云斑天牛对补充营养寄主的选择性

通过林间调查和室内选择性试验,研究云斑天牛Batocera horsfieldi(Hope)成虫在补充营养阶段对多种寄主植物的选择性。林间调查结果表明,云斑天牛成虫对法国冬青(V.awabuki)和光皮桦(B.luninifera)有较强的嗜食性,林间最高取食选择率分别为100%和92.4%。利用"Y"型嗅觉仪测定云斑天牛成虫对法国冬青、核桃(Jugians regia L.)、光皮桦和杨树(Populus tomentosa)等寄主挥发物的行为反应,生测结果与林间调查及室内选择结果一致,法国冬青和光皮桦的挥发物对云斑天牛引诱效果明显,并且枝条挥发物引诱力高于叶片挥发物,引诱效果最佳的组合为:采用蒸馏法,用二氯甲烷提取的冬青枝叶粗提物;采用浸提法,用乙醚提取的冬青和光皮桦枝叶粗提物和二氯甲烷分别提取的冬青枝和叶的粗提物。     

无忧花茸毒蛾的生物学习性

无忧花茸毒蛾（Ｄａｓｙｃｈｉｒａ ｈｏｒｓｆｉｅｌｄｉ　Ｓａｕｎｄｅｒｓ）在山东１年发生３代,以蛹越冬。翌年４月中、下旬成虫羽化、产卵,幼虫６～７龄,一生可食泡桐叶片１～２．６片（２５０－６５０ｃｍ~２）。各虫态历期分别为：卵１０～２２天;幼虫２５～５０天;蛹８～１５天（越冬蛹１６０－１８０天）。其生长发育受寄主植物,空气温、湿度的影响,种群数量的消长则受天敌、降雨和冬季低温的制约。防治可采用在树干基部打孔注入内吸农药,既不伤害天敌,也可减少对环境的污染。     

基于转录组学的管纹艳虎天牛表皮蛋白基因家族的鉴定及特征分析

表皮蛋白(cuticular protein,CP)在昆虫生长发育、抵御外界不良环境等方面具有重要作用,但在管纹艳虎天牛Rhaphuma horsfieldi中关于CP基因的研究尚属空白.本研究基于已测序的转录组,通过生物信息学技术从管纹艳虎天牛中一共鉴定到108个CP基因,包括41个CP-RR1、30个CP-RR2、8个CPAP1、7个CPAP3、3个CPCFC、14个CPU和5个TWDL基因,其中39个基因具有全长序列.结构域及保守基序分析表明,管纹艳虎天牛的CP-RR1和CP-RR2家族均具有1个保守的Chitin_bind_4结构域,其中CP-RR1家族完全符合昆虫经典的R&R基序(G-X(8)-G-X(6)-Y),而CP-RR2家族的保守基序(G-X-Y-X(5)-D-G-X(6)-Y)出现了变化.进化分析表明,管纹艳虎天牛RhorCPs可划分为7个家族:CP-RR1、CP-RR2、CPAP1、CPAP3、CPCFC、CPU和TWDL.表达谱结果表明,RhorCPs基因的表达谱具有多样性,部分基因在检测的组织中表达量均较低;部分基因在触角和跗节中特异或高表达,可能具有化学感受功能;部分基因在不含触角和跗节的身体中有表达,可能与成虫表皮的发育和形成有关.研究结果不仅可为后续管纹艳虎天牛RhorCPs基因的功能研究奠定基础,还可筛选到害虫防治的潜在分子靶标.     

Electrophysiological responses of Batocera horsfieldi (Hope) adults to plant volatiles

The olfactory stimuli from the maturation feeding‐plant, Rosa multiflora Thunb., and larval‐host plant, Populus deltoides, of the longhorned beetle, Batocera horsfieldi (Hope), were investigated by using TCT‐GC/MS (Thermal desorption and cold trap, and GC/MS) and electroantennogram recordings (EAG). A total of 20 plant compounds were identified from plant headspace volatile, including aliphatic, aromatic and terpenoid compounds. Five compounds were common to both plants. Eight compounds eliciting strong EAG response were E‐3‐hexenyl acetate, 3‐carene, 1‐penten‐3‐ol, 3‐pentanol, Z‐2‐penten‐1‐ol, hexanal and E‐2‐hexenal. Female and male B. horsfieldi exhibited broad overlap in their EAG responses to individual plant odour, and there was no clear pattern of difference between responses of female and male antennae to different compounds. Mating status had little effect on the EAG responses of females.     

管纹艳虎天牛糖苷水解酶基因家族的鉴定和表达谱分析

昆虫糖苷水解酶（Glycoside hydrolase, GH）在寄主植物糖类化合物的水解过程中扮演着重要作用,但是在管纹艳虎天牛Rhaphuma horsfieldi中尚未有GH基因的报道。基于测序的转录组数据,本研究从管纹艳虎天牛中鉴定到7个RhorGHs家族：GH1、GH9、GH13、GH16、GH28、GH31和GH45,分别具有23、1、4、2、10、12和4个基因,其中23个基因具有全长序列。在进化分析中,管纹艳虎天牛不同GH家族的成员主要以物种特异的形式聚类,尤其是GH1和GH28家族。三级结构分析显示,RhorGH28家族的蛋白主要由β折叠组成,不同蛋白间具有高度保守的结构和与糖类化合物互作的关键氨基酸位点,包括质子供体、催化亲核残基和底物结合位点。在表达谱分析中,大部分RhorGHs基因主要在雌雄虫腹部特异或高表达,暗示其可能在与消化有关的肠道中表达。研究结果明确了管纹艳虎天牛GH家族及其数量,以及各家族的序列特征和进化关系,可为该天牛的寄主植物适应性机制研究提供借鉴。     

The cry1Ac gene of Bacillus thuringiensis ZQ-89 encodes a toxin against long-horned beetle adult

Aims: Bacillus thuringiensis is toxic to many insects including Coleopteran pests. However, there is no report that B. thuringiensis is toxic to the adults of long‐horned beetle, Batocera horsfieldi, a pest of poplar trees. This work aims to select a B. thuringiensis strain toxic towards the adults of Asian long‐horned beetle. Methods and Results: A total of 504 B. thuringiensis strains were tested for the insecticidal activity to B. horsfieldi adults by artificial feeding. A strain of ZQ‐89 was found with a high toxicity to B. horsfieldi adults. The rectified lethal rate of ZQ‐89 to beetle was 55·33%. Additionally, the body weight and egg‐hatching rate of beetle, respectively, decreased by 2·22 and 19·62% after being fed with ZQ‐89. Further investigation found that the pure parasporal crystal had high toxicity to beetle adults. The ZQ‐89 crystal protein was purified and analysed by peptide‐mapping fingerprint and found it was highly homologous to Cry1Ac protein. The crystal protein gene was cloned and named cry1Ac89. The cry1Ac89 gene and its promoter were inserted into the plasmid pHT304 and then transformed into B. thuringiensis acrystalliferous strain BMB171. SDS‐PAGE analysis showed the BMB171‐Cry1Ac89 recombinant strain successfully expresses a 133‐kDa recombinant crystal protein with highly lethal activity to B. horsfieldi adults. Conclusions: The strain of ZQ‐89 is highly toxic to the adults of long‐horned beetle, and the crystal protein mainly contributes to the antipest role of this strain. The cry1Ac89 gene is a good candidate to be used for making transgenic trees or develop environment‐friendly bioinsecticides against long‐horned beetles such as B. horsfieldi in the future. Significance and Impact of the Study: It is the first report of a B. thuringiensis strain toxic to the adults of Asian long‐horned beetle, and the Cry1Ac protein is also firstly reported to be toxic to Coleopteran pests.
