability of an herbivore–plant system. We emphasised effects on system dynamics of herbivore travel costs and of two kinds of behaviour that might evolve to mitigate travel costs: insect clutch size behaviour (whether eggs are laid singly or in groups) and female aggregation behaviour (whether females prefer or avoid plants already bearing eggs). Travel costs that increase as plant populations drop lead to inverse density dependence of plant reproduction under herbivore attack. Female clutch size and aggregation behaviours also strongly affect system dynamics. When females lay eggs in large clutches or aggregate their clutches, herbivore damage varies strongly among plants, providing probabilistic refuges that permit plant reproduction and persistence. However, the population dynamics depend strongly on whether insect behaviour is fixed or responds adaptively to plant population size: when (and only when) females increase clutch size or aggregation as plants become rare, refuges from herbivory weaken at high plant density, creating inverse density dependence in plant reproduction. Both herbivore travel costs themselves, and also insect behaviour that might evolve in response to travel costs, can thus create plant density dependence—a basic requirement for regulation of plant populations by their insect herbivores.     

A comparison of SCE test in human lymphocytes and Vicia faba: a hopeful technique using plants to detect mutagens and carcinogens

A comparison of the Vicia faba SCE with the human lymphocyte SCE test was made with regard to their capacity to detect mutagens. Twelve chemical agents that can induce sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in both Vicia faba root tip cells and human lymphocytes were used. The results indicate that the plant SCE technique is a sensitive test for screening various chemical agents including food preservatives, pesticides and essences which may have mutagenic activity. A new simplified procedure was introduced for differential staining of sister chromatids in Vicia faba.     

Action of some micronutrients on the infestation and yield components of faba bean by the aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Aphididae, Homoptera) and the leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Agromyzidae, Diptera)

Field experiments were carried out in the two growing seasons of 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 on faba bean (Vicia faba) plants in the Experimental Farm of Agriculture Research Station at Nubaria region, Alexandria, which is considered as a newly reclaimed calcareous soil. The present investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of spraying faba bean plants with certain micronutrients, i.e. Iron, Manganese and Zinc either in single double or triple combinations on the infestation by the aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Aphididae, Homoptera) and the leaf miner, Liriomyza trfolü (Burgess) (Agromyzidae, Diptera). The infestation by these insects was assessed using the parameters of Infestation grades as well as the injury indices. Faba bean plants cv. Giza Blanca were sprayed twice (45 and 66 days) after planting with the above-mentioned micronutrients. However, results of this investigation showed, with no doubt, that Mn, Zn and Fe individually or in double or triple combinations have increased to varied extents the infestation rates (%) of faba bean plants compared to the untreated ones. Such varied increases were mainly due to the metabolic roles of the used foliar sprays and their interactions, which indirectly affect the physio-biological actions of plants that may render them suitable for either A. craccivora or L. trifoii reproduction. This phenomenon might be also due to the different environmental factors. In both seasons, the relationship between nutrients applications and pests Infestation followed the same trend of increase in the percentages of infested plants. This assures and confirms the constant metabolic roles of such micronutrients. The biological seed weight (ton/fed.) was positively affected by the application of the used micronutrients. It is worth mentioning that the maximum response was observed in case of the triple treatment followed by the double and single treatments in a descending order. Application of the investigated micronutrients alone or in mixtures resulted in significant increases in yield and its components. Such increases were due to the fact that ions of Zn, Fe and Mn are cofactors of several enzymes, but rarely if ever with a high degree of specificity.     

Reciprocal effects of host plant and natural enemy diversity on herbivore suppression: an empirical study of a model tritrophic system

Many theoretical and empirical studies have shown that species diversity in a trophic level can impact the capture of limited resources in ways that cascade up or down a food web. Only recently, however, have ecologists begun to consider how diversity at multiple trophic levels might act in concert to have opposing or reinforcing effects on resource use. Here, we report the results of an empirical study of a model, tritrophic food web in which we manipulated the diversity of host plant species ( Medicago sativa , Trifolium pratense and Vicia faba ) and natural enemy species ( Harmonia axyridis , Coleomegilla maculata and Nabis sp.) of a widespread herbivorous pest (the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum ) in laboratory microcosms. We found that increasing natural enemy richness from one to three species increased the proportion of aphids consumed by 0.14. This effect of enemy diversity was due to facilitative interactions and/or a reduction in intraspecific competition in the more diverse assemblages. We also found an independent and additive main effect of host plant richness, with the proportion of aphids consumed by natural enemies decreasing by 0.14 in plant polycultures. A reduction in predator efficiency on a single host plant, Vicia faba , appeared to be responsible for this plant diversity effect. Aphid population sizes were, therefore, simultaneously determined by a top-down effect of natural enemy diversity, and an opposing bottom-up effect of host plant diversity that modified enemy–prey interactions. These results suggest that population sizes in nature, and biotic controls over insect pests, are influenced by species diversity at multiple trophic levels.
