南亚果实蝇各虫态发育历期及有效积温研究

【背景】南亚果实蝇是世界性的检疫性害虫,在我国多个省市发生为害,对瓜果作物造成了严重的经济损失。【方法】采用人工恒温饲养方法,分别设置10、14、18、22、26、30、34℃7个恒温条件,测定不同温度条件下南亚果实蝇卵、幼虫和蛹的生长发育历期,并推算出相应的发育起点温度和有效积温。【结果】南亚果实蝇卵、幼虫和蛹的发育起点温度分别为7．36、2．43、7．64℃,卵期、幼虫期和蛹期的有效积温分别为20．21、187．69和156．65日度。完成整个世代的发育起点温度是7．64℃,有效积温为364．55日度。当温度达到34℃时,卵的发育历期相对延长,而蛹则不能正常发育,无法羽化为成虫。【结论与意义】在10～30℃,南亚果实蝇的卵、幼虫和蛹的发育历期随温度升高而缩短,各虫态的发育速率和温度呈显著正相关;在26和30℃下,卵、幼虫和蛹的发育历期均显著短于其他各处理温度的发育历期。该试验结果为了解南亚果实蝇的发育温度极限和进一步开展该害虫的适生性分析提供了基础信息,进而为制定该虫的检疫措施提供依据。     

南亚果实蝇对六种果实的趋性和产卵选择性

南亚果实蝇Bactroceratau(Walker)是危害黄瓜、南瓜、冬瓜、丝瓜和苦瓜等果蔬作物的一种重要检疫性害虫。趋性反应和产卵选择性实验结果表明,该虫对不同的果实切片具有不同的趋性和产卵选择性。在黄瓜、南瓜和丝瓜上,成虫的落虫数量分别占落虫总量的23.68%,19.94%和21.18%,产卵量分别占产卵总量的21.57%,18.93%和22.74%,均高于其它3种果实冬瓜、苦瓜和柑橘上落虫数和产卵量。幼虫在黄瓜、南瓜和丝瓜上取食的数量亦较高,分别占幼虫总量的23.33%,31.44%和21.67%;而在柑橘上仅占幼虫总量的2.22%。成虫和幼虫均对受害与未受害果实的趋性和选择性表现出一定的差异,总体上在受害果实上的虫口数量较多,而在未受害果实上的数量较少。因此,在这6种寄主植物中,南亚果实蝇喜好在黄瓜、南瓜和丝瓜以及受害的果实上获得补充营养或产卵。     

不同寄主对南亚果实蝇生长发育和繁殖的影响

【目的】探究葫芦科和茄科寄主果实对南亚果实蝇生长、发育和繁殖的影响。【方法】构建南亚果实蝇在南瓜、黄瓜、冬瓜和西红柿上的种群生命表,评价南亚果实蝇在4种寄主上的适应性。【结果】南亚果实蝇在南瓜上的成虫前期存活率(87.96 %)和繁殖力(361.26粒·雌^-1)均显著高于南亚果实蝇在黄瓜(80.00%和288.34粒·雌^-1)、冬瓜(72.03%和84.80粒·单雌^-1)和西红柿(69.69%、76.55粒·单雌^-1)上的成虫前期存活率和繁殖力。以南瓜为寄主的南亚果实蝇的内禀增长率(0.10)和净增值率(90.63)显著高于以黄瓜(0.08和74.37)、冬瓜(0.07和35.62)和西红柿(0.07和26.03)为寄主的南亚果实蝇内禀增长率和净增值率。【结论】南亚果实蝇在4种寄主上均能完成世代周期,但是南瓜是南亚果实蝇最适宜的寄主。     

首次发现沃尔巴克氏体Wolbachia对我国南亚果实蝇的感染现象

沃尔巴克氏体Wolbachia是广泛分布于节肢动物体生殖组织内的一类共生细菌,泰国等已发现Wolbachia感染南亚果实蝇Bactrocera(Zeugodacus)tau(Walker)的现象。利用沃尔巴克氏体wsp基因的1对通用引物(81F,691R)从我国南亚果实蝇的总DNA中扩增到1段500 bp左右的wsp基因片段,并克隆得到了Wolbachia相关序列,首次发现了沃尔巴克氏体对我国南亚果实蝇的感染现象。     

食料对南亚果实蝇解毒酶活力的影响

昆虫解毒酶是一类异质酶系, 对分解大量的内源或外源有毒物质、维持正常生理代谢起着重要作用。本文采用生物化学的方法测定了5种寄主果实对南亚果实蝇Bactrocera tau Walker 3个虫态体内总蛋白含量和5种解毒酶的活力。双因子方差分析显示, 南亚果实蝇种群取食黄瓜Cucumis sativus L.、南瓜Cucurbita moschala L.、丝瓜Luffa cylindrical L.、冬瓜Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Coqn.和苦瓜Momordica charantia L.后, 体内蛋白含量和解毒酶活性均存在显著差异。以丝瓜为食料时, 南亚果实蝇体内蛋白含量较高; 而以黄瓜和冬瓜为食料时蛋白含量则相对较低。在以上5种寄主果实间, 南亚果实蝇的羧酸酯酶（CarE）活性在黄瓜和南瓜上较高, 细胞色素P450 O-脱甲基和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GST）活性在苦瓜上较高, 酸性磷酸酯酶（ACP）和碱性磷酸酯酶（ALP）活性却分别在黄瓜和南瓜上较低。在幼虫、蛹和成虫3个虫态间, 解毒酶活性亦存在显著差异, 成虫具有较高的CarE活性;幼虫具有较高的细胞色素P450 O-脱甲基, GST和ALP活性,但具有较低的ACP活性;除ACP外,蛹期解毒酶活性均较低。据以上结果可以推测,南亚果实蝇解毒酶活力受寄主果实种类以及该种群本身发育阶段的影响。     

寄主植物对南亚果实蝇过冷却点和体液冰点的影响

南亚果实蝇Zeugodacus tau(Walker)是一种世界性的重要检疫害虫,严重危害多种水果和瓜菜。为明确寄主植物对南亚果实蝇耐寒性的影响,本文利用过冷却点仪,对取食苦瓜Momordica charantia L.、黄瓜Cucumis sativus L.、丝瓜Luffa aegyptiaca Miller和杧果Mangifera indica L.的南亚果实蝇5个发育阶段的过冷却点和体液冰点进行了测定。结果显示：每一组寄主植物上的5个发育阶段中,南亚果实蝇5日龄蛹的过冷却点和体液冰点均为最低,显著低于1日龄蛹、幼虫和成虫;不同寄主南亚果实蝇同一发育阶段的过冷却点和体液冰点存在显著差异,均值分别为-23.97～-8.06℃和-14.02～-0.59℃,其中取食苦瓜的南亚果实蝇5日龄蛹过冷却点和体液冰点最低,均值分别为-23.97℃和-14.02℃,但与黄瓜无显著差异;4种寄主中老熟幼虫、1日龄蛹、1日龄雌成虫和5日龄雌成虫过冷却点均为取食黄瓜最低;杧果种群1日龄雌成虫过冷却点最高,均值为-7.47℃,苦瓜种群老熟幼虫体液冰点最高,均值为-0.59℃。本研究有助于了解寄主对南亚果实...

Genetic relationship of the melon fly,Bactrocera cucurbitae (Diptera: Tephritidae) inferred from mitochondrial DNA

Abstract The melon fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), has been the subject of worldwide quarantine and management efforts due to its widespread agricultural impact and potential for rapid range expansion. From its presumed native distribution in India, this species has spread throughout the hot‐humid regions of the world. We provide information that reveals population structure, invasion history and population connectivity from 23 locations covering nine countries based on DNA sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene. Forty‐two polymorphic sites were described among 38 haplotypes. The most common haplotype, H1, was observed in 73% of the samples distributed among all populations. Highest genetic diversity was seen within populations, and no isolation‐by‐distance was detected. The western regions (Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand, Burma and China‐west) showed higher haplotype diversity than eastern regions (China‐east). China‐Yunnan showed highest levels of genetic diversity in China. Haplotype diversity decreased with longitude from west to east. Together, these analyses suggest that B. cucurbitae has expanded from west to east within a limited geographic scale and recently invaded China through Yunnan Province.     

Effects of temperature on the fecundity and longevity of Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillet) (Diptera: Tephritidae) on artificial diet

The melon fruit fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), is an important polyphagous pest that damages to various agricultural crops, whose distribution has become global as a result of human activity. In this study, we investigated the fecundity, pre-oviposition and oviposition periods, and the longevity of adult Z. cucurbitae at various constant temperatures ranging from 15 to 35.2°C. One newly emerged one virgin female and two males of Z. cucurbitae were used, and the longevity of both sexes and the fecundity of the females were examined daily. The longevity of female Z. cucurbitae ranged from 183.8 days at 15.0°C to 30.8 days at 35.2°C, and the maximum fecundity per female was 1204 eggs at 24.5°C. The lower development threshold (LDT) and thermal constant (K) of females were estimated as 14.8°C and 781.13 degree-days, respectively. Female reproduction was modeled using a two-phase oviposition model. Oviposition was estimated using females in the oviposition phase, which had a complete pre-oviposition phase. The oviposition model consisted of two reproductive components (total fecundity and age-specific cumulative oviposition rate during oviposition) and a survival component (age-specific survival rate). The daily egg production of Z. cucurbitae was estimated in relation to adult age and temperature.     

Interaction between microtubule-associated protein tau and spectrin

Tau factor, one of the microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), is shown here to bind to spectrin. Evidence for an interaction between these two proteins is provided by spectrin affinity chromatography of brain MAPs, gel overlay of electrophoresed MAPs with ¹²⁵I-labelled spectrin, incorporation of tau factor in human erythrocyte ghosts, and demonstration that tau inhibits the F-actin cross-linking activity of tetrameric spectrin.The wide distribution of both tau and spectrin-like proteins in eukaryotic cells in in favor of the possible biological significance of this interaction. The results suggest that tau could be one of the proteins involved in the concerted regulation of microtubule and actin networks in the membrane vicinity.     

Study on interaction between microtubule associated protein tau and prion protein

Microtubule-associated protein tau is considered to play roles in many neurodegenerative diseases including some transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. To address the possible molecular linkage of prion protein (PrP) and tau, a GST-fusion segment of human tau covering the three-repeat region and various PrP segments was used in the tests of GST pull-down and immunoprecipitation. We found tau protein interacted with various style prion proteins such as native prion protein (PrPC) or protease-resistant isoform (prpSc). Co-localization signals of tau and PrP were found in the CHO cell tranfected with both PrP and tau gene. The domain of interaction with tau was located at N-terminal of PrP (residues 23 to 91). The evidence of molecular interactions between PrP and tau protein highlights a potential role of tau in the biological function of PrP and the pathogenesis of TSEs.

Population genetic structure of Zeugodacus tau species complex in Thailand

1. The tephritid fruit fly Zeugodacus tau is a serious agriculture pest, especially of cucurbits in Thailand, where it is classified as a complex species of nine siblings (Z. tau A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I and J).
2. Based on single‐strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, 33 distinct mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) haplotypes were found in three sibling species, Z. tau A, C and J, in Thailand. Genetic structure analysis of the population revealed relatively large genetic differences among these sibling species, reflecting a tendency toward speciation.
3. The maximum likelihood tree and median‐joining network reconstructed from the mtCOI sequences of 33 haplotypes supported the separation of these three sibling species within the Z. tau complex.
4. The three‐level hierarchical analysis of molecular variance based on geographical regions and the Mantel test for isolation‐by‐distance showed significant genetic structuring of the Z. tau complex in Thailand.
5. However, the genetic differentiation among geographical groups was rather low, which may be reasonably explained by natural and human mediated dispersal, as well as host associated differentiation.
6. The SSCP analysis on the population genetic structure of Z. tau species complex in the present study should benefit pest management.

Acetylation changes tau interactome to degrade tau in Alzheimer’s disease animal and organoid models

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age‐related neurodegenerative disease. The most common pathological hallmarks are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. In the brains of patients with AD, pathological tau is abnormally accumulated causing neuronal loss, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive decline. We found a histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor, CKD‐504, changed the tau interactome dramatically to degrade pathological tau not only in AD animal model (ADLP^APT) brains containing both amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles but also in AD patient‐derived brain organoids. Acetylated tau recruited chaperone proteins such as Hsp40, Hsp70, and Hsp110, and this complex bound to novel tau E3 ligases including UBE2O and RNF14. This complex degraded pathological tau through proteasomal pathway. We also identified the responsible acetylation sites on tau. These dramatic tau‐interactome changes may result in tau degradation, leading to the recovery of synaptic pathology and cognitive decline in the ADLP^APT mice.     

云南四个瓜实蝇地理种群的遗传关系分析

对云南个不同地理区域的瓜实蝇种群(Bactrocera cucurbitae)共23个个体的线粒体DNA细胞色素b基因中的部分序列进行测定和分析,并以桔小实蝇(B.dorsalis)、番石榴实蝇(B.correct)和南瓜实蝇(B.tau)为外群种构建了不同单倍型的N-J分子系统树.在获得的26bp序列中,A+T含量约占65.0%,有个多态位点,无任何碱基插入和缺失.这些位点共定义5种单倍型,其中一种为共享单倍型.对个瓜实蝇地理种群进行Fst值和基因流动统计,Fst值为0.16667～0.20000(P＞0.05),Nm值为2.00～2.50.5种单倍型共形成了3个聚类簇.可以认为,个地理种群间均存在一定程度的遗传分化,但分化程度不高,导致遗传分化的主要因素是地理隔离,而种群遗传分化程度低与瓜实蝇所在环境条件相似有关.
