Elicitor(s) in Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) Causing the Japanese Rice Plant (Oryza sativa L.) to Induce the Ovicidal Substance,Benzyl Benzoate

We elucidate the mechanism for inducing the production of ovicidal benzyl benzoate by Japonica rice varieties to kill eggs of the whitebacked planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth), lying in the rice plant. Even when subjected to physical damage by a needle or damage with water, the rice plant produced no benzyl benzoate. However, significant benzyl benzoate was produced when the plant was damaged with a methanol extract or homogenate of S. furcifera. The extract of the male did not induce the production of benzyl benzoate, but that of the female did. We concluded from these results that benzyl benzoate was induced by some elicitor(s) in the female of S. furcifera.     

拟环纹豹蛛对白背飞虱的嗅觉反应

采用视觉屏蔽法和Y型嗅觉仪法研究了拟环纹豹蛛Pardosa pseudoannulata.雌性成虫对水稻害虫白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera嗅觉反应.在视觉屏蔽的条件下,拟环纹豹蛛对被刺死猎物的捕食成功率为78.95%,高于没有视觉屏蔽蜘蛛的捕食成功率(68.18%),但2者间差异不显著;而在Y型嗅觉仪中,34.38%拟环纹豹蛛雌性成虫能正确选择猎物的方向,显著高于错误的选择(6.25%).因此,拟环纹豹蛛能依靠嗅觉正确判断猎物的方向而进行捕食活动.     

Amino Acid Composition of Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus Coat Protein and Sequence Determination of Its Tryptic Peptides

Amino acid composition of the CGMMV* coat protein was determined to be as follows: Asp₂₀, Thr₁₀, Ser₂₄, Glu₁₀. Pro₆, Gly₉, Ala₂₁, Val₇, Ile₇, Leu₁₈, Tyr₄, Phe₉, Lys₄, His₁, Arg₈, Trp₂. No terminal α-amino group was detected by dinitrophenylation method. The carboxyl-terminus was found to be serine by hydrazinolysis of the protein and digestion with carboxypeptidase A.

For sequence analysis of the coat protein, tryptic digestion was accomplished at pH 8.0 resulting in ten soluble and several insoluble peptides at pH 4.5. The amino acids contained in soluble peptides accounted for 91 out of 160 residues in the whole protein. The amino acid sequences of ten soluble peptides were determined.

From the similarities of amino acid sequence of the peptides to those of TMV* protein, CGMMV was assumed to be a strain of TMV group.     

Rice Resistance to Planthoppers and Leafhoppers

For over 50 years, host-plant resistance has been regarded as an efficient method to reduce yield losses to rice caused by delphacid and cicadelid hoppers. Already a number of resistant rice varieties have been developed and deployed throughout Asia. To date, over 70 hopper resistance genes have been identified in rice; however, less than 10 genes have been deliberately introduced to commercial rice varieties. Currently, due to recent brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens [Stål]) and whitebacked planthopper (Sogatella furcifera [Horvath]) outbreaks occurring at an unprecedented scale, researchers are working toward a second generation of resistant varieties using newly identified gene loci and applying new molecular breeding methods. This paper reviews advances in the identification of resistance genes and QTLs against hoppers in rice. It collates all published information on resistance loci and QTLs against the major rice planthoppers and leafhoppers and presents information on gene locations, genetic markers, differential varieties, and wild rice species as sources of resistance. The review indicates that, whereas progress in the identification of genes has been rapid, considerable tidying of the information is required, especially regarding gene nomenclature and resistance spectra. Furthermore, sound information on gene functioning is almost completely lacking. However, hopper responses to resistance mechanisms are likely to be similar because a single phenotyping technique has been applied by most national and international breeding programs during germplasm screening. The review classifies genes occurring at two chromosome regions associated with several identified resistance loci and highlights these (Chr4S: BphR-R and Chr12L: BphR-R) as general stress response regions. The review calls for a greater diversity of phenotyping methods to enhance the durability of resistant varieties developed using marker-aided selection and emphasizes a need to anticipate the development of virulent hopper populations in response to the field deployment of genes.     

Bacterial reproductive manipulators in rice planthoppers

Rice planthoppers (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) are notorious pests for rice (Oryza sativa) in Asia, posing a serious threat to rice production and grain security. Rice planthoppers harbor diverse bacterial symbionts, including Wolbachia, Cardinium, Spiroplasma, and Arsenophonus, which are known to manipulate reproduction in arthropod hosts. This microreview is to introduce current knowledge of bacterial reproductive manipulators in rice planthoppers, including their diversity, population dynamics, localization, transmission, and biological functions.

川东地区白背飞虱迁入种群虫源地分布与降落机制

【目的】本研究旨在确定四川达州白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera(Horváth)迁入虫源地及其降落机制,以期为川东地区白背飞虱预警和有效防控提供依据。【方法】运用大气质点轨迹分析平台HYSPLIT4.8对1991-2013年达州灯下白背飞虱主要迁入高峰日进行轨迹模拟,并运用气象图形处理软件Grads对主要迁入高峰日进行气象背景分析。【结果】达州白背飞虱主要在6-7月迁入,7月份是迁入高峰期。6月虫源主要来自广西西北、中部地区;7月虫源主要来自贵州中西部、北部,广西西北部和云南东北部也可提供部分虫源。【结论】四川达州白背飞虱迁入虫源主要来自贵州大部,部分来自云南东北部和广西西北部。由于气候条件和地形胁迫引起的降水、垂直气流和风向切变是白背飞虱大规模集中降落的主要原因。     

白背飞虱的迁飞生物学:起飞与迁出

2001—2002年在苏州吴中区2个生长季节的田间观察和罩笼试验表明,白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera(Horváth)7月上旬以前迁入苏州,并在当地繁殖2代。从8月中下旬开始陆续有少量向外迁飞,9月份大田出现外迁高峰。田间白背飞虱起飞比率约为50%～65%,迁出峰期的每日迁出率约为80%。8月下旬白背飞虱一般已不构成危害。但20世纪90年代中期之后,白背飞虱8月份很少迁出而在迁入地大量滞留形成增殖代和主害代,危害时间大大延长,这与20世纪80年代的发生规律有了很大的不同。轨迹分析表明,8月中下旬从苏州迁出的个体中,40%可以到达江淮稻区,另有大约40%进入黄海和东海海域,若有强西南低空急流出现时则可跨海到达韩国和日本。9月份则主要是迁往我国的南方稻区,但很少可以直达岭南地区。     

白背飞虱的迁飞生物学:江苏苏州个例分析

对苏州市吴中区1984—2002年灯诱数据的分析表明,白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera(Horváth)的灯下始见期一般在6月上旬,而主迁峰日则一般出现在7月上旬。1996年后,始见期有提前的趋势。对18年灯诱虫量的时间序列分析表明,田间迁入代虫量与6月份的灯诱虫量相关,田间第1代虫量与迁入代虫量相关,第2代则只与田间第1代和8月份的诱虫量相关。对1986—2002年吴中区白背飞虱田间虫量的分析表明,白背飞虱在田间一般要完成2个世代,20世纪90年代中期之后会出现第3代,表现出低迁入率(平均百穴21头)、高增殖倍数(G1/G0在30～200倍左右)和高峰值密度(16年平均百穴3200头)的种群特征。此间白背飞虱长翅型成虫的比率不高,迁入后便像褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens(Stl)那样形成了滞留本地的增殖代(7月20日到8月10日)和以本地滞留为害与部分迁出个体混合而成的主害代(8月15日到9月5日),直到8月下旬和9月上中旬,其长翅型比率才会有大幅回升开始回迁,呈现出翅型长-短-长的变化模式。     

广东白背飞虱早期迁入种群的虫源地分析

为了揭示广东省白背飞虱早期迁入的虫源地分布,为其精细化预测预报及源头治理提供科学依据,根据广东省雷州、肇庆、曲江、梅县4个地区的白背飞虱虫情资料,利用HYSPLIT轨迹分析平台和GIS进行早期迁入峰的轨迹分析,结果表明:(1)广东白背飞虱的迁入在早稻和晚稻上各出现一段灯诱高峰,雷州出现的灯诱高峰最早,集中在4月上旬—5月下旬,其他地区集中在5—6月;(2)曲江、肇庆的白背飞虱灯诱高峰日数明显高于雷州、梅县;(3)广东白背飞虱早期迁入的虫源地主要分布在越南中北部、老挝中南部、海南以及两广南部稻区。但其虫源地的时空分布存在季节性的差异,随着时间的推移,虫源地的分布逐渐由南向北偏移。
