Insecticidal and synergistic effects of Majorana hortensis essential oil and some of its major constituents

The essential oil from leaves of Majorana hortensis Moench (Lamiaceae) was isolated by hydrodistillation with a yield of 1.6% (wt/wt). The insecticidal activity of the oil was evaluated against fourth instars of Spodoptera littoralis Boisduval (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and adults of Aphis fabae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae). The oil showed a remarkable toxic effect against S. littoralis in a topical application assay (LD₅₀ = 2.48 μg per larva) and in a residual film assay (LC₅₀ = 3.14 g/l). The oil of M. hortensis also exhibited a pronounced toxic effect against A. fabae adults with LC₅₀ values of 1.86 and 2.27 g/l in rapid dipping and residual film assays, respectively. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses of M. hortensis essential oils revealed the presence of 31 compounds and the main components were terpinen-4-ol (30.0%), γ-terpinene (11.3%), and trans -sabinene hydrate (10.8%). Repeated column chromatography of M. hortensis oil on silica gel led to the isolation of two major constituents, which were characterized based on ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometric data, as terpinen-4-ol and γ-terpinene. These two components were examined for their insecticidal and synergistic activities towards S. littoralis and A. fabae . Terpinen-4-ol and γ-terpinene exhibited a significant insecticidal activity against both insects, but γ-terpinene was more toxic than terpinen-4-ol. When tested in a binary mixture with the synthetic insecticides profenofos and methomyl, it was found that both compounds enhanced the insecticidal activity of these insecticides by two- to threefold. These results show that terpinen-4-ol and γ-terpinene have a synergistic effect on the insecticidal activities of synthetic insecticides profenofos and methomyl.     

The ecological differentiation of asexual lineages of cotton aphids: alate behaviour, sensory physiology, and differential host associations

The cotton aphid ( Aphis gossypii Glover) is a cosmopolitan pest species consisting of various host plant-associated lineages that appear to have different patterns of insecticide resistance, electrophoretic banding, and reproductive output across alternative host species. Debate continues as to whether these differences represent intraspecific variation or indicate a complex of cryptic or sibling species. We studied the host plant-related ecology of two asexual lineages of A. gossypii associated with the families Malvaceae and Cucurbitaceae, respectively, in particular the host plant finding and acceptance processes of the alate forms. The two lineages proved to be differentiated across host plants in terms of: (1) their landing and settling behaviour, nymphal production rate, and subsequent colony establishment (i.e. nymphal survival and development) and (2) their sensory abilities in relation to host plant-derived odours. Furthermore, genetic structuring according to host plant type was detected using the gene for elongation factor 1-α. The magnitude of the genetic differentiation across lineages was low, perhaps indicating a relatively recent divergence. The results demonstrate: (1) the presence of (at least) two cryptic species within the current definition of A. gossypii , as anticipated in previous studies, and (2) the practicalities of using a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the 'limits' of asexual species. If sexuals can be generated from each of these lineages, this conclusion will be open to further testing.  © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2009, 97 , 503–519.     

Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and ozone alter soybean diseases at SoyFACE

Human driven changes in the Earth's atmospheric composition are likely to alter plant disease in the future. We evaluated the effects of elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ozone (O₃) on three economically important soybean diseases (downy mildew, Septoria brown spot and sudden death syndrome‐SDS) under natural field conditions at the soybean free air concentration enrichment (SoyFACE) facility. Disease incidence and/or severity were quantified from 2005 to 2007 using visual surveys and digital image analysis, and changes were related to microclimatic variability and to structural and chemical changes in soybean host plants. Changes in atmospheric composition altered disease expression, but responses of the three pathosystems varied considerably. Elevated CO₂ alone or in combination with O₃ significantly reduced downy mildew disease severity (measured as area under the disease progress curve‐AUDPC) by 39–66% across the 3 years of the study. In contrast, elevated CO₂ alone or in combination with O₃ significantly increased brown spot severity in all 3 years, but the increase was small in magnitude. When brown spot severity was assessed in relation to differences in canopy height induced by the atmospheric treatments, disease severity increased under combined elevated CO₂ and O₃ treatment in only one of the 3 years. The atmospheric treatments had no effect on the incidence of SDS or brown spot throughout the study. Higher precipitation during the 2006 growing season was associated with increased AUDPC severity across all treatments by 2.7 and 1.4 times for downy mildew and brown spot, respectively, compared with drought conditions in 2005. In the 2 years with similar precipitation, the higher daily temperatures in the late spring of 2007 were associated with increased severity of downy mildew and brown spot. Elevated CO₂ and O₃ induced changes in the soybean canopy density and leaf age likely contributed to the disease expression modifications.     

Attack, escape and predation rates of larvae of two aphidophagous ladybirds during conspecific and heterospecific interactions

The attack, escape and predation rates for larvae of aphidophagous ladybird Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) and Coccinella transversalis Fabricius were quantified as a potential mechanism leading to the differences in the incidence of cannibalism and intraguild predation. These rates were compared at four larval instars within and between the species. The attack rates of larvae of C. transversalis were significantly higher than those of P. dissecta towards conspecific and heterospecific victims. For both species, third instars exhibited maximum tendency to attack. Escape rates in C. transversalis were higher than P. dissecta. In P. dissecta, the second instars made a greater number of escapes than other conspecific instars after being attacked by same stage cannibal or heterospecific predator. In P. dissecta, first instars suffered maximum mortality due to cannibalism and intraguild predation by conspecifics and heterospecifics of the same and older developmental stage. No larvae of C. transversalis were eaten by P. dissecta of the same stage. These results suggest that the larvae of P. dissecta were more often potential cannibals than intraguild predators, while the reverse was the case in C. transversalis. Based on this finding, it could be predicted that in patchy prey habitats, high rates of larval cannibalism in P. dissecta would occur with a high risk of cannibalism of first instars. Larvae of C. transversalis would respond as intraguild predators, while those of P. dissecta as intraguild prey. The greater size and walking activity of C. transversalis could be possible reason for this tendency.

Information‐theory‐based model selection for determining the main vector and period of transmission of Potato virus Y

Potato virus Y (PVY, genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) is transmitted non‐persistently by aphids. It causes major losses in potato production (Solanum tuberosum), especially following seed tuber‐borne infection of plants. To limit the risk of PVY infection, seed potato production is located preferably in regions where vector pressure is low. The northern‐most high‐grade seed potato production area (HG zone) of Europe is in Finland. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of aphid species with documented ability to transmit PVY and to use a modelling approach to determine their relative importance as vectors of PVY in the HG zone of Finland. Winged aphids were caught from six to seven potato fields in each of three growing seasons (2007–09) using yellow pan traps that were examined twice a week. Identification of more than 30 000 individuals indicated that 37% of the aphids belonged to nine species reported to transmit PVY. Incidence of PVY in seed lots was low (0–5.6%) and the seasonal increase of PVY incidence was also low in the potato crops. No potato‐colonising aphids were found on the plants in any of the years. The seasonal increase in PVY incidence was modelled using aphid counts in traps, the relative vector efficiencies of the aphids, virus resistance of cultivars, and the initial infection rate of the seed tubers as explanatory variables in generalised linear mixed modelling. Akaike's information criterion was employed to find the best set of explanatory variables for PVY in harvested tubers. Results of this modelling approach showed that the incidence of seed‐borne PVY infection and the early‐season vector flights are the most important factors contributing to the incidence of PVY in the yield. Compared to models with data from all potential vector species, models containing data from Aphis fabae only showed a better model fit with regard to the incidence of PVY in the harvested tubers. The explanatory power of the models was lost when A. fabae was omitted from the vector data, suggesting that other species play a negligible role as vectors of PVY in the HG zone of Finland. Results can be used to devise appropriate strategies for enhanced control of PVY.     

大豆蚜危害胁迫对大豆叶片几个重要生理指标的影响

大豆蚜Aphis glycines Matsumura是为害大豆(Glycine max)的重要害虫,已给我国大豆生产造成了较为严重的经济损失。本研究通过测定大豆蚜危害胁迫后大豆叶片可溶性蛋白、非可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖含量及2种防御性酶——过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的动态变化,探讨大豆蚜危害胁迫对大豆叶片几个重要生理指标的影响。研究结果表明,受到大豆蚜危害胁迫的大豆叶片与未受为害叶片中所含可溶性蛋白含量存在极显著差异(t0.01=11.814,df=4,P<0.01),且前者较后者含量明显增高1.73mg·g-1。与之相比较,非可溶性蛋白与可溶性糖含量分别在此两处理间无显著差异(t0.05=-1.104,df=4,P>0.05;t0.05=-2.639,df=4,P>0.05)。此外,受到大豆蚜危害胁迫的大豆叶片较未受为害叶片中所含POD活性有所升高,但在两处理间POD活性无显著差异(t=-2.639,df=4,P>0.05)。同时,受到大豆蚜危害的大豆叶片较未受为害的大豆叶片中CAT活性增强。本研究有助于揭示大豆蚜对大豆的危害机理,评价不同大豆品种对大豆蚜虫危害的耐受程度,也为大豆抗虫品种选育以及大豆蚜的可持续控制提供理论依据。
