粘虫雄蛾触角对其性信息素的电生理反应

用自行组装的触角电位仪,测定了粘虫Mythimna separata雄蛾蛾龄对标准化合物顺-11-十六碳烯醛(Z11-16：A1d)、顺-9-十六碳烯醛(Z9-16:Ald)和十六碳醛(16：A1d)的EAG反应的影响,分析了雄蛾触角对3种标准化合物的剂量-反应关系,发现粘虫雄蛾对Zll-16,Ald和Z9-16：Ald的剂量-反应曲线呈现出典型的“S”型,并且反应阐值较低。而对16：A1d几乎没有反应。最为重要的是检测了粘虫雄蛾对雌蛾腺体提取物的EAG反应,反应值的大小与样品中所提取的雌蛾腺体数目成正比。通过检测粘虫雄蛾对羽化不同天数,以及同一天羽化、在暗期不同时辰提取的雌蛾腺体提取物的EAG反应,证实了粘虫雄蛾的反应曲线与雌蛾释放性信息素的时辰节律呈正相关。还比较了烟青虫和粘虫雄蛾对粘虫雌蛾腺体提取物的EAG反应,间接证实了粘虫雌蛾腺体提取物中可能含有次要组分Z9-16;A1d。     

风洞内粘虫飞翔行为与气流的关系

利用自制的昆虫飞翔实验风洞 ,系统观测了在风洞条件下粘虫在不同流速实验气流中的起飞行为与飞翔行为。结果表明 ,微风能刺激粘虫起飞 ,试虫表现明显的偏爱迎风 (或稍偏一点角度 )起飞的习性 ,飞翔时亦多采取迎风 (或稍偏一点角度 )的姿势。试虫在气流中的实际位移是昆虫飞翔位移与气流位移的矢量和。当气流速度小于 2 m/ s时 ,逆风向位移占多数 ;而气流速度为 3～ 4 m/ s时 ,94 .8%的试虫为顺风向位移。     

川楝素抑制粘虫幼虫化学感受器诱发峰的观察

用充以肌醇(20m mol/L)或蔗糖(10m mol/L)的玻璃微管做刺激-记录电极接触粘虫(Mythimna separata)幼虫的下颚须或下颚瘤状体顶端,可诱起化学感受器发放峰。这种作用在感受器同渍过川楝素溶液(5×10^-5g/ml)的滤纸接触15分钟后被抑制。冲洗或经一段时间自行恢复后,抑制可逐渐解除。进一步提高川楝素浓度可使感受器对肌醇和蔗糖的反应完全和不可逆地丧失。     

Oviposition experience on a host-infested plant affects flight and antennal searching behavior of Cotesia kariyai toward the host-plant complex

The flight response of Cotesia kariyaiWatanabe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid of the polyphagous herbivore, Mythimna separataWalker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), to pairs of different plant species infested by M. separatalarvae was tested under a dual choice condition in the laboratory. The oviposition-inexperienced (naive) wasps showed preference in the order: corn > kidney bean > Japanese radish. Wasps that had previously oviposited on the less preferred plant in a pair were found to have shifted their preference to this plant at 2 h after oviposition. However, this shift became indistinct at 17 h after oviposition. Prior oviposition on a plant species other than those being compared also affected the preference. These data suggest that learning is involved in the wasp's flight response. Prior oviposition was also observed to have an effect on the antennal searching behavior of the wasp on corn leaves. Such behavioral plasticity may enhance the efficiency by which C. kariyaisearches for polyphagous hosts.     

粘虫核型多角体病毒一个新基因的序列和结构研究

本文报道ＴｓＮＰＶＤＮＡＥｃｏＲＶ／ＸｈｏＩ的５．５ｋｂ片段的克隆及其物理图谱。测定了其中一个８１９ｂＰ片段的全序列。在长３４６ｂｐ的完整ＯＲＦ的５’端除有ＴＡＴＡｂｏｘ和ＣＡＡＴｂｏｘ以外,还发现有典型的早期基因启动子元件ＡＣＧＴ和ＧＣ单元以及晚期基因的转录起始保守序列ＴＴＡＡＧ。预测的ＯＲＦ产物为１１４个氨基酸、分子量为１３ｋＤ的蛋白质,故命名为ｐ１３蛋白。在ｐ１３基因的Ｃ端和Ｎ端分别有一个亮氨酸拉链和两个类亮氨酸拉链结构（我们称为亮氨酸转型结构和ＬＶＴ重复结构〕．从终止密码起有一个双发卡环结构,ｐ１３基因的５’端调控单元及其排列与ＢｍＮＰＶ和ＡｃＮＰＶ的细胞序死抑制基因（ｐ３５）十分相似,但ｐ１３基因与已经发现的杆状病毒基因序列和氨基酸序列没有同源性．因此,这是一个新的早晚期基因,其调控元件可能具有重要功能。     

斑蝥素对粘虫和小菜蛾幼虫中肠组织的影响

粘虫 Mythimna separata (Walker) 和小菜蛾Plutella xylostella L.的幼虫经斑蝥素处理后,中肠组织发生明显的病变。粘虫幼虫中肠柱状细胞微绒毛脱落,杯状细胞变大,质膜消失;线粒体不规则肿胀,内嵴排列紊乱、溶解、断裂;粗面内质网扩张明显,核糖体脱落;细胞核肿胀,染色质浓缩,偏移。小菜蛾幼虫中肠组织病变更为明显。表明斑蝥素主要作用于中肠的膜系统,为进一步探讨其毒理机制提供了理论依据。

Sterol content in the artificial diet of Mythimna separata affects the metabolomics of Arma chinensis (Fallou) as determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Insects cannot synthesize sterols and must obtain them from plants. Therefore, reducing plant sterol content or changing sterol type might be an effective pest control strategy. However, the impacts of these changes on pests’ natural predators remain unknown. Here, we fed artificial diets with reduced sterol content to Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and investigated the effects on its natural predator, Arma chinensis (Fallou) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Reduced sterol content in M. separata (MS1, MS2, and MS5) was achieved by feeding them artificial diets prepared from a feed base subjected to one, two, or five cycles of sterol extractions, respectively. The content of most substances increased in A. chinensis (AC) groups feeding on MS2 and MS5. The content of eight substances (alanine, betaine, dimethylamine, fumarate, glutamine, glycine, methylamine, and sarcosine) differed significantly between the control (AC0) and treated (AC1, AC2, and AC5) groups. Metabolic profiling revealed that only AC5 was significantly distinct from AC0; the major substances contributing to this difference were maltose, glucose, tyrosine, proline, O‐phosphocholine, glutamine, allantoin, lysine, valine, and glutamate. Furthermore, only two metabolic pathways, that is, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism and ubiquinone and other terpenoid‐quinone biosynthesis, differed significantly between AC1 and AC5 and the control, albeit with an impact value of zero. Thus, the sterol content in the artificial diet fed to M. separata only minimally affected the metabolites and metabolic pathways of its predator A. chinensis, suggesting that A. chinensis has good metabolic self‐regulation with high resistance to sterol content changes.     

中红侧沟茧蜂寄生对寄主粘虫血淋巴糖类、脂类和蛋白质含量的影响

为揭示寄生蜂寄生对其寄主的生理调控机制, 室内对中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator寄生与未被寄生寄主粘虫Mythimna separata幼虫血淋巴中糖类、脂类和蛋白含量变化进行了测定。结果显示: 在滞育与非滞育条件下, 被寄生的粘虫血淋巴中糖原浓度均比未被寄生的粘虫高。滞育条件下寄生后12 d差异显著（P<0.05）, 被寄生粘虫糖原含量为7.93 μg/mL, 未被寄生粘虫糖原含量为4.70 μg/mL; 非滞育条件下寄生后6 d差异显著（P<0.05）, 被寄生粘虫糖原含量为14.35 μg/mL, 未被寄生粘虫糖原含量为5.47 μg/mL。海藻糖含量测定结果显示, 在滞育条件下寄生蜂对被寄生粘虫无明显影响, 而非滞育条件下影响效果差异显著（P<0.05）, 寄生后4 d被寄生粘虫海藻糖含量为46.82 μg/mL, 未被寄生粘虫含量为26.72 μg/mL。在滞育与非滞育两种条件下, 寄生与未被寄生寄主脂类和蛋白含量没有显著性差异。结果说明: 寄生蜂的存在使寄主血淋巴中的糖原含量增高; 非滞育条件是影响被寄生粘虫海藻糖含量变化主要因素; 粘虫对中红侧沟茧蜂的寄生表现相当强的适应性和忍受力。
