金龟甲对蓖麻叶挥发物的触角电位和行为反应

为了探明金龟甲偏爱选择有害非寄主植物蓖麻的原因,应用触角电位（EAG）仪和“Y”型嗅觉仪,分别测定了华北大黑鳃金龟、暗黑鳃金龟和铜绿丽金龟雌、雄虫对5种蓖麻叶挥发物的触角电位和选择行为反应。EAG测定结果表明,3种金龟甲雄虫对各处理挥发物的EAG反应值均比参照挥发物顺-3-己烯-1-醇强。华北大黑鳃金龟对邻苯二甲酸二丁酯和肉桂醛的EAG反应值相对较高,暗黑鳃金龟对苯甲醇的EAG反应值相对较高,铜绿丽金龟对邻苯二甲酸二丁酯和苯甲醇的EAG反应值相对较高。选择行为反应测定结果表明,当顺-3-己烯-1-醇与其他挥发物配对测试时,华北大黑鳃金龟对邻苯二甲酸二丁酯和肉桂醛2种蓖麻叶挥发物表现出明显的选择偏好,暗黑鳃金龟对蓖麻叶挥发物苯甲醇表现出明显的选择偏好,铜绿丽金龟则更偏好选择蓖麻的绿叶气味物质顺-3-己烯-1-醇。总之,蓖麻叶的挥发性物质与引诱金龟甲偏爱选择密切相关,且偏爱的挥发物因金龟甲的种类而异。     

金龟甲广谱引诱剂配方筛选及田间评价

【目的】为了探讨国内外已经报道的金龟甲性信息素或植物源引诱剂对河南花生产区金龟甲的诱捕效果,以便实现"地下害虫地上治理"的目标。【方法】作者于2016年6月2日至8月31日,在驻马店和许昌两个地区,比较了10种候选引诱剂的诱捕效果。【结果】暗黑鳃金龟是两个地区占绝对优势的种类。暗黑鳃金龟性信息素二元成分R-(-)-芳樟醇与L-异亮氨酸甲酯组成的3个配方(1︰4、1︰5、1︰7),平均累计诱捕量显著大于其他候选引诱剂及对照空白诱捕器,但3种不同配比的捕获量之间没有显著性差异。【结论】在以暗黑鳃金龟为优势种的花生产区,我们推荐采用1︰4的R-(-)-芳樟醇︰L-异亮氨酸甲酯作为活性成分,以500?L的总剂量混入0.5%的琼脂胶载体中,于6月13日至7月23日之间即该金龟甲成虫的发生盛期实施大田诱捕。     

4种金龟甲的寄主偏好性及对不同植物挥发物的EAG反应

为了揭示华北大黑鳃金龟、暗黑鳃金龟、小黄鳃金龟和福婆鳃金龟对不同植物的寄主偏好性,本研究调查了四种金龟甲在6种寄主植物桃树、梨树、榆树、山楂、丁香和金银木上的发生情况。同时采用动态顶空吸附法收集7种植物挥发物,利用触角电位EAG技术,测定四种金龟甲雌、雄虫对不同寄主植物玉兰、柿树、金银木、榆树、芙蓉葵、丁香及非寄主植物银杏的挥发物的EAG反应。结果显示,金龟甲对不同寄主植物的偏好性有显著差异,华北大黑鳃金龟的偏好寄主为梨树,暗黑鳃金龟的偏好寄主为榆树、山楂和梨树,而小黄鳃金龟和福婆鳃金龟的偏好寄主均为丁香。四种金龟甲均对其共同寄主植物榆树挥发物的EAG反应最大,另外,小黄鳃金龟和福婆鳃金龟对丁香挥发物也有较大的EAG反应。对同一植物挥发物,华北大黑鳃金龟雌虫对部分植物挥发物的EAG反应比雄虫大;而其它3种鳃金龟雌、雄虫对所测试的植物挥发物的EAG反应均无显著性差异。上述结果说明金龟甲EAG反应的大小与其寄主偏好性一致。

Perception of volatiles associated with sex and food by different adult forms of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae

Abstract. Electroantennograms (EAGs) were recorded from adult male and asexual forms (winged and wingless virginoparae and gynoparae) of the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae , during stimulation with two sex pheromone components, (+)-(4a S ,7 S ,7a R )-nepetalactone and (-)-(1 R ,4a S ,7 S ,7a R )-nepetalactol, as well as six plant volatiles, i.e. ( E )-2-hexenal, ( E )-2-hexenol-1, ( Z )-3-hexenol-1, ( Z )-3-hexenyl acetate, hexanal and allyl isothiocyanate. The male antennae are 1000-10,000 times more sensitive to nepetalactol and nepetalactone than to the plant compound ( E )-2-hexenal. Besides this marked difference of EAG peak responses in males, the EAG rise and decay are slower for the sex pheromone components. Males are also much more sensitive to the sex pheromone components than asexual females. This high sensitivity correlates with a predominance of antennal secondary rhinaria, the major sites of pheromone perception in the male. However, it is the primary rhinaria on the antennae of the wingless asexual females that are responsible for pheromone perception. Male antennae are as responsive as the asexual female antennae to the plant volatiles. The specialization of the male for mate location is discussed.     

笋秀夜蛾雄蛾对性信息素化合物的电生理和行为反应

利用气质联用仪对笋秀夜蛾雌蛾性腺体粗提物成分进行了分析比对,通过触角电位(EAG)试验研究了笋秀夜蛾雄成虫对性信息素组分的电生理反应,以Y形嗅觉仪进行了室内和林间的行为生测.结果表明： 雌蛾性腺体粗提物中顺11-十六碳乙酸酯(Z11-16:Ac)和顺11-十六碳烯醇(Z11-16:OH)为笋秀夜蛾性信息素活性组分,性腺粗提物、两种化合物及其混合物均能激发雄蛾明显的EAG反应,且EAG反应值随性信息素组分浓度增加而增加.Z11-16:Ac和Z11-16:OH按57∶43配置成的二元混合物所激发的EAG反应强于同等剂量下的单一组分.室内的行为生测和林间诱捕试验结果与EAG反应基本一致,Z11-16:Ac+Z11-16:OH(57∶43)混合物对雄蛾引诱力最强,在林间单诱捕器(诱芯浓度为10⁴ng·μL^-1)的平均诱捕量达到(48.5±6.7)头.     

Olfactory attraction to aggregation pheromone is mediated by disti-flagellum of antennal segments in Riptortus pedestris

Riptortus pedestris (Hemiptera: Alydidae) is a serious pest of soybean and sweet persimmon and uses male produced aggregation pheromone, (E)-2-hexenyl (Z)-3-hexenoate, (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate, and tetradecyl isobutyrate to facilitate food location and recognition by conspecifics. Using electroantennogram (EAG) and greenhouse bioassay, we determined which antennal segment is involved in the detection of their aggregation pheromone. In the first EAG test using individual antennal segments, significant EAG responses to 1:1:1 mixture of the aggregation pheromone were observed only from the disti-flagellum segments of both male and female antennae at both pheromone doses tested (1 µg and 100 µg). In the following EAG tests using gradually removed antennal segment(s), EAG response was still maintained when the distal half of a disti-flagellum was surgically removed, while EAG response was lost when whole segment of disti-flagellum or other whole segments were gradually removed from intact antenna of both sexes. In greenhouse experiment, removing one or both segment(s) of disti-flagellum from male or female antennae resulted in significant reduction in their attraction to the aggregation pheromone. Together, these findings support that the disti-flagellum of R. pedestris houses olfactory neurons associated with attraction to their aggregation pheromone.     

Olfactory receptor responses of the nymphal American cockroach to sex pheromones and their mimics

1. EAG responses to highly purified sex pheromones (periplanone-A and -B), sex pheromone mimics [germacrene-D, (+)-verbanyl acetate and (+)-trans-verbenyl acetate] and general odor (camphor) were recorded from both sexes of adult and three nymphal stages (7, 10 and 11th instars) of the American cockroach. 2. The M/F ratios were evaluated for each stage by stimulation with the above chemicals. 3. The ratio values indicated undeveloped sex pheromone receptor on the antennae of 7th male instar and females of all the stages. On the other hand, precursory development of the receptor was expected on the antennae of males of the old-aged nymphal instars and full development on the adult male antennae.     

Electroantennogram and behavioural responses of different forms of the bird cherry-oat aphid,Rhopalosiphum padi,to sex pheromone and a plant volatile

Winged (alate) virginoparae were induced in the laboratory by crowding the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) under long-day conditions. Males and gynoparae (the winged female form that produces sexual females) were induced by short days. Electroantennogram (EAG) and behavioural responses were investigated in each of the three forms to two aphid sex pheromone components, (-)-(4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol and (+)-(4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone, and benzaldehyde, a volatile which is released by the winter host plant. All three compounds elicited EAG responses with the males showing the highest sensitivity to each compound. Both the nepetalactol and the nepetalactone elicited larger EAG responses in gynoparae than in the winged virginoparae but antennae from virginoparae were more responsive to benzaldehyde. Although the nepetalactone is not a sex pheromone component in R. padi the EAG responses were similar to those evoked by the nepetalactol, the sex pheromone, in all three aphid forms. In a linear-track olfactometer, significantly more male R. padi moved into air containing nepetalactol, nepetalactone or benzaldehyde than into a simultaneous choice of clean air (i.e. attraction) but nepetalactol was more attractive than nepetalactone. Males, however, showed no response to a mixture of nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Gynoparae were attracted only to the nepetalactol but were less sensitive than the males and showed no response to the nepetalactone or benzaldehyde. In contrast, alate virginoparae showed no behavioural responses to any of the compounds. The present study supports the idea that the male R. padi utilise both sex pheromone and benzaldehyde for mate/host-plant location in autumn. It also demonstrates, for the first time, polyphenic differences in the olfactory responses at the peripheral level between the two female forms. Such differences impact on the life-cycle strategy where winged virginoparae move between graminaceous summer host plants while gynoparae move from the summer hosts to the bird cherry, winter host. The latter move appears to be assisted by the sex pheromone released by sexual females, already present on that host, acting as an aggregation pheromone.     

Effects of sex pheromone in electrostatic powder on mating behaviour by Lobesia botrana males

Abstract:  In laboratory trials, mating behaviour of males of Lobesia botrana Den. and Schiff. (Lep., Tortricidae) was investigated after treatment with an electrostatically chargeable powder, Entostat^TM. Male moths were powdered with either blank Entostat or Entostat containing sex pheromone. Significantly more Entostat adhered to L. botrana males when sex pheromone was added to the powder compared with blank Entostat. Powdering male moths with Entostat, with or without sex pheromone, caused a significant reduction in antennal response when antennae were placed 2 cm away in downwind direction, while there was little effect when antennae were placed 25–100 cm from the EAG in downwind direction. In a flight study, powdering males of L. botrana caused significant increase in time before flight initiation and reduction in proportion of males making contact with calling females compared with untreated males. In a mating experiment in Petri dishes (to minimize required search time to locate female), significantly fewer females mated successfully (based on dissection of bursa copulatrix) when males had been treated with pheromone-loaded powder. Overall, powdering males of L. botrana caused considerable suppression of mating behaviour on various levels, and these suppressing effects were increased after adding sex pheromone to Entostat.     

Electroantennogram, wind tunnel and field responses of male Mediterranean corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides, to several blends of its sex pheromone components

The electrophysiological and behavioural responses of male Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèbvre (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to several synthetic blends of its sex pheromone components were investigated. Electroantennogram (EAG) recordings showed the greatest response to a 77:8:10:5 blend of the four compounds found in the female glands: (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate, (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-ol, (Z)-11-hexadecenal and dodecyl acetate. A logistic equation was fitted to the dose-response data and differences in relative EAG responses were analysed by deriving five parameters of this equation. Flight responses of males were also evaluated in a wind tunnel where the proposed blend (77:8:10:5) also elicited the best response. Field tests confirmed the laboratory findings as the 77:8:10:5 blend captured more S. nonagrioides males than other pheromone mixtures and showed more selectivity for male S. nonagrioides over other noctuid species, Discestra trifolii Rottenberg and Lacanobia oleracea L., but not for Mythimna unipuncta Haworth, a species with a sex pheromone composition almost identical to that of S. nonagrioides.

黄杨绢野螟雌蛾性信息素的鉴定及诱蛾活性

【目的】研究旨在深入探讨中国黄杨绢野Diaphania perspectalis 的雌蛾性信息素组成及诱蛾活性。【方法】利用气质联用仪（GC-MS）对黄杨绢野螟正常型性成熟雌蛾的性腺体提取物和合成标样比较分析,并用反-11-十六碳烯醛(E11-16:Ald) 、顺-11-十六碳烯醛（Z-11-16:Ald）、顺-9-十六碳烯醛（Z-9-16:Ald)、顺-11-十六碳烯醇（Z-11-16:OH)等物质进行触角的电生理测定,最后开展田间诱集比较试验以筛选出最佳性信息素混合物。【结果】Z-11-16:Ald为中国黄杨绢野螟正常型性信息素主要组分,E-11-16:Ald的含量极低,Z-11-16:OH未检测到。正常型雄性黄杨绢野螟触角对Z-11-16:Ald, E-11-16:Ald, Z-9-16:Ald和Z-11-16:OH产生强烈的EAG反应,并随着浓度的提高而显著增加;而对Z-11-16:Ac和E-11-16:Ac的嗅觉反应较弱,低于对植物绿叶气味顺3-己烯乙酸酯（Z-3-6:Ac）的反应。单一Z-1-16:Ald对正常型雄性黄杨绢野螟具有强烈的诱集效果,加入E-11-16:Ald有一定的增效作用,但在统计上则不显著。单一Z-11-16:Ald组分对黑化型雄性黄杨绢野螟无引诱活性,必需加入一定比例的E-11-16:Ald才显示诱蛾活性。Z-11-16:Ald:E-11-16:Ald的比例为250 μg:250 μg时诱集到的黑化型雄性黄杨绢野螟数量最多,而Z-11-16:Ald:E-11-16:Ald的比例为429 μg:71 μg时则诱集到的正常型雄性黄杨绢野螟数量最多。同时,单一Z-11-16:Ald也可引诱大量雄性粘虫Mythimna separata,但E-11-16:Ald抑制其活性。【结论】中国黄杨绢野螟的性信息素主成分是Z-11-16:Ald,单一组分即可在田间强烈引诱雄蛾,E-11-16:Ald的功能只起到微弱的增效作用,但也可能起种的专一性的作用。正常型与黑化型黄杨绢野螟对性信息素的嗅觉反应存在差异,黑化型黄杨绢野螟的性信息素接近日本种,即性信息素组成为Z-11-16:Ald和E-11-16:Ald 的混合物,其比例为1:1,且E-11-16:Ald为必需。     

Electroantennogram responses to the sex pheromone and other odours in the American cockroach

Electroantennogram responses of adult American cockroaches were recorded for the sex pheromone and 30 kinds of monoterpenoids. Strong responses to the sex pheromone were obtained from the antennae of male adults, but not from females. The compounds possessing a hydroxyl or carbonyl group produced significant EAG responses in the antennae. Bornyl acetate, however, was an exception and gave strong responses in both male and female antennae. There was basically no difference between the antennal responsiveness to monoterpenoids tested in both sexes.
