叶损伤诱导兴安落叶松针叶中10种酚酸的变化

酚酸是一类重要次生抗虫物质.为研究损伤及昆虫取食诱导对兴安落叶松针叶内酚酸含量的影响,采用3种不同程度剪叶或落叶松毛虫幼虫取食处理兴安落叶松幼树,以高效液相色谱技术测定兴安落叶松健康针叶中酚酸含量.结果表明：与对照相比,处理后1 d,剪叶或昆虫取食4枝50%针叶处理的兴安落叶松幼苗健康针叶中,除阿魏酸无显著差异外,苯甲酸、咖啡酸、绿原酸、水杨酸、苯乙酸、肉桂酸、香草酸、丁香酸和没食子酸9种酚酸均差异显著;4枝75%针叶处理的10种酚酸含量均发生显著变化.说明剪叶及虫害50%、75%针叶处理均达到诱导阈值,能显著诱导兴安落叶松化学防御.在损伤程度相同情况下,处理1 d时,剪叶4枝50%、75%诱导的咖啡酸、苯乙酸、肉桂酸、香草酸和没食子酸的含量显著高于虫害诱导处理;5 d时,剪叶4枝50%、75%诱导处理的这5种酚酸含量显著低于虫害诱导处理;10 d时,两种方法诱导的酚酸含量差异不显著.说明剪叶诱导处理的酚酸含量变化比昆虫取食处理迅速,且诱导强度与剪叶程度相关.采用适当处理诱导针叶中酚酸含量的变化来增强兴安落叶松对害虫的防御能力是可行的.     

剪叶损伤与昆虫取食对兴安落叶松(Larix gmelinii)针叶中缩合单宁诱导作用的差异

单宁是植物内与抗虫性相关的重要次生代谢物质.为了研究昆虫取食及剪叶诱导对兴安落叶松(Larix gmelinii)针叶内缩合单宁含量的影响,用剪叶法和落叶松毛虫(Dendrolimus superans)幼虫取食处理5年生兴安落叶松苗,以香草醛-盐酸法测定其剩余健康针叶内缩合单宁含量的变化.结果表明:(1)处理后1～10d,剪叶4枝75%,8枝50%、75%,12枝25%、50%、75%及虫伤4枝75%的兴安落叶松健康针叶内的缩合单宁含量均明显高于对照(P<0.01),15d时,剪叶8枝75%,12枝50%的兴安落叶松针叶内的缩合单宁含量仍高于对照(P<0.05),说明剪叶与虫伤处理均能诱导缩合单宁含量增加.(2)剪叶4枝75%,8枝50%,12枝25%、75%的处理之间,诱导的缩合单宁含量差异不显著(P>0.05).剪叶8枝75%,12枝50%诱导缩合单宁含量增加幅度比其它剪叶处理大,且诱导持续时间长.说明剪叶程度虽能影响缩合单宁含量,但二者并不呈线性关系.(3)剪叶4枝75%在5d时诱导缩合单宁含量最高,虫伤4枝75%在10d时诱导缩合单宁含量最高,说明剪叶诱导的缩合单宁含量高峰早于虫伤处理.但处理后1～10d,剪叶及虫伤4枝75%的落叶松针叶内缩合单宁含量均明显高于对照(P<0.01或P<0.05),之后与对照差异不显著(P>0.05),说明在受到诱导处理后,兴安落叶松产生应激反应,使其针叶内缩合单宁含量在一定时间内先增加,后逐渐恢复到正常水平.由上可见,可以采取适当的损伤处理取得与昆虫取食相似的兴安落叶松抗性反应.     

剪叶损伤与昆虫取食对兴安落叶松（Larix gmefinii）针叶中缩合单宁诱导作用的差异

单宁是植物内与抗虫性相关的重要次生代谢物质。为了研究昆虫取食及剪叶诱导对兴安落叶松（Larix gmelinii）针叶内缩合单宁含量的影响,用剪叶法和落叶松毛虫（Dendrolimus superans）幼虫取食处理5年生兴安落叶松苗,以香草醛．盐酸法测定其剩余健康针叶内缩合单宁含量的变化。结果表明：（1）处理后1～10d,剪叶4枝75％,8枝50％、75％,12枝25％、50％、75％及虫伤4枝75％的兴安落叶松健康针叶内的缩合单宁含量均明显高于对照（P〈0．01）,15d时,剪叶8枝75％,12枝50％的兴安落叶松针叶内的缩合单宁含量仍高于对照（P〈0．05）,说明剪叶与虫伤处理均能诱导缩合单宁含量增加。（2）剪叶4枝75％,8枝50％,12枝25％、75％的处理之间,诱导的缩合单宁含量差异不显著（P〉0．05）。剪叶8枝75％,12枝50％诱导缩合单宁含量增加幅度比其它剪叶处理大,且诱导持续时间长。说明剪叶程度虽能影响缩合单宁含量,但二者并不呈线性关系。（3）剪叶4枝75％在5d时诱导缩合单宁含量最高,虫伤4枝75％在10d时诱导缩合单宁含量最高,说明剪叶诱导的缩合单宁含量高峰早于虫伤处理。但处理后1-10d,剪叶及虫伤4枝75％的落叶松针叶内缩合单宁含量均明显高于对照（P〈0．01或P〈0．05）,之后与对照差异不显著（P〉0．05）,说明在受到诱导处理后,兴安落叶松产生应激反应,使其针叶内缩合单宁含量在一定时间内先增加,后逐渐恢复到正常水平。由上可见,可以采取适当的损伤处理取得与昆虫取食相似的兴安落叶松抗性反应。     

剪叶及昆虫取食对兴安落叶松蛋白酶抑制剂的影响

植物蛋白酶抑制剂是植物重要的防御物质之一。为了研究不同程度剪叶及昆虫取食诱导与兴安落叶松Larix gmelinii针叶内蛋白酶抑制剂活性变化的关系,分别以剪叶及落叶松毛虫Dendrolimus superans取食处理兴安落叶松幼苗,用紫外分光光度法测定不同处理后针叶内胰蛋白酶抑制剂(TI)和胰凝乳蛋白酶抑制剂(CI)活性变化。结果表明：落叶松毛虫取食及剪叶可诱导兴安落叶松产生系统性防御反应,处理后的1～20天,苗木针叶内TI和CI两种抑制剂活性产生显著变化,诱导产生的TI和CI的活性与损伤程度无显著相关性。相同损伤程度下,虫害诱导的TI活性高于剪叶损伤诱导的活性,但二者差异不显著;3种取食程度诱导的CI活性,只在第5天同时显著高于剪叶损伤诱导的抑制剂的活性。由此可见,可以通过适当的损伤处理取得与昆虫取食相似的植物抗性反应,这为林木病虫防治提供了新的思路。     

马尾松受害诱导的化学物质滞后变化

通过接种马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus和人工剪叶,分析比较了不同受害方式对马尾松针叶内化学物质的影响。结果表明,害虫取食松针诱导的次生代谢物质(单宁、酚类物质)比人工剪叶处理略有增加,而营养物质-可溶性糖变化不大。对马尾松进行害虫取食为害、人工剪叶受害、未受害三种处理后,连续3年跟踪测定了松针叶内化学物质含量的变化。结果发现,无论是害虫取食为害,还是人工剪叶受害,针叶内次生代谢物质含量都减少,可溶性糖含量降低,直至一年后才恢复到原有的水平;蛋白质变化的趋势则始终是受害处理的含量比未受害处理的含量高,表明马尾松受害后诱导的化学物质变化具有滞后特性。     

松墨天牛取食和人为损伤对马尾松针叶部分化学物质含量的影响

为探索松墨天牛Monochamus alternatus Hope与其寄主马尾松相互作用的关系,测定了松墨天牛取食和人为损伤1天、3天、6天、10天和15天后马尾松针叶营养物质和次生代谢物质含量的变化。结果表明： 松墨天牛取食和人为损伤均能引起马尾松针叶可溶性糖和粗多糖含量的下降,但虫害处理使新叶和老叶中可溶性糖降低更多。两种方式处理后10天马尾松新叶和老叶中蛋白质含量降到最低,然后逐渐回升; 相比较而言,虫害处理蛋白质含量降幅更大。松墨天牛取食和人为损伤均引起马尾松针叶单宁和黄酮类物质含量的增加,虫害处理的针叶中单宁和黄酮类物质的含量更高。结果提示马尾松对松墨天牛的取食为害具有特殊的应激反应机制。     

松树受害后一些化学物质含量的变化及其对马尾松毛虫种群参数的影响

通过探讨松树受害后松针的一些化学物质变化与马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus 种群参数的相互作用关系。结果表明：松针被马尾松毛虫为害后,针叶的氨基酸含量减少、单宁和总酚含量增加;马尾松毛虫取食被害松针后,体内的2种解毒酶(过氧化氢酶、羧酸酯酶)活性增加,其种群参数表现出发育历期延长、体重减轻、死亡率增加、生殖力下降的变 化。     

昆虫取食和药剂熏蒸对马尾松针叶脱落酸和茉莉酸含量的影响

脱落酸(ABA)和茉莉酸(JA)在诱导植物产生抗逆性过程中具有重要作用.以马尾松为试验材料,用GC/MS检测了马尾松毛虫咬食、外源茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)熏蒸和萜烯混合物熏蒸处理4 h后,马尾松损伤针叶、相邻姊妹针叶(处理同一轮未受损伤枝条)、系统上枝针叶(处理枝上一轮枝条)和系统下枝针叶(处理枝下一轮枝条)中ABA和JA含量的变化.结果表明,虫害4 h后,马尾松损伤针叶、相邻姊妹针叶、系统上枝针叶和系统下枝针叶的ABA和JA含量均明显升高.用10 μmol·L^-1 MeJA熏蒸和10 μmol·L^-1萜烯混合物熏蒸健康植株后,各部位枝条针叶中ABA和JA含量明显升高.说明ABA和JA是马尾松苗木伤反应信号传导途径中的重要信号分子,参与了马尾松苗木系统抗性的形成过程.     

蚯蚓活动对土壤氨基酸组分及含量的影响

通过室内培养试验,研究了赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia foetida)和威廉环毛蚓(Metaphire guillelmi)对土壤氨基酸组分及含量的影响,并探讨了两种不同生活型蚯蚓作用效果的异同。结果表明:蚯蚓活动可显著改变土壤氨基酸含量,爱胜蚓作用下土壤酸解氨基酸和游离氨基酸分别增加5.08 g/kg和7.72 mg/kg,环毛蚓作用下土壤酸解氨基酸和游离氨基酸分别增加3.86 g/kg和4.44mg/kg。各处理酸解氨基酸均以中性氨基酸所占比例为最大(平均51.9%),酸性氨基酸次之(平均23.3%),而含硫氨基酸(平均14.4%)及碱性氨基酸最少(平均10.4%)。各处理游离氨基酸同样以中性氨基酸为主,平均54.4%,而以碱性氨基酸含量最少,平均仅为7.2%。蚯蚓活动并未改变土壤氨基酸可检出种类,各处理分别检测出16种酸解氨基酸和14种游离氨基酸。土壤酸解氨基酸和游离氨基酸组分含量在蚯蚓作用下均有明显改变:加入爱胜蚓后土壤酸解氨基酸组分中天冬氨酸、精氨酸、甲硫氨酸、丙氨酸、赖氨酸和甘氨酸增幅较高,均在85.7%以上,缬氨酸、苏氨酸、丝氨酸、谷氨酸、亮氨酸、酪氨酸和组氨酸增幅较小在40.7%—62.7%间波动;加入环毛蚓后土壤酸解氨基酸组分中甲硫氨酸、赖氨酸、天冬氨酸、酪氨酸和丙氨酸增幅较大,均在71.9%以上,甘氨酸、精氨酸、异亮氨酸增幅适中,分别为56.8%、55.6%和54.9%;丝氨酸、亮氨酸、苏氨酸、谷氨酸、组氨酸和苯丙氨酸增幅最小,均在40%以下;游离氨基酸组分中组氨酸、精氨酸、甘氨酸、亮氨酸、异亮氨酸和丙氨酸在加入爱胜蚓后增加的幅度较大,增幅在150.0%以上,增幅较为缓和的氨基酸组分有天冬氨酸、苏氨酸、丝氨酸、缬氨酸、谷氨酸和苯丙氨酸,介于58.8%—92.1%之间;环毛蚓作用下,天冬氨酸、精氨酸、丝氨酸和异亮氨酸增幅最大,分别为184.2%、173.3%、163.0%和116.6%;苏氨酸、亮氨酸、缬氨酸和甘氨酸增幅较缓,介于52.3%—92.7%之间;谷氨酸、组氨酸、苯丙氨酸、丙氨酸和甲硫氨酸增幅较低,均在33.1%之下;而半胱氨酸在蚯蚓作用下显著降低,降幅为11.8%。对比两种生活型蚯蚓作用效果可知,土壤氨基酸总含量及各组分含量在爱胜蚓和环毛蚓作用下的增加或减少趋势相同(土壤酸解氨基酸组分缬氨酸除外),但改变幅度却存在明显差异,总体而言,爱胜蚓作用效果优于环毛蚓。     

转基因棉花中糖类和游离氨基酸含量的变化对棉蚜泌蜜量及蜜露主要成分的影响

以3个转基因棉和2个亲本对照棉花品种为研究材料,分别测定了这5种棉花植株体内主要糖分与游离氨基酸含量;同时,分别用这5个棉花品种的叶片饲养棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover并测定其蜜露分泌量及其主要营养成分。结果表明,转基因棉花“国抗22”叶片中葡萄糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖的平均含量及可溶性糖总量分别比亲本对照棉“泗棉3号”减少61.76%、 89.05%、77.86%和23.61%,转基因棉花“苏抗103”和“中抗310”叶片中葡萄糖、蔗糖、麦芽糖的平均含量及可溶性糖总量分别比亲本对照棉“苏棉12”下降14.15%、32.80%、92.22%、11.46% 和4 6.81%、93.19%、61.11%、43.91%,游离氨基酸总量及各种氨基酸、果糖、鼠李糖、海藻糖的含量在不同转基因棉与亲本对照棉花品种间也存在很大差异,其中一些处理间的差异达显著或极显著水平。这表明外源基因的导入已经影响到了转基因棉花品种中主要糖分与游离氨基酸的合成。棉蚜取食转基因棉花品种“国抗22”后,蜜露的日平均分泌量比取食对照品种“泗棉3号”减少40.54%,取食其他两个转基因棉花品种“苏抗103”和“中抗310”后蜜露的分泌量也比取食对照棉花品种“苏棉12”降低22.67%和30.0%,但棉蚜取食转基因棉花后蜜露中游离氨基酸的总量均高于对照棉花品种,蜜露中可溶性总糖、蔗糖和各种氨基酸含量在取食转基因棉和常规棉花品种间存在一定差异。     

The effect of needle age on the acceptability of Sitka spruce needles to the aphid,Elatobium abietinum (Walker)

Summary A comparison of the feeding behaviour of E. abietinum on current year needles and previous year needles of P. sitchensis revealed that during the summer months the aphids preferentially settled on previous year needles, this response not being evident in winter. Aphids on current year needles in summer took a much longer period of time to commence sap uptake than in winter, intake ceasing following a very short feeding period. On previous year needles sap uptake in December commenced after a shorter feeding period than in June. Analysis of total and soluble nitrogen levels in Sitka spruce needles showed that current year needles had initially higher levels during shoot elongation in May and early June, but that previous year needles had higher levels for most of the remainder of the year. Quantitative analyses of amino acids revealed that in current year needles the levels were generally lower than in previous year needles. Less marked proportional differences were observed between previous year needles in May and in July/August when the needles were unsuitable. Addition of amino acids in solution into cut current year shoots resulted in increased longevity on shoots containing introduced iso-leucine, histidine and methionine and revealed a general imbalance of the amino acids.     

马尾松诱导化学物质变化的时空动态

研究了受害程度不同的马尾松针叶内诱导化学物质在时间序列上的变化和局部受害后空间序列上的变化。结果发现：受害马尾松针叶内次生代谢物质（单宁、酚类物质）含量随时间的变化而不断上下波动,先增加,后逐渐降低,恢复到原来的水平;营养物质（可溶性糖）含量先降低,后逐渐恢复到原来水平。反映了马尾松受害后的应激反应是一种快速、间断、被调节的过程。危害程度的强调对马尾松诱导化学物质的变化有一定的影响。中度的危害（针叶损失50％）所诱导产生的次生物质最多,轻度（针叶损失25％）或重度（针叶损失75％）的危害所诱导产生的次生代谢物质较低。以7年生（共5个轮枝）的马尾松作为实验材料,对第3轮枝进行剪叶75％,在空间序列上,观察其余各轮枝松针内化学物质的变化。发现第3轮枝受害后马尾松其余各轮针叶内也产生诱导化学物质含量变化,并且因轮枝部位的不同,其诱导产生的变化也不相同。说明松针所产生的诱导化学物质含量的变化是全株性的、异质性的。     

Chemotropism and branching as alternative responses of Achlya bisexualis to amino acids

Hyphae of Achlya bisexualis growing on lean media orient their extension towards a source of amino acids, and also put forth branches. Micropipettes were used to generate gradients of amino acids in the vicinity of individual hyphae. Phenylalanine and methionine were the most powerful attractants: 0.04 mM amino acid in the pipette produced reorientation, and higher concentrations made the hyphae curl around the pipette and grow into its tip. Hyphae detected gradients as low as 5% across their width. Methionine and phenylalanine appeared to bind to different receptors. Local application of these amino acids also elicited the emergence of single branches, next to the pipette and on the high side of the gradient; comparison of diverse amino acids and their analogues suggested that branching and chemotropism share common receptors. By contrast, cytochalasin A and various ionophores induced branches at random sites, without receptor involvement. We propose that binding of amino acids to their receptors determines the site of precursor vesicle exocytosis, and consider possible mechanisms.     

Effect of pine foliage damage on the incidence of larval diapause in the pine caterpillar Dendrolimus punctatus (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)

The pine caterpillar Dendrolimus punctatus (Walker) with a larval facultative diapause is one of the most destructive insect pests of the pine tree Pinus massoniana in China. The larvae feeding on pine trees with different damage levels were studied to determine the induction of diapause under both laboratory and field conditions. Developmental duration of larvae before the third instar was the longest when fed with 75%–90% damaged needles, followed by 25%–40% damaged needles and intact pine needles, whereas mortalities did not differ among different treatments under the conditions of 25° and critical photoperiod 13.5:10.5 L:D. At 25°, no diapause was induced under 15:9 L:D, whereas 100% diapause occurred under 12:12 L:D regardless of the levels of needle damage. Incidences of larvae entering diapause when they were fed with intact, 25%–40% and 75%–90% damaged pine needles were 51.7%, 70.8% and 81% under 13.5:10.5 L:D, respectively. Similar results were obtained in the field experiment. Incidence of diapause was significantly different among the pine needle damage levels of pine trees when the photoperiod was close to the critical day length, indicating that the effect of host plants on diapause induction was dependent on the range of photoperiod. The content of amino acid and sugar decreased and tannin increased in pine needles after feeding by the pine caterpillars, suggesting that changed levels of nutrients in damaged needles or a particular substance emitted by damaged pine trees was perhaps involved in the diapause induction of the pine caterpillar.     

Nitrogen fertilizer factory effects on the amino acid and nitrogen content in the needles of Scots pine

The aim of the research was to evaluate the content of amino acids in the needles of Pinus sylvestris growing in the area affected by a nitrogen fertilizer factory and to compare them with other parameters of needles, trees, and sites. Three young-age stands of Scots pine were selected at a distance of 0.5 km, 5 km, and 17 km from the factory. Examination of the current-year needles in winter of the year 2000 revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences between the site at a 0.5-km distance from the factory and the site at a 17-km distance from the factory--with the site closest to the factory showing the highest concentrations of protein (119%), total arginine (166%), total other amino acids (depending on amino acid, the effect ranged between 119 and 149%), free arginine (771%), other free amino acids (glutamic acid, threonine, serine, lysine--depending on amino acid, the effect ranged between 162 and 234%), also the longest needles, widest diameter, largest surface area, and heaviest dry weight (respectively, 133, 110, 136, and 169%). The gradient of nitrogen concentration in the needles was assessed on the selected plots over the period of 1995-2000, with the highest concentration (depending on year, 119 to 153%) documented in the site located 0.5 km from the factory. Significant correlations were determined between the total amino acid contents (r = 0.448 -0.939, p < 0.05), some free amino acid (arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, threonine, and serine) contents (r = 0.418 - 0.975, p < 0.05), and air pollutant concentration at the sites, the distance between the sites and the factory, and characteristics of the needles. No correlation was found between free or total arginine content and defoliation or retention of the needles. In conclusion, it was revealed that elevated mean monthly concentration of ammonia (26 microg m(-3)) near the nitrogen fertilizer factory caused changes in nitrogen metabolism, especially increasing (nearly eight times) concentration of free arginine in the needles of Scots pine.
