The effect of chlorflurenol (methyl 2-chloro-9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylate) (CF) on chlorophyll (chl) content was studied in intact plants and floating leaf disks. For intact soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) plants grown in the growth chamber, 2.5 μg/ml CF applied 10 to 20 d after planting retarded chl decline in senescing tissues such as cotyledons and unifoliate leaves and increased chl content in recently expanded tissues such as trifoliate leaves. CF did not retard chl decline in the dark unless regulator application was followed by a period of 24 h in the light prior to darkness. In floating leaf disk tests, CF retarded chl decline in dock (Rumex obtusifolius L.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) at concentrations of 10?4 M, but was ineffective at lower concentrations. Chl decline was significantly hastened by CF in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and soybean, but was unchanged in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). CF treatment increased tissue weight (g fresh wt/cotyledon; g dry wt/ cm2 for unifoliate and trifoliate leaves), decreased moisture content, and increased leaf thickness, palisade layer thickness, and palisade and spongy mesophyll cell counts. We conclude that plants treated with morphactins show greater green coloration predominantly because of growth effects, and only in small part because of prevention of chl decline in senescing tissues. 相似文献

Laboratory studies demonstrated that neonate larvae of the pea moth, Cydia nigricana, are susceptible to infection with a granulosis virus (CpGV) isolated from the codling moth, Cydia pomonella. Comparative LC50 values for C. nigricana and C. pomonella are 1.90 × 105 and 1.54 × 104 capsules/ml of diet, respectively. The virus extracted from CpGV-infected pea moth larvae is serologically related, and probably identical, to CpGV. 相似文献

Despite several studies on the attachment ability of different insect taxa, little is known about this phenomenon in adult Lepidoptera. In this study we combined morphological and experimental analyses of tarsal adhesive devices and the attachment ability of the codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) to smooth surfaces. Pretarsi of C. pomonella attach to smooth substrates by means of their smooth, flexible and well developed arolia. Using the centrifugal force measurement technique, friction forces of males and females were assessed on hydrophobic and hydrophilic glass surfaces. Adults of both sexes generated similar forces in spite of the noticeable difference in their body masses. That is why males showed significantly higher safety factors (attachment force divided by body weight) compared to those of females. Hydrophobicity of the substrate had no considerable effect on friction forces. For females, friction forces (sliding parallel to the substrate plane) were compared with adhesive forces (pulling off perpendicularly from the substrate plane) measured on Plexiglas surfaces. It can be concluded that the attachment system of C. pomonella is rather robust against physico-chemical properties of the substrate and is able to achieve a very good attachment on vertical and horizontal substrata. 相似文献

Recently, codling moth (CM, Cydia pomonella L.) populations with a significantly reduced susceptibility to C. pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) products have been observed in Germany. A novel CpGV isolate, designated CpGV-I12, is able to overcome the CpGV resistance. CpGV-I12 originated from Iran and showed superior efficacy in laboratory bioassays against a resistant CM strain (CpR), which has a 100-fold reduced susceptibility to commercially used isolate CpGV-M. Determination of the median lethal concentration (LC50) indicated that CpGV-I12 is nearly as efficient in resistant CpR as CpGV-M in a susceptible CM strain (CpS). Beyond, CpGV-I12 caused superior mortality in CpS. Infection experiments showed that the resistance breaking effect can be observed in all instars of CpR. CpGV-I12 is a promising alternative control agent of CM in orchards where conventional CpGV products fail. In addition, we demonstrate in bioassays with recombinant expressed Cry1Ab that cross-resistance to CpGV and Bacillus thuringiensis products is not likely. 相似文献

Methyl bromide (MB) and other alternatives were evaluated for suppression of Fusarium spp., Phytophthora spp., and Meloidogyne spp. and their influence on soil microbial communities. Both Fusarium spp. and Phytophthora spp. were significantly reduced by the MB (30.74 mg kg-1), methyl iodide (MI: 45.58 mg kg-1), metham sodium (MS: 53.92 mg kg-1) treatments. MS exhibited comparable effectiveness to MB in controlling Meloidogyne spp. and total nematodes, followed by MI at the tested rate. By contrast, sulfuryl fluoride (SF: 33.04 mg kg-1) and chloroform (CF: 23.68 mg kg-1) showed low efficacy in controlling Fusarium spp., Phytophthora spp., and Meloidogyne spp. MB, MI and MS significantly lowered the abundance of different microbial populations and microbial biomass in soil, whereas SF and CF had limited influence on them compared with the control. Diversity indices in Biolog studies decreased in response to fumigation, but no significant difference was found among treatments in PLFA studies. Principal component and cluster analyses of Biolog and PLFA data sets revealed that MB and MI treatments greatly influenced the soil microbial community functional and structural diversity compared with SF treatment. These results suggest that fumigants with high effectiveness in suppressing soil-borne disease could significantly influence soil microbial community. 相似文献

We aimed to assess the potential effects of fumigation by methyl salicylate (MeSA) on plant monoterpene production and emissions.
We evaluated monoterpene production and emissions both by chromatographic and proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry at
the whole plant-and leaf-scales, in MeSa-fumigated (ca. 60 mm3 m−3 in air) and control (without MeSa fumigation) holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) plants exposed to temperatures ranging from 25 to 50 °C. The MeSa-fumigated plants showed ca. 3–4-fold greater leaf monoterpene concentrations and emission rates than the control plants between the temperatures of 25
to 45 °C. 相似文献

The interception of exotic ants and termites from stone and lumber imported into Korea is on the rise, including Solenopsis invicta. Currently, a relatively long exposure (24 h) of methyl bromide (MB) fumigation is the only practical disinfestation option for exotic ants and termites on imported stone and lumber. In this study, ethyl formate (EF) wase evaluated as a potential MB alternative to disinfest ants and termites in imported lumber, with a focus on S. invicta. As S. invicta is not established in Korea, we first determined whether Reticulitermes speratus, established in Korea, could be considered as an EF surrogate of S. invicta. From 1 h EF fumigation trials, workers of S. invicta were more sensitive to EF than those of R. speratus based on lethal concentration × time causing 99% mortality (LCt99%), supporting that R. speratus can be used as an EF surrogate of S. invicta. When R. speratus workers were further fumigated with EF for 4 h at four different temperatures, LCt99% values for R. speratus workers were 108.00, 63.31, 77.24, and 67.24 g h/m3 at 2, 5, 13, and 23 °C, respectively. From scale-up (0.65 m3) and commercial scale (76.4 m3) trials containing two infestation-prone lumber species, lauan (Shorea spp.) and acacia (Acacia spp.), 140 g/m3 EF at >5 °C for 4 h resulted in the complete control of R. speratus workers, suggesting that 140 g/m3 4 h-EF-fumigation may be applicable as a potential MB-alternative treatment for disinfestation of invasive S. invicta on imported lumber. 相似文献

Abstract Codling moth, Cydia pomonella, is one of the most serious pests of apple and pear worldwide. This study evaluates the efficacies of a granulovirus, a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strain and their combination in the control of C. pomonella in China. A Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) was isolated from C. pomonella cadavers in an orchard in Gansu, China. Droplet-feeding bioassays showed the median lethal concentration (LC50) of this CpGV isolate (CpGV-C1) against the third instar C. pomonella larvae was 770 OBs µl?1. The LC50 values of Bt C-33 and kurstaki HD-1 against the third instar larvae were 26.3 µg ml?1 and 15.7 µg ml?1, respectively. Field tests indicated the control efficacies of CpGV-C1 and the combination of CpGV-C1 and Bt against C. pomonella larvae in apple orchards were similar to that of beta-cypermethrin. Our data demonstrated that the combination of CpGV and Bt might effectively protect apple fruits from the damage of C. pomonella larvae and had the potential to be developed as a low-cost, highly effective insecticide. 相似文献

Cydia pomonella (L.) was firstly reported in China in the 1950s and considered as one of the most serious invasive pest in fruit orchards of China. It spread rapidly from the original site in Xinjiang to other northwestern regions. The pest has further penetrated northeastern China since 2006. With its rapid invasion rate, most pome fruit production areas of China are being threatened. As yet there has been no research into the genetic diversity and structure of the codling moth population in China. We investigated the genetic variations of 12 C. pomonella populations collected from the main distribution regions (Xinjiang, Gansu and Heilongjiang Provinces) in China and compared them with one German and one Swiss population using eight microsatellites loci to infer the characteristics of genetic diversity and genetic structure. We observed sequential loss of genetic diversity and significant structuring associated with distribution but no significant correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance among northwestern populations. There was no genetic evidence for bottleneck effects in any of the populations. The results suggest that the loss of genetic diversity in C. pomonella populations resulted from the successive colonization of founder populations. Recent invasion history led to the lack of any bottleneck effect. The high level of population genetic structuring is related to the weak flight capacity of the codling moth and the human-aided dispersal rather than to geographic distance. These genetic data not only provide us with an understanding of the micro-evolutionary processes related to successful biological invasions, but also provide guidance for pest management strategies. 相似文献

The effect of methyl bromide and P fertilization on the growth of four agricultural crops in a P-sorbing soil was studied.
Harvestable yields and P tissue content were significantly lower for celery (Apium graveolens L.), onion (Allium cepa L.) and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) following fumigation. P fertilization up to 330 kg P ha−1 as superphosphate could not reverse this effect. The highest P fertilizer treatment had 25.4 μg g−1 bicarbonate-extractable P and 0.26 μg g−1 water extractable P. This P level produced acceptable commercial yields when vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) were
present (non-fumigated) and indicate the importance of the VAM association for these crops. In contrast, melon (Cucumis melo L.) growth was slightly greater following soil fumigation at all P fertilization rates. These findings indicate that crop
VAM dependence and efficacy of VAM biotypes must be considered as essential components for P fertilization recommendations
on fumigated P-sorbing soils.

Pinewood nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) and Asian longhorned beetles (Anoplophora glabripennis) are the primary regulated pests for packaging wood and timber in the EU, while the house longhorned beetle (Hylotrupes bajulus) is the most important cosmopolitan pest of construction wood. Gaseous hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is one of the few fumigation alternatives to the banned ozone-depleting chemical methyl bromide (MBr). This study reports the results of HCN fumigation experiments in a hermetically sealed steel chamber regarding (1) the penetration and absorption rates of HCN in wooden blocks, and (2) the biological efficacy of HCN against the wood-infesting pests B. xylophilus (in sawdust), A. glabripennis, and H. bajulus (in wooden blocks). A concentration equilibrium for HCN (at 20 g m−3) between the fumigation chamber headspace and the center of the treated spruce blocks (100 × 100 × 120 mm) was reached after 48 h in the saturated atmosphere. A dose of 10 g m−3 in the center of the spruce blocks was reached for both saturated and non-saturated atmospheres after 24 h of fumigation. The wood tested absorbed approximately 40–45% of the HCN, until equilibrium was reached. The highest tested HCN dose (20 g m−3) led to 100% mortality of the A. glabripennis and H. bajulus larvae after less than 1 h of exposure. For 20 g m−3 and 1 h exposure the Ct product was <18.66 g*h/m3 for H. bajulus and <17.67 g*h/m3 for A. glabripennis. Hydrogen cyanide doses of 10 g m−3 and 20 g m−3 led to 100% B. xylophilus mortality in 40 and 18 h, respectively. For B. xylophilus the Ct product was <424.00 g*h/m3 for 20 °C and 10 g m−3 and <349.51 g*h/m3 for 25 °C and 20 g m−3. The initial results are promising in terms of establishing an alternative technology and protocol to MBr for timber fumigation. 相似文献

Putrescine (Put) increased 68% in lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. cv Bearss) flavedo, 39% in grapefruit (C. paradisi Macf. cv Marsh) flavedo, 49% in grapefruit juice, and 149% in pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Early Calwonder) pericarp when fruits were stored at chilling temperatures. In lemon flavedo, the coefficient of correlation (r2) between Put concentration with severity of chilling was 0.90 and Put levels almost doubled; the injury index going from 1 to 2 units. Pepper pericarp, which was the most chilling-sensitive tissue tested (injury index going from 1 to 3.8 units), showed the greatest difference in Put accumulation (166 to 413 nanomoles per gram fresh weight) between storage temperatures of 7.2 and 1°C. The least difference (338 to 470 nanomoles per gram fresh weight) was found in grapefruit flavedo between storage temperatures of 15.5 and 4.4°C; the injury index going from 1 to 1.3 units. 相似文献

Background and aims
Soil nutrient dynamics are affected by root-microbe interactions and plant development. We investigated the influence of plant growth stage and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) rhizodeposition and the transfer into the microbial biomass (MB).Methods
Pea varieties (Pisum sativum L.) with (Frisson) and without mycorrhiza (P2) were 13C-15N-labelled and harvested at 45, 63, 71, and 95 days after sowing. Mycorrhization, MB, total C, N, 13C, 15N were determined in plant and soil compartments to calculate C and N derived from rhizodeposition (CdfR, NdfR).Results
Total CdfR increased until pea maturity, NdfR until end of flowering. Their relative contribution steadily decreased over time, accounting for 4–10% of total plant C and N at harvest. Rhizodeposition contributed between 1 and 6% to MB C and N, although 20% of the rhizodeposits were discovered in the MB. Frisson released more NdfR than P2 but it was not possible to accurately estimate AMF effects on C and N due to differences in biomass partitioning.Conclusions
CdfR followed an even flow from early growth until senescence. NdfR flow ceased after flowering possibly due to N relocation within the plant. Rhizodeposits contribute very little to MB in our study.14.
Five species of larval parasitoids were reared fromRhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) infested fruit of hawthorn,Crataegus, collected from several locations in southwest Washington over a four year period. A braconid,Biosteres melleus (Gahan), parasitized larvae infesting fruits of a native hawthorn species,Crataegus douglasii Lindl. Another braconid,Opius downesi Gahan, emerged exclusively fromR. pomonella pupae reared from fruits of an introduced species of hawthorn,Crataegus monogyna Jacq. A pteromalid,Pteromalus sp., and two eulophids,Tetrastichus spp., attackedR. pomonella larvae infesting fruits of both hawthorn species. No parasitoids emerged from a total of 4385 pupae reared from apple. Percent parasitism ofR. pomonella was higher inC. monogyna compared toC. douglasii fruits. The highest average levels of parasitism ofR. pomonella inC. monogyna andC. douglasii fruits were 90% and 23% respectively. The kinds of parasitoids, their relative abundances and timing of parasitization on the two hawthorns was related to differences in fruit ripening patterns and its effect on the development ofR. pomonella on these two hosts. Parasitization ofR. pomonella byTetrastichus spp. is a new host record. The detection of these species andPteromalus sp. in southwest Washington are the first records of ectoparasitoids attacking this tephritid. 相似文献

Eastern white pines (Pinus strobus L.) in their 3rd year of growth photoassimilated 35, 110, 220, or 400 microcuries of 14CO2 on a single occasion in the spring when needle expansion was occurring. Once assimilated into organic products and translocated to various sinks, the retained 14C represented an internal chronic source of ionizing radiation to the plant. About 2.5 months later, the pines were harvested, and the distribution of 14C activity was determined. In addition, new needle lengths, fresh weights, and rates of processes involving CO2 exchange were measured. 相似文献

The occurrence of resistance of codling moth (CM, Cydia pomonella L.) to Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) used as biological control agent revealed the need for fast and reliable resistance monitoring methods. Here, we describe the development of a laboratory resistance test that is directly performed on larvae extracted from infested apples. This test is based on a 14‐day bioassay at a discriminative CpGV concentration of 2 × 105 occlusion bodies/ml diet and can be applied to L1–L4 larvae. Information on virus resistance can be obtained within <4 weeks. In a survey, CM larvae were isolated and tested from 6698 apples from 10 different orchards in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and the Netherlands. We identified seven CM populations resistant or partly resistant to CpGV isolates. Although some of the orchards were treated with commercial CpGV products, this method allowed us to obtain reliable information about the resistance status of the examined populations. 相似文献

Leaves of maize (Zea mays L.) and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) were enclosed in an illuminated chamber in air for 30 min after which time 14CO2 was released into the chamber. Two min after the 14CO2 was released, the leaves were removed from the chamber, and small sections were cut from them. The sections were put in small wire baskets and frozen in isopentane cooled by liquid nitrogen. Approximately 1.5 min elapsed from the removal of the leaf from the illuminated chamber until the tissue was frozen. The tissue was freeze-dried, embedded in paraffin and the cellular location of the isotopic activity was determined by radiography of leaf cross sections. Isotopic activity in maize leaves was localized in bundle sheath parenchyma. In contrast, the label in sugar beet leaves was generally distributed in the mesophyll cells. The bundle sheath cells in maize contain specialized chloroplasts which appear to have a unique capacity to incorporate CO2. Translocation from leaves of maize was 3-fold as rapid as from sugar beet leaves in the same environment. Low light intensity did not alter the distribution pattern of fixed CO2. 相似文献

Growth chamber studies with soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) were designed to determine the relative limitations of NO3−, NADH, and nitrate reductase (NR) per se on nitrate metabolism as affected by light and temperature. Three NR enzyme assays (+NO3−in vivo, −NO3−in vivo, and in vitro) were compared. NR activity decreased with all assays when plants were exposed to dark. Addition of NO3− to the in vivo NR assay medium increased activity (over that of the −NO3−in vivo assay) at all sampling periods of a normal day-night sequence (14 hr-30 C day; 10 hr-20 C night), indicating that NO3− was rate-limiting. The stimulation of in vivo NR activity by NO3− was not seen in plants exposed to extended dark periods at elevated temperatures (16 hr-30 C), indicating that under those conditions, NO3− was not the limiting factor. Under the latter condition, in vitro NR activity was appreciable (19 μmol NO2− [g fresh weight, hr]−1) suggesting that enzyme level per se was not the limiting factor and that reductant energy might be limiting. 相似文献

Plant extracts, made by grinding 2 g of fresh tissue in 5 ml of water, were toxic to Tylenchorhynchus dubius and Hoplolaimus spp. Such extracts from leaves and stems of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were most toxic; those from leaves of corn (Zea mays L.), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense L.) were less toxic; and extracts of bean roots were nontoxic. Nematode movement slowed markedly within 1 hr in tobacco leaf extract, and within 4 hr in bean leaf extract; both extracts completely inactivated or killed 95% of the nematodes in 24 hr. Heating leaf extract 10 min at 80 C eliminated toxicity. Absorption of fusicoccin, a phytotoxin produced by Fusicoccum amygdali Del., increased the toxicity of tomato leaf extracts, whereas water extracts of acetone-extracted powder preparations of leaves were about 15-fold more toxic than water extracts of fresh tissue. Addition of homogenized leaves of bean, tobacco and tomato to soil significantly reduced nematode populations within 3 days. 相似文献

Free and membrane-bound (MB) polysomes and the corresponding polyadenylated RNAs (polyA+ RNAs) have been isolated from developing wheat endosperm (Triticum aestivum L.) Free and MB poly(A)+ RNAs, analyzed on isokinetic sucrose gradient with [3H]polyuridylic acid [poly(U)] hybridization detection, appear to be 11S to 12S in size with a 7% poly(A) tail for MB RNAs. cDNAs synthesized using both of these mRNA populations in presence of a potent RNase inhibitor (RNasin), have been used for hybridization kinetics experiments. The mean square fitting analysis of the hybridization kinetics between MB cDNA and its template reveals the presence of two abundance classes representing roughly ⅔ and ⅓ of the MB poly(A)+ RNAs and containing the information for approximately 75 superabundant species (21,000 copies per cell) and 750 intermediate species (530 copies per cell), respectively. The mRNA population extracted from free polysomes is divided into three abundance classes. The first one is composed of superabundant sequences which would correspond to the MB superabundant mRNAs. The free mRNAs consist of about 11,000 diverse sequences, most of them being rare sequences. Heterologous hybridizations of MB cDNAs to free mRNAs have shown that some mRNAs are common to both populations. This could be explained either by a partial contamination or by free polysomes en route to their membrane destination. Contrary to the low number of diverse mRNAs corresponding to the legume seed storage proteins, the wheat endosperm superabundant mRNAs consist of about 75 different sequences which would encode most of the seed storage proteins, especially gliadins. 相似文献
