Several carbohydrases and glycosidases from the alimentary cancal and/or salivary glands of feeding larvae of mayetiola destructor have been identified. Pectinase activity was identified in the midgut and may be present in the salivary glands. No endocellulase activity was found in larvae; however, hemicellulase activity was detected in extract of larvae. Amylase activity was present in midguts from feeding larvae and at a low level in extract of salivary glands. Amylases detected in the midgut showed mobilities during polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis similar to the two major amylases in tissues of the insect's host plant. The possibility exists that Hessian fly larvae utilize amylases obtained from their host plant in the digestion of starch. The major glycosidases detected in the midgut lumen of larve were: α-D-glucosidase and α-D-and β-D-galactosidase. The role of these enzymes in the feeding process of Hessian fly larvae is discussed as well as their potential role in feeding damage to wheat. 相似文献

Feeding behavior of Sitobion avenae F. (Homoptera: Aphididae) on oats (Avena sativa cv. Clintland 64) was electronically monitored, and waveforms corresponding to salivation, ingestion, and sieve element penetration described.During 90 min plant access, aphids ingested from phloem for 0–43 min (mean: 8.1 min) and non-phloem for 0–60 min (mean: 19 min). Only 65% of the aphids tested made phloem contact within 90 min, contacting phloem after 18–85 min (mean: 32 min). No significant difference was observed in the feeding behavior of aphids carrying barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) from that of non-viruliferous aphids.Penetration of a sieve element was a prerequisite for BYDV transmission but did not insure transmission. Penetration of one sieve element resulted in a 65% chance of transmission independent of the duration of phloem contact. The chance of transmission increased with increasing number of sieve element penetrations.Inoculation of oat seedlings with single, viruliferous aphids for 90 min is estimated to cause 54% of the plants to be infected. Also, it is estimated that no transmission can occur with plant access periods shorter than 17 min.
Zusammenfassung Das Probeverhalten von Sitobion avenae F. (Homoptera: Aphididae) auf Hafer (Sorte Clintland 64) wurden elektronisch verfolgt. Drei Wellenformen (S=Speichelfluss, X-das Eindringen in ein Siebelement, I=Nahrungsaufname) wurden registriert. In histologischen Untersuchungen wurden diese Wellenformen mit der Position der Stechborsten korreliert. Wenn X-Wellen oder eine X-I-Folge registriert wurden, war die Stechborste immer im Phloëm; bei S-Wellen oder bei einer S-I-Folge, war die Stechborste nie im Phloëm.Die Blattläuse wurden auf gesunden, fünf Tage alten Pflanzen während 90 Min beobachtet. 65% der Blattläuse erreichten nach 18–85 Min (Durchschnitt 32 Min) das Phloëm. Innerhalb 90 Min nahmen die Blattläuse während 0–43 Min (Durchschnitt 8.1 Min) Saft aus dem Phloem und während 0–60 Min (Durchschnitt 19 Min) Saft aus dem Mesophyll auf. Keine signifikanten Unterschiede im Probeverhalten wurden bei Blattläusen mit und ohne Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) festgestellt.Blattläuse, die innerhalb 24 Stunden BYDV übermitteln können, wurden für Übertragungsversuche verwendet. Das Probeverhalten dieser Blattläuser wurde manipuliert, und die Leistungsfähigkeit der Übertragung mit einer immunologischen Technik (ELISA) untersucht. Um BYDV zu übertragen mussten die Blattläuse mit einem Siebelement in Kontakt kommen. Nach der Stechborstenpenetration in ein Siebelement wurden 65% der Pflanzen mit BYDV infiziert. Der Prozentsatz infizierter Pflanzen und der Virusiter in den infizierten Pflanzen waren mit der Dauer der Siebelement-penetration (Anzahl von X-Wellen) nicht proportional. Wenn die Blattläuse mit zwei oder drei Siebelementen in Kontakt kamen, wurde der Prozentsatz infizierter Pflanzen signifikant erhöht, während der Virustiter nich verändert wurde. Infektionsprozente niedriger als 100% nach Siebelement-penetration sind möglicherweise das Resultat von Unterschieden in den Siebelementen.Es wird geschätzt dass 50% Infektion eintritt, wenn Pflanzen während ungefähr 83 Min von einer einzelnen infizierten Blattlaus besogen werden. Keine Übertragung von BYDV kann eintreten, wenn die Probezeit weniger als 17 Minuten beträgt.相似文献

Unlike most documented plant-insect interactions, Hessian fly-resistance [Mayetiola destructor (Say)] in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is initiated by a gene-for-gene recognition event in which plants carrying a specific R gene recognize salivary effectors encoded by a corresponding larval avirulence gene. However, dual infestation resulting from oviposition by virulent insects from 5 d before to 3 d after oviposition by avirulent insects on the same host plant, lead to systemic induced susceptibility, obviation of resistance, and ultimately the survival of both virulent and genetically avirulent progeny to adulthood. Simultaneous oviposition allowed greater survival of avirulent progeny than ovipositions separated by larger intervals. Because of the induction of plant resistance, hatch of avirulent larvae before virulent was more detrimental to rate of development than hatch of virulent before avirulent larvae. Obviation of resistance was not localized to the leaf being attacked by the virulent larvae, but also functioned across spatial distance into younger leaves. This research suggests that virulent Hessian fly larvae directly suppress the defense response of wheat, thus providing a refuge for avirulent genotypes, preserving diversity in field populations and increasing durability of deployed resistance genes. 相似文献

The focus of the present study was to compare ultrastructure in the midguts of larvae of the Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), under different feeding regimens. Larvae were either fed on Hessian fly-resistant or -susceptible wheat, and each group was compared to starved larvae. Within 3 h of larval Hessian fly feeding on resistant wheat, midgut microvilli were disrupted, and after 6 h, microvilli were absent. The disruption in microvilli in larvae feeding on resistant wheat were similar to those reported for midgut microvilli of European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilasis (Hubner), larvae fed a diet containing wheat germ agglutinin. Results from the present ultrastructural study, coupled with previous studies documenting expression of genes encoding lectin and lectin-like proteins is rapidly up-regulated in resistant wheat to larval Hessian fly, are indications that the midgut is a target of plant resistance compounds. In addition, the midgut of the larval Hessian fly is apparently unique among other dipterans in that no peritrophic membrane was observed. Ultrastructural changes in the midgut are discussed from the prospective of their potential affects on the gut physiology of Hessian fly larvae and the mechanism of antibiosis in the resistance of wheat to Hessian fly attack. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of mariner-like elements in the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura

Soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is currently the most important insect pest of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in the United States and causes significant economic damage worldwide, but little is known about the aphid at the molecular level. Mariner-like transposable elements (MLEs) are ubiquitous within the genomes of arthropods and various other invertebrates. In this study, we report the cloning of MLEs from the soybean aphid genome using degenerate PCR primers designed to amplify conserved regions of mariner transposases. Two of the ten sequenced clones (designated as Agmar1 and Agmar2) contained partial but continuous open reading frames, which shared high levels of homology at the protein level with other mariner transposases from insects and other taxa. Phylogenetic analysis revealed Agmar1 to group within the irritans subfamily of MLEs and Agmar2 within the mellifera subfamily. Southern blot analysis and quantitative PCR analysis indicated a low copy number for Agmar1-like elements within the soybean aphid genome. These results suggest the presence of at least two different putative mariner-like transposases encoded by the soybean aphid genome. Both Agmar1 and Agmar2 could play influential roles in the architecture of the soybean aphid genome. Transposable elements are also thought to potentially mediate resistance in insects through changes in gene amplification and mutations in coding sequences. Finally, Agmar1 and Agmar2 may represent useful genetic tools and provide insights on A. glycines adaptation. 相似文献

Background
The similarity property principle has been used extensively in drug discovery to identify small compounds that interact with specific drug targets. Here we show it can be applied to identify the interactions of small molecules within the NF-κB signalling pathway. 相似文献29.
