小麦吸浆虫保幼激素酯酶和保幼激素环氧水解酶基因的克隆及在滞育和变态发育过程中的表达动态

【目的】保幼激素(juvenile hormone, JH)在小麦吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana滞育诱导及滞育后静息状态的维持中发挥着重要作用。保幼激素酯酶(hormone esterase, JHE)和保幼激素环氧水解酶(juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase, JHEH)是调控JH滴度的重要降解酶。本研究旨在探讨JHE和JHEH在小麦吸浆虫滞育和变态发育中潜在功能。【方法】通过RT-PCR和RACE技术从小麦吸浆虫滞育前幼虫克隆JHE和JHEH全长cDNA序列;利用生物信息学软件分析其核苷酸及编码蛋白特性;采用qPCR技术分析其在小麦吸浆虫滞育不同时期(滞育前、滞育期、滞育后静息期和滞育后发育)3龄幼虫及1龄幼虫到成虫不同发育阶段(1-2龄幼虫、预蛹、初蛹、中蛹、后蛹、雌成虫和雄成虫)中的表达水平。【结果】克隆获得了cDNA全长分别为3 102和1 980 bp的小麦吸浆虫SmJHE和SmJHEH基因(GenBank登录号分别为MG876768和MG876769),其开放阅读框分别长1 740和1 371 bp,分别编码579和456个氨基酸,预测蛋白分子量分别为65.67和51.65 kD。SmJHE蛋白含有5个JHE家族特有的保守模块,SmJHEH含有催化三联体Asp228, Asp404和His431及组成阴氧离子洞的两个Tyr(Tyr299和Tyr374)和HGWP花样结构。序列比对和进化分析表明,SmJHE和SmJHEH均与双翅目(Diptera)长角亚目(Nematocera)昆虫同源蛋白氨基酸序列一致性较高,亲缘关系最近。不同滞育时期的表达模式表明,SmJHE和SmJHEH在滞育前期(1龄到滞育前的3龄幼虫早期)表达量变化不明显,进入滞育后表达量基本维持恒定,但均在滞育后静息阶段的当年12月至翌年1月最低。发育表达模式表明,幼虫恢复发育后SmJHE表达量逐渐升高,预蛹期达到最高,在雌成虫中的表达量显著低于雄成虫中的;SmJHEH表达量则在预蛹期最低,在雌成虫中最高。【结论】SmJHE和SmJHEH参与小麦吸浆虫滞育调控,其表达量的降低与滞育后静息阶段JH的累积有关;SmJHE在发育过程中表达量的升高可能参与幼虫到蛹的变态,表达量的降低可能与生殖发育有关。     

小麦吸浆虫年度羽化率、剩余率和自然死亡率的计算方法及其意义

<正> 小麦吸浆虫(红吸浆虫)Sitodiplosis mose-llana(Gehin)一年发生一代,其幼虫具有在土壤中多年滞育休眠的习性。某年度出土羽化虫量,是当年为害小麦的直接虫源;继续存留土内     

麦红吸浆虫幼虫滞育期间糖类物质变化

分析研究了麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin) 幼虫滞育期间总糖、海藻糖和糖原含量的变化。结果表明： 不同滞育年限幼虫的总糖含量无显著差异。在滞育年周期中,不同时期的滞育幼虫总糖含量明显不同。幼虫老熟入土滞育以前的总糖含量明显高于入土滞育期间。入土滞育过程中,越冬期和春季的总糖含量明显高于夏季和秋季。同期的裸露幼虫与结茧幼虫的总糖含量仅在秋季有一定的差异,其他时间基本相似。结茧幼虫滞育期间的海藻糖含量一直维持较高的水平,说明其滞育期间的糖醇积累型属于海藻糖积累型;秋季与春季糖原含量的增加可能与麦红吸浆虫的滞育解除或滞育强度的变化有一定的关系。     

麦红吸浆虫不同滞育期四种糖代谢酶活力分析

海藻糖是麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin)滞育期间储藏能量的主要物质,为弄清其在滞育期的积累机理,本文测定了麦红吸浆虫滞育前后和滞育期糖原磷酸化酶（Gpase）、己糖激酶（HK）、磷酸果糖激酶（PFK）和醛缩酶（ALD）这4种糖代谢酶活力的变化。结果表明: 麦红吸浆虫滞育前后这些糖代谢酶活力明显不同,滞育后Gpase 活力显著提高,糖酵解有关酶HK,PFK和ALD活力降低;滞育解除后,Gpase 活力降低,HK,PFK和ALD活力升高。滞育期间,4种糖代谢酶的活力均与滞育发育有关;同时Gpase 和PFK的活力也与环境温度有关,即夏、冬季高于春、秋季;同期不同滞育状态幼虫比较,裸露幼虫HK,PFK和ALD活力总是略高于结茧幼虫,Gpase则相反。滞育当年与第2年同期幼虫4种糖代谢酶的活力无显著差异。     

小麦吸浆虫滞育幼虫甘油含量的季节变化(英文)

采用比色分析方法测定了小麦吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana滞育期间幼虫甘油含量的季节变化。结果表明,幼虫离穗入土以前,甘油含量很低,仅为2.96±1.19μg/mg。幼虫离穗入土后,甘油含量急剧升高。入土后5d,甘油含量即上升为6.58±1.11μg/mg;至入土后17d,甘油含量达到高峰,12.21±2.21μg/mg。以后随时间的短期变化其含量变化不大,但随季节变化表现了一定的规律性,呈现了上升——下降——再上升——再下降的变化趋势,即夏季和冬季含量较高,秋季和春季含量较低。结茧幼虫和裸露幼虫比较,结茧幼虫的甘油含量在盛夏和冬季略高于裸露幼虫,秋季和春季时二者含量相当,两者在统计学上并无显著的差异。同一季节的当年滞育幼虫和进入第2年滞育幼虫的甘油含量无明显差异。由此可见,小麦吸浆虫幼虫滞育期间,甘油含量受季节或滞育深度的影响较大。     

麦红吸浆虫滞育发生和解除过程中总脂和甘油三酯含量变化

【目的】脂类与昆虫滞育密切相关。本研究旨在明确麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin)滞育过程中脂类物质含量的变化规律,探讨麦红吸浆虫滞育与脂类物质变化的关系。【方法】采用香兰素硫酸显色法测定了2008年5月－2010年1月不同时间陕西杨凌养虫圃内麦红吸浆虫滞育前、滞育期及滞育解除后幼虫和蛹体内总脂和甘油三酯含量。【结果】 滞育前幼虫总脂和甘油三酯含量分别为378.12和291.67 μg/mg,显著高于整个滞育期（P<0.05）。滞育年周期中,冬季总脂和甘油三酯含量最高,翌年1月结茧幼虫二者含量分别为335.29 和275.72 μg/mg,显著高于其他季节（P<0.05）;整个滞育期间,裸露幼虫和结茧幼虫总脂和甘油三酯随季节变化趋势相同,但同期结茧幼虫含量高于裸露幼虫;滞育当年与第2年同期幼虫总脂和甘油三酯含量差异不显著（P>0.05）。滞育解除后,总脂和甘油三酯含量随着幼虫的发育和变态逐渐降低,其中中蛹和后蛹显著低于活动幼虫（P<0.05）。【结论】麦红吸浆虫滞育不同时期幼虫及蛹总脂和甘油三酯含量存在明显差异,其滞育与脂类物质的含量密切相关。     

麦红吸浆虫幼虫不同滞育时期体内山梨醇含量及山梨醇脱氢酶基因表达水平变化

【目的】本研究旨在明确麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana(Géhin)滞育进程中山梨醇含量及山梨醇脱氢酶基因(SmSDH)mRNA表达水平的变化规律,探讨麦红吸浆虫滞育与山梨醇含量及SmSDH表达水平的关系。【方法】分别采用比色法和实时荧光定量PCR方法,对2013年5月-2014年3月不同时间陕西杨凌养虫圃内麦红吸浆虫滞育前后及滞育期幼虫体内山梨醇含量及SmSDH2a和SmSDH2b mRNA表达水平进行分析。【结果】麦红吸浆虫幼虫滞育前山梨醇含量最高(为9.41μg/mg);滞育期间,12月份含量最高(为8.50μg/mg);滞育解除后山梨醇含量为3.25~3.49μg/mg,显著低于滞育前和整个滞育期(P0.05)。山梨醇脱氢酶基因SmSDH2a及SmSDH2b在滞育进程中mRNA表达水平变化趋势相同,且与滞育强度递减趋势一致,即进入滞育后表达水平显著降低(P0.05)并一直稳定在较低水平,滞育解除后逐渐升高并达到最高。滞育期间,同期不同滞育状态幼虫之间山梨醇含量和SmSDH2a表达水平差异不明显,但裸露幼虫SmSDH2b表达水平始终高于结茧幼虫。【结论】山梨醇和SmSDH参与麦红吸浆虫滞育调控,与滞育维持和解除密切相关。     

低温对麦红吸浆虫滞育解除及蜕皮激素受体基因EcR和热激蛋白基因Hsp70和Hsp90表达水平的影响

【目的】本研究旨在明确破茧率和破茧所需时间作为典型的专性幼虫期滞育昆虫麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana滞育解除指标的可行性,探讨蜕皮激素受体基因EcR和热激蛋白基因Hsp70和Hsp90在低温解除滞育中的作用。【方法】9月上旬采自田间的麦红吸浆虫滞育幼虫在低温(4℃)和自然变温处理不同时间(0~90 d)后转移至24℃化蛹,调查幼虫的破茧率、化蛹率及破茧和化蛹所需时间;采用qPCR技术分析4℃低温终止滞育并在24℃下恢复发育的幼虫EcR, Hsp70和Hsp90的mRNA水平。【结果】不同时间低温(4℃)和自然变温处理的麦红吸浆虫滞育幼虫破茧率和化蛹率以及破茧和化蛹所需时间均存在显著差异。未经低温(4℃)处理的幼虫在水分满足的条件下破茧率为71.3%,但均不能化蛹;低温(4℃)处理60 d内,随着处理时间的延长破茧率和化蛹率逐渐升高,破茧和化蛹所需时间逐渐缩短;与4℃低温处理30~60 d相比,自然变温处理30~60 d的幼虫化蛹率显著较低;4℃低温处理60 d和自然变温处理90 d后幼虫的化蛹率均超过91%。低温(4℃)处理显著提高了麦红吸浆虫幼虫EcR, Hsp70和Hsp90的表达量,其中处理30 d时其表达量最高,随着低温(4℃)处理时间的延长,表达量逐渐降低,大部分幼虫滞育解除后表达量趋于恒定。【结论】低温能显著促进麦红吸浆虫的滞育解除,效果优于9-10月自然变温;破茧率及破茧所需时间可作为评判麦红吸浆虫幼虫滞育强度的参考,但不能独立作为滞育解除的指标;EcR,Hsp70和Hsp90的表达水平与滞育强度密切相关,在麦红吸浆虫滞育解除中发挥潜在作用。     

麦红吸浆虫热激蛋白基因SmHsp40的克隆及其在滞育进程中和极端温度胁迫下的表达

【目的】麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana是一种典型的专性滞育昆虫,滞育过程中经历酷暑和严寒。本研究旨在探讨麦红吸浆虫热激蛋白基因Hsp40在滞育中的作用。【方法】以麦红吸浆虫滞育前幼虫为材料,利用RT-PCR和RACE技术克隆Hsp40全长cDNA序列;利用生物信息学软件分析该基因及其编码蛋白的特性;采用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析其在滞育不同阶段幼虫及越夏滞育幼虫在短期(≤120 min)极端高温(35～50℃)和越冬滞育幼虫在短期极端低温(0～-15℃)胁迫下的表达模式。【结果】克隆获得麦红吸浆虫Hsp40基因,命名为SmHsp40(GenBank登录号:MH001167),其cDNA全长1 553 bp,开放阅读框长为1 074 bp,编码357个氨基酸,相对分子量为40.87 kD,理论等电点为5.31。推导的氨基酸序列中含有Hsp40蛋白家族典型的J结构域和HPD基序。蛋白序列相似性和系统进化关系分析表明,SmHsp40蛋白与冈比亚按蚊Anopheles gambiae等长角亚目(Nematocera)昆虫Hsp40的相似性最高、亲缘关系最近。麦红吸浆虫滞育不同时期幼虫SmHsp40表达量存在显著差异,进入滞育后表达量上调;滞育进程中,夏季7-8月和冬季12月至翌年1月表达量显著高于其他季节。与未处理的对照相比,40℃处理越夏滞育幼虫和-10℃处理越冬滞育幼虫1 h明显诱导SmHsp40的表达,但超过45℃或低于-15℃极端温度处理诱导效果均不明显。【结论】SmHsp40参与了麦红吸浆虫滞育进程,可能在滞育状态的维持及滞育期间耐热和耐寒能力的调控方面起重要作用。     

麦红吸浆虫在我国的发生、危害及防治

麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana是我国的一种重要农业害虫, 以幼虫危害小麦正在发育的籽粒, 可造成小麦严重减产, 甚至绝收。该害虫具有虫体小, 滞育时间长, 为害隐蔽等特点。近些年来, 受全球气候变化、 耕作制度改变、 小麦品种更换、 人类活动等多种因素的影响, 麦红吸浆虫在我国的发生危害情况发生了很大变化, 出现了北扩东移的现象。麦红吸浆虫主要分布在我国的北方麦区, 发生为害具有隐蔽性、 间歇性、 局部性和暴发性的特点。这种害虫的发生危害受虫源基数、 生态因子、 农业生产措施及人类活动等多种因素的影响。进入21世纪后, 麦红吸浆虫在我国的发生范围发生了很大的变化, 且主要分布在43°N以南到27°N以北的冬小麦主产区。有关麦红吸浆虫滞育的多态性、 小麦对麦红吸浆虫的抗性机理、 抗性品种的选育和天敌资源的开发等方面的研究将是今后的主要研究方向; 未来仍需加强对麦红吸浆虫滞育的分子机制、 发生危害规律、 预测预报、 综合防治和寄主植物 麦红吸浆虫 天敌三级营养关系等方面研究。本综述可为今后了解麦红吸浆虫在我国的发生危害规律、 预测预报及综合防治等提供参考。

【目的】明确25%吡蚜酮SC、3%甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐ME、25%噻虫嗪WG、14%氯虫·高氯氟ZC、15%高氯·毒死蜱EC、2.5%高效氯氟氰菊酯EW和40%毒死蜱EC 7种杀虫剂对小麦吸浆虫和蚜虫的防治效果,为科学、合理用药防治小麦害虫提供参考。【方法】采用喷雾法和剥穗调查法,研究它们对小麦吸浆虫成虫和麦蚜的防效,及防后对小麦吸浆虫幼虫危害损失的影响。【结果】参试药剂药后1 d对小麦吸浆虫成虫防效均高于90%,药后3~5 d防效为84.81%~93.93%,防后挽回损失76%以上;对麦蚜药后1、3、5 d防效分别高于75%、80%和85%。在供试的7种药剂中,15%高氯·毒死蜱EC药后3~5 d对两种害虫防效、挽回吸浆虫危害均超过90%,应用效果最好;其次为25%噻虫嗪WG和40%毒死蜱EC,药后3~5 d对吸浆虫防效高于90%、对麦蚜防效分别高于86%和90%,挽回吸浆虫危害损失88%以上。【结论】供试药剂对小麦吸浆虫和麦蚜防效存在显著差异,15%高氯·毒死蜱EC对两种害虫防治效果最好。     

Studies of fluctuations in insect populations: XI. The interrelationship of the wheat blossom midges and their host plant

The date of wheat blossom midge emergence in an insectary some distance away from the growing wheat can give as reliable an estimate of the forwardness of the crop as field observation of the date of ear emergence. The percentage grain attacked by the wheat blossom midges, which can be assessed by routine workers without any special experience of wheat, can give in early July a useful first estimate of the crop yield.     

耕作方式对麦红吸浆虫种群动态的影响

为了解不同耕作方式对麦红吸浆虫Sitodiplosis mosellana （Géhin）种群动态的影响, 2010年和2011年, 在中国科学院河北省栾城农业生态系统试验站不同耕作方式的小麦样地中, 通过淘土、 成虫网捕和剥穗等方法对麦红吸浆虫进行了调查研究。结果表明： 两年取土筛检出的幼虫数量依次为秸秆还田免耕田>秸秆站立免耕田>秸秆还田旋耕田, 但2011年网捕调查显示, 秸秆还田旋耕田中的成虫数量高于另外两种样地。两年剥穗检查出的幼虫数量的排序与取土筛检出的幼虫数量的排序相反, 依次为秸秆还田旋耕田>秸秆站立免耕田>秸秆还田免耕田。分析表明免耕有利于幼虫的越冬, 但免耕田麦穗受害较轻。旋耕对幼虫越冬不利, 但抽穗后受害较严重。在耕种方式是旋耕的情况下, 漫灌可加重吸浆虫的危害。研究结果有助于进一步了解大范围耕作方式的变迁对麦红吸浆虫发生的影响。     

CHANGES OF GLYCEROL CONTENT IN DIAPAUSE LARVAE OF THE ORANGE WHEAT BLOSSOM MIDGE, SITODIPLOSIS MOSELLANA (GEHIN) IN VARIOUS SEASONS

Abstract  The glycerol contents in diapause larvae of the orange wheat blossom midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin), collected from various seasons, were measured. The results showed that there was less glycerol content in larvae during living on the wheat head. Content of glycerol began to increase significantly when the larvae left the wheat head and entered the soil. A change trend of upper- lower- upper- lower in larvae glycerol contents during diapause in soil was observed from June to April of next year. More glycerol could be examined in larvae collected in summer and winter than in spring and autumn. There was not more glycerol in cocooned larvae than that in non-cocooned larvae during various seasons from the point of statistics. Comparing the glycerol content of larvae being diapause in the first year with that of larvae in the second year, there was yet no obvious difference when larvae were collected in the same season belonged to different years. Therefore, it is shown that the content of glycerol in larvae of the wheat midge in diapause is affected mainly by the seasons or diapause intensity.     

CHANGES OF FATTY ACIDS IN LARVAE OF THE WHEAT BLOSSOM MIDGE,SITODIPLOSIS MOSELLANA (GEHIN) (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE)*

Abstract The changes of fatty acids in larvae of the wheat blossom midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin) at different periods were examined by gas choromatography. There were 10–16 kinds of fatty acids, of which the predominant ingredients were palmitic (C_16:0), oleic (C_18:1) and linoleic (C_18:2) acids which were more than 95% in total fatty acids, stearic acid (C_18:0) about 2%‐3.5% and any of the others was less than 1%. The fatty acid compositions increased from mid‐May, when larvae of the wheat blossom midge left the wheat‐ears and fallen on the ground, to April of next year before pupating and emerging. No arachidic acid (C_20.0) was discovered in over‐summering, over‐wintering as well as inactive over‐wintered larvae. The content of saturated fatty acids in over‐summering, overwintering as well as inactive over‐wintered larvae were less than those of in active over‐wintered larvae and wheat‐ear larvae. Therefore, changes of the arachidic acid and the proportions of saturated fatty acids/unsaturated fatty acids could be used as one of the biochemical criteria to determine the active state and the degree of diapause in larvae of the wheat blossom midge.     

Parasitism rates and parasitoid complexes of the wheat midges, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sitodiplosis mosellana</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Contarinia tritici</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Haplodiplosis marginata</Emphasis>

Three species of cecidomyiid midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), whose larvae overwinter in the soil, can cause significant yield losses on wheat in Europe: the orange wheat blossom midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhin), the yellow wheat blossom midge, Contarinia tritici (Kirby), and the saddle gall midge, Haplodiplosis marginata (von Roser). The biological control of wheat midges by their parasitoids can contribute to reduce the midge populations. Soil samples were collected in several fields in Belgium in 2012–2014 in order to characterize the parasitism rates and parasitoid complexes in overwintering larvae. The parasitism rates varied greatly between the sampled fields: 3–100, 0–100 and 2% for S. mosellana, H. marginata and C. tritici, respectively. The parasitism rate was not related to the larval density of wheat midge. The three wheat midges have totally distinct parasitoid complexes in Belgium. Eight species (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae and Platygastridae) were found as parasitoid of S. mosellana: Macroglenes penetrans (Kirby), Amblypasis tritici (Walker), Euxestonotus error (Fitch), Euxestonutus sp. Fouts, Leptacis sp. Foerster, Platygaster gracilipes (Huggert), Platygaster nisus Walker, and Platygaster tuberosula (Kieffer). According to their abundance, M. penetrans, E. error and P. tuberosula appeared as the main parasitoids of S. mosellana in Belgium. For the two other wheat midges, only one species of the family Platygastridae was found for each midge: Platygaster equestris (Spittler) for H. marginata and Synopeas myles (Walker) for C. tritici.     

Entomophthora brevinucleata sp. nov. [Zygomycetes,Entomophthoraceae], a pathogen of gall midges [Dip.: Cecidomyiidae]

Entomophthora brevinucleata, a fungal pathogen of gall midges, is described. The species occurs on at least 3 host species, including the wheat blossom midgeSitodiplosis mosellana Géhin andMycodiplosis sp.E. brevinucleata produces rhizoids, either monohyphal or comprising bundles of a few hyphae, without holdfasts. The hyphal bodies are subspherical with mean dimensions of 27.5×22.1 μm. The primary conidia are campanulate with mean dimensions from individual hosts of 11.2–18.9×8.7–15.8 μm. They contain 3–13 nuclei with a mean diameter of between 2.7 and 3.7 μm stained with lactophenol-aceto-orcein. The secondary conidia are of similar shape but smaller. Cystidia and resting spores were not observed.     

Life history traits of Pseudasphondylia rokuharensis (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) affecting emergence of adults and synchronization with host plant phenology

To identify adaptive strategies of gall-inducing cecidomyiids, we studied the life history traits of Pseudasphondylia rokuharensis (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a univoltine species inducing fruit galls on a deciduous shrub, Viburnum dilatatum. Although univoltine gall midges that are associated with trees or shrubs are usually difficult to rear from immature stages under artificial conditions, we successfully reared P. rokuharensis from first instar to adult. Mature larvae entered diapause in autumn, and the diapause terminated after low temperature treatment (4 mo of incubation at 5 degrees C). The adults emerged within a shorter period of time than those without low temperature treatment. Thus, the diapause provides better synchronization of adult emergence in the spring. Because adults live for only a few days, this synchronization improves the chances of adults finding a mate. This is the first report on the mechanism of larval diapause termination for univoltine and tree- or shrub-associated gall midges. The numbers of days needed for adults to emerge under laboratory conditions after low temperature incubation were significantly different between two different localities. This result might suggest the possible existence of ecoclines in their life history parameters.
