The palm weevil, Rhynchophorus palmarum (L.), was collected in cocoons from red ring-diseased coconut palms (Cocos nucifera L.) in Trinidad and Tobago. Juveniles of five species of nematodes were extracted from the genitalia and macerated bodies of newly emerged adults of the palm weevil: Rhadinaphelenchus cocophilus (Cobb) Goodey (the red ring nematode), Teratorhabditis sp., Diplogasteritus sp., Mononchoides sp., and Bursaphelenchus sp. Over 90% of newly emerged weevil females and males were infested internally with red ring nematode juveniles, and over 47% of the weevils contained more than 1,000 red ring nematodes each. There was no significant correlation between weevil body length and the number of red ring nematodes carried internally by each weevil. Teratorhabditis sp. and Diplogasteritus sp. were extracted from over 50% of the palm weevils, and Monochoides sp. and Bursaphelenchus sp. were found in a small proportion of the weevils. Field-collected adult weevils were also internally and externally infested with a Rhabditis sp., which was not observed in or on weevils allowed to emerge from field-collected cocoons. 相似文献

Population genetics and phylogenetics of DNA sequence variation at multiple loci within the Drosophila melanogaster species complex 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
Two regions of the genome, a 1-kbp portion of the zeste locus and a 1.1-
kbp portion of the yolk protein 2 locus, were sequenced in six individuals
from each of four species: Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, D.
mauritiana, and D. sechellia. The species and strains were the same as
those of a previous study of a 1.9-kbp region of the period locus. No
evidence was found for recent balancing or directional selection or for the
accumulation of selected differences between species. Yolk protein 2 has a
high level of amino acid replacement variation and a low level of
synonymous variation, while zeste has the opposite pattern. This contrast
is consistent with information on gene function and patterns of codon bias.
Polymorphism levels are consistent with a ranking of effective population
sizes, from low to high, in the following order: D. sechellia, D.
melanogaster, D.mauritiana, and D. simulans. The apparent species
relationships are very similar to those suggested by the period locus
study. In particular, D. simulans appears to be a large population that is
still segregating variation that arose before the separation of D.
mauritiana and D. sechellia. It is estimated that the separation of
ancestral D. melanogaster from the other species occurred 2.5-3.4 Mya. The
separations of D. sechellia and D. mauritiana from ancestral D. simulans
appear to have occurred 0.58- 0.86 Mya, with D. mauritiana having diverged
from ancestral D. simulans 0.1 Myr more recently than D. sechellia.

''Floratam'' and ''FX-313'' St. Augusfinegrasses (Stenotaphrum secundatum) were compared in a time-course experiment for host suitability and susceptibility to the lance nematode, Hoplolaimus galeatus. Nematode densities were determined in the soil and acid-fuchsin stained roots 42, 84, 126, 168, and 210 days after pots containing 230 cm³ of autoclaved native Margate fine sand/pot were infested with 104 ± 9 nematodes and maintained at 25 ± 2 C in the laboratory. ''FX-313'' was a more suitable host for H. galeatus. Numbers of H. galeatus reached a maximum at 210 days after inoculation, with 5,550 and 4,120 nematodes (adults plus juveniles)/pot for ''FX-313'' and ''Floratam,'' respectively. Root and shoot dry weights of both grasses were not affected by H. galeatus throughout the experiment. Three polyploid, 2n = 30 to 32 (''Floratam,'' ''FX-10,'' and ''Bitterblue'') and three diploid, 2n = 18 (''FX-313,'' ''Florida Common,'' and ''Seville'') S. secundatum genotypes were inoculated with H. galeatus (99 ± 9/pot) and compared with uninoculated controls 210 days after inoculation. St. Augustinegrass genotypes differed as hosts of H. galeatus. ''FX-313'' and ''Florida Common'' represented the high and low extremes, respectively, for nematode reproduction (9,750 and 5,490 nematodes/pot or 4,239 and 2,387 nematodes/100 cm³ of soil). However, differences in root and shoot growth were not detected 210 days after inoculation with H. galeatus. 相似文献

St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) cv FX-313 was used as a model laboratory host for monitoring population growth of the sting nematode, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, and for quantifying the effects of sting nematode parasitism on host performance in two samples of autoclaved native Margate fine sand with contrasting amounts of organic matter (OM = 7.9% and 3.8%). Following inoculation with 50 Belonolaimus longicaudatus per pot, nematodes peaked at a mean of 2,139 nematodes per pot 84 days after inoculation, remained stable through 168 days at 2,064 nematodes per pot, and declined at 210 days. The relative numbers of juveniles and adults demonstrated senescence after 84 days. Root dry weight of nematode-inoculated plants increased briefly to an apparent equilibrium 84 days after inoculation, whereas root weights of uninoculated controls continued to increase, exceeding those of inoculated plants from 84 to 210 days (P < 0.01). At 210 days, uninoculated plants had 227% the root dry weight of inoculated plants. Transpiration of FX-313 was reduced by nematodes (P < 0.0001) at 84 and 126 days after inoculation; reduction was first observed at 42 days and last observed 168 days after inoculation (P < 0.05). OM content affected all plant performance variables at multiple dates, and generally there were no inoculation x OM content interactions. OM content had no effect on nematode numbers per pot, although there was a slight (P < 0.05) increase in the number of nematodes per gram root dry weight in the low-OM soil compared with the high-OM soil. 相似文献

We performed a hospital-based, unmatched case-control study to investigate the association between progressive stages of cervical neoplasia and digital analysis of cell proliferation by silver stained nucleolus organizer region associated proteins (AgNORs). We measured cell proliferation levels in the cervical epithelial cells of 10 women with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LG-SIL), eight with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HG-SIL), 11 with cervical cancer (CC) and eight with no cervical lesions (controls) using the AgNORs technique. Cell proliferation was measured by digital image analysis (DIA). DIA revealed increased total areas of AgNORs in HG-SIL and CC compared to LG-SIL and control patients. AgNORs with a kidney or cluster shape exhibited greater areas than those with a spherical or long shape. We propose a cut-off of 118 pixels to differentiate benign (control and LG-SIL) from malignant (HG-SIL and CC) lesions. DIA of AgNORs is a simple and inexpensive method for studying proliferation. The increased total area of AgNORs in malignant lesions provides information regarding cell behavior and may be related to cervical carcinogenesis; however, further validation studies are required to establish its usefulness in cytological analysis. 相似文献

1-Thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides: synthesis and evaluation as beta-D- galactofuranosidase inhibitors

Beta-D-galactofuranosidase is a good chemotherapeutic target for the design
of inhibitors, since beta-D-galactofuranose is a constituent of important
parasite glycoconjugates but is not present in the host mammals. With this
aim, we have synthesized for the first time alkyl, benzyl and aryl
1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranosides by condensation of
penta-O-benzoyl-alpha,beta-D-galactofuranose with the corresponding thiols,
in the presence of SnCl4as catalyst. The complete chemical and
spectroscopical characterization of these compounds showed that the
reaction was stereoselective. Debenzoylation with sodium methoxide afforded
the beta-S-galactofuranosides in high yield. The thioglycosides were tested
as inhibitors of the beta-D- galactofuranosidase of Penicillium fellutanum,
using for the first time 4-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactofuranoside as
chromogenic substrate. The 4- aminophenyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactofuranoside,
obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of the nitrophenyl derivative, was the
best inhibitor being then an adequate ligand for the preparation of an
affinity phase aimed at the isolation of beta-d-galactofuranosidases from
different sources. Also the inhibitory activity of d-galactono-1, 4-lactone
was shown.
