棉铃虫抗药性基因频率的测定(英文)

本文介绍了用单个棉铃虫测定杀虫药剂抗性基因频率的灵敏方法。该技术是基于比较三个相等量单个棉铃虫的乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性,每个棉铃虫要用微量滴定板同时做3个试验（也可用Enppen－dorf管）（No．1－3）：1）不加抑制剂（No．1）;2）不加酶源（No．2）;3）加一定浓度的残杀威以抑制编码敏感AceS等位基因的乙酰胆碱酯酶,但不能抑制编码抗性AceR等位基因的乙酰胆碱酯酶。如果No．1和No．3的强度一样强,说明残杀威对乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性没有影响,那么基因型应是纯合抗性（AceRR,No3＝No．1）。No．2和地．3的强度一样弱时,说明残杀威完全抑制了乙酰碱酯酶的活性,那么基因型应是纯合敏感（AceSS,No．3＝No．2）。No．3的强度介于No．1（强）和No．2（弱）之间显示出残杀威部分地抑制了乙酰胆碱酯酶的活性;基因型是杂合型（AceSR,No．2＜No.3＜No．1）。作者用该方法测定了1995,1996两年从河北省邯郸和固安县棉田采集的棉铃虫,在邯郸棉铃虫抗药性高发地区,其抗性基因频率AceRR分别是68．3％和65．3％;但在棉铃虫抗药性低发区的固安县其抗性基因频率分别是23．9％和29．4％。     

Non-target grasshoppers as indicators of the side-effects of chemical locust control in the Karoo, South Africa

In most locust or grasshopper control programmes, the proximate aim is to suppress grasshopper numbers. However, in the semi-arid Karoo, South Africa, only the brown locust (Locustana pardalina) has significant pest status. Non-target grasshoppers form a conspicuous and important part of the Karoo ecosystem, many being endemic. Grasshopper diversity was monitored in treated and untreated plots (0.25 ha) to establish the impact of spraying. Grasshopper abundance was significantly reduced one day after treatment. Vagile species recovered by immigration from the surrounding areas following the breakdown of chemical residues. Endemic apterous bushhoppers with low vagility recovered the following season after rainfall triggered hatching. Grasshopper numbers hatching in treated plots were significantly lower than in untreated plots the following summer season because of a reduction in the number of individuals in the preceding generation. However, species composition was similar to untreated plots and this reduction is unlikely to have significant, long-term biological effects in such small treated areas (0.25 ha being usual for hopper band control). The rate of recovery of grasshoppers, particularly bushhoppers, was linked to rainfall indicating that the timing of control relative to rainfall is important. Grasshopper assemblages are potentially useful indicators of the effect of chemical locust control in the Karoo.     

SIMULATION AND OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT OF THE PEST-NATURAL ENEMY-INSECTICIDE SYSTEM OF PADDY FIELDS IN MIDDLE SEASON RICE CROPPING REGION*

Abstract Investigations on the pest-natural enemy-insecticide system, including rice leaf roller-spider-tamaron and planthopper-spider-tamaron system, were carried out in the paddy fields in middle season rice cropping region. The relationship among insect pest, natural enemy and insecticide were studied based on the principle of the pest management system engineering. The optimal management models of the two systems were developed. Their diagrams of optimal feedback control strategy were contoured for computer monitoring of the pest-natural enemy-insecticide system. The population densities of pest and natural enemy in the future could be forecasted and the optimal strategy could be made when the current field densities of pest and natural enemy were input into the computer. The optimal performance index, which is a combination of the total cost of using the chemical and the total cost of pest damage to crops, for pest control is minimized. The objective of the system management is to drive the state of the system towards a beneficial equilibrium of the system generally. A comparison of the new IPM strategy with the ordinary strategy based on a single economic threshold is conducted in this paper. The optimal control strategies suggest that both pest and natural enemy populations should be controlled in the integrated pest management.     

European populations of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera are resistant to aldrin,but not to methyl‐parathion

The western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a major pest of cultivated corn in North America and has recently begun to invade Europe. In addition to crop rotation, chemical control is an important option for D. v. virgifera management. However, resistance to chemical insecticides has evolved repeatedly in the USA. In Europe, chemical control strategies have yet to be harmonized and no surveys of insecticide resistance have been carried out. We investigated the resistance to methyl‐parathion and aldrin of samples from nine D. v. virgifera field populations originating from two European outbreaks thought to have originated from two independent introductions from North America. Diagnostic concentration bioassays revealed that all nine D. v. virgifera field populations were resistant to aldrin but susceptible to methyl‐parathion. Aldrin resistance was probably introduced independently, at least twice, from North America into Europe, as there is no evident selection pressure to account for an increase of frequency of aldrin resistance in each of the invasive outbreaks in Europe. Our results suggest that organophosphates, such as methyl‐parathion, may still provide effective control of both larval and adult D. v. virgifera in the European invasive outbreaks studied.     

Detoxification of insecticides,allechemicals and heavy metals by glutathione S‐transferase SlGSTE1 in the gut of Spodoptera litura

Insect glutathione S‐transferases (GSTs) play important roles in detoxifying toxic compounds and eliminating oxidative stress caused by these compounds. In this study, detoxification activity of the epsilon GST SlGSTE1 in Spodoptera litura was analyzed for several insecticides and heavy metals. SlGSTE1 was significantly up‐regulated by chlorpyrifos and xanthotoxin in the midgut of S. litura. The recombinant SlGSTE1 had V_max (reaction rate of the enzyme saturated with the substrate) and K_m (michaelis constant and equals to the substrate concentration at half of the maximum reaction rate of the enzyme) values of 27.95 ± 0.88 μmol/min/mg and 0.87 ± 0.028 mmol/L for glutathione, respectively, and V_max and K_m values of 22.96 ± 0.78 μmol/min/mg and 0.83 ± 0.106 mmol/L for 1‐chloro‐2,4‐dinitrobenzene, respectively. In vitro enzyme indirect activity assay showed that the recombinant SlGSTE1 possessed high binding activities to the insecticides chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin, malathion, phoxim and dichloro‐diphenyl‐trichloroethane (DDT). SlGSTE1 showed higher binding activity to toxic heavy metals cadmium, chromium and lead than copper and zinc that are required for insect normal growth. Western blot analysis showed that SlGSTE1 was induced in the gut of larvae fed with chlorpyrifos or cadmium. SlGSTE1 also showed high peroxidase activity. All the results together indicate that SlGSTE1 may play an important role in the gut of S. litura to protect the insect from the toxic effects of these compounds and heavy metals.

Biochemical studies on malathion resistance,inheritance and association of carboxylesterase activity in brown planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens complex in Peninsular Malaysia

Abstract Two sympatric populations of brown planthopper (BPH), one from rice and the other from Leersia hexandra were collected from each of five locations in Malaysia. All the tested malathion-resistant individuals of the rice BPH population and F₁ generation (cross between malathion-resistant [usually caught on rice] and malathion-susceptible [usually caught on Leersia]) showed high esterase activity, while all malathion-susceptible individuals on L. hexandra showed low esterase activity. In the F₂ generation, all the individuals tested against malathion were approximately 75% resistant and 25% susceptible and the inheritance pattern of esterase activity (high and low esterase activity) segregated in the same manner to a 3: 1 ratio. This confirms that resistance to malathion is mono-factorial and inheritance pattern of esterase activity is also linked to malathion resistance. Carboxylesterase or total esterase activity in BPH is inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion that is encoded by a single dominant gene. For the total esterase assay, average esterase activity levels in the rice-infesting population ranged from 17.64 to 19.37 nmoles 1-napthol/mg protein while that in the Leersia-infesting population ranged from 5.29 to 6.11 nmoles 1-napthol/mg protein. In terms of esterase activity, the two sympatric Nilaparvata lugens populations separated into two distinct groups. Results based on the tube color intensity test showed 96% and 98% resistant and susceptible individuals were present in the rice- and Leersia-infesting populations, respectively. In a filter paper test, the rice-infesting population had 94% with high esterase activity while the Leersia-infesting population had 96% with low esterase activity.     

A decade of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bt</Emphasis> cotton in Chinese fields: Assessing the direct effects and indirect externalities of Bt cotton adoption in China

The objective of this study is to examine whether or not the gains from reduced spraying for bollworms are being sustained more than one decade after the initial adoption in 2007. Based on farm-level data collected by the authors in 1999–2007 in 16 villages from 4 provinces, this study shows that insecticides applied for controlling bollworms have declined. This analysis supports Chinese policy makers’ decision to not require refuges of non-Bt cotton fields. It also suggests that past studies may have underestimated the benefits from adopting Bt technology.     

Efficacy of pymetrozine against Myzus persicae and in reducing potato virus Y transmission on tobacco plants

Forty‐four parthenogenetic lineages of Myzus persicae s.l. (Sulzer) from tobacco crops and peach orchards located in various regions of Greece were examined to determine their response to the insecticide pymetrozine using leaf‐dip bio‐assays. The results show that the aphid has not developed resistance, as all lineages exhibited resistance factors bellow 6.0. In transmission experiments of potato virus Y (PVY) using a lineage of the tobacco‐adapted subspecies M. persicae nicotianae Blackman on tobacco plants, one foliar application with pymetrozine provided adequate protection for 7 days. Pymetrozine significantly reduced both virus acquisition and inoculation compared with the untreated control and the reduction was comparable to a mineral oil application. These results are discussed in terms of the advantage of incorporating pymetrozine as a compound of pest management strategies against M. persicae s.l. and for control of non‐persistent viruses, especially in crops such as tobacco because of the high selection pressure from neonicotinoids resulting in potential of resistance developing in aphid populations.
