Cry1Ie毒素胁迫下亚洲玉米螟的抗性发展及汰选种群对其他Bt毒素的交互抗性

亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) 是危害玉米的重要害虫之一, 转Bt基因抗虫玉米为其防治提供了新的途径。然而, 靶标害虫产生抗性将严重阻碍Bt制剂及转Bt基因抗虫玉米的持续应用。明确害虫对转Bt基因玉米表达的毒素蛋白的抗性演化, 对于制定科学有效的抗性治理策略具有重要的理论和实际意义。本实验通过人工饲料汰选法研究了Bt Cry1Ie毒素胁迫下亚洲玉米螟的抗性发展及汰选14代的种群对其他Bt毒素（Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac和Cry1Fa）的交互抗性, 并观察了Cry1Ie蛋白胁迫对亚洲玉米螟生物学的影响。结果表明： 随着汰选压不断提高, 亚洲玉米螟种群对Cry1Ie毒素的敏感性逐渐下降。汰选14代后, 种群对Cry1Ie毒素的抗性水平提高了23倍。然而, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac和Cry1Fa对所获Cry1Ie汰选种群的毒力与对敏感种群的毒力相比没有显著差异, 说明Cry1Ie汰选没有引起亚洲玉米螟对Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac和Cry1Fa毒素产生交互抗性。同时, 与敏感种群相比, Cry1Ie汰选14代的种群幼虫平均发育历期延长5.7 d, 蛹重减轻13.7%, 单雌产卵量下降40.0%。本研究结果说明, 大面积单一种植转cry1Ie基因抗虫玉米, 可能引起亚洲玉米螟产生抗性; 亚洲玉米螟Cry1Ie抗性种群对Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac和Cry1Fa没有交互抗性, 含有cry1Ie和cry1Ab, cry1Ac或cry1F双/多基因抗虫玉米, 可作为靶标害虫抗性治理的重要策略。     

小菜蛾对溴虫腈抗性筛选、风险评估及交互抗性研究

溴虫腈是目前防治小菜蛾的主要杀虫剂之一,为评估其抗性风险,在室内采用浸叶法,用溴虫腈亚致死剂量对小菜蛾3龄幼虫进行抗性筛选,筛选18代时应用域性状分析法进行抗性风险评估及交互抗性测定。结果表明:小菜蛾饲养20代,用溴虫腈筛选18代,与起始种群相比,抗性增长48.2倍。域性状分析法估算得小菜蛾对溴虫腈的抗性现实遗传力为0.465,且前半段筛选的抗性遗传力(0.563)远大于后半段筛选的抗性遗传力(0.078)。在现实遗传力为室内估算值的一半,死亡率为80%-90%时,预计小菜蛾对溴虫腈抗性增加10倍,仅需要6.6-8.3代。交互抗性测定结果表明,小菜蛾对溴虫腈产生抗性后,对阿维菌素、虱螨脲、氯虫苯甲酰胺、多杀菌素和茚虫威无交互抗性,但对丁醚脲可能具有交互抗性。结果显示:小菜蛾具有对溴虫腈产生高水平抗性的风险,但可通过与没有交互抗性的杀虫剂的轮用来延缓抗性的发展。     

甜菜夜蛾对虫酰肼的抗性选育、风险评估及交互抗性

虫酰肼是目前防治甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua（Hübner）的一种主要杀虫剂,为评估其抗性风险,在室内进行了抗性筛选和交互抗性的研究。采用饲料感染法,在甜菜夜蛾饲养75代期间用虫酰肼筛选62代,与起始种群相比抗性上升39.2倍,与室内敏感品系相比抗性上升141.3倍。在筛选的早、中、后期,现实遗传力h²分别为0.1075（F₀～F₂₅）、0.2780（F₂₆～F₅₀）和0.0538（F₅₁～F₇₅）,整个筛选62代现实遗传力为0.1556。抗性种群筛选43次（F55）后停止用药筛选,饲养21代后,与敏感品系相比,抗性水平由63.5倍下降到21倍,抗性下降3倍。说明甜菜夜蛾具有对虫酰肼产生抗性的风险,且抗性衰退缓慢,短期内很难恢复到敏感水平。交互抗性测定结果表明,上述室内选育的抗性品系对甲氧虫酰肼具有71.4倍的高水平交互抗性,对阿维菌素具有13.1倍的中等水平交互抗性,对甲维盐、茚虫威和呋喃虫酰肼分别具有7.0、8.4和4.7倍的低水平交互抗性,但对溴虫腈交互抗性不明显（1.9倍）。结果提示： 间断交替使用虫酰肼可以延缓抗性的发展,但除溴虫腈外,虫酰肼和其他几种新型杀虫剂之间的轮用可能不是甜菜夜蛾抗性治理的有效策略。     

小菜蛾对定虫隆抗性种群的选育及交互抗性研究

用昆虫生长调节剂(insect growth regulator,简称IGR)定虫隆(chlorfluazuron)对源自深圳田间的小菜蛾(SZ-S)Plutella xylostella(L.)在室内进行抗性种群选育,经过8代饲养和6次药剂汰选,获得抗性种群(CH-R),与相对敏感种群Sz—S比较,抗性指数(R1)为23.78倍。CH-R种群在去除选择压力条件下饲养5代,抗性逐渐下降。抗性汰选前后分别测定了10种药剂的剂量—死亡毒力回归线,发现CH—R抗性种群对三氟氯氰菊酯、氯氰菊酯、辛硫磷、喹硫磷、灭多威、磺胺脲类衍生物—杀螨隆、微生物杀虫剂Bt和齐墩螨素无明显交互抗性,抗性倍数为0.4-1.7;对两种沙蚕毒素类杀虫剂杀螟丹和杀虫丹的敏感性却有所上升,有负交互抗性趋势。活体增效剂试验表明,增效醚(PBO)和三苯基磷酸酯(TPP)对定虫隆均有一定的增效活性,PBO的增效比最高为29倍,能够完全抑制对定虫隆的抗性,说明多功能氧化酶可能是主导抗性机制之一。     

西花蓟马对吡虫啉的抗性机制及交互抗性研究

为了解西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis(Pergande)对吡虫啉的抗性风险,本文就吡虫啉的交互抗性和抗性机制(增效剂和酶活性)进行了研究。结果表明,经过35代筛选,西花蓟马对吡虫啉的抗性上升到21.26倍。西花蓟马对吡虫啉与阿维菌素和甲维盐存在中等水平交互抗性,与氯氟氰菊酯、灭多威和毒死蜱存在低水平交互抗性。增效剂试验表明,三丁基三硫磷酸酯(DEF)、磷酸三苯酯(TPP)和马来酸二乙酯(DEM)具有显著增效(SR50,DEF=6.38,SR50,TPP=5.52,SR50,DEM=1.60,P<0.05)。生化测定表明:抗吡虫啉品系西花蓟马的羧酸酯酶(5.06倍)和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶酶活性(1.63倍)均显著(P<0.05)高于敏感品系,表明羧酸酯酶和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶酶活性的提高是西花蓟马对吡虫啉产生抗药性的主要原因。

棉蚜啶虫脒抗性种群交互抗性和增效剂增效作用的研究

【目的】明确棉蚜Aphis gossypii Glover啶虫脒抗性品系与其它杀虫剂的交互抗性现状以及增效剂的增效作用,为延缓和治理棉蚜对啶虫脒的抗性提供依据。【方法】采用单头反选育和群体汰选的方式,获得了棉蚜啶虫脒敏感和抗性品系;采用叶片药膜法测定了13种杀虫剂对啶虫脒的交互抗性以及增效剂对啶虫脒的增效作用。【结果】经过室内棉蚜敏感和抗性品系的筛选,获得了相对抗性倍数为82.33倍的棉蚜啶虫脒抗性品系。棉蚜啶虫脒抗性品系的交互抗性谱的研究表明,交互抗性倍数小于5的药剂为:吡蚜酮,甲基阿维菌素;交互抗性倍数在5~10倍的药剂为:噻虫嗪,联苯菊酯,毒死蜱,马拉硫磷,丙溴磷,辛硫磷;交互抗性倍数在10~15倍的药剂为:硫丹,阿维菌素,高效氯氰菊酯,三唑磷,氧化乐果;交互抗性倍数大于1 5倍的药剂为:吡虫啉。增效剂实验表明,TPP和PBO在啶虫脒敏感品系中增效作用不明显,但在抗性品系中增效作用显著。在啶虫脒抗性品系中的增效比为1.77、1.61,在啶虫脒敏感品系中的增效比为1.02、1.03。DEM在啶虫脒抗性、敏感品系中的增效作用均不明显,增效比为1.04、1.02。TPP和PBO对啶虫脒有很好的增效作用。以室内棉蚜敏感品系(LC_(50)为0.180 mg/L)为基础,对新疆各主要棉区的棉蚜种群进行了啶虫脒药剂的抗性调查,结果表明新疆各主要棉区棉蚜对啶虫脒的相对抗性倍数为6.1~22.0倍。【结论】由此说明新疆主要棉区棉蚜对啶虫脒具有一定的抗性风险,生产中可以利用无交互抗性的吡蚜酮和甲基阿维菌素来治理抗性棉蚜种群。     

西花蓟马抗辛硫磷种群的抗性机制及交互抗性

为明确西花蓟马对辛硫磷的抗性风险,研究了西花蓟马抗辛硫磷种群对其他杀虫剂的交互抗性及其对辛硫磷的抗性机制.交互抗性测定结果表明,西花蓟马抗辛硫磷种群对辛硫磷与毒死蜱、高效氯氟氰菊酯和灭多威存在中等水平的交互抗性,对溴虫腈、吡虫啉、甲维盐和多杀菌素存在低水平交互抗性,对啶虫脒和阿维菌素不存在交互抗性.酶抑制剂与辛硫磷的增效剂测定结果表明,胡椒基丁醚(PBO)、三丁基三硫磷酸酯(DEF)和磷酸三苯酯(TPP)对西花蓟马抗辛硫磷种群(XK)、田间种群(BJ)和敏感种群(S)均起到了显著的增效作用(P＜0.05),马来酸二乙酯对西花蓟马抗辛硫磷种群和敏感种群增效作用均不显著,但对田间种群增效作用显著(P＜0.05).生化测定发现:除田间种群西花蓟马乙酰胆碱酯酶活性提高不显著外,西花蓟马抗辛硫磷种群和田间种群的细胞色素P450含量(2.79和1.48倍)、细胞色素b5含量(2.88和1.88倍)及O-脱甲基酶活性(2.60和1.68倍)、羧酸酯酶活性(2.02和1.61倍)和乙酰胆碱酯酶活性(3.10倍)均显著高于敏感种群(P＜0.05);谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶酶活性也有一定程度提高(1.11和1.20倍),但不显著(P＞0.05).表明其体内解毒代谢酶和靶标酶活性提高是西花蓟马对辛硫磷产生抗性的重要原因.     

棉铃虫对氰戊菊酯-辛硫磷混剂的抗性演化及解毒酶活性变化

用氰戊菊酯-辛硫磷混剂（有效成分1∶10,简称氰-辛混剂）对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera室内品系(YS)进行16代的抗性选育,获得棉铃虫对氰-辛混剂的抗性品系（YS-FP）。YS-FP品系与YS品系相比,对氰-辛混剂的抗性为14.7倍,对其中的单剂氰戊菊酯和辛硫磷的抗性分别为2 170倍和3.1倍。随着筛选的进行,氰戊菊酯和辛硫磷之间的共毒系数在F₂代出现短暂的增加,然后逐渐降低,它们之间的互作由增效变为拮抗。交互抗性测定结果表明,YS-FP品系对氯氰菊酯、溴氰菊酯、三氟氯氰菊酯、三唑磷和灭多威产生了明显的交互抗性,对硫丹、多杀菌素和爱玛菌素没有产生交互抗性。YS-FP品系6龄幼虫中肠细胞色素P450氧化酶甲氧基香豆素O-脱甲基活性为YS品系的10倍,3龄幼虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶和酯酶活性分别是YS品系的1.7倍（CDNB结合作用）和2.4倍（α-NA 酯酶水解作用）。氰-辛混剂的筛选导致了棉铃虫多种解毒酶活性的增加,特别是细胞色素P450氧化酶活性增强最为明显。本研究结果表明氰-辛混剂对棉铃虫的筛选导致了广谱的交互抗性和多种代谢抗性机理,并且两个单剂之间的互作由增效变为拮抗,因此氰 辛混剂在棉铃虫抗性治理中的作用是有限的和暂时的。     

酯酶同功酶在分析亚洲玉米螟抗药性中的应用

以聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法对室内选育的亚洲玉米螟(Ostrinia furnacalis(Guenèe))抗杀灭菊酯和抗呋喃丹品系的酯酶同功酶进行分析,并与感性品系比较,差异十分明显,为鉴别害虫抗药性的遗传变异提供了有价值的依据,并从方法学的几个侧面进行探讨,为广泛研究害虫抗药性机理做一些基础工作。     

Survival of kansas dipel-resistant European corn borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) on Bt and non-Bt corn hybrids

The Kansas Dipel-resistant and susceptible European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), were evaluated in the greenhouse on different Bt transgenic events expressed in corn hybrids. There were important differences in the resistance offered by the different Bt event corn hybrids. Hybrid comparison tests indicate that these Dipel-resistant first-instar European corn borer were not able to survive to adulthood on whorl-stage MON810, Bt11, or 176 Bt event corn plants. Third instars did not survive to adulthood on whorl-stage MON810 or Bt11 event corn plants but a small number of fifth instars were found on whorl-stage DBT418 plants infested with Dipel-resistant larvae. First and third instars of these Dipel-resistant European corn borers caused more leaf-feeding damage and more tunneling on whorl-stage Bt-corn plants than did the Dipel-susceptible European corn borers. However, in the single Bt corn hybrid test, there was no survival of the Dipel-resistant European corn borers on DK580BtX or MAX454 Bt plants 35 to 42 d after they had been infested with first instars. These results demonstrate that the current Kansas selection of Dipel-resistant European corn borer strain cannot establish reproducing populations in the tested Bt corn lines and hybrids.     

Impact on Bacterial Community in Midguts of the Asian Corn Borer Larvae by Transgenic Trichoderma Strain Overexpressing a Heterologous chit42 Gene with Chitin-Binding Domain

This paper is the first report of the impact on the bacterial community in the midgut of the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) by the chitinase from the transgenic Trichoderma strain. In this study, we detected a change of the bacterial community in the midgut of the fourth instar larvae by using a culture-independent method. Results suggested that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the most highly represented phyla, being present in all the midgut bacterial communities. The observed species richness was simple, ranging from four to five of all the 16S rRNA clone libraries. When using Trichoderma fermentation liquids as additives, the percentages of the dominant flora in the total bacterial community in larval midgut changed significantly. The community of the genus Ochrobactrum in the midgut decreased significantly when the larvae were fed with the fermentation liquids of the transgenic Trichoderma strain Mc4. However, the Enterococcus community increased and then occupied the vacated niche of the Ochrobactrum members. Furthermore, the Shannon–Wiener (H) and the Simpson (1-D) indexes of the larval midgut bacterial library treated by feeding fermentation liquids of the transgenic Trichoderma strain Mc4 was the lowest compared with the culture medium, fermentation liquids of the wild type strain T30, and the sterile artificial diet. The Enterococcus sp. strain was isolated and characterized from the healthy larvae midgut of the Asian corn borer. An infection study of the Asian corn borer larvae using Enterococcus sp. ACB-1 revealed that a correlation existed between the increased Enterococcus community in the larval midgut and larval mortality. These results demonstrated that the transgenic Trichoderma strain could affect the composition of the midgut bacterial community. The change of the midgut bacterial community might be viewed as one of the factors resulting in the increased mortality of the Asian corn borer larvae.     

Impact of plant resistance on southwestern corn borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) biology and plant damage

Southwestern corn borer, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major insect pest of corn, Zea mays L., in the southern United States. Germplasm lines with resistance to southwestern corn borer have been developed and released by the USDA-ARS. Two single-cross hybrids produced by crossing germplasm lines with resistance to southwestern corn borer and a susceptible single-cross hybrid were infested with southwestern corn borer larvae in a 2-yr field test conducted in Mississippi. The susceptible hybrid sustained significantly more leaf damage and stalk tunneling than either resistant hybrid. The number of tunnels and the length of tunneling were significantly lower on the resistant hybrids. In 2003, up to 15 times more tunneling was observed on the susceptible hybrid. Larvae feeding on the resistant hybrids were delayed in their movement from the whorl to the stalk and larval survival was 50% lower on the resistant hybrids than on the susceptible hybrid. Larvae recovered from the susceptible hybrid 7-14 d after infestation weighed twice as much as those recovered from the resistant hybrids. Similar differences in larval weight were observed in the laboratory when larvae were reared on diets prepared from lyophilized tissue from the three hybrids. These results provide a foundation for other investigations designed to identify and determine the roles of specific genes and gene families associated with southwestern corn borer resistance in corn.     

Evaluation of transgenic Bt corn for resistance to the Asian corn borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), is the most important insect pest on corn in China. Bt transgenic corn provides a new tool for Asian corn borer control. Monsanto's YieldGard Bt transgenic corn expressing Cry1Ab protein, and a non-Bt control, were evaluated in Beijing. Laboratory bioassays were carried out by exposing neonates to an agar-free diet containing Bt corn whorl leaves, tassels, and anthers, or by exposing neonates directly to fresh silk and pollen. These are the tissues initially attacked by neonates in the field. All of these tissues, with the exception of pollen, contained sufficient insecticidal protein to kill > or = 95% of larvae within 7 d. Surviving larvae had also not grown beyond first instar and weighed < or = 0.1 mg. Although larvae feeding on Bt corn pollen were significantly smaller than those on non-Bt corn pollen, there was no significant difference in mortality. Field trials were also conducted with artificial infestations of Asian corn borer at mid whorl, late whorl, and silking stages. Damage ratings and number of larvae surviving per plant indicated that Bt corn was highly resistant to Asian corn borer. Therefore, YieldGard offers the potential for season-long protection against first- and second-generation Asian corn borer.     

Volatiles induced by the larvae of the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) in maize plants affect behavior of conspecific larvae and female adults

Abstract  Effects of maize ( Zea mays L.) volatiles induced by larvae of the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), on the orientation behaviors of Asian corn borer larvae and oviposition of the females were investigated. Nineteen volatile chemicals, with terpenes being the major components, were identified from maize plants attacked by third instar Asian corn borer larvae. Coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) analyses revealed some electroantennographic differences between female and male Asian corn borer antennae in response to larvae-induced maize volatiles; female responded to ( E )-2-hexenal, nonanal, ( Z )-3-hexen-1-ol and three unknown compounds while the male only responded to ( E )-2-hexenal, nonanal and one unknown compound. In laboratory orientation bioassays, Asian corn borer neonate larvae were attracted to extracts collected from Asian corn borer-damaged plants as well as to synthetic farnesene, but were repelled by ( Z )-3-hexen-1-ol. In laboratory oviposition bioassays, gravid females laid fewer eggs on plants damaged by larvae than on mechanically damaged plants or undamaged plants. Adult Asian corn borer females deposited fewer eggs on wax paper treated with ( E )-2-hexenal or ( Z )-3-hexen-1-ol than on wax paper treated with hexane (control). The results suggest that Asian corn borer can affect the behaviors of conspecific larvae and adults by changing host plant volatiles.     

甘蔗、玉米气味对亚洲玉米螟成虫产卵和幼虫取食的影响

【目的】农作物间套作对害虫的影响很大程度上取决于害虫的行为反应,通过研究玉米/甘蔗套作系统中植物气味对亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis(Guenee)行为的影响,将为利用化学生态手段防治套作田中的害虫提供依据。【方法】通过昆虫触角电位实验、成虫产卵和幼虫取食实验,测定了甘蔗、玉米植株及二氯甲烷漂洗物对亚洲玉米螟成虫产卵、幼虫取食的影响。【结果】亚洲玉米螟成虫在甘蔗植株上的落卵量(卵粒数、卵块数)与玉米植株差异不显著,取食甘蔗植株的幼虫数量显著低于玉米植株。亚洲玉米螟对甘蔗、玉米叶片漂洗物均可产生EAG反应,且在同一浓度下的反应值之间无显著差异。成虫产卵量(卵粒数、卵块数)在0.1 gE/mL浓度的甘蔗和玉米漂洗物间差异不显著;幼虫对经甘蔗叶片漂洗物处理过的饲料的相对取食率均低于65.00%,显著低于玉米漂洗物处理的饲料。【结论】甘蔗和玉米气味对亚洲玉米螟产卵的影响没有差异,但甘蔗气味会导致初孵幼虫表现出很强的逃逸行为。     

Fitness cost associated with carbosulfan resistance in Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

In order to collect basic information for a resistance management program of Aphis gossypii Glover to carbosulfan, studies to evaluate fitness costs associated to this resistance were conducted under laboratory conditions. For this purpose, we studied the stability of carbosulfan resistance in A. gossypii populations with differing initial frequencies of resistance and compared life-history traits of carbosulfan-susceptible and resistant strains. The stability of resistance was followed in three populations with initial frequencies of 20, 50 and 80% of resistant individuals. The susceptibility to carbosulfan was monthly estimated by using the diagnostic concentration of 32 ppm. The biology of carbosulfan-susceptible and resistant strains was evaluated in cotton plants kept under controlled climatic conditions. The resistance to carbosulfan was unstable, that is, there was a significant increase in the susceptibility of different populations of A. gossypii to this insecticide in the absence of selection pressure. Comparison of biological traits between carbosulfan-susceptible and resistant strains showed that there is a fitness cost associated with resistance. The resistant strain showed lower fecundity, shorter reproductive period and lower longevity than the susceptible strain. The net reproductive rate (Ro) was 14.04 and 43.18 and the finite rate of increase (lambda) was 1.25 and 1.30 females/female/day for the resistant and susceptible strains respectively. Therefore, the instability of carbosulfan resistance in A. gossypii can be exploited in resistance management programs.     

Bt抗、感种群亚洲玉米螟幼虫取食Bt玉米后Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白在其体内的组织分布与含量

采用ELISA方法检测了实验室汰选的对Cry1Ab产生107倍抗性的亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée)种群与敏感种群3龄幼虫取食表达Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白的Bt玉米心叶后,杀虫蛋白在幼虫体内的分布情况。结果表明：Cry1Ab杀虫蛋白在抗性种群幼虫中的组织分布情况与敏感种群相近,主要存在于中肠组织和血淋巴中。抗、感种群中均以含有内含物的中肠组织中含量最高,分别为277.2 ng/g 和104.9 ng/g;其次为血淋巴,分别为93.7 ng/g 和69.5 ng/g;不含内含物的中肠组织中52.7 ng/g 和40.1 ng/g;在丝腺和马氏管组织的含量很低,丝腺中分别为8.5 ng/g和11.7ng/g,而马氏管中分别为6.7 ng/g和6.5 ng/g。脂肪体、生殖器官中未检测到杀虫蛋白。抗性种群中肠组织(含有内含物和不含内含物)中Cry1Ab的含量显著高于敏感种群。幼虫期取食过Bt玉米的亚洲玉米螟发育的蛹、成虫及其卵中均不含杀虫蛋白,说明Bt杀虫蛋白不会通过幼虫取食向蛹、成虫及卵传递。
