Host-plant choice and larval growth in the cinnabar moth: do pyrrolizidine alkaloids play a role?

Witte et al. (1992) described two distinct chemotypes of Senecio jacobaea L. Asteraceae, a chemotype with jacobine as one of the major pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and a chemotype with erucifoline as one of the major PAs. We hypothesized that the presence of erucifoline might be the factor responsible for the lack of success of the cinnabar moth on Senecio erucifolius L. Asteraceae and the S. jacobaea erucifoline chemotype. We performed a survey of the distribution of the two chemotypes in the Netherlands and compared this with the distribution map of Tyria jacobaeae L. Lepidoptera, Arctiidae. The distribution of the two chemotypes in the Netherlands is poorly correlated with the distribution of the cinnabar moth. The jacobine chemotype occurs along the coast and the erucifoline chemotype predominantly inward.An oviposition experiment showed that the cinnabar moth did not discriminate between the two chemotypes of S. jacobaea and S. erucifolius. Larval performance did not differ between the two chemotypes and species. Although the distribution of S. jacobaea jacobine chemotype is loosely associated with the abundance of the cinnabar moth the oviposition and growth experiments indicate that other factors than the presence of erucifoline play a role in this association.The absence of recordings of S. erucifolius as a foodplant for the cinnabar moth might be explained by the phenology of the foodplant. Ovipositing females of the univoltine cinnabar moth prefer flowering plants for oviposition. S. erucifolius starts flowering about 1–2 month later than S. jacobaea just after the peak density of moths.     

Natural hybridization between Senecio jacobaea and Senecio aquaticus: molecular and chemical evidence

Hybridization is known to be involved in a number of evolutionary processes, including species formation, and the generation of novel defence characteristics in plants. The genus Senecio of the Asteraceae family is highly speciose and has historically demonstrated significant levels of interspecific hybridization. The evolution of novel chemical defence characteristics may have contributed to the success of Senecio hybrids. Chemical defence against pathogens and herbivores has been studied extensively in the model species Senecio jacobaea, which is thought to hybridize in nature with Senecio aquaticus. Here, we use amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) and pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) composition to confirm that natural hybridization occurs between S. jacobaea and the closely related species S. aquaticus. AFLPs are also used to estimate the ancestry of hybrids. We also demonstrate that even highly back-crossed hybrids can possess a unique mixture of defence chemicals specific to each of the parental species. This hybrid system may therefore prove to be useful in further studies of the role of hybridization in the evolution of plant defence and resistance.     

Host range of Secusio extensa (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), and potential for biological control of Senecio madagascariensis (Asteraceae)

Secusio extensa (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) was evaluated as a potential biological control agent for Madagascar fireweed, Senecio madagascariensis (Asteraceae), which has invaded over 400 000 acres of rangeland in the Hawaiian Islands and is toxic to cattle and horses. The moth was introduced from southeastern Madagascar into containment facilities in Hawaii, and host specificity tests were conducted on 71 endemic and naturalized species (52 genera) in 12 tribes of Asteraceae and 17 species of non‐Asteraceae including six native shrubs and trees considered key components of Hawaiian ecosystems. No‐choice feeding tests indicated that plant species of the tribe Senecioneae were suitable hosts with first instars completing development to adult stage on S. madagascariensis (78.3%), Delairea odorata (66.1%), Senecio vulgaris (57.1%), Crassocephalum crepidioides (41.2%), and at significantly lower rates on Emilia fosbergii (1.8%) and Erechtites hieracifolia (1.3%). A low rate of complete larval development also was observed on sunflower, Helianthus annuus (11.6%), in the tribe Heliantheae. However, sunflower was rejected as a potential host in larval‐feeding and adult oviposition choice tests involving the primary host S. madagascariensis as control. Although larvae died as first instars on most test species, incomplete development and low levels of feeding were observed on nine species in the tribes Heliantheae, Cardueae and Lactuceae. Larvae did not feed on any non‐Asteraceae tested, including species with similar pyrrolizidene alkaloid chemistry, crops, and six ecologically prominent native species. Because all species of Senecioneae are non‐native and weedy in Hawaii, these results indicate that S. extensa is sufficiently host‐specific for introduction for biological control. High levels of feeding damage observed on potted plants indicate that S. extensa can severely impact the target fireweed as well as D. odorata, a noxious weed in native Hawaiian forests.     

Maternal effects and heterosis influence the fitness of plant hybrids

Here we tested two possible nonexclusive explanations for the maintenance of a hybrid swarm between Senecio jacobaea and Senecio aquaticus; first, that genotype-by-environment interactions involving water and nutrient clines are involved in hybrid fitness, and second, heterosis in early hybrid generations may provide an initial hybrid advantage that contributes to hybrid persistence. In three climate chamber studies, fitness and root growth were measured for parental species and natural and artificial F1 hybrids, in order to determine whether hybrids occur in habitats where they are more fit than parental species. Natural hybrids, which are generally back-crossed to S. jacobaea, always equaled S. jacobaea in growth characteristics. Maternal effects played a role in the fitness of F1 hybrids, with offspring from S. jacobaea mothers exhibiting higher fitness than those from S. aquaticus mothers, and compared with parental species and natural hybrids. Natural hybrids are not distributed in zones where they are most fit with respect to nutrient and water regimes. Superior fitness of early generation hybrids may contribute to hybrid swarm stability.     

Changes in Senecio grisebachii pyrrolizidine alkaloids abundances and profiles as response to soil quality

Abstract

Senecio grisebachii Baker is an invasive weed considered to be toxic due to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) in its tissues. The PA production by S. grisebachii aerial parts was evaluated in samples grown in two Argentinean Rolling Pampa fields with the same kind of soil but differing in the length of their exploitation period by conventional tillage practices and, consequently, in their deterioration level.

We found significant differences in the relative concentrations of seven alkaloids between samples taken from the two fields. Seneciphylline was the most abundant alkaloid in inflorescences from less deteriorated soil (LD) while senecionine was the major one in those from highly deteriorated soil (D) being followed by seneciphylline, integerrimine, and minor amounts of spartiodine, jacobine, jacozine and retrorsine. A significant increase in total alkaloid content (TAC) was observed in inflorescences from samples growing in D soil (3.52±0.20 mg/g DW) when comparing with those from samples grown in LD one (3.23±0.26).
