不同成熟度杨梅果实上果蝇的动态变化

【目的】果蝇类害虫是杨梅果实的主要害虫,本文旨在探讨果蝇对不同成熟度果实的选择倾向以及杨梅园果蝇动态变化规律。【方法】通过饲养获得黑腹果蝇Drosophila melanogaster种群,探讨果蝇在不同成熟度杨梅果实上的繁殖量,通过果园调查统计杨梅成熟过程中落果数量、落果和树上挂果中果蝇数量。【结果】杨梅成熟过程中,果色经历绿色、粉红色、红色和紫红色变化过程;果蝇分别在各种成熟度果实上繁殖时,绿色果实上果蝇后代数量最少,但接近成熟的粉红色、红色和紫红色果实上果蝇后代数量无显著差异;同时提供各种成熟度的果实时,随着果实成熟度增加,黑腹果蝇的后代繁殖数量增多。在果实成熟前后对果园果蝇数量的调查表明,在果实成熟前,落果中果蝇数量显著高于树上挂果,落果是果园果蝇的主要繁殖地;但当果园果实大量成熟时,挂果中果蝇数量显著多于落果,挂果成为果蝇主要繁殖场所。【结论】在杨梅园,果蝇存在从地面落果转移至树上挂果的动态变化,果蝇对不同成熟度果实的选择性差异可能是这种动态变化的主要原因。     

生活中潜在诱变剂对果蝇存活率及遗传变异的影响

用紫外线、抗氧化剂、化妆品等多种生活中潜在的诱变剂处理野生型黑腹果蝇,观察果蝇的存活率及性状遗传变异情况,进而分析这些诱变剂对于果蝇的影响。实验结果表明,随紫外线照射时间的增加,果蝇生活力降低,子代果蝇突变率增加;随培养基中抗氧化剂浓度的增加,果蝇突变率与死亡率均呈上升趋势;不同化妆品也对果蝇造成了明显伤害,造成亲代个体死亡,后代出现突变型果蝇。     

果蝇视觉学习记忆能力与脑部cAMP水平的相关性

利用闭环飞行模拟系统研究果蝇视觉飞行定向行为的操作式条件化 ,证明正常果蝇视觉学习记忆能力与日龄有关 ,即 3～ 4d龄果蝇的学习记忆能力明显优于1～ 2d龄果蝇 ,蝇脑内的cAMP含量也呈现随果蝇日龄增加而增加的趋势 .同时对学习记忆缺陷型果蝇进行检测 ,其脑内cAMP含量高于正常对照组果蝇 .通过喂食PDEase抑制剂咖啡因扰乱cAMP代谢 ,使果蝇cAMP水平异常提高 ,导致果蝇学习记忆能力显著下降 ,表明果蝇视觉学习记忆需要脑内cAMP水平处于一适当范围 ,过高或过低的cAMP水平都将影响果蝇的视觉学习记忆能力

黑腹果蝇黑条体突变体的求偶行为

黑腹果蝇Drosophila melanogaster黑条体果蝇(e^bsr)与黑檀体果蝇(e)为同一个基因(ebony)的不同突变体, 两者具有相似的形态表型, 但行为特征表现出明显的差异。本研究以黑条体、 黑檀体和野生型果蝇为研究对象, 首先检测果蝇的视力和活跃度, 再采用不同交配组合进行求偶成功率、交配时间和求偶模式的分析。结果表明: 黑条体果蝇视力与活跃度与野生型果蝇比较无显著差异; 黑条体果蝇的交配成功率和交配潜伏期与野生型果蝇不存在显著的差异; 黑檀体果蝇的交配成功率和交配潜伏期与野生型果蝇存在极显著的差异（P<0.000）。黑条体果蝇表现出异于黑檀体果蝇的活跃度和交配活力, 可能是由于黑条体果蝇ebony基因的新突变导致了果蝇体内多巴胺水平异常, 从而形成了黑条体果蝇独特的求偶模式。

培养果蝇三龄幼虫的小技巧

笔者在进行果蝇唾腺染色体实验培养三龄幼虫时,根据多年的经验发现了2项很实用的小技巧.现介绍如下: 1 选择果蝇的小技巧 果蝇的选择,以野生为宜,一般不要选用长期在实验室培养的果蝇.野生果蝇通常出现在有不新鲜或腐烂的水果周围,所以水果摊或有坏烂水果的垃圾堆是捕获果蝇的首选地点,当然也可以用切成碎片的果肉招引果蝇.     

Biology of Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) (Prostigmata: Acarophenacidae) on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) (Coleoptera: Cucujidae)

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of six different temperatures on the development of Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross & Krantz) using eggs of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) as hosts. The temperature affected the development of A. lacunatus. The largest values for the progeny (19 mites in T. castaneum and 15 mites in C. ferrugineus) were obtained at about 30 degrees C, as also observed for the net reproductive rate (Ro), which revealed that the A. lacunatus population increased 18 times in T. castaneum and 14 times in C. ferrugineus in a generation. The intrinsic rate of increase (r m) gradually increased with temperature, reaching the maximum value at 35 degrees C in T. castaneum (1,608) and C. ferrugineus (1,289). The generation time was negatively correlated with temperature, ranging from 1,60 to 4,85 days in T. castaneum and from 1,96 to 5,34 days in C. ferrugineus. These results suggest that the mite A. lacunatus may be used in programs of biological control of T. castaneum and C. ferrugineus in the tropics.     

Antiviral activity of poly(A)-poly(U) duplexes modified with cis-diammine-dichloroplatinum (II)]

Polyribonucleotide duplex poly(A).poly(U) was modified with cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP). It was shown that the antiinfluenza protective activity of the modified duplex in mice increased with the degree of modification (rb) rising up to 0.2. The effect was different from that for poly(I).poly(C) and poly(G).poly(C). The interferon titers in the murine brain increased in parallel with increasing of the antiviral activity. It was assumed that the structural specificity of the poly(A).poly(U) duplex was responsible for the phenomenon and that cis-DDP interaction with N(7) atoms of the adenine heterocycles blocked the "abnormal" Hoogsteen pairing of adenines with uracils. As a result the antiviral activity increased because of lowering the quantity of the intramolecular defects and increasing the length of the regular double-stranded regions.     

Opposite effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and polypeptide YY (PYY) on plasma immunoreactive atrial natriuretic factor (IR-ANF) in rats

Female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered NPY and PYY in doses of 0.1, 2.5 or 5, and 10 micrograms in order to determine whether the natriuretic action is the result of increased ANF secretion. NPY injection increased significantly IR-ANF while PYY decreased IR-ANF in the dose-response manner in normally-hydrated rats as well as in water-loaded rats. Opposite effects on plasma IR-ANF were exerted by NPY and PYY, indicating that an increase of ANF release may be responsible for NPY-induced natriuresis.     

Aldose reductase (AKR1B3) regulates the accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) and the expression of AGE receptor (RAGE)

Diabetes results in enhanced chemical modification of proteins by advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) precursors. These modifications have been linked to the development of several secondary diabetic complications. Our previous studies showed that aldose reductase (AR; AKR1B3) catalyzes the reduction of ALEs and AGEs precursors; however, the in vivo significance of this metabolic pathway during diabetes and obesity has not been fully assessed. Therefore we examined the role of AR in regulating ALEs and AGEs formation in murine models of diet-induced obesity and streptozotocin-induced diabetes. In comparison with wild-type (WT) and AR-null mice fed normal chow, mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet (42% kcal fat) showed increased accumulation of AGEs and protein-acrolein adducts in the plasma. AGEs and acrolein adducts were also increased in the epididymal fat of WT and AR-null mice fed a HF diet. Deletion of AR increased the accumulation of 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE) protein adduct in the plasma and increased the expression of the AGE receptor (RAGE) in HF fed mice. No change in AGEs formation was observed in the kidneys of HF-fed mice. In comparison, renal tissue from AR-null mice treated with streptozotocin showed greater AGE accumulation than streptozotocin-treated WT mice. These data indicated that AR regulated the accumulation of lipid peroxidation derived aldehydes and AGEs under conditions of severe, but not mild, hyperglycemia and that deletion of AR increased RAGE-induction via mechanisms that were independent of AGEs accumulation.     

捕食量和温度对麦长管蚜在多异瓢虫体内可测定时间的影响

为了方便准确评价麦田捕食性天敌对麦长管蚜 Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) 的控制作用,应用单克隆抗体及间接 ELISA 方法研究了捕食量和温度对麦长管蚜在多异瓢虫 Adonia variegata（Goeze）体内可测定时间的影响。结果表明：在不同的温度和捕食量下,麦长管蚜在多异瓢虫体内的降解中间产物曲线均为单峰型。温度对猎物的可测定时间有显著的影响,随着温度的上升,猎物的可测定时间不断缩短。特别是当温度达到 30℃时,猎物的降解速率迅速上升,其可测定时间只有 1.18 天。捕食量对猎物的可测定时间也有显著影响,随着捕食量的增加,猎物的可测定时间延长。在 25℃的条件下,当捕食量从 1 头蚜虫增加到 3 头蚜虫,可测定时间从 2.81 天延长到 4.25 天。     

Temperature-controlled properties of DNA complexes with poly(ethylenimine)-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

End-functionalized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) was synthesized by living free radical polymerization and conventional free radical polymerization and was used to prepare graft copolymers with poly(ethylenimine) (PEI). The copolymers exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior between 30 and 32 degrees C and formed complexes with plasmid DNA. The LCST of the copolymers in the DNA complexes increased slightly to approximately 34-35 degrees C. Cytotoxicity of the copolymers was evaluated by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from cells. The copolymers exhibited temperature-dependent toxicity, with higher levels of LDH release observed at temperatures above the LCST. Cellular uptake and transfection activity of the DNA complexes with the PEI-g-PNIPA copolymers were lower than those of the control PEI/DNA complexes at temperature below the LCST but increased to the PEI/DNA levels at temperatures above the LCST.     

Interaction of the bacteria Xenorhabdus nematophila (Enterobactericeae) and Bacillus subtilis (Bacillaceae) with the hemocytes of larval Malacosoma disstria (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae)

Malacosoma disstria larvae are a pest of deciduous trees. Little is known on the interaction of bacteria with the immediate hemocytic antimicrobial responses of these insects. Incubating dead Xenorhabdus nematophila and Bacillus subtilis with a mixture of serum-free granular cells and plasmatocytes in vitro revealed differential bacterial-hemocyte adhesion and differential discharge of lysozyme and phenoloxidase but not total protein. Although active phenoloxidase adhered equally to both bacterial species, X. nematophila limited enzyme activation whereas B. subtilis enhanced activation. Serum with active phenoloxidase (as opposed to tropolone-inhibited phenoloxidase) and purified insect lysozyme increased bacterial-hemocyte adhesion of both bacterial species. An apolipophorin-III-like protein when incubated with hemocytes, limited their responses to glass slides and bacterial adhesion. However, initial binding of the protein to both bacteria increased granular cell levels with bacteria while lowering the plasmatocyte levels with adhering procaryotes. The protein also increased lysozyme and phenoloxidase activities. Although B. subtilis in vivo elicited a nodulation-based decline in total hemocyte counts and did not affect hemocyte viability, dead X. nematophila elevated hemocyte counts and damaged the hemocytes as lipopolysaccharide levels increased and X. nematophila emerged into the hemolymph. Apolipophorin-III-like protein once bound to the bacteria slowed their removal from the hemolymph.     

Response of Cowpeas to Salinity and (2-Chloroethyl) trimethyl-ammonium Chloride (CCC)

Recent investigations have demonstrated that the growth retardant, (2-chloroethyl) trimethyl-ammonium chloride (CCC) inhibits several aspects of vegetative growth. In solution culture experiments, reduction in plant growth and dry matter production was confirmed in cowpeas, Vigna unguiculata L, (cv. Makueni II), when treated with CCC. The growth retardant had negligible effect on the rate of transpiration per unit leaf area although it slightly increased the relative water content of leaves. Stomatal opening was suppressed by CCC treatment but the number of stomata per unit leaf area was increased by the growth retardant. Variations in mineral element content (K, Ca, N and Na) of shoots are presented and discussed in relation to CCC treatment.     

褐飞虱侵害后不同水稻品种根及叶片脱落酸含量的变化

为了解褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens （Stål）侵害后水稻耐虫性与植物体内源激素关系,应用酶联免疫吸附法（enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA）研究褐飞虱若虫侵害分蘖期超级培矮64S/E32和TN1,灌浆期协优963和TN1后根及叶片脱落酸（abscisic acid, ABA）含量变化.结果表明：褐飞虱侵害分蘖期超级培矮64S/E32和TN1后3 d,叶片ABA含量显著上升,ABA含量根冠比（根ABA/叶片ABA）显著下降;侵害后6 d,超级培矮64S/E32叶片ABA含量显著下降,根冠比显著上升;但TN1叶片ABA含量在褐飞虱侵害后3 d和6 d显著上升,根冠比显著下降.褐飞虱侵害灌浆期协优963与分蘖期超级培矮64S/E32变化一致,TN1在褐飞虱侵害后3 d叶片ABA含量显著上升,根冠比显著下降;侵害后6 d,叶片ABA含量、ABA含量根冠比均显著上升.由ABA含量变化百分比可见,分蘖期ABA含量变化幅度较灌浆期大;耐虫品种变化幅度较感虫品种大,持续期较感虫品种短;叶片变化幅度较根部大.褐飞虱侵害后,两种不同生育期两种抗性不同的水稻品种比较,耐虫品种叶片ABA含量先上升（3 d）后下降（6 d）,ABA含量根冠比先下降（3 d）后上升（6 d）;感虫品种叶片ABA含量持续上升（3 d和6 d）,分蘖期ABA含量根冠比持续下降（3 d和6 d）,灌浆期ABA含量根冠比先下降（3 d）后上升（6 d）;耐、感虫水稻品种根部变化规律不明显.这些差别表明不同水稻（耐虫和感虫）品种受褐飞虱侵害后体内ABA含量变化规律不同.本研究结果对深入阐明水稻耐虫品种的机制具有重要参考价值.
