脱氧鬼臼毒素对粘虫几种代谢酶系的影响

脱氧鬼臼毒素是砂地柏Sabina vulgaris Ant.中的主要杀虫活性成分之一。为探讨其作用机理,以叶碟饲喂法处理粘虫Mythimna separata Walker 4龄幼虫,测定了饲喂处理12h、24 h、36 h、48 h和72 h后试虫的羧酸酯酶（CarE）、酸性磷酸酯酶(ACP)、碱性磷酸酯酶(AKP)、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GSTs）和多功能氧化酶(MFO)的活性。结果表明：脱氧鬼臼毒素对粘虫羧酸酯酶的活性无明显影响;对酸性磷酸酯酶具有明显的抑制作用,且随着处理时间的延长,抑制作用增强;对碱性磷酸酯酶的影响较为复杂,表现为先抑制,后有所恢复,再被抑制的变化过程;对谷胱甘肽S-转移酶处理12 h后活性变化不明显,24 h后被抑制,36 h后逐渐激活,与对照差异极显著;对细胞色素P450酶系的O-脱甲基酶活性具有明显的抑制作用。     

亚致死剂量阿维菌素对家蚕食物利用及中肠消化酶活性的影响

采用质量法和酶活力测定法研究了阿维菌素3种亚致死剂量（LC₅、LC₁₀和LC₂₀）处理对家蚕5 龄幼虫的食物利用及中肠3种消化酶活性的影响.结果表明：亚致死剂量阿维菌素处理对家蚕5龄幼虫的生长和食物利用有明显的抑制作用,体质量及其增加量、相对生长率均显著低于对照,同时伴随着取食量、相对取食量和排粪量减少,食物利用率和食物转化率显著降低,而近似消化率升高.阿维菌素处理的家蚕,其中肠淀粉酶和蔗糖酶活性前期受到抑制且持续时间较长,但随着幼虫的生长发育,逐渐恢复正常或高于对照;而海藻糖酶活性前期受抑制时间较短,随后活性迅速增强,并维持在与对照同一水平或高于对照.这些变化说明亚致死剂量阿维菌素对家蚕仍有一定的毒性,其程度随剂量的提高而增强,可导致家蚕消化系统紊乱,进而影响其生长发育和对食物的利用.     

脱氧鬼臼毒素对美洲大蠊的毒力及几种酶系的影响

采用药膜法测试了脱氧鬼臼毒素对美洲大蠊Periplaneta americana初孵若虫的触杀活性,并测定了其对成虫中枢神经系统乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）和腺苷三磷酸酶(ATPase)离体活性的影响。结果表明：脱氧鬼臼毒素对美洲大蠊初孵若虫具有较强的毒杀活性,在接触时间24、48、72和96 h 的LC₅₀分别为26.26、4.68、1.51和0.62 μg/cm²;其对AChE没有明显影响; 对Na⁺ -K⁺ -ATPase有明显抑制作用,并存在浓度 效应关系,IC₅₀为44.9 μmol/L; 对Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase表现出低剂量激活,高剂量抑制的现象。结果提示美洲大蠊的AChE不是脱氧鬼臼毒素靶标,而ATPase可能是脱氧鬼臼毒素的重要靶标之一。

亚致死剂量阿维菌素和氟虫睛处理小菜蛾对寄生蜂菜蛾绒茧蜂生长发育的影响

分别在小菜蛾体内的菜蛾绒茧蜂处于卵期、早期幼虫和中期幼虫时,饲喂小菜蛾2龄幼虫亚致死剂量（＝LC₁₀）的阿维菌素和氟虫睛,研究上述杀虫剂处理对寄主体内菜蛾绒茧蜂结茧率和羽化率的影响。结果表明： 在菜蛾绒茧蜂处于卵期、早期幼虫和中期幼虫时,饲喂小菜蛾LC₁₀剂量阿维菌素处理的菜叶后,菜蛾绒茧蜂的结茧率分别下降26.6%,22.8%和5.8%,饲喂小菜蛾LC₁₀剂量氟虫睛处理的菜叶后,菜蛾绒茧蜂的结茧率分别下降76.9%,42.5%和18.5%。上述阿维菌素处理对菜蛾绒茧蜂成虫羽化率影响不显著,但上述氟虫睛处理可显著抑制菜蛾绒茧蜂成虫羽化率,在菜蛾绒茧蜂处于卵期、早期幼虫和中期幼虫时,饲喂小菜蛾LC₁₀ 剂量氟虫睛处理的菜叶可导致菜蛾绒茧蜂成虫羽化率分别下降53.1%,36.1%和47.8%。结果显示,即便是对寄主小菜蛾幼虫很低的剂量（LC₁₀剂量）也会显著危害小菜蛾幼虫体内的菜蛾绒茧蜂的生长发育。此外,饲喂小菜蛾幼虫亚致死剂量杀虫剂对菜蛾绒茧蜂生长发育的影响与杀虫剂种类及蛾绒茧蜂发育阶段有关。     

雷公藤总生物碱对粘虫生长发育及几种代谢酶系的影响

雷公藤生物碱是雷公藤Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f.中的主要杀虫活性物质。为进一步深入了解雷公藤总生物碱的杀虫作用,本研究采用小叶碟添加法测定了雷公藤总生物碱对粘虫Mythimna separate (Walker)5龄幼虫生长发育及几种代谢酶系的影响。结果表明：雷公藤总生物碱对粘虫5龄幼虫生长发育有明显抑制作用,表现为体重、体重增加量和相对生长率显著下降,幼虫龄期延长,幼虫存活率、化蛹率和成虫羽化率显著降低;可显著激活酯酶、羧酸酯酶; 明显抑制酸性磷酸酯酶和碱性磷酸酯酶的活性;对谷胱甘肽S-转移酶表现为先激活后抑制的趋势;细胞色素P450酶系的O-脱甲基酶在处理后3 h活性变化不明显,12和24 h后被激活,36 h后接近同期对照。     

球形芽孢杆菌对致倦库蚊的后致死作用

研究了球形芽孢杆菌Bacillus sphaericus C3-41菌株对致倦库蚊Culex quinquefasciatus幼虫的毒力及其后致死作用。生物测定表明,该菌株对目标蚊幼虫具有很高的毒力,其丙酮粉剂对3～4龄幼虫48 h的半致死浓度(LC₅₀)为(6.92±0.22) μg/L。用不同亚致死浓度处理2～3龄致倦库蚊幼虫,存活幼虫在后期发育中存在明显的延续死亡和损伤现象,经LC₃₀、LC₅₀、LC₇₀、LC₉₀和LC₉₈剂量的C3.41粉剂处理的致倦库蚊羽化前的总死亡率分别为84%、91%、95%、97%和100%,同时存活的幼虫、蛹和成蚊的发育和行为也受到一定的影响。这种后致死作用随处理浓度的升高而增强,可能同球形芽孢杆菌毒素蛋白对处理期间蚊幼虫中肠上皮细胞造成的损伤相关。     

在高CO2浓度下生长的小麦对棉铃虫生长发育和繁殖的影响

通过室内饲养实验研究了在高CO₂浓度（738.8±25.7μL/L）中生长的小麦对棉铃虫 Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)生长发育,繁殖以及营养效应的影响。结果表明： （1）取食高CO₂浓度大气中生长的麦粒的棉铃虫对食料的取食量和粪便排泄量增加,与对照相比,取食量和粪便排泄量分别增加46.3%（P<0.05）和37.8%;（2）大气CO₂浓度增加影响了麦粒中的营养成分的含量,其中,可溶性蛋白、游离氨基酸、葡萄糖和总糖的含量及碳氮比(C∶N)都显著增加,果糖和粗蛋白的含量都显著降低;（3）大气 CO₂浓度升高所导致的麦粒营养成分的变化影响了棉铃虫幼虫的食物利用效率,与对照组相比,棉铃虫幼虫对食物的毛转化率和净转化率分别降低27.2%和25.4%,对食物的相对取食率则显著提高58.8%（P < 00.1）。据此推测,未来高CO₂浓度的大气环境会降低春小麦的营养价值,从而影响棉铃虫的生长发育,加重其对小麦的危害。     

粘虫幼虫密度对幼虫食物利用率的影响

本文对粘虫Mythimna separata(Walker)不同幼虫密度下(1头/瓶、15头/瓶、30头/瓶)5龄至预蛹和6龄至预蛹的幼虫食物取食量、粪便排泄量、近似消化率、体重增长和粗生长效率等进行了研究。结果表明：幼虫的食物取食量、粪便排泄量随幼虫密度的增加而加大,表明群居或幼虫密度的增加可使幼虫的取食量增加从而使为害加重。但是,幼虫的体重增长则随幼虫密度的增加而下降,这是因为近似消化率和粗生长效率也随幼虫密度的增加而下降的缘故。由此认为,食物利用率下降是高密度条件下粘虫个体较小的主要原因之一。但是,些效应均随幼虫密度影响的消失而消失。     

Diet-switching by gypsy moth: effects of diet nitrogen history vs. switching on growth, consumption, and food utilization

Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)) larvae were reared from hatch on 1.25% N or 3.5% N artificial diet (previous diet) and switched reciprocally to the other diet (current diet) after molting into the second, third, fourth, or fifth instar. The nitrogen concentration of food consumed during previous instars had a strong residual effect on the growth rate in subsequent instars when a diet switch was made during instars two through four, but did not affect growth rate of fifth-instar larvae despite effects on food consumption and utilization. In early instars, larvae reared on 1.25% N artificial diet and then switched to 3.75% N diet had lower mass-adjusted growth rates than larvae continuously reared on 3.75% N diet. Conversely, larvae reared on 3.75% N diet and switched to 1.25% N had higher mass-adjusted growth rates than larvae reared continuously on 1.25% N diet. Relative to larvae previously reared on 1.25% N diet, fifth-instar male larvae previously reared on 3.75% N diet had slightly lower consumption rates, higher net growth efficiency (ECD), and higher gross growth efficiency (ECI). Larvae previously reared on 3.75% N diet tended to have lower food assimilation efficiency (AD) and lower nitrogen assimilation efficiency (AD(N)). Although both previous and current diet nitrogen concentration strongly affected larval growth and food utilization, the interaction term between these was not significant for any response variables except ECD and ECI. Because the interaction term reflects the effect of switching per se, the results indicate that there was a metabolic cost associated with switching, but no inherent net cost or benefit of diet-switching to growth.     

Parasitism-induced effects on host growth and metabolic efficiency in Plutella xylostella larvae parasitized by Cotesia vestalis or Diadegma semiclausum

The nutritional physiology of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, larvae was examined after parasitization by the solitary endoparasitoids Cotesia vestalis or Diadegma semiclausum. Examinations were performed in two phases, one was examined at the time point of 24 h post‐parasitization, and the other was done at the end of the 4th instar larvae of host. Rates of growth, food consumption, assimilation, excretion, and respiration were calculated as well as approximate digestibility and the rate ratios ECI (percent efficiency of conversion of ingested food to body substance), and ECD (percent efficiency of conversion of digested food to body substance). Parasitization by C. vestalis resulted in significant decrease in the rates of growth, feeding, excretion, assimilation, and respiration, but the final dry rate of respiration at the end of last larval stadium was elevated. The ECI and ECD were also reduced as the result of parasitization, but digestibility was increased. All these parameters in the larvae parasitized by D. semiclausum at 24 h post‐parasitization were also significantly changed compared to the control; however, these differences were quantitatively, but not qualitatively before pupation, similar to those resulted from parasitization by C. vestalis. In spite of the similarities of the parasitism‐induced effects caused by these endoparasitoids, the final metabolic rate, that is, the rate of intake of nutrients required to compensate for metabolism, was much lower in the larvae parasitized by C. vestalis than that of the larvae parasitized by D. semiclausum. All of the results discussed here will contribute toward explaining the different ways these two wasps regulate the parasitoid‐host relationship.     

二种改进人工饲料对红脉穗螟生长发育和繁殖的影响

在温度(29±1)℃和相对湿度75%±5%条件下,研究了2种改进人工饲料和天然饲料椰子幼果对红脉穗螟Tirathaba rufivena Walker生长发育、繁殖力和营养的影响。结果表明:与天然饲料相比,用改进人工饲料饲养的红脉穗螟幼虫生长发育速度、幼虫存活率、蛹重及产卵量均提高;幼虫相对生长率(RGR)、食物利用率(ECI)及食物转化率(ECD)均显著提高,而相对取食量(RCR)则显著降低。表明红脉穗螟幼虫对2种人工饲料有很好的适应性,可用于大量饲养。     

Entomopathogenic fungi disturbed the larval growth and feeding performance of Ocinara varians (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) larvae

Abstract Feeding experiments using three strains of entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Isaria fumosorosea were conducted with newly moulted 3rd–5th instar Ocinara varians Walker larvae in the laboratory. The mortality of larvae immersed individually in spore suspension (1 × 10⁷ spores/mL) of all the strains was ≥ 80% except 5th instar larvae treated with M. anisopliae which transformed into pupae, but did not result in adult emergence. The growth (total body mass), consumption, relative consumption rate and relative growth rate, were reduced at all three larval stages, while developmental time was extended in infected larvae with concurrent significant increase in approximate digestibility in infected larvae. Conversion of digested food (ECD) and ingested food (ECI) values declined in infected larvae as compared to the healthy larvae (control). The 5th instar larvae treated with M. anisopliae showed higher ECD and ECI values than control. Based on mortality and growth inhibition it can be suggested that all the studied fungal strains have a high potential for biocontrol and could be developed into biocontrol agents against O. varians.     

Coevolution of the checkerspot butterfly Euphydryas chalcedona and its larval food plant Diplacus aurantiacus: larval response to protein and leaf resin

Summary Prediapause larvae of the checkerspot butterfly Euphydryas chalcedona were raised from hatch until entrance into diapause on artificial diets. The proportions of protein and host plant leaf resin differed among the diets. Larval size growth rates and mortality were monitored and overall rates and efficiencies of food use were computed.Larval survivorship, growth rate and size of larvae at idapause were significantly enhanced by increasing dietary protein content, particularly over the range found in leaves of the host plant. In contrast, an increasing dietary content of Diplacus aurantiacus leaf resin significantly depressed larval surviviorship, growth rates and size of larvae at diapause. A simple dosedependent interaction was observed between the effects of dietary leaf resin and protein on larval success. Dietary content of leaf resin and protein significantly influenced some measures of food utilization efficiency (ECI and ECD), but not others (AD and NUE).The negative interaction between the effects of dietary leaf resin and protein content suggests the leaf resin phenolic compounds reduce the availability of protein to the larvae. The results for efficiency indices of larval food use are potentially in conflict with this interpretation.The influence of host plant leaf resin and protein on larval success, coupled with the relation between photosynthesis and leaf nitrogen content, are consistent with the hypothesis that productivity can be enhanced by herbivore deterrence resulting from leaf resin production.     

粘虫高龄幼虫对转Bt基因玉米的消化和利用

在室内用重量法研究了粘虫Mythimna separata (Walker)高龄幼虫对转Bt基因玉米MON810和Bt11叶片的消化和利用,以明确Bt玉米对暴食期幼虫取食的影响。结果表明,在连续测定的5天中,取食MON810和Bt11两种Bt玉米叶片时,幼虫存活率和取食量均显著低于各自的对照组幼虫,取食Bt玉米叶片的幼虫体重呈下降趋势,第3 天时分别比第2 天减少12.2 mg 和7.4 mg,而取食对照玉米叶片时的幼虫日增重显著的高于处理组的幼虫,第3 天的日增重分别为100.4 mg 和119.9 mg。取食Bt玉米叶片的幼虫对食物的转化率(ECI和ECD)均为负值,在最初4 天的ECI和ECD都显著低于对照组幼虫,但取食两种非Bt玉米叶片的幼虫的近似消化率(AD) 随取食时间的延长而逐渐下降,取食第5 天分别为20.6 %和15.1 %;而取食MON810和Bt11叶片时幼虫的AD均显著地高于对照组幼虫。     

Influence of whorl region from resistant and susceptible corn genotypes on fall armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) growth and development

The effect of diets prepared from whorl tissue of resistant and susceptible corn genotypes, Zea mays L., on the larval growth, development, and physiology of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), was analyzed. Larvae reared on an optimized artificial diet had a higher growth rate and developed faster than those reared on lyophilized whorl tissue from resistant and susceptible genotypes. Larvae reared on the resistant material were smaller and had a longer developmental period. Larvae reared on yellow-green and green whorl sections from resistant plants were significantly smaller than those reared on the same sections of susceptible plants. There was no significant difference in weight when larvae were reared on the yellow whorl regions from either resistant or susceptible lines. Physiological indices were determined for larvae fed resistant and susceptible lyophilized and fresh whorl material. Larvae fed resistant lyophilized material had significantly lower growth rate (GW) and efficiency of conversion of ingested food to body substance (ECI) than those reared on artificial diet or susceptible material. However, there were no significant differences in consumption index (CI), approximate digestibility (AD) and efficiency of conversion of digested food to body substance (ECD) between larvae reared on lyophilized tissue from resistant and susceptible genotypes. Larvae reared on fresh yellow-green whorl sections from resistant plants had significantly lower GW, ECI, and ECD than those reared on susceptible material. In contrast, no significant differences in any of the estimated food consumption and utilization indices were observed between larvae reared on fresh yellow whorl sections from resistant or susceptible plants. These results suggest that some components of whorls from resistant plants, especially the yellow-green region, inhibit food utilization in fall armyworm larvae.     

Using nutritional indices to study LOX3-dependent insect resistance

Induced resistance to biotic attackers is thought to be mediated by responses elicited by jasmonic acid (JA), a subset of which are lipoxygenase 3 (LOX3) dependent. To understand the importance of LOX3-mediated insect resistance, we analysed the performance of Manduca sexta larvae on wild-type (WT) and on isogenic Nicotiana attenuata plants silenced in NaLOX3 expression and JA signalling, and we used Waldbauer nutritional indices to measure the pre- and post-ingestive effects. LOX3-mediated defenses reduced larval growth, consumption and frass production. These defenses reduced how efficiently late-instar larvae converted digested food to body mass (ECD). In contrast, LOX3-mediated defenses decreased approximate digestibility (AD) in early instar larvae without affecting the ECD and total food consumption. Larvae of all instars feeding on defended WT plants behaviourally compensate for their reduced body mass by consuming more food per unit of body mass gain. We suggest that larvae feeding on plants silenced in NaLOX3 expression (as-lox) initially increase their AD, which in turn enables them to consume more food in the later stages and consequently, to increase their ECD and efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI). We conclude that N. attenuata's oxylipin-mediated defenses are important for resisting attack from M. sexta larvae, and that Waldbauer nutritional assays reveal behavioural and physiological counter responses of insects to these plant defenses.     

美洲黑杨不同无性系对分月扇舟蛾幼虫生长和食物利用的影响

本文研究了不同的美洲黑杨无性系对分月扇舟蛾Clostera anastomosis L.幼虫生长的影响。结果表明,抗性水平不同的无性系影响分月扇舟蛾幼虫体重、相对生长率、食物利用率和转化率。抗性较强的89-3号无性系对幼虫的生长有抑制作用,幼虫取食后,其食物利用率和转化率在第2天有显著下降,但随后表现不明显;而感性较强的74-4号无性系有一定的促进作用,幼虫取食后,其食物利用率和转化率都显著提高。
