葡萄花翅小卷蛾抗药性研究进展

葡萄花翅小卷蛾是葡萄上的重要害虫,具有多食性、多化性等生物学特点,抗逆能力极强。该虫起源于欧洲,现已入侵全球多个国家。葡萄花翅小卷蛾主要以幼虫取食葡萄花序、幼果和成熟果实,给葡萄生产造成重大损失;其危害有利于真菌的侵入,导致灰霉病、白粉病等病害大量发生,从而造成葡萄腐烂。由于该虫入侵风险极高,已被我国列为重要的进境检疫性有害生物。国外对葡萄花翅小卷蛾的防治主要采用化学杀虫剂,由于长期大量且不合理地使用化学杀虫剂,葡萄花翅小卷蛾已对多种不同类型的杀虫剂产生了抗药性。本研究总结了葡萄花翅小卷蛾的抗性测定方法、抗性现状及其抗性机理,同时结合国外葡萄花翅小卷蛾抗性和防治相关研究,提出该虫抗性治理策略,并对我国预防该虫的入侵提出建议。

Isolation and Characterization of a Mutant Colicin E2

Escherichia coli K-12 colicinogenic for Col E2 yielded a mutant, SK95, that carries a nonsense mutation in the colicin structural gene. A derivative of SK95 that carries an as yet unidentified suppressor mutation produces a colicin E2 that is temperature sensitive (TS). This mutant colicin kills sensitive cells at low temperature but not at high temperature; the colicin adsorbs to cells at high temperature but does not kill them unless the temperature is lowered. Unlike normal colicin E2, which adsorbs rapidly to cells, TS colicin E2 adsorbs slowly over a period of several hours. The biochemical target of colicin E2 is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). When acid solubilization of DNA was compared in cells treated with either TS or normal colicin E2, striking differences were observed. Cell killing and acid solubilization of DNA by colicin E2 were shown to be separable events under certain conditions. The results are discussed in relation to the mechanism of action of colicin E2.     

A comparative account of the life cycles of Lumbricillus lineatus Mull. and Enchytraeus albidus Henle in relation to temperature

Compared with Lumbricillus lineatus the cocoons of Enchytraeus albidus are smaller and contain fewer eggs whilst the egg production per worm is higher and sterility among the eggs lower. The fecundity of E. albidus is greater over a temperature range 1–25 and is not so adversely affected at the higher or lower temperatures as L. lineatus. Incubation in E. albidus is longer than in L. lineatus but the time required for maturation is much shorter, the periods depending upon the temperature. There is a similar relation to temperature as in the case of fecundity, with E. albidus again more tolerant to heat and cold. There is no relation between size and temperature but unlike L. lineatus , growth occurs after maturation in E. albidus and its cocoons (after the first) and their egg content are larger. There is no apparent relation between the setae length and temperature. The temperature relations favour a more rapid increase of E. albidus in the bacteria beds than of L. lineatus but they are well suited to the distribution of the species under natural conditions, E. albidus favouring a terrestrial habitat whereas L. lineatus exists in moister places. Further, they show specific physiological differences distinguishing the two species of worms.     

The formation of intramolecular disulfide bridges is required for induction of the Sindbis virus mutant ts23 phenotype.

The Sindbis virus envelope protein spike is a hetero-oligomeric complex composed of a trimer of glycoprotein E1-E2 heterodimers. Spike assembly is a multistep process which occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is required for the export of E1 from the ER. PE2 (precursor to E2), however, can transit through the secretory pathway and be expressed at the cell surface in the absence of E1. Although oligomer formation does not appear to be required for the export of PE2, there is evidence that defects in E1 folding can affect PE2 transit from the ER. Temperature-sensitive mutant ts23 of Sindbis virus contains two amino acid substitutions in E1, while PE2 and capsid protein have the wild-type sequence; however, at the nonpermissive temperature, both E1 and PE2 are retained within the ER and can be isolated in protein aggregates with the molecular chaperone GRP78-BiP. We previously demonstrated that the temperature sensitivity for ts23 was lost as oligomer formation took place at the permissive temperature, suggesting that temperature sensitivity is initiated early in the process of viral spike assembly (M. Carleton and D. T. Brown, J. Virol. 70:952-959, 1996). Experiments described herein investigated the defects in envelope protein maturation that occur in ts23-infected cells and which result in retention of both envelope proteins in the ER. The data demonstrate that in ts23-infected cells incubated at the nonpermissive temperature, E1 folding is disrupted early after synthesis, resulting in the rapid incorporation of both E1 and PE2 into disulfide-stabilized aggregates. Furthermore, the aberrant E1 conformation which is responsible for induction of the ts phenotype requires the formation of intramolecular disulfide bridges formed prior to E1 association with PE2 and the completion of E1 folding.     

Photoreactions of cisoid 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadienes. Direct irradiation in solution and in low temperature organic glass.

The photoreactions of 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadienes (DPB) fused with a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptano ring under direct irradiation were examined in solution at room temperature and in organic glass at liquid nitrogen temperature. Photocyclization yielding a phenylnaphthalene compound was shown to be preceded by facile E,E to E,Z photoisomerization. The reverse E,Z to E,E isomerization took place with equal ease in low temperature organic glass and in solution at room temperature. The pattern of reaction at low temperature is consistent with the involvement of the Hula-twist mechanism. However, complexity in conformational population, suggested by ab initio calculated data, made the experimental evidence less clear-cut than in previously reported examples of HT.     

Mechanical properties of DNA films

The Young's dynamical modulus (E) and the DNA film logarithmic decrement (theta) at frequencies from 50 Hz to 20 kHz are measured. These values are investigated as functions of the degree of hydration and temperature. Isotherms of DNA film hydration at 25 degrees C are measured. The process of film hydration changing with temperature is studied. It is shown that the Young's modulus for wet DNA films (E = 0.02-0.025 GN m-2) strongly increases with decreasing hydration and makes E = 0.5-0.7 GN m-2. Dependence of E on hydration is of a complex character. Young's modulus of denatured DNA films is larger than that of native ones. All peculiarities of changing of E and theta of native DNA films (observed at variation of hydration) vanish in the case of denatured ones. The native and denatured DNA films isotherms are different and depend on the technique of denaturation. The Young's modulus of DNA films containing greater than 1 g H2O/g dry DNA is found to decrease with increasing temperature, undergoing a number of step-like changes accompanied by changes in the film hydration. At low water content (less than 0.3 g H2O/g dry DNA), changing of E with increasing temperature takes place smoothly. The denaturation temperature is a function of the water content.     

Thermodependence of growth and enzymatic activities implicated in pathogenicity of two Erwinia carotovora subspecies (Pectobacterium spp.)

Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica and Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora can cause substantial damage to economically important plant crops and stored products. The occurrence of the disease and the scale of the damage are temperature dependent. Disease development consists first of active multiplication of the bacteria in the infection area and then production of numerous extracellular enzymes. We investigated the effects of various temperatures on these two steps. We assayed the specific growth rate and the pectate lyase and protease activities for eight strains belonging to E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica and E. carotovora subsp. carotovora in vitro. The temperature effect on growth rate and on pectate lyase activity is different for the two subspecies, but protease activity appears to be similarly thermoregulated. Our results are in agreement with ecological data implicating E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica in disease when the temperature is below 20 degrees C. The optimal temperature for pathogenicity appears to be different from the optimal growth temperature but seems to be a compromise between this temperature and temperatures at which lytic activities are maximal.     

Environmental influences on the distribution of the rare Eucalyptus paliformis and the common E. fraxinoides

Abstract Eucalyptus paliformis is restricted to seven small populations within an area of <5 km2 on the Wadbilliga Plateau of south-eastern NSW. It occurs as a dominant tree in habitats superficially similar to those of the more widespread E. fraxinoides, which dominates forests immediately adjacent to the E. paliformis populations. This study examined factors which may influence the replacement of E. fraxinoides by E. paliformis, and similarly, factors which exclude E. paliformis from sites dominated by E. fraxinoides. Seedling growth and competition experiments indicated that E. fraxinoides outcompetes E. paliformis under unburnt field conditions, on field soils, under high and low moisture regimes, under high light and high nutrient conditions, and under a range of temperature regimes. Thus, it is likely that E. paliformis is excluded from E. fraxinoides sites by competition. However, further investigation of the competitive relationship between the two species under recently-burnt conditions is still required to test this hypothesis. The exclusion of E. fraxinoides from E. paliformis sites is unlikely to be due to soil types or moisture regimes. Further, temperature regimes do not appear to be important in reducing the competitive advantage of E. fraxinoides over E. paliformis, leaving survival at low temperature extremes as the most promising avenue for further investigation. Temperature measurements, and evidence for low temperature dormancy mechanisms in seeds of E. paliformis but not E. fraxinoides, support the hypothesis that E. fraxinoides is excluded from E. paliformis sites by low temperature extremes.     

Temperature tolerance of some estuarine fishes

The temperature tolerance of estuarine fishes Etroplus suratensis (Bloch), Therapon jarbua (Forsskal), Ambassis commersoni (Cuvier) collected from Vellar estuary, South India in 1986-87 were determined in the laboratory. E. suratensis and T. jarbua were found to be more tolerant to a wide range of temperature (16.5-41.5 degrees C for E. suratensis and 13.5-40.6 degrees C for T. jarbua), A. commersoni could tolerate from 15.5 to 38.5 degrees C. The tolerance area was found to be 512 units in E. suratensis, 629 units in T. jarbua and 442 units in A. commersoni. Among the fishes tested T. jarbua had a high tolerance area (629 units) than other fishes tested. It is evident from the results that 15 degrees C increase in acclimation temperature cause a shift of 4.02 degrees C (E. suratensis) and 3.05 degrees C (T. jarbua and A. commersoni) in upper incipient lethal temperature.     

A Mechanism for Precision-Sensing via a Gradient-Sensing Pathway: A Model of Escherichia coli Thermotaxis

Thermotaxis is the phenomenon where an organism directs its movement toward its preferred temperature. So far, the molecular origin for this precision-sensing behavior remains a puzzle. We propose a model of Escherichia coli thermotaxis and show that the precision-sensing behavior in E. coli thermotaxis can be carried out by the gradient-sensing chemotaxis pathway under two general conditions. First, the thermosensor response to temperature is inverted by its internal adaptation state. For E. coli, chemoreceptor Tar changes from a warm sensor to a cold sensor on increase of its methylation level. Second, temperature directly affects the adaptation kinetics. The adapted activity in E. coli increases with temperature in contrast to the perfect adaptation to chemical stimuli. Given these two conditions, E. coli thermotaxis is achieved by the cryophilic and thermophilic responses for temperature above and below a critical temperature T_c, which is encoded by internal pathway parameters. Our model results are supported by both experiments with adaptation-disabled mutants and the recent temperature impulse response measurements for wild-type cells. T_c is predicted to decrease with the background attractant concentration. This mechanism for precision sensing in an adaptive gradient-sensing system may apply to other organisms, such as Dictyostelium discoideum and Caenorhabditis elegans.
