Detoxifying symbionts in agriculturally important pest insects

Pest insects lead to excessive agricultural and therefore economical losses on crops worldwide. These insects have to withstand toxic molecules that are inherent to plant defences, as well as those that are produced and introduced by humans in the form of insecticides. In recent years, research on insect–microbe symbioses has recognized that microbial symbionts may play a role protecting against these toxins, leading to a form of defensive symbiosis between the pest insect and different types of microorganisms that we term detoxifying symbioses. In this minireview, we will highlight well‐characterized and emerging insect model systems of detoxifying symbioses and assess how the microorganisms influence the host's success.     

Food-deprived host-feeding parasitoids kill more pest insects

Some parasitoids not only parasitize their hosts but also destructively feed on them which could result in host mortality. We hypothesized that host-feeding parasitoids that are food-deprived before being released for biological control would destructively feed on more hosts, and an optimal duration of food deprivation of parasitoids would enhance host feeding without negatively affecting parasitism. We investigated the effects of food-deprivation durations (0, 3, 6, 10, 24 h and 20% honey solution offered), before being released, on the host mortality and parasitism by a destructive host-feeding parasitoid of whitefly nymphs, Encarsia sophia (Girault & Dodd) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae). In another experiment, we compared host feeding, parasitization and longevity throughout the lifespan between food-deprived and non-food-deprived parasitoids. Using fourth-instar Bemisia tabaci B biotype as the host, the responses of E. sophia differed significantly with the durations of food deprivation before they were exposed to their hosts. E. sophia adults food-deprived for 6 h killed more hosts through feeding than those that were food-deprived for 0, 3, 10 and 24 h or those that were fed with honey solution. Moreover, parasitoids that were food-deprived for 6 h parasitized more hosts than those held for other durations of food deprivation. Similar results on host-feeding were found when third-instar whitefly nymphs were used. We confirmed that E. sophia food-deprived for 6 h not only killed more whiteflies through host feeding, but also lived significantly longer and parasitized more hosts than the non-food-deprived ones throughout their lifespan. Our results could be extended to improve the effectiveness of augmentative biological control of pests through improved host feeding and parasitizing capacity by starving the parasitoids for a certain period of time before they will be used.

Identification of sex-associated protein in the preputial gland of house rat (a new insight in rodent pest management)

Our recent findings revealed that the preputial gland of male house rat contains 20 kDa protein, however, the role of androgen in the production of this protein is not known. Hence, the present study was carried out to evaluate the androgen dependency of 20 kDa protein in the preputial gland of house rat (Rattus rattus) and to compare its presence in female clitoral gland. Further, on castration the amount of glandular protein in male was significantly decreased to a certain extent, while testosterone treatment on castrated males showed an increasing trend. The electrophorogram of male house rat showed six different protein fractions with molecular weights of 90, 70, 60, 50, 35 and 20 kDa. However, the 70, 60, 50 and 35 kDa were absent in female. Among the different fractions, 90 and 20 kDa proteins were prominent. On castration, the 20 kDa protein was disappeared; while on testosterone treatment the protein reappeared. Thus, the present study concludes that the 20 kDa protein is a testosterone dependent sex-associated protein. Since urinary protein is found to act as carrier for volatile substances in pheromonal communication. The present study suggests that the glandular protein may bind with the volatile compounds produced from preputial gland. Identification of this carrier protein in the preputial gland explores the possibility of developing pheromonal trap for rodent pest management (RPM).     

植食性昆虫学习行为与害虫治理的关系

植食性昆虫的学习行为一般具有习惯性反应、厌恶性学习、联系性学习、敏感性反应、嗜好性诱导几种类型,它们对害虫防治方法的效果具有重要影响。害虫通过嗜好性诱导对栖境中大面积单作农作物造成更大的危害,通过联系性学习可对诱虫植物的效果产生积极或消极的影响。害虫对驱避剂或杀虫剂等产生习惯性反应可降低其防治效果。害虫对寄主植物驱避抗性产生习惯性学习就会加重对作物的为害,产生厌恶性学习则有利于对作物的保护。利用害虫的联系性学习行为,释放前让不育雄虫学习自然交配场所的环境刺激,可增强通过释放不育雄虫控制害虫的防治效果。了解植食性昆虫学习行为对害虫治理的影响有助于研究和发展有效的栖境调控、行为调控等策略和方法。     

一种基于LED灯的自适应捕虫方法

害虫对光的敏感波长是随害虫种类、 季节等因素变化而变化, 传统捕虫灯存在发光波长类型较少、 灯与灯之间独立工作不通信的问题, 会造成捕虫灯捕虫有效性低、 能源浪费等问题。为了解决单个捕虫灯发光波长的单一性和多灯独立工作问题, 本研究通过理论分析和相应的系统设计, 得出多个灯捕虫量的最大期望值, 提出了单灯的多波长性实现方法和多灯的协调工作算法。其中单灯的多波长性是基于LED灯多波长性、 低功耗性、 易于维护等性质提出的; 多灯的协调工作算法是指通过中心节点灯与各节点灯的协调通信, 使单灯可自适应控制自身发光波长, 最终使网络中大部分节点灯波长为最佳波长, 小部分节点灯为非最佳波长, 这种方法在实现捕虫高效性的同时, 可实时监测虫种类变化, 达到自适应捕虫方法的最优化。最后通过野外实地试验验证了模拟简化的自适应捕虫方法, 结果证实了本方法在技术上的可行性和高效性。由此使这种LED捕虫灯可以方便地用于山地等复杂的野外环境中, 其中多灯的联合协作工作, 使每个捕虫灯自适应的改变发光波长, 提高了此方法的捕虫效率。     

Riding the Trojan horse: combating pest insects with their own symbionts

Insects form an extremely large group of animals and bear a consequently large variety of associated microbes. This microbiota includes very specific and obligate symbionts that provide essential functions to the host, and facultative partners that are not necessarily required for survival. The Tephritidae is a large family that includes many fruit pests such as the Mediterranean fruit fly (the medfly, Ceratitis capitata) and the Olive fly (Bactrocera oleae). Community and functional analyses showed that the microbiota of both flies contribute to their diet, and affect host fitness parameters. The analysis of the microbiota's community structure of mass‐reared, sterilized medfly males used in the sterile insect technique revealed a strong reduction in Klebsiella spp. compared with non‐sterile and wild flies. Inoculation of sterile males with this gut population affected female mating behaviour as they preferentially mated with inoculated versus non‐inoculated males. These studies suggest that control can be significantly improved by manipulating symbionts in pest animals.
