小麦-油菜邻作对麦田主要害虫和天敌的影响

应用昆虫群落生态学的群落特性分析方法,于2008年和2009年在河北省邯郸市调查了小麦与油菜邻作对麦田蚜虫及主要天敌群落的构成、丰富度和稳定性的影响.结果表明：小麦与油菜田间昆虫群落的组成相似,主要田间害虫为蚜虫,其捕食性天敌包括瓢虫类、草蛉类、蜘蛛类和食蚜蝇,寄生性天敌为蚜茧蜂;两年间田间昆虫群落的组成有一定的变化,但均表现为邻近油菜的麦田蚜虫丰富度最低,捕食性天敌和寄生性天敌的丰富度最高;邻近油菜的麦田昆虫群落、麦蚜亚群落、捕食性天敌亚群落的稳定性高,远离油菜的稳定性低.该模式可以有效保护和利用天敌,增强田间自然天敌对害虫的控制能力.     

蚜虫新型预警网络的构建及其绿色防控技术研究

在公益性行业（农业）科研专项的支持下,项目组在我国大豆和小麦主产区进行了蚜虫监测预警及绿色防控技术的研究。构建了基于吸虫塔的蚜虫监测预警网络系统,在蚜虫基础生物学研究、天敌资源普查及其控蚜作用研究的基础上,研发了多项以生物防治为主体的蚜虫绿色防控技术,包括天敌人工助迁、人工饲养天敌释放、作物邻间作措施、物理防控、隐蔽性施药等。相关技术措施在我国的东北、华北等大豆蚜、麦蚜为害严重的大豆产区和小麦主产区共建立了4个规模较大的试验示范区,取得了较好的综合效益。     

小麦和牧草上的蚜虫与天敌种群动态及其相互关系

2008年4月底至6月初在山东禹城调查了小麦和3种牧草上的蚜虫和天敌种群密度。结果表明,麦蚜种群高峰期在5月中旬,寄生蜂和瓢虫的高峰期比蚜虫分别滞后5—10d和15～20d;麦蚜种群增长率与天敌种群密度变化呈负相关,其中与瓢虫的相关性达到显著水平;4月底至5月初小麦抽穗期是麦蚜种群爆发的关键时期,天敌密度低、害益比大是爆发的重要原因;4月底至5月初,牧草上的天敌密度是小麦上的2～3倍。牧草在麦蚜种群生态调控中具有潜在应用价值。     

张掖麦蚜对菊酯类杀虫剂的抗药性

麦长管蚜[Sitobion avenae(Fab.)]和麦二叉蚜[Schizaphis graminum(Rond.)]是为害麦类作物的主要蚜虫,在我国分布很广,为害严重。麦蚜的防治多采用乐果、氧化乐果、甲胺磷等农药。近年防效有下降趋势,故有改用杀螟松、抗蚜威等农药,也有用溴氰菊酯和氰戊菊酯类杀虫剂的。 在进行麦蚜抗药性研究中,作者发现防效较好的菊酯类杀虫剂,在甘肃省张掖的田间防蚜效果很差、于是我们选用5种菊酯类杀虫剂对不同地区麦蚜进行了毒力比较,同时作了田间防治试验,以期查明张掖麦蚜对菊酯类杀虫剂是否确有抗性存在。     

小麦与蔬菜蚜虫新型防控技术研究进展

近几年通过国内外科研协作,小麦及蔬菜蚜虫基础及防控技术研究有了长足进展:在害虫行为调控技术方面,通过蚜虫报警激素反-β-法尼烯[(E)-β-Farnesene,EBF]等挥发物缓释对蚜虫及其天敌种群调查,明确了田间应用剂量及持效期、释放点间距、释放器放置高度,以及EBF与化学农药协调应用对蚜虫控制及对天敌的引诱效果及其作用机理,发展了防控小麦、蔬菜蚜虫的"推-拉"技术;在利用作物多样性布局对害虫生态调控技术方面,研究明确小麦与多种作物间、套及混种对蚜虫具有良好控制作用及其最佳作物布局模式,并揭示其降低蚜虫密度、保护天敌及提高土地利用当量等增产效果;筛选了植物源杀虫活性成分,发现博落回提取物中血根碱及植物凝集素对麦蚜具有强杀虫活性,开发获得了一种博落回提取物(Macleaya cordata extract,简称MCE)与烟碱复配配方,杀蚜虫效果达98.9%;通过技术集成研究与示范,在河南、河北与山东推广应用;并采用可量化评价体系,获得当地农民及农技推广部门的反馈意见,对区域集成技术进行调整。研究结果对改变目前过度依赖化学农药防治小麦、蔬菜病虫害的现状,减少农药使用和残留、促进农民增收等小麦、蔬菜病虫害绿色防控技术的开发推广及食品安全具有重要意义。     

田间麦蚜计数方法的研究

<正> 麦蚜是小麦等作物上的一类重要害虫,常发生年份会造成小麦5～10％的产量损失。关于它的防治指标,生产上一般以百株(穗)或单株(穗〕有多少头而确定的。然而,逐株(穗)计数(简称逐个计数法)蚜虫,不但费时,而且不可避免地带来较大的偏差。所以,目前在生产上又采用了麦蚜指数调查法和以蚜虫单位计数蚜虫的方法。然而,这二种方法与逐个计数法之间有什么关系,怎样将这后二种方法运用到麦蚜的防治指标上去,目前很少有人研究。为此,     

我国麦蚜抗药性及研究现状

麦蚜是危害我国小麦Triticum aestivum L.生产的主要害虫,具有分布广、数量大、繁殖力强以及远距离迁飞等特点,不仅直接吸食小麦汁液,还传播多种植物病毒,每年造成小麦减产10%~30%。目前对麦蚜的防控主要以化学防治为主,但由于化学杀虫剂长期或不合理的使用,多地麦蚜对常用杀虫剂产生了不同程度的抗性。本文从麦蚜抗药性测定方法、抗性水平及交互抗性、代谢和靶标抗性机制、以及麦蚜抗药性综合治理等方面进行了综述,以期为麦蚜的防治及杀虫剂的持续合理使用提供理论参考和依据。     

小麦不同品种上麦蚜及其天敌的数量变动

试验结果表明小麦品种 (系 )的抗性对麦蚜种群数量影响很大 ,百株蚜量随着小麦品种抗性增强而下降。而同一小麦品种对不同种蚜虫的抗性存在质的差异 ,铭贤 1 69品种 ,蚜高峰期百株蚜量麦长管蚜 63 0头 ,禾谷缢管蚜只有 1 1 5头 ,两者相差 5 5倍。另一方面 ,小麦品种抗性对麦田天敌的种群数量影响不大 ,而对天敌的发生期有些影响。因此 ,小麦品种抗性、天敌对麦蚜的自然控制能力 ,可把小麦中后期的蚜虫虫口密度控制在经济损失允许水平之下。

How aphid alarm pheromone can control aphids: a review

Aphids are the major pests of arable crops, mostly in temperate regions. They are monophagous as well as polyphagous. They inflict damage in brassica, potato, cotton, vegetable and fruit crops. They damage their host plant directly by feeding upon their phloem sap, or indirectly by transmitting pathogens to them. Their life cycle can be autoecious as well as heteroecious. Aphids use semiochemicals for various purposes, in gathering information from their environment and for communication among themselves. They protect themselves from predators and parasitoids by escape response which is arbitrated by use of alarm pheromone signalling. When alarm pheromone, (E)-ß-farnesene, is released, nearby aphids exhibit a variety of behaviours like moving away, running, dropping off the plant and even attacking the predator. Previous studies of integrated pest management strategies have been aimed at the usage of alarm pheromone. However, scientists require complete knowledge of aphid ecology as well as aphid interaction with its natural enemies to establish efficient and viable biological control. This review presents analysis of the existing aphid pest management methodologies and effectiveness of alarm pheromone on aphids and their natural enemies.     

Classification of host plants of aphids (Homoptera, Aphidoidea) as related to their selection and use by aphids under the recent conditions of biogeocenosis transformation

Aphids are pests of agricultural crops and vectors of phytopathogenic viruses. At the same time they make up a very important component of biodiversity; for example, in Moldova only 9% of aphid species are pests. The trophic reactions of aphids related to selection and use of the host plants are far from being well-known. This paper presents an attempt at classification of the aphid host plants, based on analysis of the published data and those obtained by the authors in their studies in Leningrad Province of Russia and in the Republic of Moldova focused on the specific traits of epigenesis and population structure as well as the behavior, feeding, and reproduction of the aphids. The plants are classified by the degree of preference shown by the aphids.     

Aphid alarm pheromone: an overview of current knowledge on biosynthesis and functions

Aphids are important agricultural and forest pests that exhibit complex behaviors elicited by pheromonal signals. The aphid alarm pheromone--of which (E)-β-farnesene is the key (or only) component in most species--plays important roles in mediating interactions among individuals as well as multitrophic interactions among plants, aphids, and aphid natural enemies. Though many important questions remain to be answered, a large body of research has addressed various aspects of the biology, physiology, and ecology of aphid alarm pheromones. Here we review recent advances in our understanding of (a) the identity and composition of aphid alarm signals; (b) their biosynthesis and production; (c) their effects on conspecifics; (d) their role as cues for other insect species; and (e) their potential application for the management of pest organisms.     

Metabolic Engineering of Plant-derived (E)-β-farnesene Synthase Genes for a Novel Type of Aphid-resistant Genetically Modified Crop Plants

Aphids are major agricultural pests that cause significant yield losses of crop plants each year.Excessive dependence on insec-ticides for long-term aphid control is undesirable because of the development of insecticide resistance,the potential negative effects on non-target organisms and environmental pollution.Transgenic crops engineered for resistance to aphids via a non-toxic mode of action could be an efficient alternative strategy.(E)-β-Farnesene (EβF) synthases catalyze the formation of EβF,which for many pest aphids is the main component of the alarm pheromone involved in the chemical communication within these species.EβF can also be synthesized by certain plants but is then normally contaminated with inhibitory compounds.Engineering of crop plants capable of synthesizing and emitting EβF could cause repulsion of aphids and also the attraction of natural enemies that use EβF as a foraging cue,thus minimizing aphid infestation.In this review,the effects of aphids on host plants,plants' defenses against aphid herbivory and the recruitment of natural enemies for aphid control in an agricultural setting are briefly introduced.Furthermore,the plant-derived EβF synthase genes cloned to date along with their potential roles in generating novel aphid resistance via genetically modified approaches are discussed.     

蚜虫学研究现状与学科发展趋势

蚜虫由于本身具有的一些特性,如周期性的孤雌生殖、多样的生活史、卵生或卵胎生、多样化的虫瘿、行为分化等特征,成为众多昆虫学家和进化生物学家研究的对象,以蚜虫为研究模型可以解决很多重大的生物学问题。综合最新的研究成果,本文从蚜虫系统学、蚜虫与寄主植物的关系、蚜虫生物地理学和多样性、蚜虫生物学和生态学、蚜虫行为学、蚜虫与内共生菌关系以及蚜虫功能基因组学等方面综述了蚜虫学的研究进展,并指出了蚜虫学研究中的热点。     

The role of olfaction in aphid host location

Aphids are major economic pests of many of the worlds' crops, causing damage directly by feeding and by acting as vectors for plant viruses. By understanding how aphids locate their host plants, it may become possible to develop new means of controlling populations by taking advantage of these natural host location/nonhost avoidance behaviours. Aphids have also become important model organisms in the study of insect–plant interactions and an improved understanding of host location in aphids could yield insights into the behaviour and ecology of other insect orders. The use of olfaction by host‐seeking aphids is well documented and, in recent years, considerable information has been gained on how volatiles can encode host identity and suitability, as well as the specific behaviours they elicit from aphids. The purpose of this review is to highlight the major findings on how aphids respond behaviourally to volatile compounds and how they can use them to locate their host plants and avoid unsuitable hosts.     

施钾提高蚜害诱导的小麦茉莉酸含量和叶片相关防御酶活性

研究表明,施钾能够提高作物对蚜虫的抗性,但其机理尚不明确。试验采用营养液培养的方法,设置2 mmol/L和0.005mmol/L KCl两个钾浓度,分析不同钾水平培养下的小麦植株在蚜虫为害后,体内茉莉酸(JA)和水杨酸(SA)的含量和脂氧合酶(LOX)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)和过氧化物酶(POD)等防御酶活性的变化。结果表明,低钾胁迫显著降低了小麦体内JA和SA的含量,并且诱导LOX和POD酶活性增强,但是对PPO和PAL酶活性没有显著影响。蚜虫为害48 h后,高钾小麦体内JA含量显著高于低钾植株,而SA含量没有明显变化。高钾显著提高了蚜虫为害后小麦叶片中的LOX、PAL、PPO和POD酶活性,而低钾小麦体内4种酶的活性在整个虫害调查期间均没有显著变化。研究表明,充足供钾能够显著提高小麦受到蚜虫为害后体内茉莉酸含量,激活其体内的JA信号传导途径,从而提高防御酶活性,增强其对蚜虫的抵御能力。     

抗蚜基因及其转基因植物的研究进展

在我国目前的环境条件下,蚜虫作为农业害虫和植物病毒的传播者,已经成为严重威胁农业生产发展重要的害虫之一。抗蚜植物基因工程可以有效抑制蚜虫危害,并且随着对生命科学的深入理解和技术手段的日益成熟,得到广泛的关注和重视。抗蚜植物基因工程的核心是抗蚜基因的筛选、转抗蚜基因植物的培育以及生物安全性。本文讨论了多种抗蚜基因,并重点论述雪花莲凝集素和苋菜凝集素基因在目前科学研究和生产实践的应用。     

Aphid resistance in Brassica crops: challenges, biotechnological progress and emerging possibilities

Aphids, (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) a nefarious insect pest of Brassicaceae members including major vegetable and oilseed crops have coevolved with their host plant and emerged as most economically important insect pest of crop Brassicas. Their atypical feeding mechanism and unusual reproductive biology made them intractable to control below economic threshold level of damage to the crops. To a large extent aphid infestation is controlled by spraying agrochemicals of systemic mode of action and rarely by biological control. Use of systemic insecticides is highly cost intensive as well poses bigger threat of their incorporation in dietary chain. Breeding for genetic resistance against aphids has not been possible owing to the non-availability of resistance source within the crossable germplasms and lack of knowledge of the genetics of the trait. Genetic engineering with insect resistant transgenes seems to be the only potential avenue to address this difficult-to-accomplish breeding objective. Some success had been achieved in terms of developing aphid resistant cultivars through genetic engineering however, commercial utilization of such crops are still awaited. Thus protection of crops against aphids necessarily requires more research to identify either more effective insecticidal transgenes or biological phenomenon that can usher to new mechanism of resistance. The present review is an attempt to highlight the current status and possible avenues to develop aphid resistance in Brassicaceae crops.
