成虫饲料中糖与奶粉不同配比对家蝇繁殖力及卵黄蛋白发生的影响

本文研究了成蝇饲料中糖与奶粉不同配比对家蝇繁殖力及卵黄蛋白发生的影响,旨在为家蝇Musca domestica大规模高效养殖提供技术支持。结果表明,随着成蝇饲料中奶粉比例提高,单雌产卵量逐渐提高,且差异显著,但当饲料中奶粉比例达到和超过80%以后,单雌产卵量又显著减少,其中以60%奶粉+40%白糖饲养雌蝇产卵量最高(1935.83粒/雌),用100%白糖饲养产卵量最低(328.17粒/雌)。当成蝇饲料中白糖的添加比例为20%~60%时,雌虫寿命和产卵期差异均不显著,但用100%奶粉或80%以上的白糖饲养,雌虫寿命和产卵期显著缩短;雄虫寿命则随饲料中白糖比例的增加而延长;奶粉与白糖配比的变化对雌蝇产卵前期无显著影响。卵孵化率随饲料中白糖比例的增加而下降,尤其当饲料中白糖比例超过60%以后,卵孵化率下降更为明显。进一步测定卵黄蛋白的结果表明,雌蝇取食含糖量越高的饲料,其每日合成的卵黄蛋白及羽化后15 d内合成的总卵黄蛋白也越少,尤其是雌蝇完全摄取白糖,其每日合成的卵黄蛋白均维持在一个较低的水平,而蛋白质补充过多(如奶粉在饲料中的比例超过60%),雌蝇每日合成的卵黄蛋白及羽化后15 d内合成的总卵黄蛋白,基本不随饲料中奶粉的增加而增加。综合以上结果,作者认为用60%奶粉+40%白糖作为家蝇成虫的营养补充料,其不仅能保持雌蝇良好的繁殖力,同时也能有效降低成蝇养殖成本。     

梨小食心虫蛹重对成虫繁殖力和寿命及下一代幼虫发育的影响

【目的】本文旨在明确营养状况不同造成的梨小食心虫Grapholitha molesta(Busck)雌、雄蛹重量差异对其羽化的成虫产卵量、产卵期、寿命及下一代(F1)幼虫发育的影响。【方法】室内条件下,通过不同的饲养方法,获得个体重量不同的梨小食心虫雌、雄蛹,待其羽化交配后,记录其产卵量、产卵时间和成虫寿命;卵孵化前后,分别测量卵和初孵幼虫大小,计算卵孵化率,统计幼虫发育历期。【结果】雌蛹重量对梨小食心虫的成虫产卵量影响显著,其重量与产卵量呈正相关(y=15.505x-59.292);同一条件下,雌蛹与雄蛹重量也呈正相关(y=0.823x-0.538)。同时,雌蛹重量对成虫产卵期影响也较大,蛹重大的个体羽化的雌虫比蛹重小的个体羽化的雌虫产卵高峰期提前1 d;较重、中等和较轻蛹羽化出的雌虫个体每天产卵量高于10粒/雌的时间分别为9~10,7和5~6 d;产卵量高于5粒/雌的时间分别为12~13,9和6~7 d。而雄蛹重量对产卵量、雄成虫寿命影响没有明显影响。较轻的蛹羽化的雌成虫寿命比较重蛹羽化的雌成虫短2~3 d;而雄蛹重量对其羽化的雄成虫寿命影响没有明显规律。雌、雄蛹重量对其羽化成虫的卵孵化率、卵和初孵幼虫的大小影响均不显著,对F_1幼虫发育历期影响也不显著。【结论】梨小食心虫雌蛹重对羽化成虫的产卵量和产卵期等影响显著,田间防治时应注意在不同条件下完成发育的个体,尤其是雌虫,由于营养差异引起的个体大小对随后种群增长的影响。

柳毒蛾繁殖生物学的初步观察

【目的】为了明确柳毒蛾Leucoma salicis(Linnaeus)交配的日节律高峰,温度和不同交配持续时间处理对成虫寿命、产卵量和孵化率等繁殖生物学的影响。【方法】将新羽化的柳毒蛾成虫置于养虫笼中,观察交配的日节律高峰,并统计不同温度和不同交配持续时间处理下的成虫寿命、产卵量和孵化率。【结果】成虫在羽化当晚的后半夜凌晨开始交尾,次日晚上开始产卵。成虫交配集中在羽化翌日凌晨3:00—5:00之间,高峰为4:00。产卵高峰都出现在2日龄成虫,但是,25℃下成虫交配持续时间(9.2 h)显著短于28℃(11.8 h)。交配持续时间为30、60和300 min的处理,雌成虫平均寿命显著长于对照(对照9.2 h),雄虫仅60 min的处理显著长于对照。同时,极短的交配持续时间(30 min)显著降低雌虫的产卵量和孵化率。【结论】试验明确了成虫交配的日节律高峰,在适宜的温度范围内(25~28℃),雌雄成虫的寿命、单雌总产卵量无显著差异,交配持续时间明显影响成虫寿命、产卵量和卵孵化率。     

家蝇不同地理种群生物学特性的比较

本文对家蝇Musca domestica L 14个不同地理种群的生物学特性进行了比较研究,筛选家蝇优良品种用于大规模饲养.结果显示,不同地理种群卵的孵化率,幼虫存活率、化蛹率,蛹的羽化率,成虫产卵量、寿命及性比均有较显著差异.产卵量是衡量家蝇能否进行大规模人工饲养主要的生物学指标,结果表明新疆石河子种群(28.4粒)和浙江杭州种群(24.4粒)的单雌日平均产卵量显著大于其它种群,因此建议选取新疆石河子种群和浙江杭州种群进行大规模人工饲养.     

短时高温对意大利蝗存活和生殖的影响

【目的】明确短时高温对意大利蝗Calliptamus italicus(L.)存活和生殖的影响,为气候变暖趋势下意大利蝗灾害的预测预报及综合防治提供理论依据。【方法】采集初羽化24h内的意大利蝗雌雄成虫,于30℃光照培养箱中饲养。设置4个温度处理组,分别为33、36、39、42℃,每日处理4h,之后放回30℃光照培养箱中继续饲养。未经过短时高温处理的意大利蝗为对照组。观察记录各组意大利蝗存活率、寿命、产卵前期、产卵期、单雌产卵量、卵巢发育情况及卵巢中卵黄蛋白含量,并分析变化规律。【结果】短时高温对意大利蝗成虫存活率无显著影响,但对其寿命有显著影响(P0.01),其中33℃处理4h,意大利蝗雌雄成虫寿命显著延长(P0.01),而36~42℃范围内处理4h,意大利蝗雌雄成虫寿命显著缩短(P0.01)。短时高温对意大利蝗产卵前期有显著影响(P0.05),随温度升高,产卵前期缩短,但对产卵期没有显著影响(P0.05)。短时高温对意大利蝗单雌产卵量有显著影响(P0.01),其中33℃处理组单雌产卵量为(57.6±2.4)粒,显著高于对照组(P0.01),36~42℃范围内,随温度升高单雌产卵量显著降低(P0.01)。短时高温对意大利蝗卵巢长度、鲜重及发育历期有显著影响(P0.01),但对卵巢宽度没有显著影响(P0.05),且随温度升高,卵巢长度、宽度、鲜重及发育历期均呈下降趋势。短时高温可使卵黄蛋白在卵巢中提前沉积,并对其含量(峰值)有显著影响(P0.01),其中33℃处理组卵黄蛋白含量(峰值)为(49.795±6.253)mg/mL,显著高于对照组(P0.01),36~42℃范围内处理4h,卵黄蛋白含量(峰值)显著减少(P0.01)。【结论】33℃处理4h,意大利蝗存活及生殖特性显著提高,而36℃及以上高温对意大利蝗生长繁殖产生不利影响。

【目的】为明确大豆荚发育程度对点蜂缘蝽Riptortus pedestris成虫存活及生殖力的影响。【方法】在室内24℃±1℃恒温下,用不同日龄(5, 15, 25, 35和45日龄)离体鲜豆荚饲喂点蜂缘蝽,测定成虫寿命、产卵前期、产卵期、单雌产卵量等生物学参数和不同日龄豆荚籽粒中脂肪、总蛋白和总糖含量,分析点蜂缘蝽成虫的生物学参数与不同日龄豆荚籽粒中主要营养成分含量之间的相关性。【结果】随着所取食豆荚日龄的增加,点蜂缘蝽成虫的平均寿命、产卵期、单雌产卵量呈先增加然后下降的趋势,而产卵前期的变化趋势则相反。当饲喂35日龄豆荚时,点蜂缘蝽成虫寿命最长(56.90±9.47 d),产卵前期最短(6.00±0.58 d),产卵期最长(29.67±6.61 d),单雌产卵量最高(129.56±36.53粒),且与取食其他日龄豆荚的成虫之间存在显著差异。点蜂缘蝽成虫寿命、产卵期、单雌产卵量均与豆荚籽粒脂肪和总蛋白含量呈显著正相关,产卵前期与豆荚籽粒脂肪和总蛋白含量呈显著负相关。【结论】大豆荚发育程度对点蜂缘蝽成虫寿命及生殖力等生物学参数具有显著的影响,35日龄豆荚对点蜂缘蝽成虫存活和繁殖最为有利。     

不同品种枣树对枣飞象成虫寿命和繁殖的影响

为了明确不同品种枣树对枣飞象Scythropus yasumatsui成虫寿命和繁殖的影响,筛选出枣飞象成虫适宜的枣树品种,以期为枣飞象建立人工饲养种群和综合治理奠定基础。在室内以木枣、狗头枣、赞皇枣、骏枣和酸枣分别饲养枣飞象成虫,研究不同品种枣树对枣飞象成虫寿命、产卵前期、产卵期、产卵量、卵孵化率和每雌子代数的影响。不同品种枣树对枣飞象成虫寿命有明显影响,取食木枣的雌、雄虫寿命最长,分别为36.6±1.15 d和32.3±1.61 d,取食酸枣雌、雄虫寿命最短,分别为29.8±1.55 d和25.6±1.64 d。不同品种枣树对枣飞象成虫产卵前期和产卵率没有明显影响。取食木枣和狗头枣的枣飞象成虫产卵期明显长于赞皇枣、骏枣和酸枣,取食木枣的枣飞象成虫产卵量和每雌子代数最高,分别为76.3±2.87粒和67.0±2.7头,显著高于其它4种枣树,说明木枣对枣飞象成虫产卵期、产卵量和每雌子代数有明显影响。在室内饲养枣飞象成虫,木枣是最适宜饲养枣飞象成虫的枣树品种。

Systematic significance of mature embryo of bamboos

The mature embryo of seven species belonging to five genera of Indian bamboos is described. In all these the basic pattern of embryo organisation is same: the scutellar and coleoptilar bundles are not separated by an internode, the epiblast is absent, the lower portion of the scutellum and the coleorhiza are separated by a cleft and the margins of embryonic leaves overlap. The features unique to fleshy fruited bamboos are: presence of a massive scutellum, the juxtaposition of plumule and radicle and the occurrence of a bud in the axil of the coleoptile. The fleshy fruit bearing bamboos should be classified into one group, the tribeMelocanneae. Evidence is provided to recognise additional groups in the subfamilyBambusoideae.     

Taxonomic status of the species of the green algal genusNeochloris

Komárek has recently reviewed the various species assigned to the green algal genusNeochloris Starr (Chlorococcales, Chlorococcaceae) and removed those with uninucleate vegetative cells to a new genus,Ettlia. Watanabe & Floyd, unaware ofKomárek's work, also reviewed the species ofNeochloris and distributed them among three genera—Neochloris, Chlorococcopsis gen. nov., andParietochloris gen. nov.—on the basis of details of the covering of the zoospore and the arrangement of the basal bodies of the flagellar apparatus. This paper reconciles these two treatments and makes additional recommendations at the ranks of genus, family, order, and class.     

Analysis of twin of eyeless regulation during early embryogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

The Drosophila Pax6 homolog twin of eyeless (toy) is so far the first zygotically expressed gene involved in eye morphogenesis in Drosophila. The study of its expression during embryogenesis is therefore informative of the initial events of eye development in Drosophila. We have analyzed how the initial expression domain of toy at cellular blastoderm is regulated. We show that the three maternal patterning systems active in the cephalic region (the anterior, terminal and dorsal-ventral systems) cooperate with zygotically activated gap genes to shape the initial expression domain of toy. Whereas Bicoid, Dorsal and Torso signaling synergistically act as activators, Hunchback, Knirps and Decapentaplegic act as repressors.     

The effect of cyanobacteria and azolla on the performance of rice under different levels of fertilizer nitrogen

Cyanobacteria and/or azolla were inoculated, with urea at 0, 72 or 144 kg N/ha, in plots in which azolla-free Indica rice var. IR 28 was grown. Productive tillers, yield and nitrogen contents of grain and straw positively responded to inoculation with cyanobacteria or azolla, even with fertilizer-N up to 144 kg N/ha. Inoculation improved colonization by cyanobacteria. Azolla were superior to the asymbiotic cyanobacteria in enhancing rice performance. Urea at a rate of 72 kg N/ha was found to support the best colonizations when applied with cyanobacteria or azolla or, to give maximum rice yields, both inoculants.     

Apoptotic Regulation of Caspase Activity

Intracellular cysteine aspartate-specific proteases (caspases) play both signaling and effector roles in realizing the program of cell death. Caspases function as proteolytic cascades unique for each cell type and signal triggering apoptosis. All parts of the proteolytic cascades are duplicated and controlled by feedback signals. Amplification cycles between pairs of caspases (the third and the sixth, the ninth and the third, the twelfth and the sixth, and others) help multiply the initial apoptotic signal. The presence of physiological inhibitors of apoptosis that directly interact with caspases creates a multilevel regulatory network of apoptosis in cell. The caspase proteolytic cascades are also regulated by sphingolipid secondary messengers, among them ceramide, sphingosine, and their phosphates. Moreover, an association of the caspase signaling with ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis is shown in cells. In particular, the use of extracellular activators and inhibitors of caspases allows irreversible activation of apoptosis in tumor cells or the prevention of apoptosis in cortical neurons under neurodegenerative diseases.

Phylogeny of cardinalfishes (Teleostei: Gobiiformes: Apogonidae) and the evolution of visceral bioluminescence

The cardinalfishes (Apogonidae) are a diverse clade of small, mostly reef-dwelling fishes, for which a variety of morphological data have not yielded a consistent phylogeny. We use DNA sequence to hypothesize phylogenetic relationships within Apogonidae and among apogonids and other acanthomorph families, to examine patterns of evolution including the distribution of a visceral bioluminescence system. In conformance with previous studies, Apogonidae is placed in a clade with Pempheridae, Kurtidae, Leiognathidae, and Gobioidei. The apogonid genus Pseudamia is recovered outside the remainder of the family, not as sister to the superficially similar genus Gymnapogon. Species sampled from the Caribbean and Western Atlantic (Phaeoptyx, Astrapogon, and some Apogon species) form a clade, as do the larger-bodied Glossamia and Cheilodipterus. Incidence of visceral bioluminescence is found scattered throughout the phylogeny, independently for each group in which it is present. Examination of the fine structure of the visceral bioluminescence system through histology shows that light organs exhibit a range of morphologies, with some composed of complex masses of tubules (Siphamia, Pempheris, Parapriacanthus) and others lacking tubules but containing chambers formed by folds of the visceral epithelium (Acropoma, Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia). Light organs in Siphamia, Acropoma, Pempheris and Parapriacanthus are distinct from but connected to the gut; those in Archamia, Jaydia, and Rhabdamia are simply portions of the intestinal tract, and are little differentiated from the surrounding tissues. The presence or absence of symbiotic luminescent bacteria does not correlate with light organ structure; the tubular light organs of Siphamia and chambered tubes of Acropoma house bacteria, those in Pempheridae and the other Apogonidae do not.     

Anti-fungal effects of phenolic amides isolated from the root bark of Lycium chinense

Four phenolic amides, dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine (1), trans-N-feruloyloctopamine (2), trans-N -caffeoyltyramine (3), and cis-N-caffeoyltyramine (4), were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the root bark of Lycium chinense Miller. All had an anti-fungal effect; compounds 1-3 were potent at 5-10 microg ml(-1) and were without hemolytic activity against human erythrocyte cells. Compound 4 was active at 40 microg ml(-1). All four compounds impeded the dimorphic transition of pathogen, Candida albicans.     

Evaluation of antiprotozoal and antimycobacterial activities of the resin glycosides and the other metabolites of Scrophularia cryptophila

Resin glycosides are secondary metabolites exclusive to the convolvulaceous plants. In this study, crypthophilic acids A–C (1–3), the first resin glycosides occurring in another family (Scrophulariaceae), and the other constituents of Scrophularia cryptophila were examined for in vitro antiprotozoal and antimycobacterial potentials. Except for crypthophilic acid B (2), all tested compounds exhibited growth-inhibitory effect against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, with l-tryptophan (6) and buddlejasaponin III (7) being the most potent ones (IC₅₀'s 4.1 and 9.7 μg/ml). In contrast, the activity towards Trypanosoma cruzi was poor, and only crypthophilic acid C (3), 6 and 7 were trypanocidal at concentrations above 40 μg/ml. With the exception of 2 and 6, all compounds were active against Leishmania donovani. Harpagide (4) and 3 emerged as the best leishmanicidal agents (IC₅₀'s 2.0 and 5.8 μg/ml). Only compounds 3, 6 and 7 showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with IC₅₀ values of 4.2, 16.6 and 22.4 μg/ml. Overall the best and broadest spectrum activity was presented by compounds 3 and 7, as they inhibited all four parasitic protozoa. None of the isolates had significant activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MICs >100 μg/ml) or were toxic towards mammalian (L6) cells. This is the first report of antiprotozoal activity for natural resin glycosides, as well as for harpagide (4), acetylharpagide (5), tryptophan (6) and buddlejasaponin III (7).
