普通卷甲虫肠道可培养细菌的分离、鉴定及产消化酶活性

目的分离培养普通卷甲虫肠道中的可培养细菌,筛选有产消化酶活性的细菌,推测其在协助普通卷甲虫消化食物中的作用。方法通过传统分离培养法分离普通卷甲虫肠道中的可培养细菌,利用平板透明圈法筛选产淀粉酶、蛋白酶、纤维素酶和脂肪酶活性的细菌,利用水解圈与菌落直径的比值,比较不同细菌的产消化酶活性。利用SPSS 20.0软件进行统计学分析,组间比较采用单因素方差分析。结果在普通卷甲虫肠道中分离出4个属9种细菌,其中气单胞菌属3种,假芽胞杆菌属和柠檬酸杆菌属各2种,芽胞杆菌属和假单胞菌属各1种。9种细菌中弗氏柠檬酸杆菌、豚鼠气单胞菌、南海假芽胞杆菌等3种细菌可产蛋白酶,嗜水气单胞菌、波特卡伦柠檬酸杆菌、水生气单胞菌、豚鼠气单胞菌和南海假芽胞杆菌等5种细菌可产纤维素酶,嗜水气单胞菌、波特卡伦柠檬酸杆菌、印度芽胞杆菌、水生气单胞菌、嗜盐假芽胞杆菌、豚鼠气单胞菌和南海假芽胞杆菌等7种细菌可产淀粉酶,未筛选到产脂肪酶细菌。统计学分析表明,3种产蛋白酶细菌和5种产纤维素酶细菌的产酶活性差异无统计学意义。而7种产淀粉酶细菌产酶的活力间差异有统计学意义,水生气单胞菌的产淀粉酶活性能力最强。结论普通卷甲虫肠道可培养细菌结构简单,但有消化酶活性的细菌种类多,5种细菌有产2种以上消化酶功能,说明肠道细菌可能在普通卷甲虫食物消化中起着重要作用。     

PFOS对蚯蚓急性毒性和回避行为的影响

全氟辛烷磺酰基化合物(PFOS)作为一种新型持久性有机污染物,已经成为环境科学和毒理学的研究热点,其对生态环境的影响值得深入研究.本文采用OECD标准滤纸接触法、人工土壤法及自然土壤法研究了PFOS对蚯蚓急性致死作用及回避行为的影响.结果表明： PFOS对蚯蚓的急性毒性作用与染毒时间和染毒浓度相关,试验求得滤纸法48 h、人工土壤法14 d和自然土壤法14 d的LC₅₀值分别为13.64 μg·cm^-2、955.28 mg·kg^-1和542.08 mg·kg^-1;人工土壤和自然土壤中蚯蚓在PFOS的最大试验浓度组160 mg·kg^-1中均表现出显著的回避行为,表明蚯蚓可以明显感知较高浓度PFOS污染土壤并作出回避反应.与急性毒性试验的测试终点LC₅₀相比,蚯蚓行为测试终点对PFOS的反应更为敏感.自然土壤中PFOS对蚯蚓的急性毒性大于人工土壤,相同浓度PFOS作用下,蚯蚓于自然土壤中的回避行为较人工土壤明显.     

不同寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用

随着马铃薯甲虫不断扩展其分布范围,其对寄主的适应性也在发生变化。在我国,马铃薯甲虫的主要寄主植物是马铃薯、茄子、番茄和天仙子。为进一步明确马铃薯甲虫对不同寄主植物的嗜食程度,研究了以上4种寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用,以及取食量的影响,同时进行了田间寄主选择性的调查。选择性试验结果表明:不同寄主植物对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用差异显著,其中马铃薯、天仙子引诱作用显著高于茄子和番茄;取食量研究结果表明:马铃薯甲虫各龄期对不同寄主24 h取食量的大小依次为:马铃薯>茄子>天仙子>番茄;1—2龄幼虫取食量小,3—4龄幼虫及成虫暴食寄主叶片,是马铃薯甲虫造成危害的主要阶段。     

温度对马铃薯甲虫生长发育的影响

为了进一步明确温度对马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)生长发育的影响, 在恒温条件, 研究了温度对马铃薯甲虫实验种群生长发育的影响。结果表明：温度对马铃薯甲虫各虫态的发育历期、存活率及种群的繁殖力有显著的影响。发育历期随温度的升高而缩短, 发育速率与温度呈显著的正相关。马铃薯甲虫世代存活率由大到小的顺序为27℃＞23℃＞19℃＞31℃＞15℃。27℃时成虫的产卵量最高, 单雌平均卵量为729.7粒;其次为23℃, 单雌平均卵量为639.2粒。并测得马铃薯甲虫卵、1龄幼虫、2龄幼虫、3龄幼虫、4龄幼虫、幼虫期、蛹期及全世代的发育起点温度分别为9.14, 10.50, 8.17, 10.28, 9.04, 9.59, 10.23和10.90℃, 有效积温分别为73.26, 43.22, 39.23, 34.05, 161.97, 273.02, 100.38和542.58日·度。据此认为温度对马铃薯甲虫实验种群的生长发育、存活和繁殖影响明显。     

降水对新疆马铃薯甲虫分布的影响

为明确降水在中国新疆地区对马铃薯甲虫分布的影响,揭示制约马铃薯甲虫分布扩散的关键环境因子,为马铃薯甲虫的持续防控和综合治理提供理论依据。该研究结合新疆历史降水数据,对马铃薯甲虫现有分布区内的降水时空格局展开分析,比较了马铃薯甲虫危害程度与降水时空格局的关系。结果表明:马铃薯甲虫现主要分布于新疆年降水量在150 mm以上地区,早期定殖的地区降水量大于后期定殖区,其扩散方向为自西向东,同时年降水量也逐渐减少。马铃薯甲虫危害程度也随着经度增加而递减,早期发现马铃薯甲虫的地区受危害程度较重。降水量减少导致的水分缺乏对马铃薯甲虫的分布扩散具有一定的制约作用。     

干旱区景观异质性对地表甲虫多样性的影响

以古河道、绿洲农田和沙漠区3种景观条件下的11个生境为实验对象,采用陷阱技术,监测景观异质性条件下不同生境地表甲虫多样性动态分布。在整个监测期内11个生境中共采集地表甲虫1262头,地表甲虫隶属15科,其中拟步甲科Tenebrionidae、步甲科Carabida和象甲科Curculionidae为该地区的优势类群,分别占地表甲虫个体总量的58.72%、20.6%和8.72%;古河道和沙漠区物种丰富度大于绿洲区,但绿洲区有机农田防护林(L2)多样性指数在11个生境中最大,不同生态界面之间的多样性指数没有显著性差异,但小生境内存在差异性。群落排序表明:拟步甲喜好干旱、地表有一定凋落物的小生境;步甲则偏好有机质比较高、土壤湿度大的绿洲农业区。绿洲农业区域拟步甲类群数量相对沙漠区域下降近20倍,古河道区域该类甲虫数量下降近8倍。土地开垦导致景观破碎化和微环境变化是物种多样性丧失的重要因子。在干旱区管理中,土地开垦区域选择、残留地和动物通道的设置及环境友好农业生产建设,是保护地表甲虫的重要途径。

间作玉米对马铃薯甲虫种群及天敌昆虫的影响

在农田尺度下,如何提升农田生态系统自身的控害能力,探索有利于害虫生态调控的农田种植模式是时下的研究热点之一,而间作作为一种能提高农田生态系统生物多样性以及控害能力的种植模式,已被广泛的应用于农作物生产.为进一步明确马铃薯-玉米间作种植模式对马铃薯甲虫种群动态的影响,在马铃薯甲虫发生期,对马铃薯-玉米2:2间作、马铃薯-玉米4:2间作、马铃薯-玉米-马铃薯2:2:2间作、马铃薯单作4种作物种植模式进行调查.结果表明:在第一代高龄幼虫为害高峰期(6月28日-7月19日)与第一代高龄幼虫为害末期(7月26日-8月16)时,单作田高龄幼虫数量均高于3种间作田,差异不显著(P>0.05).在第一代成虫羽化高峰期(7月12日-8月2日)与第一代成虫羽化末期(8月2日-8月23日)时,单作田成虫数量均高于3种间作田,差异不显著(P>0.05).整个调查期间,就高龄幼虫与成虫而言,3种马铃薯间作田虫量均小于单作田.此外,对3种间作田的天敌昆虫种群调查表明,优势天敌多异瓢虫的平均虫量马铃薯-玉米-马铃薯2:2:2间作田比马铃薯-玉米4:2间作田高,且差异显著(P<0.05).在马铃薯-玉米间作后期,间作田的马铃薯甲虫种群数量低于单作田,通过间作会对迁移能力较强的高龄幼虫与成虫有一定阻隔与调控作用.     

不同寄主植物上马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育的比较研究

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)是马铃薯Solanum tuberosum等茄科作物上的一种毁灭性害虫。为了探明寄主植物对新疆马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育的影响, 本研究通过非选择性试验测定了马铃薯、 茄子Solanum melongena和番茄Lycopersicon esculentum 3种栽培寄主及野生寄主中亚天仙子Hyoscyamus pusillus对马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育、 存活、 繁殖及生命表参数的影响。结果表明： 马铃薯甲虫幼虫虽然能够取食番茄, 但幼虫的发育历期长、 存活率低且蛹不能羽化, 表明番茄不是新疆马铃薯甲虫种群的适宜寄主。马铃薯、 茄子、 中亚天仙子3种寄主植物对该虫卵、 幼虫、 蛹的存活率和发育历期及成虫产卵前期没有显著影响, 但对蛹重和繁殖力影响显著。取食不同寄主植物后, 该虫蛹重和繁殖力从大到小的次序为： 马铃薯＞茄子＞中亚天仙子; 种群的净增殖率(R₀)、 内禀增长率(r_m)和种群趋势指数(I)从大到小依次为： 马铃薯＞茄子＞中亚天仙子。因此马铃薯为新疆马铃薯甲虫种群的最适宜寄主, 其次为茄子和中亚天仙子, 而番茄为不适宜寄主。     

小尺度下柠条林破碎化生境对地表甲虫多样性的影响

一般认为,景观斑块面积和破碎化对物种丰富度和分布格局有重要的影响。在宁夏中部荒漠地区,天然柠条林和人工柠条林地交错排列,形成点、片、带状等大小不等的斑块性分布,表现为典型的破碎化斑块格局生境特征。本文采用巴氏罐诱法调查了在小尺度下荒漠景观人工柠条林破碎化生境不同斑块内地表甲虫的物种多样性。结果共获得10科20属29种地表甲虫,其中拟步甲科昆虫占绝对优势,阿小鳖甲Microdera kraatzi alashanica Skopin、克小鳖甲Microdera kraatzi kraatzi(Reitter)为优势种。Rarefaction曲线显示较大面积的斑块有较多的物种多样性,但群落多样性指数各斑间块差异不显著。利用斑块面积对物种数-个体数进行回归分析表明,地表甲虫的物种多样性受斑块面积的影响,生境破碎化会导致地表甲虫多样性下降。     

Influence of boric acid on somatic embryogenesis of a cytosterile line of indica rice

The effect of boric acid on somatic embryo induction in rice was investigated using mature seeds of a widely used cytoplasmic male sterile line of indica rice IR-58025. Boric acid was added at a concentration of 100.00, 161.29, 241.93, 322.58 and 403.22 μM to the embryo induction medium containing basal salts, with 9.84 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Boric acid was found to exert different effects on scutellum, coleoptile and root tissues. Increased growth of embryogenic masses with increasing boric acid concentrations was observed on coleoptile tissues of mature seed. Embryogenic response was observed at 161.29 μM boric acid on coleoptile and 241.93 μM boric acid on root tissue. Scutellum tissue showed embryonic response in 161.29 and 241.93 μM boric acid. The results indicate that the boric acid used in standard Murashige and Skoog medium is not sufficient to support induction of somatic embryogenesis in IR-58025 A. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The inheritance of volatile phenylpropenes in bitter fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill. var. vulgare, Apiaceae) chemotypes and their distribution within the plant

The volatile phenylpropenes estragole and t-anethole are the major constituents of the oleoresin of the aerial parts of bitter fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill. var. vulgare, Apiaceae). The levels of estragole and t-anethole varied during plant development, being maximal in flowers and developing mericarps. Still the ratio between estragole and t-anethole remained constant throughout development. Estragole-rich types were hybridized with t-anethole rich types to examine the genetic basis of this polymorphism. A reverse correlation between estragole and t-anethole content was evident and the action of a biallelic gene with partial dominance for high estragole content was inferred. Understanding phenylpropene inheritance might explain chemical polymorphism in wild bitter fennel populations, sheds light on the molecular mechanisms that lead to chemotypes evolution and is crucial for breeding fennel varieties with desired chemical compositions.

活跃性和社会性对中华倒刺鲃集群行为的影响

为考察群体中不同的个性组成对鱼类集群行为的影响及其内在机制,选取中华倒刺鲃(Spinibarbus sinensis)幼鱼为实验对象,依次测定其活跃性和社会性,随后分别根据活跃性和社会性的高低分为高、低和混合活跃性(或社会性)鱼群,考察鱼群中不同个性组成对集群时的整体运动特征以及每尾鱼的个体运动特征的影响。研究发现：(1)中华倒刺鲃的个性特征稳定且个体间变异较大;(2)高活跃性鱼群的运动时间比和速度同步性均大于低活跃性鱼群,而混合鱼群位于二者之间且与两个同质性鱼群均无显著差异;高社会性鱼群速度同步性显著小于低社会性和混合社会性鱼群,而后两者之间没有显著差异。(3)活跃性特征与集群运动时每尾鱼的运动特征(速度及其同步性等)相关,社会性特征不仅与上述运动特征关联,还与凝聚力大小(距鱼群质心距离)相关。研究表明：(1)鱼群的活跃性和社会性组成均对集群行为产生重要影响,但其内在机制截然不同。主要表现为：就活跃性而言,群体的运动状态是由群体中所有成员共同决定(平均决定机制);就社会性而言,少数低社会性成员对鱼群的运动水平表现有着主导作用(少数决定机制);(2)实验鱼的活跃性在集群行为中得到了较大...     

Accumulation of the labdane diterpene Marrubiin in glandular trichome cells along the ontogeny of Marrubium vulgare plants

The content of the diterpene Marrubiin was assessed by GC-FID in leaves of Marrubium vulgare plants along their ontogeny. Maximum accumulation occurred just before flowering time and in fully expanded leaves. After feeding the plants with radio labeled [³H]-geranyl geranyl diphosphate, up to 70% of the radioactivity was recovered in HPLC-Rt coincidental with authentic Marrubiin, which was also characterized by GC-EIMS, thus confirming that the biosynthesis of Marrubiin proceeds through the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate pathway. The major accumulation of radioactivity occurred in glandular trichome cells, and the product remained stable throughout.     

Effects of different Beauveria bassiana isolates on field populations of Lygus lineolaris in pigweed (Amaranthus spp.)

The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is a pest of various fruit, vegetable, fiber, and seed crops; including cotton. Lygus spp. populations often build on alternate host plants before moving to cotton, and in the midsouthern U.S. wild host plants, such as pigweed (Amaranthus spp.), play a major role in L. lineolaris population development. Three isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) were evaluated for L. lineolaris control in redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.): one from L. lineolaris in Mississippi (TPB3); one from Lygus hesperus (Knight) in California (WTPB2); and one commercial isolate from Mycotrol^® (GHA). Fungal applications resulted in moderate to high mycosis in adults (33 to 80%) and moderate mycosis in nymphs (36 to 53%) that were collected from field plots at 2 days post-treatment and incubated under laboratory conditions. Although TPB3 was previously found to be more pathogenic in laboratory bioassays, there was not a consistent separation of this isolate from the other two isolates in field trials. Where differences in adult mycosis or mortality were observed, TPB3 was the most pathogenic. However, in one field trial 7 day mortality for nymphs treated with GHA was higher than those treated with TPB3 or WTPB2. Infection rates at 2, 7, and 14 days post-treatment from caged and non-caged adults suggested that movement of adults among plots occurred, which could have masked some treatment effects. Fungal treatments did not significantly reduce populations relative to controls. This may have been caused by delayed mortality rates under field conditions and/or difficulties with estimating population change under field conditions characteristic of wild host plant populations (e.g., heterogeneous populations, adult movement, and small plot size). Further work evaluating time–dose–mortality over dynamic temperatures, spring and fall field trials on this and other wild hosts, and improved methods for estimating populations on wild hosts are needed.     

Effects of Microdesmis keayana roots on sexual behavior of male rats

In the present study, the aphrodisiac properties of Microdesmis keayana J. Léonard root extract and major isolated alkaloids were evaluated by observing the sexual behavior of male rats.Aqueous extract (150 mg/kg body weight) and pure alkaloids (3 mg/kg body weight) were administered orally by gavage to male rats. Latent times of observation, intromission and ejaculation, mounting behavior, number of intromissions and mating performances were evaluated and compared to those obtained with untreated rats in the presence of receptive and non-receptive females. The results have shown that aqueous extract and alkaloids of M. keayana stimulate sexual parameters in rats’ sexual behavior.A short-term toxicity study undertaken to establish the therapeutic index of aqueous extract, showed that a high dose of the extract (2 g/kg body weight) caused no mortality or changes in rats’ behavior.
