桉树枝瘿姬小蜂入侵海南省

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂Leptocybe invasa Fisher ＆ La Salle是一种新入侵的有害生物,专一危害桉属植物。近几年在地中海、非洲、中东和东南亚陆续发生,2007年中国大陆首次发现该虫,2008年7月发现其在海南发生。通过调查,目前在海南省分布在以三亚市、东方市和儋州市为中心的2个圆弧形区域,中心点危害较为严重,植株生长严重受阻。文章介绍桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的鉴别特征、生物学特性、在海南的发现及扩散过程和防控建议。     

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂产卵行为研究

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂Leptocybe invasa Fisher&La Salle喜好在桉属(Eucalyptus)植物的新生部位产卵。本研究以尾赤桉为寄主研究其产卵模式发现,当天羽化且没有产卵经验的雌成虫在经过寄主识别(116.87 s)和寄主评估(208.27 s)后即进行产卵循环(平均5.87次),每个产卵循环产2粒卵,且搜索行为的发生一般伴随产卵位置的变换。在被观察的15头雌成虫中,平均每头产卵13.60粒,每次产卵持续17.31 s。在产卵过程中,其刺探行为所占总时间的比例和发生频次最大,而静息行为最小。在不同寄主植物间,桉树枝瘿姬小蜂喜好在尾赤桉的叶柄和叶脉处产卵,且2个部位间无显著性差异,而在尾叶桉、巨尾桉、隆缘桉和小果灰桉上,其喜好在叶柄处产卵且显著大于其它2个部位。

五种桉树对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的抗性研究

本文通过室内网室接虫,以感虫株率、株平均虫瘿数、单株最多虫瘿数和感虫速度4个指标,评价了5种桉树对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂Leptocybe invasa Fisher&La Salle的抗性.结果表明:在人工接种16 d、22 d和25 d后,DH201-2、GL9和邓恩桉分别出现明显的虫瘿,DH32-29和JGI在接种后的40 d内均未出现感虫症状.经方差分析表明,供试的5种桉树对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的抗性有显著差异,其抗性序列由大到小为:DH32-29=JG1>邓恩桉>GL9>DH201-2.     

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的耐寒性测定

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂Leptocybe invasa Fisher&LaSalle是一种新入侵的检疫性有害生物,为了明确其对极端低温的耐受性,以了解其适生范围,测定了桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫、蛹、成虫及不同地区、不同寄主条件下雌雄成虫以及广东、广西、海南3省6地越冬幼虫12—3月的过冷却点和冰点。结果表明,不同虫态的过冷却点和冰点由低到高顺序为:蛹<幼虫<成虫。蛹的过冷却点和冰点分别为(-24.93±0.10)℃、(-22.81±0.14)℃,成虫的过冷却点和冰点为(-20.93±0.24)℃和(-17.33±0.27)℃。随着纬度的升高,桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的过冷却点和冰点都呈现降低的趋势。海南地区不同寄主桉树枝瘿姬小蜂过冷却点从低到高的顺序排列为:湛-201<小叶桉<广林9号。在12—3月,桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的越冬幼虫过冷却点和冰点随着环境温度的升高而升高,以广东广州地区1月份的越冬幼虫过冷却点和冰点为最低,其数值分别为(-25.44±0.17)℃和(-24.04±0.21)℃,个体过冷却点的最低值为-26.9℃。由实验结果可知,桉树枝瘿姬小蜂蛹和幼虫的耐寒力最强,以幼虫和蛹越冬。地区、寄主、温度对其耐寒力均有显著的影响,而且其有向现疫区以北的区域扩散的潜能。     

新入侵种桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的危险性评估

采用GARP生态位模型预测分析桉树枝瘿姬小蜂Leptocybeinvasa Fisher&La Salle在中国的潜在地理分布,并参照国际上有害生物危险性定量分析方法,对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂在中国的危险性作出综合评价。结果表明:中国东南部大部分地区都是该虫的适生区,该虫在我国潜在分布区风险评估R值为2.14,存在高度危险性。据此提出针对性的风险管理措施。

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫林间化学防治试验

选用70%吡虫啉水分散粒剂、40%毒死蜱乳油、25%噻虫嗪水分散粒剂以及这3种农药的混配剂,分别稀释成5、10、20倍液,采用注干法对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫进行林间药效试验。试验表明,施药30 d后,相同浓度的不同药剂对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫的校正死亡率则存在极显著差异。混配剂5倍液的防治效果最好,在30 d内对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫的校正死亡率为81.63%。施药后5～10 d,桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫的死亡率增长速度最快;施药10 d后,死亡率的增长速度明显变缓。同一种药剂的浓度越高,对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂幼虫的致死时间越短。

对尾叶桉60个无性系进行了生长量和桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的敏感性调查。结果表明, 生长性状在无性系单株间存在显著的相关性,而尾叶桉受姬小蜂的危害情况与生长性状间无显著相关性。对遗传参数的估算表明, 尾叶桉无性系抗桉树枝瘿姬小蜂水平有较高的重复力,可以通过无性系选择获得抗蜂、速生的尾叶桉无性系。最终通过独立淘汰法选择出6个优良的尾叶桉无性系。     

桉树枝瘿姬小蜂虫瘿解剖特征与寄主叶片生理指标的变化

采用人工接蜂、桉树组织石蜡切片和生化组分测定等方法研究了桉树受桉树枝瘿姬小蜂诱导后的生理生化响应机制.结果表明:DH201-2叶柄角质层厚度和油囊数量均较GL-UG9的厚、多,且差异均达到极显著水平(P角质层厚度=0.00001 ＜0.01,P油囊数量=0.00209＜0.01),但是GL-UG9叶柄表皮细胞厚度和维管束数量均较DH201-2厚、多,差异分别达到显著水平(P=0.015215＜0.05)和极显著水平(P=0.002375＜0.01),DH201-2茎皮层薄壁细胞厚度、油囊直径、维管束数量较GL-UG9厚、多,差异分别为显著(P皮层薄壁细胞厚度=0.04071 ＜0.05)、极显著(P油囊直径=000016＜0.05)、极显著(P维管束数量=0.00000＜0.01).而GLUG9茎角质层和表皮细胞厚度均较DH201-2厚,差异达到了极显著水平(P角质层厚度=0.00167,P表皮细胞厚度=0.00000＜0.01);桉树枝瘿姬小蜂虫瘿为组织瘿,由内到外可以分为:营养组织层、薄/厚壁组织层、维管束层、皮层、表皮等结构;接种桉树枝瘿姬小蜂成虫后,桉树叶片可溶性总糖、游离氨基酸、叶绿素含量均升高,差异达到了极显著水平(P＜0.01),但是蛋白质、pH值、类黄酮、总酚的变化没有达到显著水平(P＞0.05);吲哚乙酸氧化酶、过氧化物、过氧化氢酶活力均有不同程度的升高.研究显示桉树枝瘿姬小蜂入侵诱导了桉树一系列的生理生化变化,实验结果为抗桉树枝瘿姬小蜂桉树无性系的选育技术体系构建提供了理论基础.     

伴生细菌在入侵种桉树枝瘿姬小蜂克服桉树抗性中的作用

【目的】桉树枝瘿姬小蜂是我国近年来发现的一种主要危害桉属树种的外来有害生物。本研究旨在通过探究中国桉树枝瘿姬小蜂主要伴生细菌在桉树枝瘿姬小蜂成功定殖中的作用。【方法】测定不同抗性品系桉树的次生代谢物质黄酮和单宁的含量以及易感品系桉树在枝瘿姬小蜂危害前后的含量变化。通过体外抑菌和化学物质降解实验,探究桉树枝瘿姬小蜂主要伴生细菌对抗虫性物质黄酮和单宁的耐受性及降解能力。【结果】抗性品系桉树的黄酮和单宁的含量明显高于易感品系,易感品系在桉树枝瘿姬小蜂危害后黄酮和单宁的含量显著提高;高浓度的黄酮和单宁会抑制桉树枝瘿姬小蜂伴生细菌的生长,在中低浓度黄酮和单宁的条件下,主要伴生细菌能够适应,并继续繁殖;桉树枝瘿姬小蜂伴生细菌具有一定的降解黄酮和单宁的能力,其中细菌Staphylococcus cohnii降解黄酮的能力比Pseudomonas geniculate稍强,而Bacillus wiedannii、Serratia macescens对单宁具有较强的降解能力。【结论】桉树枝瘿姬小蜂侵染桉树后,可以诱导桉树产生抗性,桉树产生大量的次生代谢物质来抵御桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的危害,而桉树枝瘿姬小蜂部分伴生细菌可降解桉树次生代谢物质来帮助小蜂克服植物抗性完成定殖。

桉树杂交种对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的抗性变异分析

植物种间杂交是一种普遍自然现象,杂交往往造成植物表型及生理变异,从而改变杂种抗虫性。与亲本种相比,杂种抗虫性可能增强或减弱,也有可能处于与亲本相似水平。初生、次生代谢物的质变与量变是引起杂种抗虫性变异的重要原因。近年来,桉树杂交育种已在世界范围内广泛应用并取得了显著成效,桉树杂交种间抗虫性表现参差不齐,因此,桉树是研究杂交种抗虫性变异机制的理想材料。以2个桉树杂交种巨细桉DH201-2、巨尾桉G9及桉树重要害虫桉树枝瘿姬小蜂为研究对象,比较了2个杂交种与其纯亲本种[(巨桉×细叶桉),(巨桉×尾叶桉)]间的抗虫性差异;同时,综合比较了品系间叶片性状(叶片厚度、含水率、比叶面积)、初生化合物(C、N、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白)及次生化合物(总酚、单宁)差异,以研究桉树杂交种抗虫性变异的理化机制。结果表明:DH201-2感染桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的虫瘿数目显著高于其双亲本种,而G9上虫瘿数目显著低于其双亲本种。DH201-2与G9的叶片厚度与巨桉相近,而显著薄于另一亲本种。DH201-2叶片含水率显著高于细叶桉、与巨桉相近;G9叶片含水率则显著低于其双亲本种。相似的是,DH201-2和G9的比叶面积均显著高于其双亲本种。初生化合物方面,DH201-2叶片可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量均显著高于其亲本种,N含量则仅高于细叶桉;而G9叶片可溶性蛋白含量虽高于其双亲本种,可溶性糖含量则无显著差异,N含量显著低于其双亲本种。次生化合物方面,DH201-2叶片总酚和单宁含量显著低于其双亲本种,而G9则显著高于其双亲本种。因此,与其亲本种相比,DH201-2感虫性增加,而G9抗虫性增加;与桉树枝瘿姬小蜂发育相关的营养指标(如含水率、可溶性糖、N含量)及次生防御物质(如总酚、缩合单宁)在桉树杂交种组织内的含量差异影响了桉树杂交种对桉树枝瘿姬小蜂的抗性。在全球推行桉树杂交育种且桉树害虫数量逐年增加的大背景下,应加强对桉树杂交种抗虫性机制研究,为选育高抗品系及桉树产业可持续发展提供理论指导。

Semicircular canal system in early primates

Mammals with more rapid and agile locomotion have larger semicircular canals relative to body mass than species that move more slowly. Measurements of semicircular canals in extant mammals with known locomotor behaviours can provide a basis for testing hypotheses about locomotion in fossil primates that is independent of postcranial remains, and a means of reconstructing locomotor behaviour in species known only from cranial material. Semicircular canal radii were measured using ultra high resolution X-ray CT data for 9 stem primates (“plesiadapiforms”; n = 11), 7 adapoids (n = 12), 4 omomyoids (n = 5), and the possible omomyoid Rooneyia viejaensis (n = 1). These were compared with a modern sample (210 species including 91 primates) with known locomotor behaviours. The predicted locomotor agilities for extinct primates generally follow expectations based on known postcrania for those taxa. “Plesiadapiforms” and adapids have relatively small semicircular canals, suggesting they practiced less agile locomotion than other fossil primates in the sample, which is consistent with reconstructions of them as less specialized for leaping. The derived notharctid adapoids (excluding Cantius) and all omomyoids sampled have relatively larger semicircular canals, suggesting that they were more agile, with Microchoerus in particular being reconstructed as having had very jerky locomotion with relatively high magnitude accelerations of the head. Rooneyia viejaensis is reconstructed as having been similarly agile to omomyids and derived notharctid adapoids, which suggests that when postcranial material is found for this species it will exhibit features for some leaping behaviour, or for a locomotor mode requiring a similar degree of agility.

Analysis of the molecular cascade responsible for mesodermal limb chondrogenesis: Sox genes and BMP signaling

Here, we have studied how Sox genes and BMP signaling are functionally coupled during limb chondrogenesis. Using the experimental model of TGFbeta1-induced interdigital digits, we dissect the sequence of morphological and molecular events during in vivo chondrogenesis. Our results show that Sox8 and Sox9 are the most precocious markers of limb cartilage, and their induction is independent and precedes the activation of BMP signaling. Sox10 appears also to cooperate with Sox9 and Sox8 in the establishment of the digit cartilages. In addition, we show that experimental induction of Sox gene expression in the interdigital mesoderm is accompanied by loss of the apoptotic response to exogenous BMPs. L-Sox5 and Sox6 are respectively induced coincident and after the expression of Bmpr1b in the prechondrogenic aggregate, and their activation correlates with the induction of Type II Collagen and Aggrecan genes in the differentiating cartilages. The expression of Bmpr1b precedes the appearance of morphological changes in the prechondrogenic aggregate and establishes a landmark from which the maintenance of the expression of all Sox genes and the progress of cartilage differentiation becomes dependent on BMPs. Moreover, we show that Ventroptin precedes Noggin in the modulation of BMP activity in the developing cartilages. In summary, our findings suggest that Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 have a cooperative function conferring chondrogenic competence to limb mesoderm in response to BMP signals. In turn, BMPs in concert with Sox9, Sox6, and L-Sox5 would be responsible for the execution and maintenance of the cartilage differentiation program.
