苏云金杆菌预处理棉铃虫二龄幼虫对氰戊菊酯抗性缓解及机理研究(英文)

本文研究了Ｂ．ｔ预处理棉铃虫二龄幼虫对氰戊菊酯抗性缓解及其机理。结果表明,Ｂ．ｔ预处理后的幼虫对氰戊菊酯的敏感性提高。与敏感性种群相比较,在Ｂ．ｔ预处理和未处理两个抗性种群的幼虫对氰戊菊酯的ＬＤ_５０之间纯比值分别大约增加了６２．６％和８０．９％。特异性酶抑制剂对乙酰胆碱酯酶的抑制作用显示,在活体内,马拉氧磷和甲基对氧磷对乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制效率提高了６６．１％和９９．８％;在活体外抑制效率（Ｉ_５０） ６０％和６７．５％及５５．６５％和８６．４％。同时,乙酰胆碱酯酶动力学各因子变化显著。在Ｂ．ｔ预处理的抗性棉铃虫幼虫中,Ｋｍ值从４５．５８％减少到６８．６２％;Ｋｉ值分别增加了２１．２％和４０．９％及３８．２％和６１．５％。这些结果证实Ｂ．ｔ预处理２４ｈ抗性棉铃虫二龄幼虫对氰戊菊酯的敏感性提高,乙酸胆碱酯酶的变化是重要原因之一。这一研究为在ＩＰＭ系统中将微生物杀虫剂和化学杀虫剂协调使用缓解棉铃虫对拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂的抗性提供理论基础。     

Identification of factors responsible for insecticide resistance in Helicoverpa armigera

Moth larvae (Helicoverpa armigera Hübner) collected from field crops were tested for resistance to cypermethrin, fenvalerate, endosulfan, monocrotophos and quinolphos. Larvae were treated with a dose of the pesticide that would kill 99% of the susceptible insects. The percent survival of the resistant strains was determined. Highest seasonal average percentage survival was recorded by fenvalerate (65.0%) followed by cypermethrin (62.4%). Acetylcholinesterase of resistant larvae was less sensitive to monocrotophos and methyl paraoxon. Resistant larvae showed higher activities of esterases, phosphatases and methyl paraoxon hydrolase compared with susceptible larvae. The presence of high activity of esterases was attributed to appearance of extra bands of esterases in native PAGE. The presence of P-glycoprotein expression was detected in resistant larvae using P-gp antibodies; this was not detected in the susceptible larvae. Our results indicate that the high level of resistance detected in the field pests could be because of a combined effect of decreased sensitivity to AChE, higher levels of esterases, phosphatases and the expression of P-gp.     

棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯抗性遗传分析

本文采用剂量对数-死亡机率值回归线(LD-P线)分析法, 利用室内选育的棉铃虫 Heliccverpa armitera(Hubner)对氰戊菊酯抗性晶系和敏感品系,研究了棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯的抗性遗传规律。结果表明,棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯的抗性为多基因遗传,其主要基因为不完全显性,抗性不属性连锁遗传。利用增效剂对抗性机理进行的研究表明,多功能氧化酶(MFO)是棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯产生抗药性的主要因子,因此,可以推断多功能氧化酶基因为不完全显性。     

棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯-辛硫磷混剂的抗性演化及解毒酶活性变化

用氰戊菊酯-辛硫磷混剂（有效成分1∶10,简称氰-辛混剂）对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera室内品系(YS)进行16代的抗性选育,获得棉铃虫对氰-辛混剂的抗性品系（YS-FP）。YS-FP品系与YS品系相比,对氰-辛混剂的抗性为14.7倍,对其中的单剂氰戊菊酯和辛硫磷的抗性分别为2 170倍和3.1倍。随着筛选的进行,氰戊菊酯和辛硫磷之间的共毒系数在F₂代出现短暂的增加,然后逐渐降低,它们之间的互作由增效变为拮抗。交互抗性测定结果表明,YS-FP品系对氯氰菊酯、溴氰菊酯、三氟氯氰菊酯、三唑磷和灭多威产生了明显的交互抗性,对硫丹、多杀菌素和爱玛菌素没有产生交互抗性。YS-FP品系6龄幼虫中肠细胞色素P450氧化酶甲氧基香豆素O-脱甲基活性为YS品系的10倍,3龄幼虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶和酯酶活性分别是YS品系的1.7倍（CDNB结合作用）和2.4倍（α-NA 酯酶水解作用）。氰-辛混剂的筛选导致了棉铃虫多种解毒酶活性的增加,特别是细胞色素P450氧化酶活性增强最为明显。本研究结果表明氰-辛混剂对棉铃虫的筛选导致了广谱的交互抗性和多种代谢抗性机理,并且两个单剂之间的互作由增效变为拮抗,因此氰 辛混剂在棉铃虫抗性治理中的作用是有限的和暂时的。     

Correlation between fenvalerate resistance and cytochrome P450-mediated O-demethylation activity in Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are a major metabolic mechanism responsible for pyrethroid resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) from Asia. Cytochrome P450-mediated O-demethylation activity toward p-nitroanisole (PNOD) of individual fourth instars was determined in five strains of H. armigera by using a microplate reader. The four resistant strains of YS, HD, YGF, and YG59 had 6-, 71-, 2540-, and 11,800-fold resistance, respectively, to fenvalerate in comparison with the susceptible BK77 strain. Their mean PNOD activity was 4-, 10-, 24-, and 60-fold, respectively, compared with the BK77 strain. A strong positive correlation (correlation coefficient r = 0.98) between PNOD activity and fenvalerate resistance was found. Of 48 larvae from each strain, only 4% larvae of the susceptible BK77 strain had detectable PNOD activity, whereas 25, 33, 79, and 96% of larvae from the resistant strains YS, HD, YGF, and YG59 exhibited PNOD activity, respectively. There was a clear discrimination of patterns of PNOD frequency distribution between H. armigera strains and their magnitudes of fenvalerate resistance. The PNOD activity can be used as a biochemical marker for monooxygenase-mediated pyrethroid resistance in field populations of H. armigera.     

Hydrolysis of organophosphorus compounds by an esterase isozyme from insecticide resistant pest Helicoverpa armigera

Esterase activity of resistant and susceptible H. armigera were compared in gels with different substrate such as naphthyl acetate, naphthyl phosphate, paraoxon and monocrotophos. Whole body extract of resistant H. armigera hydrolyzed paraoxon, monocrotophos and naphthyl phosphate in gels. Resistant H. armigera showed high esterase, phosphatase and paraoxon hydrolase activity compared to susceptible ones.     

The involvement of microsomal oxidases in pyrethroid resistance in Helicoverpa armigera from Asia

Five contemporary strains of the bollworm Helicoverpa armigera Hübner from China, Pakistan and India, all with high resistance to pyrethroids, were compared with a standard susceptible strain that originated from the Cote D'Ivoire in the 1970s ('SCD'). Two of the Chinese strains ('YGF' and 'YGFP') were derived by laboratory selection from a third, field collected strain ('YG'). The strain 'YG' exhibited 7-, 14- and 21-fold resistance to fenvalerate, cypermethrin and deltamethrin, respectively. After selection with fenvalerate for 14 generations ('YGF'), this increased to 1690-, 540- and 73-fold. Selection with a mixture of fenvalerate and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) for 14 generations ('YGFP') resulted in resistance ratios of 2510, 2920 and 286. The synergistic ratios to fenvalerate that resulted from pre-treatment of PBO were 5-, 462- and 12-fold in YG, YGF and YGFP strains, respectively. Resistance ratios for a Pakistani strain (PAK) were 2320-, 4100- and 223-fold to fenvalerate, cypermethrin and deltamethrin, respectively. The synergistic ratio of PBO to these pyrethroids was 450-, 950- and 11-fold. The strong synergism of pyrethroids by PBO implied that an oxidative metabolism could be involved in pyrethroid resistance in these resistant strains. The activities of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases from midguts of final instar larvae to p-nitroanisole (PNOD), ethoxycoumarin (ECOD), methoxyresorufin (MROD) significantly increased in all the resistant strains when compared with the susceptible strain. This further implies that cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are involved in pyrethroid resistance in Asian H. armigera. Comparative in vitro studies of the metabolism of 14C-deltamethrin by midgut microsomes of the resistant PAK and susceptible SCD strains showed that the resistant strain had a much greater capacity than the susceptible strain for the metabolic degradation of deltamethrin. This enhanced metabolic degradation occurred in the presence of NADPH which suggested an oxidative detoxification. In the resistant strains, minor increases in glutathione S-transferase activity (to the substrates CDNB and DCNB), and esterase activity (to the substrate alpha-naphthyl acetate) further suggested that, of the putative metabolic mechanisms, oxidases are the most important. This study provides the first evidence that cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are a major metabolic mechanism responsible for pyrethroid resistance in H. armigera from Asia.     

Relative fitness of Cry1A-resistant and -susceptible Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on conventional and transgenic cotton

Glasshouse and laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the relative fitness of Cry1A-susceptible and laboratory-selected resistant strains of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). Life history parameters of H. armigera larvae feeding on young cotton plants showed a significant developmental delay of up to 7 d for the resistant strain compared with the susceptible strain on non-Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton. This fitness cost was not evident on artificial diet. There was no developmental delay in the F1 hybrid progeny from the reciprocal backcross of the resistant and susceptible strains, indicating that the fitness cost is recessive. In two cohorts tested, survival to pupation of resistant larvae on Bt cotton expressing Cry1Ac was 54 and 51% lower than on non-Bt cotton, whereas all susceptible and F1 larvae tested on Cry1Ac cotton were killed. Mortality of susceptible larvae occurred in the first or second instar, whereas the F1 larvae were able to develop to later instars before dying, demonstrating that resistance is incompletely recessive. The intrinsic rate of increase was reduced by >50% in the resistant strain on Cry1Ac cotton compared with the susceptible strain on non-Bt cotton. There was a significant reduction in the survival of postdiapausal adults from the resistant strain and the F1 strains, indicating that there is a nonrecessive overwintering cost associated with Cry1A resistance in H. armigera.     

复配杀虫剂BtA对棉铃虫的杀虫效果及对天敌中红侧沟茧蜂蛹和成虫的触杀毒性(英文)

为了科学施药, 合理保护和利用天敌对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera进行综合防治, 本研究在室内测定和比较了复配杀虫剂BtA和7种常用杀虫剂（阿维菌素、 Bt、 β-氯氰菊酯、辛硫磷、定虫隆、氰戊菊酯和丁硫克百威）对棉铃虫的杀虫效果及对其天敌中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator蛹和雌成虫的触杀毒性。采用浸叶法测定杀虫剂在室内72 h内对棉铃虫3龄幼虫的杀虫效果, 结果表明： 与其他杀虫剂相比, BtA对棉铃虫幼虫具有更高的毒性和致死效应 (LC₅₀=0.7364 mg/mL)。将棉铃虫3龄幼虫接到用浓度4 mg/mL上述杀虫剂分别处理过的大白菜上24, 48和72 h, 发现其死亡率之间存在显著差异（P≤0.05）。但在72 h后, BtA和其他杀虫剂对棉铃虫幼虫的杀虫效果之间并无显著差异(P>0.05)。BtA施药后, 随着时间的延长, 棉铃虫幼虫的死亡率也在增加。另外, 通过杀虫剂对寄生蜂中红侧沟茧蜂蛹和雌成虫的触杀毒性的生物测定发现： 与β-氯氰菊酯、 氰戊菊酯和丁硫克百威相比, BtA对中红侧沟茧蜂蛹和雌成虫的毒性较低, 对其蛹和雌成虫致死率分别仅为13.82%和7.33%。本研究证明BtA对鳞翅目害虫具有中等毒性, 而对寄生蜂中红侧沟茧蜂则具有较低毒性。     

茚虫威亚致死浓度对茚虫威敏感性降低的棉铃虫生物学参数及解毒酶活性的影响

【目的】本研究旨在明确茚虫威亚致死浓度对茚虫威敏感性降低的棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera生物学参数及解毒酶活性的影响,以科学有效防治这一害虫,避免其对茚虫威的抗性快速发展。【方法】采用浸叶法测定了茚虫威对棉铃虫茚虫威抗性汰选种群(TP)及其同源对照种群(CP)3龄幼虫的毒力;用两性生命表分析LC₂₀浓度茚虫威对TP种群当代(F₀)生命表参数的影响,并测定了LC₂₀浓度茚虫威处理48 h后CP和TP种群棉铃虫3龄幼虫体内解毒酶［多功能氧化酶(MFO)、羧酸酯酶(CarE)和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GST)］及乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)的活性。【结果】茚虫威对棉铃虫CP种群和TP种群3龄幼虫的LC₂₀分别为2.27和9.91 mg/L。LC₂₀茚虫威处理TP种群后,48 h的生长量、化蛹率、羽化率和成虫畸形率均显著低于未用药对照,而特定年龄生命期望值e_xj高于未用药对照;TP种群棉铃虫3龄幼虫体内GST和MFO活性与CP种群相比显著升高,CarE活性显著降低。【结论】本研究结果表明棉铃虫TP种群在LC₂₀浓度茚虫威胁迫下存在明显的生长与繁殖不利性,同时对其也产生了适应能力。LC₂₀浓度茚虫威处理后,棉铃虫TP种群的GST和MFO活性被显著诱导,说明这两种酶可能与棉铃虫对茚虫威产生抗药性密切相关;而CarE活性被显著抑制,说明该酶可能参与了茚虫威转化成N-脱甲氧羰基代谢物(DCJW)的活化过程。     

Fitness of Cry1A-resistant and -susceptible Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on transgenic cotton with reduced levels of Cry1Ac

The performance of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) on 15-wk-old cotton plants was compared for a susceptible strain, a near-isogenic laboratory-selected strain, and F1 progeny of the two strains. Glasshouse experiments were conducted to test the three insect types on conventional plants and transgenic plants that produced the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin Cry1Ac. At the time of testing (15 wk), the Cry1Ac concentration in cotton leaves was 75% lower than at 4 wk. On these plants, < 10% of susceptible larvae reached the fifth instar, and none survived to pupation. In contrast, survival to adulthood on Cry1Ac cotton was 62% for resistant larvae and 39% for F1 larvae. These results show that inheritance of resistance to 15-wk-old Cry1Ac cotton is partially dominant, in contrast to results previously obtained on 4-wk-old Cry1Ac cotton. Growth and survival of resistant insects were similar on Cry1Ac cotton and on non-Bt cotton, but F1 insects developed more slowly on Cry1Ac cotton than on non-Bt cotton. Survival was lower and development was slower for resistant larvae than for susceptible and F1 larvae on non-Bt cotton. These results show recessive fitness costs are associated with resistance to Cry1Ac.     

Genetics of Indoxacarb resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner)

The present investigation was done with the aim of studying the genetics of Indoxacarb resistance. Selection of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) with Indoxacarb was done for eight generations to develop resistance. Reciprocal crosses between resistant and susceptible populations were made to understand the population genetics of Indoxacarb resistance in H. armigera . Generation-wise selection with Indoxacarb was evaluated for resistance development in H. armigera . The LC₅₀ of Indoxacarb was 2.81 p.p.m. for the first selected generation, and it increased to 272.55 p.p.m. after eight selected generations, which is a 1238.86-fold resistance compared to the susceptible strain. The estimated realized heritability (h²) after eight generations of selection with Indoxacarb was 0.45. The number of generations required for a tenfold increase in LC₅₀ (1/R) was estimated to be 2.59. The response to Indoxacarb selection in H. armigera was 0.39, the estimated selection differential (S) was 0.87, and the phenotypic standard deviation (σp) was 0.03. Reciprocal crosses between Indoxacarb resistant and susceptible strains revealed that the inheritance of Indoxacarb resistance was autosomal: neither maternal effect nor linkage was evident. The values of D_LC (0.10 and 0.09) indicated completely recessive inheritance of Indoxacarb resistance.     

甜菜夜蛾对氰戊菊酯和顺式氯氰菊酯的抗性机理

通过对活体增效作用进行测定和生化分析,探讨了甜菜夜蛾对氰戊菊酯和顺式氯氰菊酯的抗性机理.结果表明:增效醚(PBO)、增效磷(SV1)、磷酸三苯酯(TPP)和顺丁烯二酸二乙酯(DEM)对甜菜夜蛾抗氰戊菊酯品系(Fen-R)和敏感品系(S)的增效倍数之比分别为10.2、7.8、12.5和1.1,对抗顺式氯氰菊酯品系(Cyp-R)和敏感品系(S)的增效倍数之比分别为21.6、15.5、8.6和1.2.PBO、SV1和TPP对氰戊菊酯和顺式氯氰菊酯均有显著增效作用,表明多功能氧化酶和羧酸酯酶均参与了甜菜夜蛾对氰戊菊酯和顺式氯氰菊酯的抗性.Fen-R品系和Cyp-R品系4龄幼虫羧酸酯酶的活性分别是S品系的1.9和2.2倍,而谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶活性与S品系差异不显著,表明羧酸酯酶活性的提高是甜菜夜蛾对氰戊菊酯和顺式氯氰菊酯产生抗性的重要原因,谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶与两种药剂的抗性无关.Fen-R品系和Cyp-R品系的Na-K-ATPase活性与S品系均无显著差异,但在相同浓度下氰戊菊酯和顺式氯氰菊酯对S品系Na-K-ATPase的抑制作用显著高于抗性品系,表明抗性品系Na-K-ATPase对杀虫剂的敏感性已明显降低.     

不同龄期棉铃虫用氰戊菊酯汰选对其抗性发展的影响

利用中抗(15.06倍)品系,室内用氰戊菊酯对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera初孵至4龄幼虫分别进行连续汰选,选育9代后,以3龄幼虫汰选的抗性发展最快（31.5倍）, 其次是4龄、2龄幼虫汰选的品系（分别增加25.2倍和14.5倍）,用初孵幼虫汰选的抗性发展最慢（10.2倍）。抗性现实遗传力的测定表明,3龄幼虫汰选的抗性现实遗传力（0.4419）显著大于初孵幼虫的（0.2346）。代谢酶抑制剂的增效实验发现,磷酸三苯酯(TPP)对各品系棉铃虫均无明显增效作用。而增效醚(PBO)对高龄幼虫汰选的品系的增效作用比低龄幼虫汰选的品系增效作用强。测定初孵和3龄幼虫汰选品系试虫的击倒抗性发现,初孵幼虫汰选品系的抗性增加倍数（10.2）与击倒抗性增加的倍数（10.5）相似,而3龄幼虫汰选的抗性增加倍数（31.5）显著高于击倒抗性增加的倍数（19.9）。认为初孵幼虫期多功能氧化酶（MFO）表达不完全,用药主要是筛选击倒抗性,而高龄幼虫期用药则会同时筛选击倒抗性和MFO参与的代谢抗性。因而初孵幼虫期用药抗性发展缓慢。生产上不仅可以提高药剂的防效,同时可以延缓抗性的发展。     

Baseline toxicity of emamectin and spinosad to Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) for resistance monitoring

Acute toxicity studies of emamectin and spinosad against Helicoverpa armigera revealed that the pest is highly susceptible to both the insecticides. The median lethal dose (LD₅₀) of emamectin is 3.86 × 10⁻³ µg per larva. The median lethal concentrations (LC₅₀) of emamectin and spinosad were found to be 0.09 and 2.94 ppm, respectively. The discriminating doses were fixed based on the LC₉₅ of the susceptible population of H. armigera as 0.80 ppm for emamectin and 10 ppm for spinosad. Resistance was not observed when the discriminating doses of emamectin and spinosad were applied on field-collected populations of H. armigera from two intensive cotton growing areas, Coimbatore and Madurai, India.     

单宁酸对淡色库蚊抗氰戊菊酯品系和敏感品系幼虫生长发育的影响

单宁酸是一种植物次生代谢物, 为探索其用于蚊幼虫防治的可能性,在室内测定了其对淡色库蚊Culex pipiens pallens抗氰戊菊酯品系和敏感品系1～4龄幼虫的毒性,并观察了其对存活幼虫生长发育的影响。结果表明,淡色库蚊敏感品系幼虫对单宁酸的敏感性比抗氰戊菊酯品系的要高,1～4龄幼虫分别高6.4、4.9、4.7和2.0倍。4个龄期幼虫中,无论是敏感品系还是抗氰戊菊酯品系,均是1龄幼虫对单宁酸的敏感性最高,3龄幼虫最低。在1 000 mg/L单宁酸持续作用下,敏感品系和抗氰戊菊酯品系各龄幼虫的存活率,均随处理时间延长而降低。与对照相比,饲养在100 mg/L～500 mg/L单宁酸溶液中的存活幼虫发育历期延长,敏感品系和抗氰戊菊酯品系发育历期分别延长了34.5～38.3 h和59.2～93.4 h。其中,125 mg/L浓度处理的敏感品系1～4龄幼虫,其发育历期与对照的差异达到了显著水平(P<0.05);抗性品系则在250 mg/L作用下也达到了差异显著水平(P<0.05)。但100～250 mg/L单宁酸处理淡色库蚊抗氰戊菊酯品系和敏感品系1龄幼虫,对其存活幼虫的化蛹率、羽化率和成虫性比均无显著影响。表明单宁酸对淡色库蚊幼虫的影响主要是延迟其生长发育,且影响程度与蚊虫对氰戊菊酯的敏感性有关。     

新疆棉铃虫对溴氰菊酯和硫丹 抗性的生化机理研究

通过生物测定和生化分析研究了新疆棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)敏感种群和室内筛选获得的抗性种群对硫丹和溴氰菊酯的反应及其α-乙酸萘酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶的动态活性反应。结果表明,筛选后新疆棉铃虫对硫丹和溴氰菊酯产生的抗性倍数分别为13倍和66倍。两个抗性种群的α-乙酸萘酯酶和乙酰胆碱酯酶比活力均高于敏感种群。相应杀虫剂预处理后,α-乙酸萘酯酶酶活力受到抑制。抗性种群的α-乙酸萘酯酶对底物的亲和力高于敏感种群,但Vmax低于敏感种群。抗性种群的乙酰胆碱酯酶对底物的亲和力显著低于敏感种群,Vmax比敏感种群高。聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳显示,两个抗性种群都有一条特异性酶带,其迁移率相近,且均可被甲基对氧磷抑制。因此推测,α-乙酸萘酯酶参与了新疆棉铃虫对硫丹和溴氰菊酯的抗性,具有代谢和阻断作用;乙酰胆碱酯酶对抗性的产生也起到了重要作用。     

Pyridostigmine bromide protection against acetylcholinesterase inhibition by pesticides

Pyridostigmine bromide (PB) has been used to protect soldiers from the toxic effects of soman, a chemical warfare agent. Recent research shows that pyridostigmine bromide protects a significant percentage of acetylcholinesterase in isolated human intercostal muscle. Findings presented here indicate that red blood cell acetylcholinesterase is similarly protected by pyridostigmine bromide from the action of diisopropyl fluorophosphate and several organophosphate pesticides including chlorpyrifos-oxon, diazinon-oxon, and paraoxon, but not malaoxon, using the bovine red blood cell as a subject. These findings suggest that pretreatment with PB may protect growers, farmworkers, first responders, and the public, in general, from the effects of selected pesticides.     

转Bt基因棉花国抗62对棉铃虫生长发育的影响及田间抗虫效果

为了明确新疆第一个自主转Bt基因棉花品种国抗62对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera生长发育影响及田间抗虫效果,2005年进行了室内生物测定和田间小区试验。在室内以国抗62（转Cry1Ac基因棉花）和中棉35（对照常规棉花）的叶片饲喂棉铃虫幼虫,从幼虫发育历期、体重、存活率、化蛹等方面,分析了棉铃虫生长发育动态。结果表明,国抗62对棉铃虫生长发育的抑制作用非常显著。与对照相比,取食国抗62的棉铃虫幼虫1～6龄龄期分别延长了1.0,7.8,8.2,17.8,20.3和＞21.3天;幼虫发育到6龄时存活率仅为2.6%,最终无一化蛹,而对照幼虫发育到6龄时存活率为91.8%,最终化蛹率为89.8%。田间小区调查结果显示国抗62对第2代棉铃虫有非常好的抗虫效果：两个品种棉田棉铃虫落卵量无显著差异,但国抗62棉田比对照棉田虫口数量降低85.7%,顶尖被害率降低94.4%,蕾铃被害率降低95.1%,差异达到显著和极显著水平。但国抗62对第3代棉铃虫的田间抗虫效果欠佳。棉铃虫在新疆棉田以第2代为害为主,因此,国抗62能够起到有效的控制作用。     

Toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins to Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in South Africa

The susceptibility of one of the most important pests in southern Africa, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins was evaluated by bioassay. Cry proteins were produced in Escherichia coli BL21 cells that were transformed with plasmids containing one of six cry genes. The toxicity of each Cry protein to H. armigera larvae was determined by the diet contamination method for second instar larvae and the droplet feeding method for neonate larvae. For each of the proteins, dose-mortality and dose-growth inhibition responses were analyzed and the median lethal dose (LD(50)) and median inhibitory dose (ID(50)) determined. Second instar larvae were consistently less susceptible to the evaluated Cry proteins than neonate larvae. The relative toxicity of Cry proteins ranked differently between neonate larvae and second instar larvae. On the basis of the LD(50) and ID(50) values, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, and Cry2Aa were the most toxic of the evaluated proteins to H. armigera larvae. The study provides an initial benchmark of the toxicity of individual Cry proteins to H. armigera in South Africa.
