共生菌在褐飞虱致害性变化中的作用

研究了不同虫源和致害性褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens种群体内共生菌数量动态及其对褐飞虱在抗虫品种上的取食选择、生长发育、繁殖以及氨基酸转移酶活性的影响。结果表明,褐飞虱田间种群的致害性与其体内共生菌数量有关。广西南宁种群雌成虫体内的共生菌数量显著地高于浙江杭州和龙游两个虫源的雌成虫体内共生菌数量,而已纯化的3个不同致害性生物型体内的共生菌数量无显著差异。取食抗性品种能显著减少生物型Ⅰ雌成虫体内的共生菌数量。缺乏共生菌时,生物型Ⅰ、Ⅱ若虫对水稻品种TN1和ASD7的选择性增大,而对Mudgo的取食选择性下降。尽管缺共生菌的3个生物型在已适应的和不适应的感虫和抗虫品种上的若虫存活率和雌成虫产卵量均下降,若虫历期明显延长,但在已适应品种上的变化程度明显小于在不适应的抗虫品种上的变化程度。共生菌还明显影响成虫体内丙氨酸氨基转移酶和天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶的活性。这些结果证明体内共生菌的数量和质量在褐飞虱对水稻致害性的变化中发挥了重要作用。     

不同虫源和致害性的褐飞虱体内共生菌的种群动态

通过对不同地理种群和致害性的褐飞虱体内共生菌,在高温和抗性水稻品种作用下的种群动态研究表明,在正常湿度下褐飞虱体内共生菌的数量随若虫的生长发育而增加,5龄若虫期是共生菌增长的关键期;同一种群的褐飞虱秋季共生菌数量明显高于夏季。广西田间种群的短翅雌虫体内的共生菌数量显高于浙江省的杭州和龙游种群,经高温处理后,3个生物开共生菌数量均显减少,但其子代共生菌的数量在正常温度下马上恢复,与未经高温处理的褐飞虱共生菌数量基本相同,取食抗性品种的生物型1和田间种群的褐飞虱体内的共生菌数量均明显减少,取食抗性品种的第2代的共生菌又均比第1代少。这说明高温对共生菌的影响是暂的,而抗性品种的对共生菌的作用与褐飞虱种群对品种的适应性有关。     

不同地理种群褐飞虱体内共生酵母菌的个体大小及数量差异

褐飞虱腹部脂肪体内普遍存在共生酵母菌,该类共生菌在褐飞虱的生理代谢和营养利用等方面起着重要作用。采用冷冻切片技术结合显微摄像系统观察法测定不同地理种群褐飞虱体内共生酵母菌的个体大小和数量。试验结果表明,不同地理种群褐飞虱雌(雄)成虫体内共生菌的个体大小和数量差异显著,依次为:对照种群>广西种群>浙江种群>福建种群。结合虫体内脂肪和糖元含量的分析得出,褐飞虱体内共生酵母菌的长、宽度和数量与脂肪和糖元含量显著正相关。文章从共生酵母菌的角度解释了不同地理种群褐飞虱致害性变异的内在原因,并推测,迁飞过程所导致的褐飞虱体内脂肪和糖元的消耗影响了该类共生菌的数量和质量,并最终导致褐飞虱对抗性品种水稻的致害性减弱。     

褐飞虱体内共生菌多样性研究进展

褐飞虱体内存在大量的共生菌,这些共生菌不但具有种类多样性,同时在对寄主的功能上也存在多样性。目前利用分子生物学手段以及高通量测序技术鉴定得到的测序丰度大于0.1%的共生真菌和共生细菌种类分属19和53个不同的属。由于技术的局限性和共生菌难以离体培养的特性,仍有相当部分共生菌分类地位尚未明确。共生菌在褐飞虱的生长、发育、繁殖、营养代谢、抗性变异以及免疫功能等生命活动中起着至关重要的作用,种类丰富的共生菌发挥着不同的功能。共生真菌主要参与固醇类物质和必需氨基酸的合成,而共生细菌则主要参与维生素的合成。共生菌在褐飞虱致害性变异、抗药性发展以及对宿主的繁殖等方面也都产生了重要的影响,但是具体的分子机制尚未明确。本文针对褐飞虱体内共生菌多样性研究概况进行综述,并对今后的研究侧重点提出了建议,后续研究可以聚焦于: (1)共生菌种类的鉴定;(2)特定、单一种类共生菌的功能;(3)共生菌在褐飞虱体内各组织间的扩散途径、扩散种类和调控机制;(4)以共生菌为靶标进行褐飞虱的防治等。     

芽孢杆菌的引入对褐飞虱微生物群和生长发育的影响

【目的】明确褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens体内可培养共生细菌的种类，探索其中芽孢杆菌类共生菌对褐飞虱微生物群和生长发育的影响。【方法】通过离体培养的方法，从褐飞虱两种不同致害性种群(TN1敏感种群和IR56高致害种群)中分离可培养共生细菌。通过16S rDNA测序对获得的可培养共生菌进行鉴定，在此基础上利用原位杂交研究了共生细菌在褐飞虱体内的分布。利用人工饲料添加抗生素和回补共生细菌的方式，研究了减菌和回补芽孢杆菌的处理对褐飞虱生长发育以及共生菌丰度的影响。比较了通过饲喂和显微注射对芽孢杆菌引入的影响，考察了芽孢杆菌的定殖与褐飞虱TN1种群致害性之间的相关性。【结果】利用离体培养法从褐飞虱中获得了15株不同的共生细菌，其中包括2株源于IR56高致害种群的芽孢杆菌类共生细菌BPH-S36和BPH-S33。原位杂交结果表明共生细菌在褐飞虱成虫唾液腺、肠道、脂肪体和雌虫内生殖器中均有分布，而在雄虫内生殖器中鲜有分布。体内共生细菌对褐飞虱的生长发育至关重要，共生细菌的减少导致褐飞虱存活率在第3和6天时显著下降，而回补共生芽孢杆菌BPH-S36或BPH-S33可使其存活率在第6天时显...     

褐飞虱体内Arsenophonus、Wolbachia、Spiroplasma和Cardinium四种次生共生菌感染分析

【目的】Arsenophonus、Wolbachia、Spiroplasma和Cardinium是广泛分布于昆虫体内的次生共生菌,能对寄主昆虫的生殖和发育生理产生影响,明确不同地理种群褐飞虱体内4种共生菌的感染和系统发育关系可为利用共生菌防治害虫提供技术依据。【方法】利用Arsenophonus特异性23S rRNA基因引物,Wolbachia、Spiroplasma和Cardinium各自的16S rRNA基因引物PCR检测广西10个地市、海南海口及上海、江苏南京、湖南长沙共14个地理种群褐飞虱雌、雄虫体内共生菌感染情况,并对扩增到的基因片段进行测序、构建系统发育树。【结果】不同地区2014年和2015年褐飞虱体内Arsenophonus感染率最高的分别为河池种群(30%)和长沙种群(20%)、PWolbachia感染率最高为河池种群(20%)和南京种群(30%),而Spiroplasma和Cardinium在褐飞虱各种群内均未检测到。序列比对和发育分析表明,褐飞虱体内Arsenophonus与同翅目昆虫白蜡虫Ericerus pela Chavannes体内感染的该菌关系最近;而感染Wolbachia菌的系统发育分析表明,除海南种群有一个个体感染Wolbachia菌A群外,其余种群感染的全部为B群;同时在所有感染两类共生菌的个体中并未发现共感染现象。【结论】不同地理种群褐飞虱感染Arsenophonus和Wolbachia两类共生菌的感染率并不一致;总体上褐飞虱雌虫Wolbachia感染率要高于雄虫,褐飞虱体内感染的两类共生菌与其它昆虫体内的共生菌序列高度一致或类似,且在所有检测的地理种群中均未发现有Spiroplasma和Cardinium感染。     

水稻褐飞虱内生共生细菌Arsenophonus的鉴定和系统分析

利用16S rDNA通用引物扩增了水稻褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens（Stål）体内共生细菌的序列,经克隆、测序和NCBI数据库比对,发现褐飞虱体内存在杀雄菌属Arsenophonus类共生细菌,系统发育上与粉虱科和木虱科体内的Arsenophonus属亲源关系较近。在褐飞虱体内该共生细菌具有两种长度不同的16S rDNA序列,分别为1 504 bp和547 bp,其中后者为前者中间缺失了957 bp,其余序列相同。通过重新设计两对引物进行扩增,进一步确认不同褐飞虱地理种群及寄主种群均存在两种片段。Arsenophonus特异的 23S rDNA引物的扩增结果表明,Arsenophonus存在于所有检测的褐飞虱种群中,但不存在于水稻寄主中。荧光定量PCR检测发现3个褐飞虱室内寄主种群Arsenophonus属共生细菌含量不同,其中TN1种群明显高于Mudgo种群和ASD7种群。此为水稻褐飞虱体内存在Arsenophonus属共生细菌的首次报道。     

三种稻飞虱成虫体内酵母类共生菌的形态差异

试验采用冷冻切片技术结合显微摄像系统观察法研究了酵母类共生菌在3种稻飞虱成虫体内的存在状态、形态特性以及种类和组成.光学显微镜观察证实,3种稻飞虱成虫的头部和胸部均未观察到共生菌,在其腹部脂肪体中有大量酵母类共生菌,且以出芽进行无性繁殖,并伴有菌胞的出现.3种稻飞虱成虫体内共生菌的形态和组成明显不同.其中,褐飞虱体内的共生菌个体较大,以梭形、杆状和卵形为主,分别占共生菌总数的30.7%、53.5%和15.1%;灰飞虱和白背飞虱体内的共生菌个体较小,以卵形为主,分别占共生菌总数的93.4%和94.7%.此外,褐飞虱成虫体内的各类共生菌都显著大于灰飞虱和白背飞虱成虫体内的同种类型个体,且灰飞虱和白背飞虱体内的同种共生菌个体大小之间也存在一定差异.     

褐飞虱体内酵母类共生菌的形态观察

试验采用冷冻切片技术结合显微摄像系统观察研究了褐飞虱雌成虫体内酵母类共生菌的形态特性和在寄主虫体内的存在状态.光学显微镜观察证实,褐飞虱雌成虫的头部和胸部均未观察到共生菌,在其腹部脂肪体中却发现大量酵母类共生菌的存在,且有大量的菌胞出现.菌胞已经成为褐飞虱特有的细胞器,其发育可划分为发育初期、共生菌增殖适应期、对数增殖期(高峰期)、释放期和衰竭期5个阶段.按照形态划分,褐飞虱体内的酵母类共生菌有4大类型,即长梭形、杆状、卵形和球状.其中,长梭形和杆状个体最多、占绝大多数,卵形和球状个体很少见.此外,还发现具假膈梭形和不规则共生菌的存在.同时观察到该类共生菌通过多边芽殖进行无性繁殖,且以顶端芽殖(包括两端芽殖)为主.     

褐飞虱不同致害性种群体内共生菌18S rDNA部分序列比较

分离纯化了褐飞虱3种不同致害性种群体内类酵母共生菌 (yeast-like symbionts, YLS),并对其18S rDNA基因序列进行了比较。结果表明,褐飞虱3种不同致害性种群体内类酵母共生菌18S rDNA均扩增出600 bp左右的片断。依据获得的18S rDNA特异性序列,结合已知真菌的18S rDNA部分序列,构建了不同宿主的YLS分子系统树。结果显示, 褐飞虱3种不同致害性种群体内的YLS同属子囊菌亚门（Ascomycotina）的核菌纲（Pyrenomycetes）,并与此纲中的Hypomyces chrysospermus亲缘关系相对最近。     

Planthopper "adaptation" to resistant rice varieties: changes in amino acid composition over time

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, shows considerable geographic and temporal variability in its response to varieties of cultivated rice. N. lugens has repeatedly “adapted” to resistant rice varieties; however, the physiological changes underlying planthopper adaptation are poorly understood. Endosymbionts within planthoppers, such as yeast-like endosymbionts (YLS) could play a role as they produce essential amino acids for planthoppers. We used a full factorial study to determine how natal rice variety, exposed rice variety, YLS presence, and the number of reared generations affected nymphal development, planthopper total nitrogen content, and planthopper hydrolyzed amino acid profiles. Nymphal development was strongly influenced by a four-way interaction between the exposed rice variety, natal rice variety, number of reared generations, and YLS presence. While symbiosis improved nymphal performance in the 8th generation, it appeared to be a drain on nymphs in the 11th generation, when the aposymbiotic nymphs actually showed higher performance than the symbiotic nymphs. This suggests that the symbiotic relationship may be acting beneficially in one generation while acting as a drain during another generation. Aposymbiotic planthoppers reared for 11 generations had a higher proportional concentration of rare amino acids than those reared for 8 generations, indicating that the planthopper itself appears to improve its ability to acquire rare amino acids. Therefore, the change in amino acid composition of planthoppers suggests an underlying change in protein expression or amino acid metabolism over time.     

Benefits and potential trade‐offs associated with yeast‐like symbionts during virulence adaptation in a phloem‐feeding planthopper

Insect herbivores form symbioses with a diversity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. A role for endosymbionts during host feeding on nutrient‐poor diets – including phloem – is now supported by a large body of evidence. Furthermore, symbiont‐herbivore associations have been implicated in feeding preferences by host races (mainly aphids) on multiple plant species. However, the role of symbionts in mediating herbivore preferences between varieties of the same plant species has received little research attention despite the implications for virulence adaptation to resistant crops. This study investigates the role of yeast‐like symbionts (YLS) in virulence adaptation and host plant switching among populations of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), that were selected on various rice [Oryza sativa L. (Poaceae)] lines differing in their resistance against herbivores. Planthopper fitness (nymph weight) declined where YLS densities were depleted through heat treatment. However, compared to normal symbiotic planthoppers, the depletion of symbionts did not generally change the relative fitness of planthoppers (each ‘adapted’ to a single natal host) when switched to feed on a range of rice lines (exposed hosts). In some cases, this occurred despite differences in YLS density responses to the various hosts. Furthermore, we detected no fitness costs associated with YLS in adapted populations. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that, whereas YLS are essential for planthopper nutrition, changes in YLS density play little role during virulence adaptation and host plant switching by the brown planthopper.     

Sterol biosynthesis by symbiotes: cytochrome P450 sterol C-22 desaturase genes from yeastlike symbiotes of rice planthoppers and anobiid beetles

Rice planthoppers and anobiid beetles harbor intracellular yeastlike symbiotes (YLS), whose sterols are nutritionally advantageous for the host insects that cannot synthesize sterols. YLS of anobiid beetles synthesize ergosterol, whereas YLS of planthoppers produce ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trienol, which is a metabolic intermediate in the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway in yeasts. Since sterol C-22 desaturase (ERG5p, CYP61) metabolizes ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trienol into ergosta-5,7,22,24(28)-tetraenol, which is the penultimate compound in the ergosterol biosynthesis, we examined the gene of this enzyme to determine whether this enzyme works in the planthopper YLS. C-22 desaturase genes (ERG5) of YLS of the planthoppers and beetles had four introns in identical positions; such introns are not found in the reported genes of yeasts. Cytochrome P450 cysteine heme-iron ligand signature motif was well conserved among the putative amino acid sequences. The gene expression of the planthopper YLS were strongly suppressed, and the genes possessed nonsense mutations. The accumulation of ergosta-5,7,24(28)-trienol in the planthopper YLS was attributed to the inability of the planthopper YLS to produce functional ERG5p.     

三种稻飞虱体内类酵母共生菌18S rDNA和 ITS 5.8S rDNA序列克隆及进化分析

为研究水稻3种主要害虫灰飞虱Laodelphax striatellus、 褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens和白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera体内类酵母共生菌（yeast-like symbiotes, YLS）的种属地位及与寄主的进化关系, 测定了其体内YLS的18S rDNA及ITS-5.8S rDNA的全长序列。基于3种稻飞虱体内YLS的18S rDNA序列比对表明, 褐飞虱YLS和白背飞虱YLS的一致性比其与灰飞虱YLS的高（褐飞虱YLS和白背飞虱YLS为98.91%, 灰飞虱YLS和褐飞虱YLS为95.74%, 灰飞虱YLS和白背飞虱YLS为96.02%）, 而基于ITS-5.8S rDNA序列比对, 灰飞虱YLS和白背飞虱YLS的一致性比其与褐飞虱YLS的要高（白背飞虱YLS和灰飞虱YLS为99.57%, 灰飞虱YLS和褐飞虱YLS为91.91%, 白背飞虱YLS和褐飞虱YLS为90.46%）。基于真菌18S rDNA和ITS-5.8S rDNA的系统发育树均表明, 3种稻飞虱体内YLS与其他已知真菌进化关系较远。本研究证实了昆虫真菌类共生菌与寄主形成了长期的进化关系, 从而形成了不同于已知真菌的分类地位。     

Insect symbiosis: derivation of yeast-like endosymbionts within an entomopathogenic filamentous lineage

Yeast-like endosymbionts (YLSs) of insects often are restricted to specific hosts and are essential to the host's survival. For example, in planthoppers (Homoptera: Delphacidae), endosymbionts function in sterol utilization and nitrogen recycling for the hosts. Our study, designed to investigate evolutionary changes in the YLS lineage involved in the planthopper association, strongly suggests an origin of the YLSs from within the filamentous ascomycetes (Euascomycetes), not the true yeasts (Saccharomycetes), as their morphology might indicate. During divergence of the planthopper YLSs, dramatic changes would have occurred in the insect-fungus interaction and the fungal morphology that have previously been undescribed in filamentous ascomycetes. Phylogenetic trees were based on individual and combined data sets of 2.6 kb of the nuclear small- and large-subunit ribosomal RNA genes for YLSs from three rice planthoppers (Laodelphax striatellus, Nilaparvata lugens, and Sogatella furcifera) compared with 56 other fungi. Parsimony analysis placed the planthopper YLSs within Cordyceps (Euascomycetes: Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae), a genus of filamentous insects and a few fungal pathogenic ascomycetes. Another YLS species restricted to the aphid Hamiltonaphis styraci (Homoptera: Aphididae) was a sister taxon to the planthopper YLSS: Filamentous insect pathogens (Metarhizium and Beauveria) specific to the same species of insect hosts as the YLSs also formed lineages within the Clavicipitaceae, but these were distinct from the clade comprising YLS species. Trees constrained to include the YLSs in families of the Hypocreales other than the Clavicipitaceae were rejected by the Kishino-Hasegawa test. In addition, the results of this study support a hypothesis of two independent origins of insect-associated YLSs from among filamentous ascomycetes: the planthopper YLSs in the Clavicipitaceae and the YLSs associated with anobiid beetles (Symbiotaphrina species). Several lineages of true yeasts (Saccharomycetes) also formed endosymbiotic associations with beetles, but they were not closely related to either group derived from the filamentous ascomycetes.     

稻飞虱天敌螯蜂研究进展

稻飞虱（褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens、白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera、灰飞虱Laodelphax striatellus）是世界性重要的水稻Oryza sativa L.害虫之一,给水稻生产造成了重大经济损失。化学防治一直是控制稻飞虱的主要途径,但长期使用化学药剂使稻飞虱产生抗药性,并引起害虫增殖等诸多弊端,迫切需要有效的生物防控手段进行控害。螯蜂是稻飞虱若虫和成虫期重要天敌,兼具捕食与寄生的双重习性,在控制稻飞虱种群数量方面发挥着重要的作用,然而,国内外有关螯蜂的研究报道仍然偏少。本文综述了我国稻飞虱天敌螯蜂常见种类、生物学特性、控害效果及其影响因子,分析了存在的问题,旨在为进一步开发利用螯蜂资源提供参考。

灰飞虱体内一种酵母类共生菌的分子鉴定

为明确稻飞虱体内酵母类共生菌（yeast-like symbiont,YLS）的种类,采用超速离心的方法分离纯化灰飞虱Laodelphax striatellus（Fallén）体内YLS,用真菌的通用引物对其18S rDNA、5.8S-ITS rDNA全长序列进行扩增。结果得到一条分子量约为2 340 bp的序列。序列同源性分析表明,该菌与Noda等所报道的类酵母菌的18S rDNA序列差异较大（同源性只有89.6％）,而与季也蒙毕赤酵母Pichia guilliermondii有99.8％的同源性。原位杂交（ISH）和巢氏PCR均证明该菌存在于灰飞虱脂肪体和卵内,但数量较少。因此,灰飞虱体内YLS除了Noda等报道的类酵母菌外,尚存在另外一种季也蒙毕赤酵母菌。     

Consequences of stress induced by heat on fitness of Delphacodes kuscheli and its yeast‐like endosymbionts

The planthopper Delphacodes kuscheli is the main vector of Mal de Río Cuarto virus in Argentina, disease that severely affects maize production. In this study, we investigated the effects of heat stress on fitness traits and on the number of its obligate yeast‐like symbionts (YLS). The exposition of newly‐hatched nymphs to 35°C for 3 days, a well‐known procedure used to reduce the number of YLS in planthoppers, was applied. To compare different fitness components between control and heat‐treated insects, we estimated nymphal instars development time, nymphal survival, adult body length, longevity, fecundity and fertility. Also, correlates of fitness, as proportion of sexes and wing forms of the emerging adults, were evaluated. In heat‐treated group, the nymphal developmental time increased due to an increase in the fifth instar duration, and the nymphal survival, body length of adults and fecundity were reduced when compared to control. There was a significant association between treatments (control and heat‐treated insects) and wing morphs. The heat treatment successfully reduced the number of YLS in third instar nymphs of D. kuscheli. Our results revealed the negative effect of heat stress on development, survival and reproduction of D. kuscheli and on the load of its YLS endosymbionts suggesting that YLS could play a crucial role in the development and reproduction of these planthoppers.     

用ELISA方法定量评价食虫沟瘤蛛对稻飞虱的捕食作用(英文)

对捕食性节肢动物的捕食作用进行评价是害虫生物防治研究的一个重要内容。本文利用酶联免疫吸附试验（ＥＬＩＳＡ）定量评价了食虫沟瘤蛛对稻飞虱的捕食作用。结果表明,方法特异性完全符合试验要求;食虫沟瘤蛛在捕食３头３－５龄白背飞虱或褐飞虱若虫后的检出期分别为９６小时和１２０小时;在早稻田中,捕食性天敌对白背飞虱和褐飞虱的阳性反应率分别为１９．０５％－４７．３４％和１９．０５％－６６．６７％,在飞虱密度较低时,捕食性天敌仍表现出较高的阳性率;捕食量随飞虱密度的增加而增加,但捕食率下降。捕食性节肢动物是调节褐飞虱种群动态的重要因子之一。
