蓟马锉吸胁迫对垂叶榕叶片表面超微结构及其蛋白质和氨基酸含量的影响

为明确蓟马锉吸胁迫对垂叶榕Ficus benjamina Linn.叶片的表面超微结构及蛋白质和氨基酸含量的影响, 以蓟马危害垂叶榕不同等级叶片为对象, 应用扫描电镜观察了其表面超微结构变化, 通过氨基酸自动分析仪等检测了氨基酸及蛋白质含量。结果表明： 垂叶榕叶片受蓟马锉吸为害后, 表面超微结构发生明显改变, 蜡质层破裂, 表皮细胞损伤, 气孔功能渐失, 影响叶片功能与整体观感。蓟马锉吸胁迫因子对垂叶榕叶片蛋白质含量产生了极显著影响(P<0.01), 各危害等级处理叶片两两间蛋白质含量的差异性不同。与0级叶片相比, 锉吸叶片中蛋白质含量均出现了不同程度的下降, 其中, 1级叶片中下降最快, 随后蛋白质含量下降明显变缓, 甚至在危害最重的4级叶片中, 蛋白质含量出现了小幅提高。氨基酸中有蓟马必需氨基酸（essential amino acid, EAA）9种和非必需氨基酸（non-essential amino acid, NEAA）8种。在同一危害等级叶片中, 17种氨基酸的含量存在明显差异, 可划分为3个层级, 但它们含量排序相对稳定; 在不同危害等级叶片中, 各种氨基酸的含量随叶片危害等级的提高而变化, 两者紧密关联。TAA（总氨基酸total amino acids）, EAA和NEAA含量均随蓟马危害等级的提高而呈现不同幅度的下降, 2级和3级叶片中的降幅明显; 17种氨基酸的含量则有不同程度的变化, 大部分随危害叶片等级的提高而下降, 2级叶片中降幅最大, Arg, Lys和Met 3种EAA与Asp, Cys, Ser和Tyr 4种NEAA则不同, 在某些等级叶片中出现一定幅度的提高。本研究可为定量描述蓟马对垂叶榕叶片功能效益损失提供参考。

Golden Princess等3种榕属植物的为害等级均达3级以上, 以垂叶榕最重, 榕树次之, 花叶垂叶榕略轻; 对金叶榕F. microcarpa cv. Golden Leaves、 黑叶橡胶榕F. elastica cv. Deocora Burgundy、 斑叶橡胶榕F. elastica var. variegata等3种榕属植物的为害很轻, 为害等级均仅为1级; 同时, 榕管蓟马在金叶榕、 黑叶橡胶榕和斑叶橡胶榕上繁殖力弱、 无法完成世代, 而在榕树、 垂叶榕和花叶垂叶榕上繁殖力强、 能完成世代, 但以在垂叶榕上的发育情况最好。研究可为选择利用寄主植物抗虫性来有效防控盆栽榕树蓟马提供技术支撑。     

垂叶榕榕管蓟马空间分布型及其抽样模型

榕管蓟马（Gynaikothrips uzeli）是观赏植物垂叶榕（Ficus benjamina）的重要害虫。通过对垂叶榕不同方位和高度的随机取样,运用5种聚集度指标以及Taylor幂法和Iwao回归模型分析和测定了榕管蓟马的种群空间格局。结果表明：榕管蓟马虫瘿主要分布于垂叶榕的中、下层,且下层4个方位的虫口密度差异均不显著。榕管蓟马虫瘿在垂叶榕上的理论分布型符合负二项分布,各项聚集度指标均满足CA＞1、IDM＞0、m*/m＞1,且0＜K＜8,表明该蓟马在垂叶榕上的空间分布型为聚集分布,其聚集分布的原因与自身营虫瘿生活及喜阴习性有关。应用Iwao理论抽样模型确定了榕管蓟马不同种群密度与不同精度要求下的理论抽样数。

广东省榕树虫瘿蓟马种类及营瘿蓟马寄主专一性调查

2013年对广东地区榕树虫瘿中的蓟马种类进行了调查,共发现榕母管蓟马Gynaikothrips ficorum(Marchal)、榕管蓟马Gynaikothrips uzeli(Zimmerman)、榕端宽管蓟马Mesothrips jordani Zimmermann、拉马棘腿管蓟马Androthrips ramachandrai Karny和黄胫棘腿管蓟马Androthrips monsterae(Moulton)5种管蓟马科种类,其中黄胫棘腿管蓟马为中国新纪录种。榕母管蓟马和榕管蓟马为营瘿蓟马,诱导初始虫瘿具有寄主专一性,榕母管蓟马是细叶榕Ficus microcarpa初始虫瘿的诱导者,而榕管蓟马仅在垂叶榕Ficus benjamina Linn.上诱导形成虫瘿;但当两种榕树种植在一起时,榕母管蓟马和榕管蓟马偶尔会入侵到对方成熟虫瘿中并与之生活在一起。榕端宽管蓟马属于盗寄生种类,而拉马棘腿管蓟马和黄胫棘腿管蓟马主要捕食营瘿蓟马的幼体(包括卵、若虫和"蛹"),三者均为寄居性蓟马,无寄主专一性。     

八角叶片提取物对榕管蓟马成虫的生物活性

本文采用"Y"型管法和三角瓶熏蒸法研究了八角叶的4种溶剂提取物对榕管蓟马成虫的驱避和杀虫作用。结果表明,八角叶的4种溶剂提取物对榕管蓟马成虫均具有驱避和杀虫作用。其中,丙酮、无水乙醇和乙酸乙酯3种溶剂提取物的驱避和杀虫作用较强,浓度为1.60mg/cm2处理的驱避等级均达到Ⅳ级,而相同浓度石油醚提取物的驱避等级仅为Ⅱ级。在杀虫活性方面,用3.54mg/cm2提取物处理36h后,榕管蓟马成虫的校正死亡率除石油醚提取物外均达93.67%以上。另外,八角叶4种溶剂提取物对榕管蓟马成虫的LC50测定表明,丙酮提取物对榕管蓟马成虫的杀虫效果最好。本文结果将为榕管蓟马成虫的防治及植物源杀虫剂的开发提供实验基础。     

苜蓿叶片水杨酸含量与其蓟马抗性的关系

采用不同抗蓟马特性的苜蓿品系,于不同蓟马虫口密度下测定苜蓿水杨酸含量和虫害程度,以明确苜蓿叶片水杨酸含量与其抗蓟马特性的关系.结果表明,苜蓿叶片游离态、结合态水杨酸含量均与苜蓿抗蓟马特性密切相关;高抗品系(抗蓟马品系)的水杨酸初始含量(0.539 mg·g-1)高于低抗品系(0.403 mg·g-1);与较低抗品系相比,高抗品系受害器官(叶)水杨酸含量随虫口密度和危害点面积的增大而增加相对缓慢,而随危害指数的增大而增加较快(3.84倍).可见,水杨酸主要是间接增强苜蓿对蓟马的抗性;高抗蓟马苜蓿品系能通过快速获得较高水杨酸含量来阻碍被危害伤口的扩大,降低其受危害程度,促使自身产量和品质提高.

Leaf damage and prey type determine search effort in Orius tristicolor

Components of search effort were determined for adult females of Orius tristicolor (White) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) on bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., leaves with either western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) or twospotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) as prey. In the absence of prey, females of O. tristicolor allocated significantly more search time to leaves damaged by western flower thrips than to leaves damaged by twospotted spider mites, artificially damaged leaves or undamaged leaves. In the presence of prey, search time increased with increasing amounts of leaf damage for both prey species, but was not affected by prey species. Amounts of leaf damage or type of prey did not affect giving-up-time. The proportion of predators that successfully located thrips increased with increasing amounts of thrips damage on leaves. Females of O. tristicolor appeared to follow some simple, behavioural rules-of-thumb for allocation of search effort. The presence and type of damage determined the initial effort allocated to searching a leaf. Subsequent effort was determined by successful capture of prey, regardless of species. The implications of these results for application of Orius spp. for biological control are discussed.     

Pine pollen dehiscence relative to thrips population dynamics

A two‐part study related tree pollen dehiscence and thrips population dynamics in the field, and directly evaluated effects of pine pollen deposition on Frankliniella spp. (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) reproduction on tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum L. (Solanaceae), under laboratory conditions. Ambient pollen and thrips were monitored in Tift County, GA, USA, from early spring to late summer/early fall from 2005 to 2008. Correlation analyses were conducted using weekly means of thrips collected on sticky traps compared to weekly pollen counts from a Burkard air sampler and pollen deposition sheets. There were significant positive correlations between pollen and thrips counts on later dates, suggesting that if a relationship exists between pine pollen dehiscence and thrips population dynamics, it will be delayed. Over all years combined, the first spring time peak in Frankliniella fusca (Hinds) counts on sticky traps occurred at 227 accumulated degree days (dd) after the first peak in pine pollen, approximately the dd required to complete a single F. fusca generation. Two subsequent thrips peaks occurred at approximately one and two F. fusca generations following the first peak. After 10 weeks following the final peak in pollen, there appears to be no more effect of pollen on thrips population dynamics. A tobacco leaf, lightly dusted with Slash pine [Pinus elliottii Engelmann (Pinaceae)] pollen to mimic natural deposition, showed a significant increase in the number of offspring produced per Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and F. fusca female. The total offspring produced increased five‐fold in F. fusca and 22‐fold in F. occidentalis in 15 days on the pollen‐treated leaves over the untreated leaves.     

Genetic variation in chrysanthemum for resistance toFrankliniella occidentalis

In a choice-experiment, 42 chrysanthemum cultivars were screened for resistance toFrankliniella occidentalis (Pergande). Oviposition preference, two types of feeding damage and thrips numbers per flower were recorded as measures of resistance. A large genetic variation in thrips resistance was found among the cultivars screened. The amount of feeding damage was strongly determined by oviposition preference. Besides, a positive correlation was found between the oviposition preference in non-flowering chrysanthemums (number of eggs) and flowering chrysanthemums (number of thrips per flower). Thrips feeding on young, developing tissues, causes growth damage because affected cells are unable to expand and leaves become distorted. Thrips feeding on older, expanded leaves causes cells to become filled with air, resulting in ‘silver’ damage. The amounts of growth-and ‘silver’ damage were negatively correlated suggesting that thrips chose either young or older leaves to feed on. The order of resistance among cultivars did not change during the experiment. In order to get more insight in resistance mechanisms the influence of some plant- and flower characters on resistance was examined. The plant characters height, number of leaves, flower production and flower weight were all negatively correlated with resistance. It is suggested that tall chrysanthemum cultivars with many and large flowers may invest less in defence than smaller cultivars, and therefore are more damaged by thrips.     

Wax as a Mechanism for Protection against Photoinhibition — A Study of Cotyledon orbiculata

The leaves of the Crassulacean acid metabolism plant Cotyledon orbiculata have a waxy coating which is highly reflective but can be easily removed by brushing. This provided an ideal system in which to investigate the role of epidermal wax as a possible photoprotectant. Removal of the wax, prior to exposure to natural sunlight, resulted in substantial decreases in F_v/F_m and in severe cases evidence of photoinhibitory damage, as indicated by a rise in F_o. Leaves from which wax had been removed also showed higher conversion of violaxanthin to zeaxanthin than waxed leaves. Recovery of brushed leaves over a 12 day period was correlated with an increase in the total pool of xanthophyll cycle components. This study suggests that the presence of highly reflective wax on the epidermis may confer significant photoprotection to plants exposed to high solar radiation environments.

Is Xysticus kochi (Araneae: Thomisidae) an efficient indigenous biocontrol agent of Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)?

According to the present practice of Hungarian greenhouse sweet pepper production, only exotic agents are used for biological control purposes against thrips pests. The suitability for biological control of the second instars of an indigenous species, the common crab spider, Xysticus kochi Thorell (Araneae: Thomisidae) was tested on thrips species, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and Frankliniella intonsa (Trybom) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) using a cage set-up on greenhouse sweet pepper plants. Effects of introducing second instars of X. kochi on thrips infested plants were judged by assessing the degree of aesthetical damage, the commercial value of the fruits (degree of economic loss) and the quality composition of the harvested peppers. The estimated damaged surface unit was significantly lower in control plants than in plants infested by F. occidentalis. A significant effect of the spider introduction was observed in all of the pepper quality indicators applied. We suspect that direct Xysticus predation or any other predator-induced effect resulted in reduced levels of damage on harvested peppers. However, further investigation is needed to detect the origin (e.g., predation and non-predation effects) of the suppression of thrips damage. Our results suggest that X. kochi could be an effective component of greenhouse antagonistic fauna and the application of mulch may encourage the effectiveness of spiderlings.

Influence of salicylaldehyde and methyl salicylate on post-landing behaviour of Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande

This study investigates behavioural responses of adult western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande; Thysan., Thripidae) females to direct contact with repellent phenylpropanoid plant compounds (salicylaldehyde and methyl salicylate) applied on bean and cucumber leaves. The residence time of F. occidentalis females until take off was significantly shorter on bean or cucumber leaf discs treated with salicylaldehyde at 1% concentration compared with control leaf discs. A methyl salicylate (1%) treatment of cucumber resulted in shorter time periods until thrips took off the treated leaf discs compared with the control leaf discs. In a choice experiment thrips avoided to settle on a 1% salicylaldehyde treatment of bean and cucumber leaf discs for a maximum of 3 h, on a 1% methyl salicylate treatment for a 5‐h period. Within a 24‐h period neither the egg‐laying nor the feeding activity of F. occidentalis was affected after salicylaldehyde application (0.1%, 1%) on bean or cucumber. In contrast, methyl salicylate (1%) applied on bean and cucumber significantly prevented thrips females from oviposition and reduced the percentage of damaged area caused by their feeding activity for 24 h. As olfactory repellent plant volatiles applied on crop plants may elicit diverse post‐landing responses of F. occidentalis, short‐ and long‐term effects should be considered when evaluating the factual applicability of secondary plant compounds in a successful thrips management strategy.     

Slippery surfaces of carnivorous plants: composition of epicuticular wax crystals in<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Nepenthes alata</Emphasis> Blanco pitchers

Plants in the genus Nepenthes obtain a substantial nutrient supply by trapping insects in highly modified leaves. A broad zone of the inner surface of these pitchers is densely covered with wax crystals on which most insects lose their footing. This slippery wax surface, capturing prey and preventing its escape from the trap, plays a pivotal role in the carnivorous syndrome. To understand the mechanism of slipperiness, the present investigation aimed at an ultrastructural and physico-chemical characterization of the wax crystals in pitchers of N. alata Blanco. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that entire platelets protruded perpendicularly from the surface. Methods were developed that allowed the mechanical removal of wax crystals from the pitcher surface. It could be shown that the sampling was selective for the epicuticular wax, relevant for plant–insect interactions. The crystals consisted of a mixture of aliphatic compounds dominated by very-long-chain aldehydes. Triacontanal, at 43% the most abundant constituent, was largely responsible for crystal formation. Solubility data indicate that the Nepenthes crystals contained polymeric forms of this aldehyde. The resulting mechanical properties of the polymer crystals and the mechanism of slipperiness are discussed.Abbreviation SEM scanning electron microscopy     

盐胁迫对槲树(Quercus dentata)幼苗离子平衡及其生理生化特性的影响

检测NaCl胁迫对槲树（Quercus dentata）幼苗离子平衡和生理生化特性的影响,为揭示槲树的耐盐机理,其在园林中的推广应用提供参考。以一年生槲树实生苗作为实验材料,经100、200、300 mmol/L的NaCl溶液浇灌处理30 d,测定不同时间的离子含量和生理生化指标变化。结果表明,随NaCl浓度的增加和处理的时间延长,槲树各指标表现出以下规律：（1）根茎叶积累大量Na⁺,引起离子毒害,导致叶片受损,根系Na⁺含量显著高于地上部分,这种补偿作用有助于减轻地上部分受到的损害;（2）各部分K⁺含量降低,根部较茎叶更为显著,导致Na⁺/K⁺明显升高;（3）Ca²⁺由根部向地上部分转运,在叶片中浓度显著增加,有助于建立新的离子稳态;（4）Mg²⁺含量总体上呈降低趋势;（5）叶片含水量逐渐降低,丙二醛含量和相对电导率逐步升高,且在重度胁迫下的变化更显著;（6）轻度盐胁迫下,叶片过氧化物酶（POD）活性无显著变化,而过氧化氢酶（CAT）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性逐渐升高,在重度胁迫下3种酶活性出现降低;（7）脯氨酸和可溶性糖少量积累,辅助调节渗透平衡。总之,槲树幼苗能够通过调控离子平衡,提升抗氧化酶活性,积累渗透调节物,从而提高耐盐性,抵御200 mmol/L以下的NaCl胁迫。
