变温对两种昆虫发育速率的影响

报道了松毛虫赤眼蜂和瓜螟在多组恒温、交替变温下的发育历期。对结果的分析表明,温度交替对这两种昆虫在任一温度下的瞬时发育率无明显影响,恒温下和变温下完成发育所需的热量无显著差异或基本相似。     

赤眼蜂发育速率对梯度恒温的响应

赤眼蜂发育速率对梯度恒温的响应关系到生物防治效果问题,以稻螟赤眼蜂与玉米螟赤眼蜂为例,研究了两种赤眼蜂分别在10、15、20、25、30、35、37℃梯度恒温下的相应世代发育历期,并运用直线回归模型与王-兰-丁模型两种拟合法,对温度与发育速率的关系进行了拟合。研究结果表明:温度对两种赤眼蜂的世代发育历期有明显的影响,在试验梯度温度10-37℃范围内,两种赤眼蜂的世代发育历期随温度升高而逐渐缩短。在10℃至30℃范围内,两种赤眼蜂的发育历期迅速缩短。在30℃到37℃范围内,两种赤眼蜂的发育历期变化进入一个相对平稳时期。在试验温度为30、35、37℃,稻螟赤眼蜂与玉米螟赤眼蜂的发育历期分别为7.75、7.45、7.95d和8.05、7.50、7.90d,差异不显著。通过直线回归法,可得稻螟赤眼蜂与玉米螟赤眼蜂的发育起点温度分别为5.23℃和5.24℃,有效积温分别为212.77d·℃和217.39d·℃;利用王氏模型法,得到两种赤眼蜂的发育最低温、发育最适温和发育最高温分别为7.96、18.91、38.99℃和6.97、18.87、38.99℃。稻螟赤眼蜂与玉米螟赤眼蜂在10-37℃的试验温度范围内,发育速率随温度升高而相应增大。在10-30℃范围内,两种赤眼蜂的发育速率迅速增长;在30-35℃范围内,两种赤眼蜂的发育速率进入一个相对平稳时期,超过临界高温TH后,随温度升高发育速率最终降为0。讨论了赤眼蜂发育速率对梯度恒温响应研究中应注意的梯度恒温设计和数学模型选择问题。     

Palmdelphin在出生后发育的大鼠小脑中的表达模式研究

Palmdelphin是参与质膜的动态变化与细胞形态的调控的paralemmin家族新成员,与神经发育的相关性尚不明确.前期工作提示,它与调控小脑发育的一种肌动蛋白结合蛋白Mtss1(metastasis suppressor1)具有一定相关性.为了探索该基因与小脑出生后发育的相关性,利用原位杂交技术研究Palmdelphin在小脑中的时空表达,结果表明,Palmdelphin在出生后第7d大鼠小脑中有明显的表达,且分布主要集中在浦肯野神经元.半定量RT-PCR的结果进一步表明Palmdelphin的转录水平在小脑发育过程中受到调控,在出生后7d有表达高峰.这些结果显示Palmdelphin与小脑出生后神经元发育存在一定相关性.     

酮体调控出生后器官发育的研究进展

酮体是在诸如低糖饮食、长时间禁食或剧烈运动等特定条件下,由肝脏通过脂肪酸氧化代谢过程产生的一系列衍生代谢物,包括β-羟基丁酸、乙酰乙酸和丙酮。酮体不仅在能量供应不足时能为机体提供能量,还能作为信号分子,发挥多样的生物学功能,如通过与特定受体结合激活信号转导通路,或参与调节表观遗传修饰,影响细胞增殖、分化和凋亡等过程。在该课题组前期研究基础上,通过查询相关研究资料,文章就酮体对出生后器官发育的调控作用,尤其是酮体如何调控心脏、生殖器官和神经系统等关键器官的发育方面的研究进展进行了综述并分析了酮体在维护这些器官结构和功能完整性方面的作用,旨在为治疗相关的代谢紊乱和发育缺陷提出新策略,为未来临床干预提供科学依据。     

昆虫完全变态发育与其共生微生物之间的相互影响

完全变态昆虫在发育过程中要经过卵、幼虫、蛹和成虫四个阶段,它们在幼虫和成虫阶段形态构造和生活习性明显不同,这一现象被称为适应性解耦,使幼虫和成虫能够更独立地完成不同的任务,各自获得更高的效率,这对完全变态昆虫有巨大的生态和进化意义。然而这种发育方式为完全变态昆虫与微生物建立稳定的共生关系带来了巨大的挑战。它们在变态过程中身体结构的重塑、饮食习惯的改变等使微生物居住的栖息地发生彻底转变,微生物在昆虫宿主个体不同发育阶段和不同个体代际之间的垂直传递也受到了限制。为了高保真地维持稳定的共生关系,部分完全变态昆虫和共生微生物进化出多样的严格垂直传递或者规避完全变态发育的传递方式。也有部分完全变态昆虫趁此机会实现与共生微生物的关系解绑,与新的微生物建立联系,呈现出在不同生命阶段共生微生物的动态变化。此外,昆虫变态发育还直接受到共生微生物的影响,微生物能保护宿主在变态发育中最脆弱的阶段免受病原体感染,为变态发育提供必需的营养物质和促进变态发育的因子。因此,本综述将总结和深入探究昆虫完全变态发育与其共生微生物之间的相互影响。     

昆虫发育过程中的速率累加效应对其日均发育率的影响

昆虫发育速率V与温度T之间呈S型曲线关系。在确定适合昆虫发育的变温范围的基础上,利用萝卜蚜的试验数据,通过计算机模拟,探讨了“速率累加”过程通过V与T之间的曲线关系在各种变温条件下对昆虫日均发育速率所产生的影响。结果表明,在排除温度波动本身可改变瞬时发育速率的前提下,这种速率累加效应导致在低温区内变温下的发育比在恒温下快,在高温区内则相反,且温度变幅越广差异就越大。文中指出,由于日均发育速率会依温度的变化方式和幅度不同而发生改变,而依据恒温速率曲线可计算出各种变温下的发育进度,故对于预测昆虫在适温区发育进度而言,恒温试验结果比变温试验结果具有更广泛的适用性。     

烟粉虱两种寄生蜂生物学特性及寄主竞争关系研究

室内比较了寄生烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci的两种寄生蜂——丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa和浅黄恩蚜小蜂En. sophia的生物学特性,并研究了以烟粉虱为寄主时两种寄生蜂间的竞争关系。结果表明：两者的后足胫节长度间无显著差异。浅黄恩蚜小蜂的产卵器及卵均长于丽蚜小蜂的,但浅黄恩蚜小蜂的待产卵量显著少于丽蚜小蜂。浅黄恩蚜小蜂检测寄主所花时间短于丽蚜小蜂,但检查圈数显著多于丽蚜小蜂,产卵时间以丽蚜小蜂所花时间为多。以4龄初期的烟粉虱为寄主时,丽蚜小蜂的卵期为48 h,而浅黄恩蚜小蜂24 h即完成卵期的发育。后者的蛹历期也显著短于丽蚜小蜂的蛹历期。丽蚜小蜂由卵到成虫的总发育历期比浅黄恩蚜小蜂的要长72 h左右。一头丽蚜小蜂与一头浅黄恩蚜小蜂组合后的总产卵量为14.0粒,略高于两头丽蚜小蜂组合的总产卵量（10.2粒）,显著高于两头浅黄恩蚜小蜂组合的产卵量（9.5粒）;两种蜂组合的处理中被寄生寄主体内的着卵量为1.73粒,显著高于单独一种蜂组合中被寄生寄主的着卵量,后两者分别为1.29和1.39粒。在寄主竞争情况下,在被两种蜂均寄生的寄主体内丽蚜小蜂和浅黄恩蚜小蜂产入的卵量分别为1.21和1.43粒,显著高于仅被一种蜂寄生的寄主体内的对应蜂种的卵量,后者分别为1.06和1.19粒。结果提示两种蜂均能识别对方的存在,且浅黄恩蚜小蜂表现出更强的竞争能力。

External characteristics and associated developmental changes in two species of Sulawesi macaques,Macaca tonkeana andM. hecki,with special reference to hybrids and the borderland between the species

The degree of intergradation between two species of Sulawesi macaques,Macaca tonkeana andM. hecki, was studied by examining the diagnostic external characteristics of more than 100 monkeys kept as pets by natives. Two possible hybrid monkeys were found and both originated from the borderland between the two species, located in the most proximal region of the northern peninsula of Sulawesi. The previously postulated wide area of integradation between the two species at the possible contact zone was, however, not recognized, and typical examples oftonkeana orhecki were found to be present on the two sides of a narrow “hybrid” zone which was defined by direct observations. Furthermore, despite considerable individual variations, we were able to allocate most monkeys to one or other of the species. Each of ten external characteristics of the members of both species more or less encompassed the individual variations, but may undergo changes with the development of the monkeys. The mechanisms of reproduction of hybrid monkeys and the maintenance of differences between the species are discussed.     

Phylogenetic relationships ofPseudopanax species (Araliaceae) inferred from parsimony analysis of rDNA sequence data and morphology

Sequence data from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of rDNA and data from morphology, cytology and wood anatomy are used to study phylogenetic relationships inPseudopanax. The molecular and non-molecular data are analysed as independent data sets and in combination using parsimony. Results supported the conclusion that the genusPseudopanax is polyphyletic.Pseudopanax species emerge in two major monophyletic groups. The Anomalus group containsPseudopanax anomalus, P. edgerleyi, andP. simplex; these species share a common ancestor withCheirodendron trigynum and more distantly withPseudopanax gunnii. The second major group consists of two smaller groups: the Arboreus group, includingPseudopanax arboreus, P. colensoi, P. kermadecensis, P. laetus, andP. macintyrei, and the Crassifolius/Discolor group, includingP. chathamicus, P. crassifolius, P. discolor, P. ferox, P. gilliesii, P. lessonii, andP. linearis. Meryta species are close relatives of thePseudopanax Arboreus and Crassifolius/Discolor groups.

Further characterization of the cathepsin L-associated protein and its gene in two species of the brine shrimp, Artemia

The major cysteine protease in embryos and larvae of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is a heterodimer composed of a cathepsin L-like polypeptide of 28.5 kDa and a 31.5 kDa polypeptide called the cathepsin L-associated protein or CLAP. In a previous study, CLAP was shown to be a cell adhesion protein containing two Fas I domains and two GTP/ATP binding sites known as Walker A and B motifs. Here, we have characterized CLAP and its genes to better understand the role of this protein in Artemia development. The polymerase chain reaction was used to investigate the structure of the CLAP gene in two species of Artemia, the New World bisexual diploid A. franciscana and the Old World parthenogenetic tetraploid Artemia parthenogenetica. The protein coding region of the CLAP gene from each species was 99.5% identical for a protein of 332 amino acids, while the 3' non-coding region, representing nearly 45% of the gene, was only 86% identical between the two related species. However, while the CLAP gene is intronless in A. franciscana, in A. parthenogenetica the gene contained a mini-intron of 30 base pairs in the 3' non-coding region. The sequences representing the CLAP gene in A. franciscana and A. parthenogenetica have been entered into the NCBI database as AY757920 and DQ100385, respectively. Northern blot analysis showed that while the cathepsin L gene is expressed constitutively in Artemia franciscana embryos and young larvae, the CLAP gene is not expressed in late embryos and young larvae. In contrast, Western blots indicated that CLAP is present in developing embryos and young larvae, at least to the first larval molt, supporting results obtained previously showing CLAP's resistance to degradation by its dimeric partner, cathepsin L. At the protein level we showed that the GTP/ATP binding sites in CLAP are functional with rate constants of 0.024 and 0.022 for GTP and ATP hydrolase activity, respectively. GTP but not ATP also had a slight stimulatory effect on cathepsin L activity of the heterodimeric protease containing CLAP. Our results support the hypothesis that CLAP plays an important role in targeting and expression regulation of cathepsin L activity during early development of Artemia.     

The physiological and morphological characteristics of Neoplectana carpocapsae (Nematoda,Steinernematidae) in two insect hosts

Morphometry, catalytic (redox potential) activity, and body surface potential of two infective-stage juvenile populations of Neoaplectana carpocapsae, obtained from Sitophilus granarius adults and Galleria mellonella larvae, were compared. The relationship among these three morphological and physiological parameters and the degree of pathogenicity (=infectivity) and incidence of the nematode infection (=extensity) in Achroia grisella caterpillars, Trogoderma granarium larvae, and Tribolium confusum adults was discussed.
