枸杞瘿螨Aceri macrodonis Keifer虫瘿及若螨

<正>枸杞瘿螨隶属于蜱螨目(Acarina)瘿螨科(Eriophyidae),是危害枸杞的重要害虫,主要取食叶片、花蕾等,在叶面形成虫瘿、造成落叶或不能正常开花结果,严重影响树木生长和枸杞产量。枸杞瘿螨在我国宁夏、内蒙古、甘肃、青海、新疆、陕西、山西等地均有分布,以成螨在树皮缝和芽缝内越冬,春季出蛰后钻入叶片内取食、形成虫瘿并在其中产卵;若螨在虫瘿内危害,虫瘿从初期的绿色逐渐变为褐色或黑痣状,影响叶片光合作用。     

枸杞木虱Poratrioza sinica Yang etLi成虫

异色瓢虫Harmonia axyridis(Pallas)是枸杞木虱的优势天敌种类之一,为了明确不同龄期异色瓢虫对枸杞木虱4种虫态的捕食作用及田间控害效果,本文利用HollingⅡ型功能反应模型进行拟合以明确其捕食潜能,同时根据其捕食潜能的测算结果,在田间通过罩笼试验探究异色瓢虫4龄幼虫与成虫对枸杞木虱的捕食效果。结果表明:各龄期异色瓢虫幼虫对枸杞木虱4种虫态的捕食量存在显著差异,在枸杞木虱密度相同的条件下,异色瓢虫4龄幼虫的日捕食量最大,为92.9头;不同龄期异色瓢虫对枸杞木虱的捕食功能反应均符合HollingⅡ型方程,当枸杞木虱密度趋于无限大时,异色瓢虫4龄幼虫对枸杞木虱最大捕食量最大为411.5头;成虫对枸杞木虱的瞬间攻击率最大,为0.7931;4龄幼虫对枸杞木虱的处理时间最短为0.0051 d。田间释放异色瓢虫4龄幼虫与成虫的试验证明,处理植株上枸杞木虱虫口减退率,4龄幼虫为43.32%,成虫为14.78%;而对照组即周围8株植株上枸杞木虱虫口减退率,4龄幼虫为14.78%,成虫为16.22%;在异色瓢虫4龄幼虫释放区,处理植株上枸杞木虱虫口减退率为43.32%显著高于其周围8株植株的14.78%;而在成虫释放区,处理植株上枸杞木虱下降率为14.78%,对照组植株的虫口减退率为16.22%,没有显著差异。研究表明,异色瓢虫田间释放需根据枸杞木虱防治范围与力度的需求,选择适宜的异色瓢虫虫态进行枸杞木虱的生物防治。     

枸杞瘿螨姬小蜂的生物学特性

枸杞瘿螨姬小蜂Cirrospilus eniophyesiYang(新种)是枸杞瘿螨Aceria pallidaKeifer的重要天敌,以幼虫在虫瘿内取食枸杞瘿螨的成虫和若虫。在(25±1)℃下,该蜂完成1个世代需16~21d。成虫寿命及产卵量与补充营养有关,取食10%蜂蜜水的雌虫寿命为(6.94±0.67)d,雄虫为(5.14±0.49)d。不进行补充营养的雌雄成虫寿命分别为(1.96±0.27)d和(1.06±0.29)d;补充10%蜂蜜水和水可显著提高产卵量,每雌平均产卵量分别为(29.13±6.12)粒和(23.14±3.16)粒,产卵高峰期在羽化后的第2天。成虫羽化时间多集中在6:00~8:00am和4:00~6:00pm,羽化当天即可交尾。枸杞瘿螨姬小蜂自然种群消长与寄主虫口密度相关,在6月底7月初寄生率达到83.3%。     

巴氏新小绥螨对同一栖息地枸杞瘿螨的捕食功能反应

枸杞瘿螨Aceria pallida Keifer（Acari: Eriophyoidae）是枸杞上为害最严重的有害生物之一。近期在内蒙古地区发现植绥螨巴氏新小绥螨Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes（Acari: Phytoseiidae）与枸杞瘿螨可同时发生在野生枸杞上。为评价巴氏新小绥螨对枸杞瘿螨的捕食潜力,本研究在室内25±1℃、RH 65%±10%、16 L∶8 D的条件下,研究了巴氏新小绥螨对不同密度枸杞瘿螨成螨（30、50、70、90、110、130、150、170头）的捕食功能反应及搜寻效应。结果表明,巴氏新小绥螨的雌、雄成螨对枸杞瘿螨成螨的捕食功能反应均为Holling-II型,即巴氏新小绥螨雌、雄成螨的捕食量随着猎物密度的增加而增加,一直到猎物密度较高时趋于稳定;而巴氏新小绥螨雌、雄成螨的搜寻效应随着猎物密度的增加而降低。巴氏新小绥螨雌成螨对相同密度下的枸杞瘿螨成螨的捕食量均高于雄成螨,而且雌成螨的搜寻效应也强于雄成螨。巴氏新小绥螨雌成螨的攻击率（α=4.4121）高于雄成螨（α=2.4403）,而雌成螨的处理时间（Th =0.0094 d）短于雄成螨（Th=0.0196 d）;雌、雄成螨的理论最大日捕食量（T/Th）分别为106.61头和51.02头。研究结果显示巴氏新小绥螨对枸杞瘿螨有较好的捕食潜力,性别对巴氏新小绥螨捕食枸杞瘿螨的功能反应有显著影响。     

外源茉莉酸及枸杞瘿螨危害诱导的枸杞防御反应

利用植物的诱导抗性防治病虫害越来越受重视, 为寻求枸杞害虫防治的新方法, 探索外源茉莉酸对枸杞的诱导反应及机制, 本研究测定了外源茉莉酸(jasmonic acid, JA)及枸杞瘿螨Aceria pallida Keifer危害对枸杞叶蛋白酶抑制剂(protease inhibitors, PIs)、 超氧化物歧化酶（superoxide dismutase, SOD）、 苯丙氨酸解氨酶（phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, PAL）活性及多糖（polysaccharide）、 木质素（xylogen）含量的变化。结果表明： 外源JA处理或枸杞瘿螨危害均使枸杞叶PIs, SOD和PAL活性及木质素含量显著提高, 却使多糖含量显著降低。胰凝乳蛋白酶抑制剂（chymotrypsin inhibitors, CI)和胰蛋白酶抑制剂(trypsin inhibitor, TI)在喷洒JA或枸杞瘿螨危害的第5 天增幅最大, 且在JA浓度、 瘿螨危害间差异显著(P<0.05), 其中, 0.1 mmol/L JA处理使CI增加了96%, TI增加了128%, 枸杞瘿螨危害使CI增加了94%, TI增加了122%。枸杞叶多糖含量在JA处理或瘿螨危害后显著降低(P<0.05), 且与JA浓度有关, 浓度越高, 降低越明显。 JA或瘿螨危害使枸杞叶木质素增加的最大值出现在处理后的第5 天, 高浓度JA、 瘿螨危害及低浓度JA分别使其增加了70%, 41%和36%, 三者之间差异显著(P<0.05), 第10 天增加幅度减低。 3种处理同样使SOD和PAL活性显著增加(P<0.05), 第5天时增幅最大, 高浓度JA 处理使枸杞叶SOD活性由对照的70.77 U增加到128.98 U, PAL活性由10.91 U增加到20.59 U, 第10天时呈现下降趋势。这些与抗性有关物质的变化及其变化趋势, 说明外源茉莉酸及枸杞瘿螨均可诱导枸杞产生防御反应, 而且反应的程度与茉莉酸浓度及处理后的时间有关。     

枸杞木虱啮小蜂繁殖生物学研究

枸杞木虱啮小蜂Tamarixa lyciumiYang是枸杞木虱Paratrioza sinica Yang&Li若虫期的重要寄生性天敌。在实验室对其繁殖生物学特性进行了研究,结果如下:枸杞木虱啮小蜂大多进行两性生殖,孤雌生殖后代均为雄性,其自然性比为1.80:1。在15～35℃间,随温度升高,枸杞木虱啮小蜂发育历期缩短;从卵发育到成虫时需要8.22℃以上的有效积温217.21日·度。枸杞木虱啮小蜂在25℃恒温条件下繁殖力最高,35℃最低,寿命随温度的升高而缩短。在不同营养条件下,喂食20%蜂蜜的条件最适宜其繁殖,其次为20%蔗糖溶液,补充清水只可延长其寿命而不能提高繁殖力。5℃冷藏枸杞木虱啮小蜂蛹15d以内,不影响其正常羽化,冷藏20d或20d以上,羽化率显著降低;冷藏30d内对羽化后雌雄蜂寿命无明显影响,且从冷藏蛹中羽化的雌蜂寄生能力未受显著影响。     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.

     

Identification and Characterization of the First Equine Parainfluenza Virus 5
