新疆北部马铃薯甲虫幼虫对常规杀虫剂的抗药性（英文）

为了了解并掌握马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)在新疆的抗性水平及动态, 为科学用药提供理论依据, 利用点滴法测定了新疆北部马铃薯甲虫6个田间种群(乌鲁木齐、 阜康、 昌吉、 阿勒泰、 尼勒克和特克斯) 的4龄幼虫对14种常规药剂的敏感性, 并测试了磷酸三苯酯（TPP）、 顺丁烯二酸二乙酯（DEM）和氧化胡椒基丁醚（PBO）的增效作用。结果表明: 与已报道的基线相比, 特克斯种群对几种药剂都敏感, 因此确定特克斯田间种群为敏感品系。与特克斯敏感品系相比, 昌吉种群对三氟氯氰菊酯、 溴氰菊酯、 克百威及丁硫克百威的抗性倍数分别为108.8, 30, 17.6和24.7, 而尼勒克种群对这4种药剂的抗性倍数分别为29.4, 42.5, 10.1和89.9。此外, 昌吉和阜康种群对高效氯氰菊酯也分别产生8.9和13.0倍的中等抗性。增效测定结果显示: 对于尼勒克种群, PBO对三氟氯氰菊酯有明显增效作用; 对于昌吉种群, PBO, TPP和DEM对克百威有明显增效作用。因此推断解毒酶活性增强可能是新疆马铃薯甲虫对三氟氯氰菊酯和克百威的抗性机制之一。由于增效作用不能完全消除抗性, 因此新疆马铃薯甲虫的抗药性还可能涉及到其他机制。

Effects and modes of action of citrus limonoids against Leptinotarsa decemlineata

ABSTRACT Limonin and its five derivatives were evaluated in feeding bioassays for depression effects on feeding, growth and development of the fourth stadium Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Epilimonol and limonin diosphenol were most effective in depression of feeding and growth, with ED₅₀s 10 and 8 μg/cm². At a dosage of 31.6 μg/cm², epilimonol, limonin diosphenol and limonin caused both significant feeding reduction and developmental delay, while deoxylimonol, tetrahydrolimonin and limonol were not effective. Mouth-part coating and antifeedant bioassays show that feeding inhibition at host acceptance level seems to be the primary mode of action of epilimonol and limonin diosphenol.     

Biological control potential of Turkish entomopathogenic nematodes against the Colorado potato beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Three Turkish isolates of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae, Steinernema feltiae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora were evaluated under laboratory conditions (in different temperatures and doses) for their biocontrol efficiency against last instar Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Herein, the effects of infective juveniles in aqueous suspension against L. decemlineata were evaluated. S. feltiae appeared to be the most pathogenic nematode among the tested species.     

Host-plant discrimination and evolution of feeding preference in the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata

ABSTRACT. The behaviour of newly emerged adult Colorado potato beetles on preferred hosts follows a stereotyped pattern of sampling, feeding, grooming and rest. Reduced meal sizes on less-preferred hosts is accompanied by increased sampling and frequent interruptions in feeding. A systematic increase in pre-ingestive sampling on less-preferred foodplants indicates that beetles discriminate among closely related species within the Solanaceae. This ability may depend primarily on stimuli perceived at, and near, the leaf surface. Three geographic populations of beetles have adapted to different local host plants, but have not lost their preference for feeding on an ancestral host species. Host shifts by oligophagous insects to related plant species may evolve through selection for feeding generalists in isolated populations, and may not require genetic changes affecting the perception of a particular novel host.     

Body movements and their role as triggers of heartbeats in pupae of the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Rhythmic body movements and their role as triggers of intermittent heartbeats were studied in pupae of Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. Heartbeats and body movements were recorded simultaneously by means of an optical method (infra‐red cardiography) combined with respirometry. IR‐cardiography allows heartbeats and body movements to be distinguished on the basis of their different rates (40–80 min^?1 and 4–8 min^?1, respectively) and amplitude. In the mid‐interecdysial period, abdominal movements in the pupae were always accompanied by heart activity beginning after the first 5–12 abdominal strokes. Simultaneous periods of abdominal movements and heartbeats lasted 2–5 min, while the intervening pause ranged from 40 to 72 min at 24°C. Experiments of forced heart activity showed that a slight external tactile stimulus (prodding once with a single hair), applied prior to an expected heartbeat bout, evoked abdominal movements followed soon afterwards by contractions of the dorsal vessel. Repeated prodding with a hair evoked body rotating movements (1–3 strokes) at any time with heartbeats starting at the first movement. We surmise that rhythmic body movements play an active role in the triggering of heart activity in pupae according to the principle of cardiac reflex response. This is a possible mechanism for synchronizing periods of heart activity with periods of rhythmic body movements. Haemolymph circulation in pupae is favoured when heartbeat bouts are accompanied by active body movements.     

Ecdysteroids and adult diapause in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

ABSTRACT. The difference in ecdysteroid activity in short-day (10-h photo-phase) and long-day (16-h photophase) Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say adults was characterized by high performance liquid chromatography, which revealed that for short-day beetles ecdysterone and ecdysone are the major constituents of the free ecdysteroids, whereas in long-day beetles products co-migrating with 2-deoxyecdysone and 2-deoxyecdysterone are just as abundant. Ecdysteroids were detected (15 ng/ml) only in the haemolymph of females. Ligation experiments showed that the induction of the diapause syndrome by inactivation of the corpora allata or the brain not only resulted in the formation of the typical diapause proteins but also in an increase of the ecdysteroid activity. It is suggested that adult diapause in L.decemlineata is regulated by a multifactorial system.     

Genetic relationships of introduced Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata populations in Xinjiang,China

The Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is an infamous invasive species worldwide that aggressively attacks potato and other Solanaceae crops. CPB was first found in China in 1993 and has since spread across 2.77 × 10⁵ km² in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. To better understand genetic variation and migration patterns, we used seven polymorphic microsatellite loci to elucidate the genetic relationships and gene flow among 10 CPB populations across Xinjiang. (i) Overall low levels of genetic diversity were detected on the entire population in Xinjiang but most of the diversity was retained among populations during invasion. (ii) The mean pairwise F_ST was low (0.071 ± 0.043) among populations. The genetic differentiation was little (pairwise F_ST 0.038 ± 0.016) between the five interior populations (Wusu, Urumqi, Jimsar, Qitai and Mulei) and Tacheng population. The six populations might come from the same genetic group via Bayesian clustering and were closely related on a neighbor‐joining tree. Combining the history data, the five interior populations may have originated from Tacheng. (iii) Gene flow was frequent, especially among the five interior populations. Individuals from the interior populations could be assigned to Tacheng at higher probabilities (means 0.518 ± 0.127) than vice versa (means 0.328 ± 0.074), suggesting that the beetle population has spread from the border to the interior in Xinjiang.     

Effect of diet and feeding history on flight of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

We evaluated the hypothesis that Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) (CPB) flight frequency is related to diet, and that it changes with duration of food unavailability or exposure to poor quality food by exposing adult overwintered and summer CPB populations to an acceptable host plant (conventional foliage), a poor host (insect resistant transgenic foliage expressing Bacillus thuringiensis tenebrionis[Btt] Cry3a toxin) and no host. Exposure to poor host and no host treatments (with or without water) decreased mean daily flight frequencies and the overall number of overwintered CPB flying, but increased the mean daily flight frequency and number of summer population CPB that flew. Overwintered CPB did not react to an absence of plants at emergence whereas summer CPB increased mean daily flight frequencies when plants and water were not available. The flight response to insect resistant foliage was similar to that for starvation treatments in both populations indicating that flight may not be triggered by Btt toxins but by starvation brought on by feeding on poor quality food. Flight was observed in all treatments for the duration of the test with two exceptions; overwintered beetles fed insect resistant foliage ceased flying after day 17 and summer beetles starved without water ceased after day 8 of a 29‐day study.     

Sequencing and characterization of a cDNA encoding a ferritin subunit of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

A differentially expressed cDNA fragment (P311) from Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), was identified by restriction fragment differential display-polymerase chain reaction (RFDD-PCR) technique, and showed a strong similarity to ferritin heavy chain subunits of other organisms. Based on P311, we constructed specific primers and obtained a 840-bp cDNA fragment spanning the open reading frame of CPB ferritin subunit using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technique. The sequence encodes 213 amino acid residues, including a 19 amino acid signal peptide. The sequence has a conserved cysteine in the N-terminus and has the seven conserved residues that comprise the ferroxidase center, which is the feature of heavy chain ferritins of vertebrates. The CPB ferritin subunit has high amino acid sequence identity with the Apriona germari (69.3%), Galleria mellonela (54.5%), Manduca sexta (54.0%), Drosophila melanogaster (53.2%), Calpodes ethlius (51.4%), and Nilaparvata lugens (47.6%) but lower identity with the Anopheles gambiae (38.7%) and Aedes aegypti (37.8%). Using Northern blot analysis, the subunit mRNA was identified from fat body and midgut of 4th instars with much higher mRNA levels found in midgut than that in fat body (2.5-fold). Nevertheless, only the levels of mRNA in fat body was induced by dexamethasone (1.5-fold).     

Differential responses of galeal gustatory sensilla of the adult Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), to leaf saps from host and non-host plants

ABSTRACT Responses of galeal sensilla of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), to leaf sap from Solanum tuberosum and a number of other solanaceous and non-solanaceous plants are described. A single cell responds vigorously to expressed sap from S.tuberosum , -and even to ten-fold dilutions of expressed sap. The response is characterized by a high spike frequency, low phasic activity and a tonic phase which can last for tens of seconds. At 8 s following stimulus application the primary response is typically 50% of its original activity, indicating slow adaptation to the sap stimulus. The primary response varies little among multiple stimulations of single sensilla and among sensilla on the same animal. There is a secondary response to potato leaf sap from one or more cells which have low spike amplitudes. This is usually of much lower frequency than the response from the primary cell, and it is highly variable.
The prominent and reproducible single cell response to potato sap may be an important component in signalling the presence of a host plant. This hypothesis is tested using saps from two other species of Solanum which are hosts, and several solanaceous and non-solanaceous non-hosts. Responses of galeal sensilla to the three host-plants tested were qualitatively similar and reproducible while responses to the non-hosts were highly variable and qualitatively different from responses to host saps. These results are interpreted and discussed in the context of a possible mechanism for chemosensory coding of complex stimuli in the insect/plant relationship.
Analysis of the raw electrophysiological data required extensive use of a microcomputer and several programs were developed during the course of this study. The computer analyses are briefly described in the paper and additional information and copies of the programs are available from the authors.
