利用生命表评价白蛾周氏啮小蜂对美国白蛾的控制作用

为了研究白蛾周氏啮小蜂对侵入性害虫-美国白蛾的控制作用,在山东省烟台市美国白蛾发生区,选择美国白蛾发生程度中等的两块样地,一块样地作为释放白蛾周氏啮小蜂防治美国白蛾的防治区,另一块样地作为对照区。应用生命表技术,连续2年共4代对美国白蛾种群数量进行定点观察。防治区每代美国白蛾在化蛹初期和化蛹盛期各放蜂1次,即每代美国白蛾共放蜂2次。将2年的第1代和第2代观测数据分别综合平均,制成4个生命表。结果表明,在放蜂防治区,第1代和第2代美国白蛾的种群趋势指数（I）分别为0.29和0.14,说明下代美国白蛾种群数量将急剧下降;放蜂区的I值显著小于对照区的8.74和4.48。生命表研究结果清楚地表明,通过人工释放白蛾周氏啮小蜂能够达到良好的控制美国白蛾的效果。     

白蛾周氏啮小蜂毒液对美国白蛾蛹血细胞免疫的影响

【目的】明确白蛾周氏啮小蜂Chouioia cunea毒液对其寄主美国白蛾Hyphantria cunea蛹细胞免疫的影响。【方法】采用Na_2-EDTA分离美国白蛾蛹颗粒细胞,尼龙毛法分离浆血细胞,再利用细胞离体培养法,测评了白蛾周氏啮小蜂毒液对寄主美国白蛾两种血细胞包囊作用和吞噬作用的影响。【结果】美国白蛾颗粒细胞的包囊指数强于浆血细胞。白蛾周氏啮小蜂毒液对颗粒细胞和浆血细胞的包囊指数均有明显的抑制作用,毒液浓度越大,抑制作用越强,两种血细胞的包囊作用均呈先增长后降低的趋势。在所有浓度毒液处理下,颗粒细胞的包囊指数在12 h时最强。未经小蜂毒液处理的浆血细胞包囊指数在15 h时达到最强,但经浓度为0.01~0.03 VRE/μL的毒液处理后浆血细胞的包囊指数在12 h时达到最强,而经浓度为0.04~0.10 VRE/μL的毒液处理后包囊指数在9 h时最强。白蛾周氏啮小蜂毒液对美国白蛾蛹颗粒细胞的吞噬作用强于浆血细胞。毒液对两种血细胞的吞噬能力均有明显的抑制作用,但毒液处理对浆血细胞的吞噬作用影响较小。【结论】白蛾周氏啮小蜂毒液可以抑制美国白蛾蛹颗粒细胞和浆血细胞的包囊作用和吞噬作用,且随着毒液浓度的增加,两种血细胞的免疫作用显著下降。     

白蛾周氏啮小蜂气味结合蛋白OBP1与寄主挥发物的分子对接研究

【目的】白蛾周氏啮小蜂为重大入侵害虫美国白蛾的主要天敌。本课题组前期通过转录组测序技术筛选出8个主要在白蛾周氏啮小蜂雌性触角中表达的气味结合蛋白OBPs。然而目前,对这些OBPs的具体结构和功能仍不清楚。因此,选取一个在雌性周氏啮小蜂触角特异表达的气味结合蛋白OBP1,通过分子对接技术模拟寄主挥发物与OBP1的结合情况。【方法】通过Swiss-Model对白蛾周氏啮小蜂气味结合蛋白CcOBP1进行同源建模,获得该蛋白的三维结构。从Pubchem下载γ-丁内酯、邻苯二甲酸二甲酯和萘等11种小分子的三维结构。用Schrodinger Suites 2015-2中的maestro10.2软件进行分子对接。【结果】在11种挥发物中,有3种与CcOBP1结合特性较好的小分子物质,分别是γ-丁内酯、邻苯二甲酸二甲酯和萘。【结论】白蛾周氏啮小蜂气味结合蛋白CcOBP1与γ-丁内酯、邻苯二甲酸二甲酯和萘结合特性较好,CcOBP1的功能可能与白蛾周氏啮小蜂的趋避效应相关,该结果初步探明了白蛾周氏啮小蜂OBP1的功能,可为白蛾周氏啮小蜂嗅觉分子机制的研究积累数据。     

重大外来入侵害虫——美国白蛾生物防治技术研究

美国白蛾Hyphantria cunea(Drury)是重大外来入侵害虫,对我国林业和园林绿化造成重大危害,尤其是近年来美国白蛾传入北京,严重威胁着我国“绿色奥运”的顺利举办和首都园林绿化及生态环境安全。根据美国白蛾多发生在居民区、乡镇和城市的特点,作者开展对环境安全的生物防治技术研究。汲取前苏联等国家从美国白蛾的原产地引进天敌进行生物防治没有成功的经验和教训,立足调查和寻找我国本土天敌。经过21年的努力,发现和筛选出白蛾周氏啮小蜂Chouioia cunea Yang(新属新种)这种寄生美国白蛾的特优天敌;研究这种小蜂的行为学、生态学、生物学、解剖学及人工大量繁殖、放蜂防治技术;筛选出人工大量繁殖小蜂的替代寄主,解决小蜂的大量繁殖的瓶颈问题;通过放蜂防治试验,取得良好的防治效果。同时,筛选出防治美国白蛾的高毒力HcNPV病毒毒株,研制出美国白蛾人工饲料,利用人工饲料大量饲养美国白蛾幼虫,然后接种扩增病毒,成功解决HcNPV病毒大量扩增生产和常年生产的技术难题,做到病毒的规模化生产和常年生产,保证大面积生产防治的需要和病毒质量。研究出利用天敌昆虫和病原微生物综合应用的防治模式:在美国白蛾幼虫期喷洒HcNPV病毒,蛹期释放白蛾周氏啮小蜂,达到既控制当代美国白蛾的危害,又有效抑制其下代的种群数量,取得长期的持续控制美国白蛾的防治效果。上海市、大连市、烟台市和青岛市利用该项技术已经完全控制美国白蛾,特别是上海市利用本项生物防治技术防治后,已经连续6年没有再发现美国白蛾。由于该项生物防治技术利用的是自然界原有的控制害虫的生态因子,因而对环境安全,做到既消灭害虫,又保证生态环境和人畜的安全,也保护生物多样性。该项研究成果也为北京采用“绿色”防治技术有效控制美国白蛾提供重要的科技支撑和技术保障。     

白蛾周氏啮小蜂滞育诱导及滞育后发育

本研究针对人工繁育白蛾周氏啮小蜂Chouioia cunea Yang过程中出现的小蜂滞育现象, 对其滞育诱导的光周期反应及敏感光照虫态进行了调查。结果表明: 沈阳地区的白蛾周氏啮小蜂属长日照型昆虫, 以老熟幼虫进入滞育状态, 但在不同的温度条件下诱导滞育的临界光周期不同, 在18℃时诱导滞育的临界光周期处于13L∶11D和14L∶10D之间; 在21℃和24℃时诱导滞育的临界光周期变短, 处于12L∶12D和13L∶11D之间。白蛾周氏啮小蜂滞育诱导的敏感光照虫态为幼虫期, 且以幼虫的后期最为敏感, 但整个幼虫期接受短光照对滞育的形成更为有利。通过观察白蛾周氏啮小蜂滞育后在18℃, 21℃, 24℃和30℃的恒温条件下的发育历期, 由最小二乘法计算出白蛾周氏啮小蜂老熟幼虫滞育后发育起点温度和有效积温分别为14.60±0.31℃和209.38±8.72日·度。这些结果可为进一步研究白蛾周氏啮小蜂的种蜂长期保存技术和指导商品蜂生产, 正确把握放蜂时机提供理论依据。

中国寄生于美国白蛾的啮小蜂—新属—新种(膜翅目,姬小蜂科,啮小蜂亚科)

1985年春季,作者与本院81级学生黄飞在调查美国白蛾Hyphantria cunea(Drury)的天敌昆虫时,从该害虫的蛹中养出了一种小蜂。这种小蜂寄生率很高,达80％以上。而且个体数量很大,一头美国白蛾的蛹中出蜂大多为200头以上,最高达306头。有些科研人员及防治工作者在美国白蛾的研究和防治中也采到或养出了这种小蜂。经     

高温条件下棉铃虫化蛹率、夏滞育率和蛹重的变化

在预蛹期,高温处理能诱导棉铃虫蛹进入夏滞育。本实验着重就33～39℃的变温下滞育蛹和未滞育蛹的失重动态进行了对比研究,同时以常温（27℃）下蛹作为参照。研究发现： 在33～39℃的变温条件下,棉铃虫化蛹率显著低于其在常温下的化蛹率,且所化蛹中有63.2%的雄性和10.9%的雌性进入高温夏滞育,其中高温滞育蛹和未滞育蛹分别都轻于正常发育蛹。化蛹后第2日至第5日期间,高温滞育蛹失重量显著低于高温未滞育蛹和正常发育蛹的失重量,分别为3.62、13.30和5.49 mg;蛹期总失重量结果与化蛹后第2～5日间蛹失重量趋势一致,高温滞育蛹、未滞育蛹和正常发育蛹失重量分别为15.60、49.35和26.30 mg。蛹失重动态研究发现高温滞育蛹在夏滞育期间其失重曲线平缓,显著低于高温未滞育蛹和正常发育蛹;高温滞育蛹滞育解除后,其失重曲线与正常发育蛹的失重趋势基本一致。结果表明,棉铃虫夏滞育蛹能通过维持低的代谢水平来度过不利环境,具有一定的生态适应意义。

介绍一种饲养黄曲条跳甲Phyllotreta striolata(Fabricius)的改进新方法,采用分隔式养虫笼饲养成虫和萝卜"凹"型孔饲养幼虫,结果表明,使用该方法进行饲养,卵的成活率可达89.3%,1~3龄幼虫的存活率为65.0%~70.0%,蛹的存活率达80.0%,可以有效实现黄曲条跳甲的室内饲养。     

A laboratory study of the effects of cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus on Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Larvae of Heliothis virescens reared from eggs contaminated with cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus weighed 50% less than those reared from virus-free eggs. The larval stage in a virus-infected group was 4 days longer than that of a healthy group, and diseased pupae weighed an average of 60 mg less than healthy pupae. Furthermore, adult emergence was reduced 10% in virus-infected pupae, diseased moths lived 9 days less than healthy moths, and production of eggs was reduced 68% in diseased females.     

Acceptance and suitability of four lepidopteran stemborers for the development of the pupal parasitoid Xanthopimpla stemmator (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Xanthopimpla stemmator (Thunberg), a solitary endoparasitoid of lepidopteran stemborer pupae, was recently imported into East Africa as a candidate biological control agent of gramineous stemborers. Suitability of Busseola fusca Fuller, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe), Eldana saccharina (Walker) and Sesamia calamistis Hampson, for the development of X. stemmator was studied in the laboratory. One- to 6-day-old laboratory reared pupae of the four stemborer species were exposed to naïve X. stemmator females. All host pupae and ages were acceptable for oviposition. The parasitoids inflicted multiple probe wounds on 67.8% of pupae exposed. B. fusca, C. partellus and S. calamistis were equally suitable with 56.4, 59.4 and 52.3%, respectively, of probed pupae leading to emergence of adult parasitoids. E. saccharina was less suitable with only 22.6% of probed pupae producing parasitoids. Emergence of parasitoids did not differ significantly across the six pupal ages for B. fusca and S. calamistis, but varied for C. partellus and E. saccharina. No parasitoids emerged from 6-day-old E. saccharina pupae. Realized fecundity of females reared on the four stemborer pupae showed that fewer progeny were produced by females emerging from E. saccharina than females reared on the other three stemborer species. Eldana saccharina may be a poor host for X. stemmator in Kenya, but this parasitoid is a potential candidate for biological control of B. fusca, C. partellus and S. calamistis.     

湖北棉区转Bt基因棉对棉铃虫的控制作用

2000-2001年通过田间系统调查,表明转Bt基因棉（品种为GK19）在湖北江汉平原棉区对棉铃虫抗性稳定。试验设3个处理：转Bt基因棉化防田（使用化学农药控制害虫）、转Bt基因棉自控田（依靠天敌控制害虫）及常规棉对照田（利用综合防治措施控制害虫）。从棉铃虫的第2代到第5代整个发生期内,即使在不进行化学防治的情况下,棉铃虫在Bt棉田的发生量也保持在极低的水平(最高百株虫量为12头)。室内饲养结果表明,转Bt基因棉对棉铃虫的生长发育（幼虫体重、蛹重）有较为明显的影响,使6龄幼虫体重减少25.6%,蛹重减少18.2%。棉铃虫幼虫取食转Bt基因棉组织后,发育迟缓,相对于常规棉喂养的整个发育历期延长17 d,使棉铃虫在田间的危害减少至少一个世代。另外,接虫试验表明,棉铃虫幼虫在常规棉上的取食时间是转Bt基因棉株上的6.1倍,极大地减轻了棉铃虫的危害程度。     

Comparative Development and Performance of Artificially Reared versus Host-RearedDiapetimorpha introita(Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Wasps

Diapetimorpha introita(Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), a native ectoparasitoid ofSpodopteraspp. pupae, was reared in the laboratory on an artificial diet devoid of any insect host components. Diet-reared wasps demonstrated a propensity to search for and parasitize natural hosts in a field cage trial. Longevity of the diet-reared wasps was comparable with the longevity of wasps reared on host pupae. Survival rate ofD. introitawas 61.3% when reared on diet and 76.3% when reared on host pupae. Wasps reared on the artificial diet had longer developmental times, reduced fecundity, and reduced adult weights compared to wasps reared on host pupae. These studies suggest that future research efforts should focus on increasing fecundity and weight of diet-reared wasps and decreasing the mortality and developmental time of wasps reared on the artificial diet. The ability to rearD. introitaon an inexpensive, artificial diet significantly enhances the potential of mass rearing this parasitoid for inundative releases againstSpodopteraspp.     

Dispersal and prepupation behavior of Chilean sympatric Drosophila species that breed in the same site in nature

We investigated dispersal patterns of Drosophila larvae searchingfor pupation sites over three substrates to determine the roleof spatial heterogeneity and presence of other species on prepupationbehavior. We used D. melanogaster, D. hydei, and D. pavani whoseparents emerged from apples collected in one orchard. Each speciesshowed different preferences for substrates on which to pupate,particularly in the presence of another Drosophila species.Larval locomotion rate and turning behavior in D. melanogaster,D. hydei, and D. pavani were modified depending this upon thetype of substrate (agar and sand) on which the larvae crawled.These two behaviors are involved in dispersal and aggregationof pupae. Distance between pupae of the same species decreaseswhen larvae of another species pupate on the same substrate.Aggregated distributions over the substrates lead to patcheswith few or no individuals. These could serve as pupation sitesfor other Drosophila species that, in nature, also emerge fromsmall breeding sites.     

Hormonal control of pupal coloration in the painted lady butterfly Vanessa cardui

Pupae of the painted lady butterfly Vanessa cardui exhibit pupal color polyphenism consisting of white, dark and intermediate types. We investigated environmental factors affecting pupal coloration and the physiological mechanisms underlying the control of pupal color polyphenism in this species. Over 80% of larvae reared at 16 °C developed into pupae of dark types, whereas over 82% of larvae at 32 °C developed into pupae of white types irrespective of long/short-day photoperiod conditions. When mature larvae reared at 32 °C were ligatured between thoracic and abdominal parts at three different pharate pupal stages, all of the head-thoracic parts developed into white pupae regardless of pupal stage, but all abdominal parts ligatured at the early pharate pupal stage only developed into dark pupae. These results indicate that temperature during larval stages is an important element affecting pupal coloration as an environmental cue in V. cardui, and that a factor(s) inducing white pupae is released from head-thoracic parts under conditions of high temperature. Additionally, when ligatured abdomens destined to develop into dark pupae were treated with crude extracts prepared from the central nervous system, all of the ligatured abdomens developed into white pupae at a level dependent on dose and pupal stage. These results suggest that the factor inducing white pupae is a key molecule controlling pupal color polyphenism in V. cardui.     

Commercial and naturally occurring fly parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) as biological control agents of stable flies and house flies (Diptera: Muscidae) on California dairies

Filth fly parasites reared by commercial insectaries were released on two dairies (MO, DG) in southern California to determine their effect on populations of house flies, Musca domestica L., and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). Spalangia endius Walker, Muscidifurax raptorellus Kogan and Legner, and Muscidifurax zaraptor Kogan and Legner were released on the MO dairy from 1985 to 1987 in varying quantities. Parasitism by Muscidifurax zaraptor on the MO dairy was significantly higher (P less than 0.05) from the field-collected stable fly (4.4%) and house fly (12.5%) pupae, compared with a control dairy (0.1%, stable fly; 1.3%, house fly). Muscidifurax zaraptor, released from April through October during 1987 on the DG dairy (350,000 per month), was not recovered in a significantly higher proportion from either fly species relative to the corresponding control dairy. No specimens of Muscidifurax raptorellus were recovered from the MO dairy. Parasite treatments had no apparent effect on adult populations of either fly species or on overall parasitism rate of field-collected stable fly (16.8%, MO; 17.2%, DG) and house fly (23.3%, MO; 20.9%, DG) pupae. Spalangia spp. were the predominant parasites recovered from field-collected stable fly and house fly pupae on all four dairies. Sentinel house fly pupae placed in fly-breeding sites on both release dairies were parasitized at a significantly higher rate, as compared with sentinel pupae on control dairies. The generic composition of parasites emerging from sentinel house fly pupae was 20.6% Spalangia spp. and 73.2% Muscidifurax spp., whereas in field-collected house fly pupae, Spalangia spp. and Muscidifurax spp. constituted 74.3 and 19.6% of the parasites, respectively.
