河南省绿盲蝽对有机磷类杀虫剂的抗药性监测

【目的】全面了解河南省绿盲蝽Apolygus lucorum(Meyer-Dür)对有机磷杀虫剂的敏感性变化,可为该虫的有效防治提供科学依据。【方法】采用瓶膜法于2010—2013年系统监测了河南新乡、周口、南阳地区绿盲蝽田间种群对毒死蜱、马拉硫磷、辛硫磷和乙酰甲胺磷4种常用有机磷杀虫剂的敏感性。【结果】相对于室内敏感种群,2010—2013年河南省各地绿盲蝽种群对不同有机磷杀虫剂表现出不同程度的敏感性变化,但相对毒力比值均小于5倍。其中对毒死蜱、马拉硫磷、辛硫磷和乙酰甲胺磷的敏感性均未降低,且3个种群对马拉硫磷表现为敏感性增强。【结论】毒死蜱、马拉硫磷、辛硫磷和乙酰甲胺磷仍是河南省防治绿盲蝽的有效药剂。     

不同温度效应杀虫剂诱导对绿盲蝽三种解毒酶活力的影响

【目的】为了明确解毒酶对绿盲蝽Apolygus lucorum防治药剂温度效应的影响机制。【方法】本文测定了绿盲蝽3龄若虫体内3种主要解毒酶活力随温度变化的"钟形"曲线,以及在不同温度效应杀虫剂诱导后对绿盲蝽体内解毒酶"钟形"曲线的影响。【结果】在供试温度10~40℃范围内,绿盲蝽体内3种主要解毒酶,在25℃时活力均最高,且显著高于其他温度处理。在不同温度下,4种不同温度效应杀虫剂诱导后对绿盲蝽体内解毒酶活力影响测定结果来看,谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶受杀虫剂诱导影响,可能参与了负温度效应杀虫剂溴虫腈的代谢,其在20~30℃的温度范围内,可能参与了吡虫啉和辛硫磷的部分代谢,而正温度效应杀虫剂氟铃脲在低温时毒力较低,可能与其诱导该酶在低温时活力升高相关。在15℃左右的低温时,绿盲蝽体内羧酸酯酶和多功能氧化酶易受氟铃脲和溴虫腈诱导而活力增加,而在20~35℃,这两种酶活力不易受杀虫剂诱导,且辛硫磷、溴虫腈和吡虫啉可对绿盲蝽体内两种酶活力产生一定的抑制作用。【结论】绿盲蝽体内解毒酶活力可明显受到温度影响,而在杀虫剂诱导条件下,其可对绿盲蝽防治药剂的温度效应产生显著影响。

绿盲蝽趋避剂二甲基二硫醚的缓释体系及其田间效果

前期研究发现,二甲基二硫醚(DMDS)对绿盲蝽成虫具有明显的趋避效果,但田间喷施应用的持效期较短.本文从缓释材料、缓释剂、稀释浓度等方面构建DMDS的缓释体系,并在枣园检验其缓释效果.结果表明:以PE小瓶为缓释材料、液体石蜡为缓释剂、稀释浓度为1∶10构建的DMDS缓释体系在田间的持效期达15 d以上.上述DMDS缓释体系在枣园成直线挂置使用,30 d后距趋避带10 m范围内的绿盲蝽越冬卵数量降低了48.0%.本研究为田间应用DMDS趋避防控绿盲蝽成虫奠定了重要基础.

Apolygus lucorum genome provides insights into omnivorousness and mesophyll feeding

Apolygus lucorum (Miridae) is an omnivorous pest that occurs worldwide and is notorious for the serious damage it causes to various crops and substantial economic losses. Although some studies have examined the biological characteristics of the mirid bug, no reference genome is available in Miridae, limiting in‐depth studies of this pest. Here, we present a chromosome‐scale reference genome of A. lucorum, the first sequenced Miridae species. The assembled genome size was 1.02 Gb with a contig N50 of 785 kb. With Hi‐C scaffolding, 1,016 Mb contig sequences were clustered, ordered and assembled into 17 large scaffolds with scaffold N50 length 68 Mb, each corresponding to a natural chromosome. Numerous transposable elements occur in this genome and contribute to the large genome size. Expansions of genes associated with omnivorousness and mesophyll feeding such as those related to digestion, chemosensory perception, and detoxification were observed in A. lucorum, suggesting that gene expansion contributed to its strong environmental adaptability and severe harm to crops. We clarified that a salivary enzyme polygalacturonase is unique in mirid bugs and has significantly expanded in A. lucorum, which may contribute to leaf damage from this pest. The reference genome of A. lucorum not only facilitates biological studies of Hemiptera as well as an understanding of the damage mechanism of mesophyll feeding, but also provides a basis on which to develop efficient control technologies for mirid bugs.     

The olfactory responses of mirid bugs to six plant extracts and their volatiles

Many methods for management of mirid bugs, one of the major pest species in cotton fields, have been developed in recent decades. The use of attractive plant volatiles may be a safe and effective alternative compared with chemical pesticides. Very little is known about the responses of the bugs to some specific volatiles. In this study, the attractive effects for the mirid bug Apolygus lucorum were evaluated and compared among ethanol extracts obtained from six types of plants. The results showed that A. lucorum had the highest selection response rate to the extract from Allium tuberosum seeds and 70.51% of the adults tended to choose this odour source. Among 40 identified compounds of the volatiles comprising A. tuberosum seed extracts, diethyl phthalate and methyl levulinate had significantly higher attractive effects than that of cotton leaves, but the respective selection response rates were less than 65%. We found that when methyl levulinate and diethyl phthalate were mixed in volume ratios of 3:7 and 6:4, the selection response rates of A. lucorum for the mixtures were 54.67% and 63.65%, respectively. These response rates were significantly higher than those for the two compounds presented alone. Furthermore, the selection response rates of A. lucorum based on these mixtures reached 82.75% and 75.73%, respectively when compared with cotton leaves. The two volatile mixtures also showed a significantly higher attractive effect for Adelphocoris suturalis, with respective selection response rates at 74.58% and 77.80% when compared with cotton leaves. Moreover, the two attractants showed no difference between the responses of male and female mirid bugs. We concluded that an appropriate application of the attractants described herein has the potential to develop a safe and effective approach for the monitoring and control of mirid bugs in cotton fields.     

Senescence of immune defence in Bombus workers

Abstract 1. Senescence in workers of social insects is a particularly intriguing life-history trait as the future fitness of workers relies primarily on age-dependent survival rate. The pattern of senescence of immune defence traits was investigated under laboratory conditions in workers of two bumble bees: Bombus terrestris and B. lucorum .
2. In both species, there was a significant decrease with age in the ability to encapsulate a foreign object (a global measure of the efficiency of immune systems). This pattern of senescence was observed in all colonies in B. terrestris (seven) and B. lucorum (eight) assayed, even though, for the latter, there was some heterogeneity among colonies.
3. In B. terrestris , two other measures of immune defence were taken: the relative percentage of fat body in the abdomen and the concentration of haemocytes (the immune defence cells). The quantity of fat body increased only slightly with age and there was no effect for the concentration of haemocytes. Interestingly, the concentration of haemocytes decreased strongly after an encapsulation response, regardless of the age of workers.
4. The importance of the senescence pattern observed for the immune defence traits is discussed in the context of the social biology of workers.
