甜菜夜蛾体内代谢耐受性对转Bt基因棉响应的时间动态

在室内用转Bt基因棉和亲本常规棉饲养甜菜夜蛾（Spodoptera exigua Hübner）幼虫,测定了不同取食时间后甜菜夜蛾4龄幼虫体内营养物质含量和消化酶、保护酶、解毒酶活力的变化．结果表明,分别取食Bt棉和常规棉,甜菜夜蛾幼虫体内的营养物质含量和消化酶、保护酶、解毒酶活力差异显著．与取食常规棉相应时间的个体相比,取食Bt棉1,6,24h后,幼虫体内的游离脂肪酸和葡萄糖含量显著提高;取食Bt棉1,4,6,24h后,幼虫体内胰蛋白酶和总超氧化物歧化酶的活力显著增高,脂肪酶、羧酸酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶活力则显著降低．取食相同品种棉花,幼虫体内营养物质含量和消化酶、保护酶、解毒酶活力受甜菜夜蛾危害时间的显著影响．取食Bt棉24h的幼虫,其体内游离脂肪酸和总氨基酸含量显著低于取食1h的个体;脂肪酶和胰蛋白酶活力显著低于取食1和4h的个体,但羧酸酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶酶活力显著高于取食1,4,6h的个体．棉花品种和甜菜夜蛾为害时间的交互作用可显著影响甜菜夜蛾体内脂肪酶、胰蛋白酶、乙酰胆碱酯酶和总超氧化物歧化酶的活力．通过测定甜菜夜蛾体内保护酶和解毒酶活力对Bt棉响应的时间动态,对于评价植食性昆虫在毒素蛋白持续选择压力下的生理反应和抗性变化具有重要参考意义．     

取食不同寄主植物对棉蚜后代抗药性的影响

测定了5种药剂对棉蚜Aphis gossypii抗氰戊菊酯、吡虫啉品系和敏感品系取食棉花、黄瓜和石榴的后代的毒力,并对它们的后代体内乙酰胆碱酯酶和羧酸酯酶的比活力做了初步探索。结果表明,氰戊菊酯抗性品系取食棉花比取食黄瓜的后代对氰戊菊酯的抗性大76.4倍,对灭多威、氧乐果、硫丹和吡虫啉的抗性也大0.5～4.6倍;取食石榴的后代对5种药剂的抗性介于取食棉花和黄瓜的之间。吡虫啉抗性品系的测定结果与氰戊菊酯抗性品系基本一致。敏感品系取食黄瓜比取食棉花的后代对5种药剂的敏感性更高。3个品系取食不同植物的后代相比,其体内乙酰胆碱酯酶的比活力,取食棉花的为取食黄瓜的2.4～2.8倍;羧酸酯酶的比活力,取食棉花的为取食黄瓜的1.8～2.4倍。证明棉蚜的抗性和敏感品系取食的寄主植物不同,可引起对药剂敏感性的变化。乙酰胆碱酯酶和羧酸酯酶活力的变化均是引起这种变化的重要因素。     

棉蚜对有机磷杀虫剂抗性的生化机理

本文对有机磷抗性和感性棉蚜Aphis gossypii三个种群抗性生化机制进行了讲究.首先用解毒酶的抑制剂测定药剂的解毒途径.进一步测定乙酰胆碱酯酶活力及其敏感性和多功能氧化酶、谷胱甘肽s-转移酶、α-乙酸萘酯酶和α-乙酸萘酯羧酸酯酶等解毒酶的活力.结果表明,体内条件下,多功能氧化酶与抗性有关,但在离体条件下,在棉蚜匀浆液中有内源抑制剂存在.α-乙酸萘酯酶和α-乙酸萘酯羧酸酯酶活力的增加,乙酰胆碱酯酶对杀虫剂敏感性的降低也是造成棉蚜对有机磷产生抗性的原因.     

转Bt基因棉叶片表面特性与棉蚜取食行为的关系：非靶效应的个案研究

本文选择转Bt基因棉和其非靶生物棉蚜（Aphis gossypii）作为研究对象,对转Bt基因棉的生态安全性进行个案评价．利用刺探电位技术（electrical penetration graph,EPG）、光学显微镜和电子显微镜观察、生物测定和化学分析等手段,研究了两种转Bt基因棉花（GK12和GK19）及其常规棉亲本泗棉3号叶片表面的物理和化学特征以及棉蚜在棉叶上的搜寻行为．EPG结果显示棉蚜在3种棉株上的取食搜寻行为存在差异;生物测定实验中,棉蚜对3种棉花叶片表面淋洗物的反应没有显著差异;对棉花叶片表面化学物质进行分析后发现,3种棉株的叶表面化学物质的成分和含量基本一致;但在光学显微镜和电子显微镜观察下发现3种棉花叶片叶毛的密度存在显著差异．利用多元回归方法建立了叶片的物理特征和棉蚜的搜寻行为之间的相互关系模型,由模型可知腺毛和分支为5的覆盖毛对棉蚜的搜寻行为有明显的影响,其他分支的覆盖毛对棉蚜的影响关系较为复杂．由以上结果可以得出结论,所研究的这两种转Bt基因棉表面的物理特征异于其亲本,且这种差异会影响转Bt基因棉的非靶昆虫棉蚜在其上的取食刺探行为,棉蚜在两种Bt棉上较容易进行刺探和取食．     

抗吡虫啉棉蚜种群对啶虫脒和噻虫胺的交互抗性及相关酶学机理

【目的】通过对乙酰胆碱受体β1亚基突变后的抗吡虫啉棉蚜Aphis gossypii (Glover)种群的继续筛选, 明确该种群的抗性发展规律以及对其他新烟碱类杀虫剂啶虫脒和噻虫胺的交互抗性及相关酶学机理。【方法】采用浸渍法连续对抗吡虫啉棉蚜进行室内筛选、 测定噻虫胺和啶虫脒对抗吡虫啉棉蚜种群的毒力; 选择LC₂₀剂量吡虫啉、 啶虫脒和噻虫胺处理抗性棉蚜, 采用生化分析法测定其体内羧酸酯酶、 谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性变化, 并观察其生物学特性的变化。【结果】本研究对抗性棉蚜突变种群用吡虫啉继续筛选至75代, 抗性倍数达到72.6倍, RF75停止用药筛选12代（RF₇₅₊₁₂）, 抗性仍达72.0倍。且RF₇₅₊₁₂对噻虫胺和啶虫脒的交互抗性可分别达11.9倍和20.1倍。噻虫胺对抗吡虫啉棉蚜的蜜露分泌和体重的抑制作用均大于吡虫啉和啶虫脒。噻虫胺对RF₇₅₊₁₂的羧酸酯酶、 谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶均具有明显的抑制作用, 而啶虫脒的抑制作用较小。【结论】结果表明乙酰胆碱受体基因突变棉蚜种群对吡虫啉的抗性水平不仅升高, 且停止用药后其抗性可稳定遗传; 第二代新烟碱类的噻虫胺在抗吡虫啉棉蚜靶标突变种群的治理中具有较大的应用价值。     

我国棉花主产区棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性监测及抗性机理

【目的】由于生长周期短、繁殖率高,棉蚜Aphis gossypii容易对杀虫剂产生抗药性。本研究旨在明确我国棉花主产区棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性水平及抗性机理。【方法】采用浸叶法测定了北京海淀,河北廊坊和邯郸,山东德州,河南许昌,以及新疆奎屯和阿克苏地区棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性水平;测定了不同种群棉蚜3种解毒酶（多功能氧化酶、羧酸酯酶、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶）及乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性;并对靶标基因烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体（nAChR）β1亚基基因进行了突变检测。【结果】北京海淀、河南许昌和河北邯郸的棉蚜对吡虫啉敏感;河北廊坊、新疆阿克苏、山东德州及新疆奎屯地区的棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性倍数(resistance ratio, RR)分别为22.6, 26.3,53.5和61.1倍,为中等水平抗性。酶活力对比研究发现,阿克苏和奎屯地区的棉蚜多功能氧化酶的比活力分别是敏感种群(北京种群)的1.7和1.8倍,羧酸酯酶的比活力分别是敏感种群的1.6和1.7倍,谷胱甘肽S-转移酶的比活力均是敏感种群的1.5倍,但是乙酰胆碱酯酶比活力在棉蚜种群间差异不显著。靶标基因突变检测表明,河北廊坊、新疆阿克苏、山东德州及新疆奎屯棉蚜种群nAChR β1亚基均存在与吡虫啉抗性相关的精氨酸到苏氨酸（R81T）突变。【结论】结果提示,多功能氧化酶、羧酸酯酶和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶活力升高以及nAChR β1亚基R81T突变与棉蚜对吡虫啉的抗性形成相关。     

转Bt基因抗虫玉米对亚洲玉米螟幼虫几种主要酶系活性的影响

研究了表达Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白的转Bt基因抗虫玉米对亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (uenée) 幼虫解毒酶、保护酶和中肠蛋白酶活性的影响,测定比较了取食转Bt基因玉米后幼虫体内α-乙酸萘酯酶、乙酰胆碱酯酶、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶、过氧化氢酶、超氧化物歧化酶、中肠总蛋白酶、类胰蛋白酶和类胰凝乳蛋白酶的活力。结果表明,取食转Bt基因玉米48 h后亚洲玉米螟幼虫体内的α-乙酸萘酯酶、谷胱甘肽S转移酶活力明显低于对照;而乙酰胆碱酯酶活力显著高于对照,在取食48 h、60 h和72 h的活力分别是对照的2.00、1.50和2.50倍。保护酶系、中肠总蛋白酶、弱碱性类胰蛋白酶和类胰凝乳蛋白酶的活性在取食48 h后明显受到抑制;但强碱性类胰蛋白酶的活性显著高于对照,取食48 h、60 h和72 h的活力分别是对照的4.00、1.67和1.33倍。乙酰胆碱酯酶和强碱性类胰蛋白酶可能与亚洲玉米螟对Bt的抗性有关。     

转双价基因(Bt+CpTI)棉对棉铃虫中肠羧酸酯酶活性的诱导作用

为了明确棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera(Hübner)取食转双价基因(Bt+CpTI)棉叶以及取食一段时间转基因棉叶后,再取食常规棉叶,对棉铃虫取食量、体重增长量及中肠羧酸酯酶活性的影响,本研究分别用转双价基因棉叶和常规棉叶饲喂4龄棉铃虫幼虫5 d,比较考察了棉铃虫的取食量、体重增长量及中肠羧酸酯酶的活性;另外分别考察了棉铃虫取食转基因棉叶1 d及3 d后再取食常规棉叶,其中肠羧酸酯酶的变化。结果表明,持续取食常规棉花叶片5 d的棉铃虫,其中肠羧酸酯酶的活性持续升高;而持续取食转基因棉叶5 d的棉铃虫,其中肠羧酸酯酶的活性先升高后降低。取食转基因棉花叶片1 d后,取食常规棉叶的棉铃虫,其中肠羧酸酯酶的活性,随着换取常规棉叶时间的延长,活性逐渐降低;而棉铃虫在取食3 d转基因棉叶后再取食常规棉叶,其中肠羧酸酯酶活性却一直保持较高。可见,棉铃虫在取食转基因棉花后,其羧酸酯酶活性可以被诱导,这应与棉铃虫对转基因棉的抗性及防御性有一定关系。     

Effects of transgenic Cry1Ac + CpTI cotton on carboxylesterase activity in Helicoverpa armigera

为了明确棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera(Hübner)取食转双价基因(Bt+CpTI)棉叶以及取食一段时间转基因棉叶后,再取食常规棉叶,对棉铃虫取食量、体重增长量及中肠羧酸酯酶活性的影响,本研究分别用转双价基因棉叶和常规棉叶饲喂4龄棉铃虫幼虫5d,比较考察了棉铃虫的取食量、体重增长量及中肠羧酸酯酶的活性;另外分别考察了棉铃虫取食转基因棉叶1d及3d后再取食常规棉叶,其中肠羧酸酯酶的变化.结果表明,持续取食常规棉花叶片5d的棉铃虫,其中肠羧酸酯酶的活性持续升高;而持续取食转基因棉叶5d的棉铃虫,其中肠羧酸酯酶的活性先升高后降低.取食转基因棉花叶片1d后,取食常规棉叶的棉铃虫,其中肠羧酸酯酶的活性,随着换取常规棉叶时间的延长,活性逐渐降低;而棉铃虫在取食3d转基因棉叶后再取食常规棉叶,其中肠羧酸酯酶活性却一直保持较高.可见,棉铃虫在取食转基因棉花后,其羧酸酯酶活性可以被诱导,这应与棉铃虫对转基因棉的抗性及防御性有一定关系.     

抗性品系棉蚜乙酰胆碱酯酶和羧酸酯酶的变异

用浸叶法测定了采自我国不同地区(泰安、莱阳、南京、北京和安阳)的棉蚜品系Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ对久效磷、甲胺磷、抗蚜威和灭多威等杀虫剂的抗性水平,各棉蚜品系对杀虫剂的抗性依次为Ⅴ>Ⅳ>Ⅲ,Ⅱ>Ⅰ。进一步研究表明,Ⅴ和Ⅳ品系棉蚜乙酰胆碱酯酶对杀虫剂的敏感性显著下降,Ⅱ品系次之,Ⅲ和Ⅰ品系接近于敏感品系。Ⅴ和Ⅳ品系乙酰胆碱酯酶的Km值显著下降,表明酶发生了质的变化。不同棉蚜抗性品系的酯酶（全酯酶和羧酸酯酶）活性均显著升高,其中Ⅲ品系的酯酶活力为Ⅱ品系的2倍。Ⅴ品系羧酸酯酶Km值达2460.4 μmol/L,而Ⅳ品系仅为84.4 μmol/L,该两个品系羧酸酯酶发生了质的变化。研究结果表明,不同抗性程度的棉蚜品系均存在代谢抗性和靶标抗性。低抗水平的棉蚜品系,以代谢抗性为主,靶标抗性为辅;中抗水平的棉蚜品系,抑或由于解毒代谢酶的活性显著增强,也可能由于靶标的敏感性显著下降;而高抗水平的棉蚜品系,依赖于代谢抗性和靶标抗性的联合作用。     

Stylet penetration behaviors of the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii on transgenic Bt cotton

Stylet penetration behaviors of cotton aphids Aphis gossypii Glover on a transgenic cotton line "GK-12" expressing Bt toxic protein of Cry1A (Bt cotton) and a non-Bt conventional cotton line "Simian-3" (CK cotton) were recorded with the direct current electrical penetration graph (DC-EPG) technique. Cotton aphids reared on Bt cotton (abbreviated as Bt-aphids) and its parental non-Bt control line (CK-aphids) for more than 20 generations each, were used for recordings on two cotton lines. Among 47 selected parameters reflecting the activities of aphid stylets within plant tissues, there were eight parameters of CK-aphids showing significant differences between the performances of CK-aphids on Bt cotton and CK cotton, while for Bt-aphids, all the parameters were statistically equal between the performances on the two cotton lines. All parameters with significant differences indicated that CK-aphids could penetrate into Bt cotton more easily, but the phloem saps of Bt cotton were not as good as those of regular cotton for CK-aphids. Based on the present results, we concluded that there were some factors in Bt cotton affecting penetration behaviors of CK-aphids, but it just took several generations for CK-aphids to completely adapt Bt cotton, and Bt-aphids could feed on two cotton lines without difficulty.     

不同类型品种棉花上棉蚜适生性及种群动态

通过田间调查、室内网罩盆栽苗测定选择性等方法,考察了常规棉（泗棉3号,石远321）、杂交抗虫棉（辽棉19号,鲁棉研18号）、转单价基因抗虫棉（国抗12号,中棉所32）和转双价抗虫棉（SGK321,中棉所41）4种类型8个品种棉花上棉蚜的适生性及种群动态。结果表明： 棉蚜在各棉花品种上的种群动态有明显差异（P<0.05）,单株蚜量以转单价基因抗虫棉中棉32上最高,常规棉泗棉3号上最低,分别为297.81头/株和76.88头/株。棉蚜对4种类型棉花品种的选择性有明显差异（P<0.05）,其中对转单价基因抗虫棉有很强的选择性。根据棉蚜实验种群的参数判断,其在不同品种棉花上的生长发育、存活及繁殖存在显著差异： 若虫发育历期常规棉石远321上最长（6.46天）,双价棉中棉所41上最短（5.75天）; 存活率转单价基因抗虫棉中棉32上最高（88.21%）,双价棉SGK321上最低（76.46%）; 单雌产蚜量杂交抗虫棉辽棉19上最大（44.48头）,双价棉SGK321上最小（33.51头）; 内禀增长率转单价基因抗虫棉中棉32上最高（0.3695）,双价棉中棉所41上最低（0.3389）。综合评价,棉蚜的生存和繁殖适合性在转单价基因抗虫棉上最高,在双价棉上最低。     

Leaf surface factors of transgenic Bt cotton associated with the feeding behaviors of cotton aphids: A case study on non-target effects

The present paper reports case study results of the risk assessment of transgenic Bt cotton on a non-target pest, cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii. Several types of techniques, i.e., electrical penetration graph (EPG), light and electron microscopy, bioassays and chemical analysis, were applied to investigate physical and chemical leaf factors of 2 transgenic Bt cotton lines (GK12 and GK19) and their pa-rental non-Bt cotton line (Simian3) associated with searching and feeding behaviors of cotton aphids on leaves or leaf extracts of cotton plants. EPG results showed that there were some differences among behaviors of cotton aphids on 2 Bt cotton and 1 non-Bt cotton lines. Cotton aphids performed similarly to leaf surface extracts from 3 cotton lines; and leaf surface chemicals, mainly volatiles and waxes, were almost identical in the components and concentrations among the cotton lines. However, three cotton lines were quite different from each other in the densities of certain kinds of covering trichomes. Therefore, the relationships between the physical characteristics and the searching behaviors of cotton aphids on the three cotton lines were constructed as the regression equations. Glandular trichomes and covering trichomes with 5 branches influenced the cotton aphids' searching behaviors effectively; and other trichomes with other branches affected aphids in varying ways. These results demonstrated that leaf surface physical factors of transgenic Bt cotton lines different from their parental non-Bt line could affect the penetration behaviors of non-target cotton aphids. Cotton aphids penetrate and feed more easily on two Bt cotton lines than on the non-Bt cotton line.     

Within-plant distribution of cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), in Bt and non-Bt cotton fields

Knowledge of the vertical and horizontal distribution of Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on genetically modified cotton plants over time could help optimize decision-making in integrated cotton aphid management programs. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the vertical and horizontal distribution of A. gossypii in non-transgenic Bt cotton and transgenic Bt-cotton over time during two cotton seasons by examining plants throughout the seasons. There was no significant interaction between years and cotton cultivar treatments for apterous or alate aphids. Considering year-to-year data, analyses on season-long averages of apterous or alate aphids showed that aphid densities per plant did not differ among years. The number of apterous aphids found per plant for the Bt transgenic cultivar (2427 apterous aphids per plant) was lower than for its isoline (3335 apterous aphids per plant). The number of alate aphids found per plant on the Bt transgenic cultivar (12.28 alate aphids per plant) was lower than for the isoline (140.56 alate aphids per plant). With regard to the vertical distribution of apterous aphids or alate aphids, there were interactions between cotton cultivar, plant age and plant region. We conclude that in comparison to non-Bt cotton (DP 4049), Bt cotton (DP 404 BG (Bollgard)) has significant effects on the vertical, horizontal, spatial and temporal distribution patterns of A. gossypii, showing changes in its distribution behaviour inside the plant as the cotton crop develops. The results of our study are relevant for understanding the vertical and horizontal distribution of A. gossypii on Bt cotton cultivar (DP 404 BG (Bollgard)) and on its isoline (DP 4049), and could be useful in decision-making, implementing controls and determining the timing of population peaks of this insect.     

种植转Bt基因棉土壤中Bt蛋白的分布

采用盆栽试验结合酶联免疫法(ELISA)测定了转Bt基因抗虫棉及常规棉花不同生育期根际及非根际土壤中的Bt蛋白含量.结果表明:红壤、黄棕壤及黄褐土种植转Bt基因棉花后根际土中Bt蛋白含量显著高于非根际土,而种植常规棉花的根际土与非根际土中Bt蛋白含量差异不显著.在初蕾期转Bt基因棉根际土中的Bt蛋白含量为黄褐土＞黄棕壤＞红壤,分别为常规棉根际土的144%、121%和238%;而在盛花期为黄棕壤＞黄褐土＞红壤,分别为常规棉根际土的156%、116%和197%.无论种植转Bt基因棉还是常规棉,供试土壤的根际和非根际土中Bt蛋白含量都随棉花生育期的推进先增加后减少,在盛花期达最大值.整个生育期内,转Bt基因棉根际土中的Bt蛋白含量大于其非根际土;种植转Bt基因棉土壤中Bt蛋白含量高于常规棉,说明转Bt基因棉花的Bt蛋白可释放到根际土中.     

Impact of transgenic cotton plants on a non-target pest, Aphis gossypii Glover

Abstract.  1. Transgenic crops have shown great promise for the control of target pest insects, but in some cases they can also influence non-target species. This study investigated the impact of Bt and Bt+CpTI transgenic cottons on the non-target cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, by comparing life-table parameters, feeding behaviour, and the fluctuating asymmetry of morphological traits of aphids reared on transgenic cotton and those on untransformed control plants.
2. Aphids on the Bt+CpTI cotton showed a shorter reproductive duration and maximum lifespan, lower survival rates and potential maximum fecundity, and an earlier occurrence of peak daily mortality in the first or second generation. However, the aphid population soon developed fitness and overcame the negative effect in the second or third generation. The aphids on the Bt cotton had significantly longer reproductive durations in the first generation, higher survival rates in the third generation, and apparently larger potential maximum fecundity in all three generations.
3. The percentages of accumulated duration of feeding waveforms E1 and E2 were significantly lower in aphids on the Bt+CpTI cotton than in those on the Bt or control cotton, whereas the frequencies of moving and finding feeding sites, and probe behaviour were significantly higher.
4. Fluctuating asymmetry in three morphological characters of aphids reared on transgenic and control cotton was detected. The fluctuating asymmetry value of the third segment of antenna in aphids on Bt+CpTI cotton was significantly higher than that of aphids on Bt or control cotton. Based on the fluctuating asymmetry value, the stress of cotton on the aphids could be ranked as Bt+CpTI cotton > Bt cotton > control cotton.     

Impact of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis cotton on a non-target pest Tetranychus spp. in northern China

Field studies were carried out to evaluate the effect of two transgenic cotton varieties (SGK321 carrying Cry1A+CpTI and DP99B carrying Cry1Ac) and the conventional variety (shiyuan321‐parental line of SGK321) on spider mites, Tetranychus spp. from 2002 to 2004. In 2002, this experiment included three treatments: Bt cotton field (SGK321) treated with acaricides against spider mites, untreated non‐Bt cotton field (Shiyuan321), and untreated Bt cotton field (SGK321). In 2003–2004, there are four types of treatments after a new transgenic Bt cotton variety, DP99B (non‐chemical control), was added into the experiments. The results showed that there were no significant difference in densities of spider mites among Bt without acaricides and non‐Bt without acaricides cotton fields, nor was there a significant difference in damage of spider mites to cotton among these treatments (P > 0.1). However, there are significant differences (P < 0.05) in densities of spider mites and damage caused by spider mites between cotton fields with and without acaricides. Acaricide significantly reduced the densities of spider mites in Bt cotton (P < 0.05). These results suggest that Bt cotton has no effect on spider mites populations. However, spider mites have the potential for severe damage in Bt cotton fields. Acaricides are essential tools in controlling cotton spider mites in northern China.     

Response of multiple generations of beet armyworm,Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), feeding on transgenic Bt cotton

Development, reproduction and food utilization of three successive generations of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), fed on transgenic and non‐transgenic Bt cotton were examined. Significantly longer larval life‐span and lower pupal weight were observed in three successive generations of S. exigua fed on transgenic Bt cotton compared with non‐transgenic Bt cotton. Significantly higher survival rate and adult fecundity of S. exigua were found in three successive generations of S. exigua fed on transgenic Bt cotton compared with non‐transgenic Bt cotton. The survival rate and adult fecundity of S. exigua were occurred significant increase in the third generation compared with the first generation after feeding on transgenic Bt cotton. Significantly lower consumption, frass and relative growth rate (RGR) were observed in three successive generations of S. exigua fed on transgenic Bt cotton compared with non‐transgenic Bt cotton. Cotton variety significantly affected all indices of larval consumption and utilization in three successive generations of S. exigua, except for efficiency of conversion of ingested food. However, beet armyworm generation only significantly affected RGR of S. exigua. The results of this study indicated food quality on the diet‐utilization efficiency of S. exigua was different along with beet armyworm generation. Measuring multigenerational development and food utilization of S. exigua at individual and population level in response to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) can provide a more meaningful evaluation of long‐term population dynamics than experiments on a single generation. It is imperative to develop an appropriate multigenerational pest management tactic to monitor the field population dynamics of non‐target pests (e.g., beet armyworm) in agricultural Bt cotton ecosystem.     

外源基因导入对棉花烟粉虱种群的影响

以转基因棉花和对应的常规棉花亲本为材料,探讨外源基因导入对棉花烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius)种群的影响。结果表明,在转基因棉花GK12、33B、SGK上,烟粉虱从卵发育到成虫羽化的历期分别为15.56、15.35和15.25 d,较对应的常规棉亲本SM3(19.38 d)、33(20.81 d)、SY321(18.76 d)分别短24.55%、26.23%、18.71%;GK12和33B棉花上烟粉虱的存活率(69.16%)分别较对应的常规棉亲本SM3(54.76%)和33(64.91%)高26.29%和12.81%,而SGK(63.21%)上烟粉虱的存活率与对应的常规棉亲本SY321(62.61%)之间差异不显著;烟粉虱在GK12(84.00)和33B(77.25)上的产卵量分别较SM3(62.25)、33(70.00)高34.93%和10.35%,但SGK和SY321之间差异不显著;在转基因棉花GK12、33B、SGK上,烟粉虱的雌雄性比分别比对应的常规棉亲本高26.71%、46.23%和19.17%。结果表明,外源基因导入后,有助于烟粉虱的发育,提高了烟粉虱的产卵量和雌雄性比,从而促进了烟粉虱种群的上升。     

Effect of pyramiding Bt and CpTI genes on resistance of cotton to Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) under laboratory and field conditions

Transgenic cotton (Cossypium hirsutum L.) varieties, adapted to China, have been bred that express two genes for resistance to insects, the CrylAc gene from Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) (Bt), and a trypsin inhibitor gene from cowpea (CpTI). Effectiveness of the double gene modification in conferring resistance to cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), was studied in laboratory and field experiments. In each experiment, performance of Bt+CpTI cotton was compared with Bt cotton and to a conventional nontransgenic variety. Larval survival was lower on both types of transgenic variety, compared with the conventional cotton. Survival of first-, second-, and third-stage larvae was lower on Bt+CpTI cotton than on Bt cotton. Plant structures differed in level of resistance, and these differences were similar on Bt and Bt + CpTI cotton. Likewise, seasonal trends in level of resistance in different plant structures were similar in Bt and Bt+CpTI cotton. Both types of transgenic cotton interfered with development of sixth-stage larvae to adults, and no offspring was produced by H. armigera that fed on Bt or Bt+CpTI cotton from the sixth stage onward. First-, second-, and third-stage larvae spent significantly less time feeding on transgenic cotton than on conventional cotton, and the reduction in feeding time was significantly greater on Bt+CpTI cotton than on Bt cotton. Food conversion efficiency was lower on transgenic varieties than on conventional cotton, but there was no significant difference between Bt and Bt+CpTI cotton. In 3-yr field experimentation, bollworm densities were greatly suppressed on transgenic as compared with conventional cotton, but no significant differences between Bt and Bt+CpTI cotton were found. Overall, the results from laboratory work indicate that introduction of the CpTI gene in Bt cotton raises some components of resistance in cotton against H. armigera, but enhanced control of H. armigera under field conditions, due to expression of the CpTI gene, was not demonstrated.
