【目的】产卵是昆虫发育过程中繁衍后代、维持种群数量的重要环节。在前期研究发现日本刀角瓢虫Serangium japonicum喜欢在茄子Solanum melongena叶片上产卵的前提下,本研究旨在深入探究日本刀角瓢虫对不同叶毛密度茄子品种的产卵选择性,以期进一步明确植物叶毛介导的日本刀角瓢虫产卵选择机制。【方法】观察日本刀角瓢虫雌成虫在4个茄子品种(黑到底、黑妞、日友长直壮、络星)叶碟和植株上的产卵选择性,测定不同茄子品种上日本刀角瓢虫后代的生长发育及成虫的繁殖力、捕食能力和对叶片的附着力,观察4个茄子品种叶片背面超微结构,测定日本刀角瓢虫雌成虫对茄子叶片的气味选择,测量茄子叶片上烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci卵粒的长度和宽度,测定日本刀角瓢虫卵被其雌成虫的同类捕食风险。【结果】日本刀角瓢虫偏好在黑到底上产卵,后代个体在黑到底品种上总发育历期(15.41±0.21 d)最短,亲代单雌产卵量(877.44±15.27粒/头)最高。但是,日本刀角瓢虫的产卵量占比与子代生长表现(发育历期、存活率和成虫体重)和成虫生存表现(繁殖力和捕食能力)均无显著相关性,而与叶片背面叶毛密度和长度存在显著正相关性;日本刀角瓢虫在茄子叶碟上的产卵量占比与日本刀角瓢虫雌成虫附着力存在显著正相关性。日本刀角瓢虫雌成虫附着力与叶毛密度显著正相关,而与亲代生长表现无显著相关关系。茄子叶片气味、猎物质量以及被同类捕食风险均不显著影响日本刀角瓢虫的产卵选择。【结论】茄子叶片背面叶毛密度及叶毛介导的日本刀角瓢虫附着力在日本刀角瓢虫对茄子叶片的产卵选择性中起重要作用。     

二斑叶螨田间种群对阿维菌素的抗性及抗性相关基因表达分析

【目的】二斑叶螨Tetranychus urticae Koch是为害多种农作物的世界性重大害螨。本研究旨在明确二斑叶螨不同田间种群对阿维菌素的抗药性、抗性相关基因的突变频率及其表达量变化。【方法】采用药管浸叶法测定了我国二斑叶螨8个地理种群对阿维菌素的抗药性并检测其抗性基因突变频率,结合荧光定量PCR技术分析了高抗种群中抗性相关基因表达量变化。【结果】测试的二斑叶螨8个田间种群均对阿维菌素具有抗药性。北京密云、山东潍坊、海南三亚和湖南长沙种群均对阿维菌素产生了极高水平的抗性,抗性倍数分别为1 526.75,481.00,315.25和160.75倍,而北京通县、北京海淀、山西运城和山东泰安种群对阿维菌素的抗性倍数达54.38~136.38倍,处于高抗性水平。二斑叶螨对阿维菌素抗性相关的谷氨酸氯离子通道基因Glu Cl的突变频率在各个田间种群中存在差异。北京密云种群中Glu Cl的突变频率最高(91.7%),其次是山东潍坊(66.7%)和海南三亚(63.3%)种群;山西运城种群最低(13.3%),且点突变频率与抗性倍数之间呈显著的正相关(P0.05)。与相对敏感种群相比,高抗性二斑叶螨种群中Glu Cl和γ-氨基丁酸受体基因GABAR表达量显著下降。【结论】二斑叶螨田间种群普遍对阿维菌素产生了高水平抗性,抗性相关基因Glu Cl的点突变及其表达量的降低可能与田间抗药性产生相关;田间防治二斑叶螨应避免使用阿维菌素。

西安市常见绿化植物叶片润湿性能及其影响因素

利用接触角测定仪测定了西安市21种常见绿化植物叶片表面的接触角,探讨了叶片表面特性如蜡质、绒毛、气孔对接触角的影响。结果表明,植物叶片正背面、物种间的接触角差异均显著,叶片正面和背面接触角大小在40°～140°。接触角大小与变异系数呈负相关,可能由于接触角小的润湿叶片在不同的生境和位置下,受到环境条件的影响较大而出现大的变异;接触角较大的非润湿性叶片,环境物质持留时间较短,对叶片形态和组成影响较小,因而出现小的变异。植物叶片表面的接触角随蜡质含量的升高而增大。表皮蜡质去除后大部分叶片接触角明显降低,尤其是疏水性较强的银杏(Ginkgo biloba)、月季(Ro-sa chinensis)和紫叶小檗(Berberis thunbergii)。女贞(Ligustrum lucidum)正背面、加杨(Popu-lus canadensis)背面等亲水型的叶片蜡质去除后接触角反而增大。叶片绒毛的多少及其形态、分布方式对接触角具有重要的影响,不同的作用方式表现出润湿和不润湿的特征,人为将其去除可以增加叶片的润湿性。背面气孔密度与气孔长度、保卫细胞长度呈负相关;接触角则与气孔密度呈负相关,与气孔长度呈正相关。

玉米田截形叶螨种群动态的研究

1999～2001年于内蒙古巴彦卓尔盟杭锦后旗研究了玉米田截形叶螨田间种群动态。结果表明．截形叶螨在玉米田的空间格局为聚集格局,随着叶螨种群密度的上升,其聚集强度下降应用最优分割法将玉米截形叶螨田间种群动态划分为5个阶段：①7月上旬前为种群初建期,叶螨在玉米田刚开始发生,种群数量很低,只分布在极少数植株上;②7月中旬为种群缓慢增长期,种群数量低,增长缓慢,聚集强度高;③从7月下旬至8月中旬为种群快速增长期,种群数量高,增长迅速,叶螨分布至全田,聚集强度下降;④8月下旬为种群高峰期,种群数量最高,聚集强度较低;⑤9月以后为玉米截形叶螨种群的衰落期,由于玉米受害严重及玉米进入生长后期,中下部叶片大部分均已枯死,上部叶片也已老化营养水平下降,加之气温下降,叶螨种群数量迅速下降。     

Leaf pubescence mediates intraguild predation between predatory mites

Plant morphological traits such as leaf pubescence may affect herbivores and their natural enemies at the individual, population and community levels. Leaf pubescence has been repeatedly shown to mediate predator‐herbivore interactions whereas the influence of leaf pubescence on predator–predator interactions such as intraguild predation (IGP) has seldom been investigated. Using a three‐pronged approach we assessed the influence of leaf pubescence on the predatory mites Kampimodromus aberrans and Euseius finlandicus. Both predators occur on broad‐leaved trees in Europe. Euseius finlandicus is mostly found on trees with glabrous leaves whereas K. aberrans mainly occurs on trees with pubescent leaves. We hypothesized that leaf pubescence mediates IGP between K. aberrans and E. finlandicus and thereby determines their dominance and proportional abundance. A field survey on apple revealed that the abundance of K. aberrans and E. finlandicus is negatively correlated, with the former predominating on cultivars with strongly pubescent leaves and the latter predominating on cultivars with little pubescent or glabrous leaves. Microhabitat choice tests showed that K. aberrans preferentially resides on pubescent leaves whereas E. finlandicus preferentially resides on glabrous leaves. The effects of leaf pubescence on survival and development of immature IG predators and IG prey were reversed for K. aberrans and E. finlandicus. In the presence of the IG predator E. finlandicus, immature K. aberrans had higher survival probabilities on pubescent leaves than on glabrous ones. In contrast, the survival chances of immature E. finlandicus were higher on glabrous leaves than on pubescent ones when the IG predator K. aberrans was present. Artificial leaf pubescence enhanced IG prey capture by immature K. aberrans and prolonged their longevity but impaired IG prey capture by immature E. finlandicus and shortened their longevity. We conclude that leaf pubescence mediates IGP strength and symmetry and discuss the implications to natural and biological control.     

Effects of leaf pubescence in Salix borealis on host- plant choice and feeding behaviour of the leaf beetle, Melasoma lapponica

Density of leaf trichomes in Salix borealis affected both the choice of individual host plants and feeding behaviour of adults and last instar larvae of the willow feeding leaf beetle, Melasoma lapponica. Beetles clearly preferred shaved disks to unshaved ones taken from the same leaf; this preference was highest in leaves of the most pubescent plants. High leaf pubescence explained the low preference for willow clones from the high density site in among-site preference trials; shaving significantly increased the consumption of these pubescent willow clones. In no-choice experiments, the food consumption by both adults and last instar larvae decreased with an increase in leaf pubescence. The time budget of adults did not depend on leaf pubescence of the host plants, however adults compelled to feed on highly pubescent plants changed their feeding sites twice as often as on less pubescent willow clones. Larvae feeding on highly pubescent plants spend moving three times as much time as larvae feeding on less pubescent plants. Combined with our earlier observations on the increase in leaf pubescence in the year(s) following defoliation, these data suggest that leaf hairiness may have contributed to the delayed induced resistance in S. borealis by disturbing the feeding behaviour of M. lapponica.     

Soybean leaf pubescence affects aphid vector transmission and field spread of soybean mosaic virus

A study was undertaken to determine the influence of trichome density on the spread of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses by aphid vectors. A system using soybean plants and soybean mosaic virus (SMV) tested the hypothesis that greater leaf trichome density inhibits probing activity of vector species, leading to reduced virus spread and retarded virus epidemics under field conditions. Probing activity of three important aphid vectors of SMV, Myzus persicae, Rhopalosiphum maidis, and Aphis citricola, was affected by the density of soybean leaf trichomes. Less pubescent and glabrous isolines elicited greater probing activity than did densely pubescent isolines. Among the parameters considered, probe duration was found to be species specific, whereas the following traits were consistent among species for the denser isolines: reduced numbers of probes, greater length of time to first probe, and less time spent probing. Laboratory transmission of soybean mosaic virus was reduced in the more densely pubescent isolines by the vector species tested. Field spread of SMV was negatively correlated with density of pubescence. In our system, we found that denser leaf pubescence retards field epidemics of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses.     

Leaf hairs: Effects on physiological activity and adaptive value to a desert shrub

Summary The effects of leaf hairs on photosynthesis, transpiration, and leaf energy balance were measured on the desert shrub Encelia farinosa in order to determine the adaptive significance of the hairs. The pubescence reduces leaf absorptance resulting in a reduced heat load, and as a consequence lower leaf temperatures and lower transpiration rates. In its native habitat where air temperatures often exceed 40° C, the optimum temperature for photosynthesis in E. farinosa occurs at 25° C, and at leaf temperatures above 35° C net photosynthesis declines precipitously. An advantage of leaf pubescence is that it allows a leaf temperature much lower than air temperature. As a result, leaf temperatures are near the temperature optimum for photosynthesis and high, potentially lethal leaf temperatures are avoided. However, there is a disadvantage associated with leaf pubescence. By reflecting quanta that might otherwise be used in photosynthesis, the presence of leaf hairs reduces the rate of photosynthesis. A tradeoff model was used to assess the overall advantage of possessing leaf hairs. In terms of the carbon gaining capacity of the leaf, the model predicted that for different environmental conditions different levels of leaf pubescence were optimal. In other words, under aird conditions and/or high air temperatures, leaves of E. farinosa would have a higher rate of photosynthesis by being pubescent than by not being pubescent. The predictions from this model agreed closely with observed patterns of leaf pubescence in the field.C.I.W.-D.P.B. Publication No. 613     

Contrasting Structure and Function of Pubescent and Glabrous Varieties of Hawaiian Metrosideros polymorpha (Myrtaceae) at High Elevation

Hawaiian dominant tree species Metrosideros polymorpha varieties glaberrima and polymorpha have glabrous and pubescent leaves, respectively. Sympatric populations at 2040 m elevation showed major differentiation beyond the pubescence itself. The varieties differed substantially in stomatal traits and in leaf composition, leaf water status, and instantaneous gas exchange rates, despite similarity in leaf and wood cross-sectional anatomy. Functional differentiation among varieties represents a possible mechanism facilitating the occupation of an exceptional ecological range.     

Pubescence and leaf spectral characteristics in a desert shrub,Encelia farinosa

Summary The effects of leaf hairs (pubescence) on leaf spectral characteristics were measured for the drought-deciduous desert shrub Encelia farinosa. Leaf absorptance to solar radiation is diminished by the presence of pubescence. The pubescence appears to be reflective only after the hairs have dried out. There are seasonal changes in leaf absorptance; leaves produced at the beginning of a growing season have high absorptances, whereas leaves produced during the growing season are more pubescent and have lower absorptances. The decrease in leaf absorptance is the result of an increase in pubescence density and thickness. Between 400 and 700 nm (visible wavelengths), pubescence serves as a blanket reflector. However, over the entire solar spectrum (400–3000 nm), the pubescence preferentially reflects near infrared radiation (700–3000 nm) over photosynthetically useful solar radiation (400–700 nm). Leaf absorptance to solar radiation (400–3000 nm) varies between 46 and 16%, depending on pubescence; whereas leaf absorptance to photosynthetically useful radiation (400–700 nm) may vary from 81 to 29%.C.I.W.-D.P.B.

Mapping quantitative trait loci associated with leaf and stem pubescence in cotton

Leaf pubescence in cotton have a potential for insect pest management. Varying degrees of leaf trichome density in Gossypium species and cultivars have been associated to a series of five genes, referred to as t(1)-t(5). We used two segregating interspecific G. hirsutum x G. barbadense backcross populations developed in our laboratory to assess qualitatively and quantitatively leaf and stem pubescence. QTL analyses were performed using simple and composite interval mapping. Based on both types of measurements and under both types of QTL analyses, nine QTLs met permutation-based thresholds. The nine QTLs mapped to four different chromosome regions. Highest LOD values corresponded to the QTLs detected on c6 (four colocalized QTLs) and on D03 (two QTLs) for which the higher pubescence in the progeny derived from the pubescent G. hirsutum parent alleles. Conversely, on c17 (one QTL) and A01 (two QTLs), the G. hirsutum parental alleles affected negatively pubescence. These results combined with another published study confirm (1) the location in a center region of chromosome 6 of the t(1) locus as a major locus/gene determining leaf pubescence, and (2) additional genes located on seven additional chromosomes have been shown to impart trichome density either positively or negatively. The existence of a high density of PCR-based loci in most of the regions identified as harboring leaf pubescence QTLs, particularly that on chromosome 6, will facilitate future efforts for map-based cloning.     

The effects of foliar pubescence and nutrient enrichment on arthropod communities of Metrosideros polymorpha (Myrtaceae)

Abstract.  1. Nutrient resource availability and host-plant foliar pubescence both influence arthropod food webs, but multifactor studies are needed to understand their interdependence and relative importance. Arthropods were sampled by clipping foliage from Metrosideros polymorpha (Myrtaceae) trees of pubescent, glabrous, and intermediate leaf forms on fertilised and unfertilised plots.
2. Fertilisation decreased leaf mass per area (LMA) but did not change the relative mass of pubescence within leaf morphological classes.
3. Fertilisation increased densities of individuals in four taxonomic orders, densities of individuals and species of all trophic levels, and the biomass of Collembola and Homoptera. Herbivore relative diversity (Shannon H ') also increased with fertilisation, but detritivore diversity declined due to increasing dominance of Salina celebensis (Schaeffer) (Collembola).
4. Detritivore density, driven again by S. celebensis , increased with decreasing leaf pubescence, but Heteroptera and Acari were most abundant on the intermediate pubescence class, and Psocoptera density and biomass increased with increasing pubescence. Trophic-level species density did not change with leaf morphological class, but relative diversity of all arthropods and of detritivores increased with increasing pubescence.
5. Both resource availability and leaf pubescence affected Metrosideros arthropod communities. However, the pervasive positive influence of fertilisation did not translate to compositional shifts, and there were no interactions with leaf morphological class. In contrast, the effects of leaf pubescence on arthropod density, biomass, and diversity were more restricted taxonomically, and non-parametric manova and redundancy analyses demonstrated significant differentiation in community composition on the pubescent morphology.
