寄主龄期、过寄生和寄主饥饿处理对菜蛾盘绒茧蜂幼蜂及畸形细胞发育的影响

过寄生、寄生时寄主龄期和寄生后寄主饥饿处理影响菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae（Kurdj.）幼蜂及畸形细胞的发育。显微解剖和观察表明,4龄小菜蛾Plutella xylostella L.幼虫被寄生后,其体内菜蛾盘绒茧蜂幼蜂发育不整齐、假寄生比例增高。过寄生后,每头被寄生的寄主血腔中畸形细胞数量明显增多,但直径变小;随着过寄生程度的加剧,幼蜂发育严重受阻。寄主营养显著影响体内幼蜂及畸形细胞的发育,被寄生的小菜蛾经饥饿处理62 h后,体内畸形细胞的数量、活性明显降低,与此同时,幼蜂的发育也受到明显抑制,寄主发育与寄生蜂和畸形细胞的发育呈正相关性。由此可见,寄主不同龄期、过寄生及寄主营养状况均对寄主体内幼蜂和畸形细胞发育产生影响。     

寄主卵龄和接触时间对夜蛾黑卵蜂寄生能力的影响

在温度(26±1)℃、RH70%±5%、光暗比L:D=12:12的条件下,研究了在接触时间为6、12、24、36h情况下,夜蛾黑卵蜂Telenomus remus Nixon对卵龄为0、6、12、24、36h的甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua(Hübner)第1天和第2天所产卵的寄生率、子代羽化率和性比。结果表明,夜蛾黑卵蜂寄生第1天卵龄为6h的寄主卵24h后,寄生率、子代羽化率和性比显著高于其他条件,分别为56.97%、89.11%和87.63%;寄生第2天相同条件的卵,寄生率、子代羽化率和性比也显著高于其他条件,分别为54.47%、95.37%和88.72%;寄生第1天和第2天的卵,其寄生率和子代性比差异不显著,但寄生第2天卵的子代羽化率显著高于寄生第1天卵的子代羽化率。因此,在室内以甜菜夜蛾为寄主繁育夜蛾黑卵蜂,最好以甜菜夜蛾第2天卵龄为6h的卵为寄主,接触时间以24h最适。该结果对夜蛾黑卵蜂应用于田间防治甜菜夜蛾具有指导意义。     

菜蛾盘绒茧蜂多分DNA病毒的特性及其对小菜蛾幼虫的生理效应

对菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae多分DNA病毒的特性及其对寄主小菜蛾Plutella xylostella幼虫的生理效应进行了研究。结果表明：菜蛾盘绒茧蜂雌蜂输卵管萼中含有大量的多分DNA病毒（polydnavirus, PDV）;一个PDV内含多个核衣壳,最多可达16个;核衣壳长40～168 nm,直径39～40 nm;PDV仅在输卵管萼细胞内复制;雌蜂产卵时,随蜂卵将PDV注入寄主血腔,并扩散到寄主的许多组织中;PDV可能先通过脱膜再侵染寄主组织。雌蜂经Co⁶⁰辐射处理后再寄生（即假寄生）小菜蛾2龄、3龄和4龄初期的幼虫,被寄生后的寄主幼虫几乎全部不能化蛹,但末龄（即4龄）幼虫期显著延长,并在寄生后期,幼虫胸部有褐色的短翅芽出现;即将化蛹的4龄末小菜蛾幼虫被假寄生后,即使每头寄主被过寄生9次,依然能正常化蛹,但不能羽化。假寄生与正常寄生后寄主的脂肪体数量和形态结构有明显的不同,推测在正常寄生的情况下蜂卵孵化时释放的畸形细胞及随后的幼蜂可能对脂肪体的结构产生了作用。

宽额螯蜂的幼期形态及生物学特性研究

宽额螯蜂Dryinus latus Olmi在山东商河寄生恶性席瓢蜡蝉Sivaloka damnosus Chouet Lu若虫,具有捕食和寄生的双重控制作用。首次明确该蜂寄主,记述其幼期形态特征、生活史、生活习性。在山东商河1年发生2代,以4龄老熟幼虫在茧内越冬。翌年4月下旬至5月上旬为化蛹盛期,5月中旬越冬代成虫开始出现,捕捉寄主若虫补充营养。成虫主要产卵于恶性席瓢蜡蝉3～5龄若虫前后翅芽下紧贴体背的淡绿色组织上。第1代卵历期平均78.1h,幼虫孵化至脱囊平均历时209.5h,产卵至脱囊平均历时280.0h,蛹期平均386.4h。幼虫作茧于枝条、叶片或地面枯叶上,茧外缀有枝条表皮或叶片碎屑。7月下旬至8月上旬出现第1代成虫,第2代幼虫8月上旬开始脱囊结茧越冬。野外寄生率27.8%～45.7%,控制作用显著。     

两种赤眼蜂对小菜蛾卵的寄生能力和种间竞争

在实验室内研究了本地天敌拟澳洲赤眼蜂和外来天敌短管赤眼蜂在不同卵龄和不同空间条件下对小菜蛾卵的寄生和种间竞争.结果表明,在0～62 h的小菜蛾卵上,拟澳洲赤眼蜂和短管赤眼蜂单独接蜂时对小菜蛾卵的寄生率、子代羽化率、子代雌蜂百分率随卵龄下降,而后代发育死亡率则随卵龄增加.短管赤眼蜂对各龄小菜蛾卵的寄生率、子代羽化率、子代雌蜂百分率均较拟澳洲赤眼蜂高,而子代蜂的发育死亡率则较拟澳洲赤眼蜂低.两种蜂对小菜蛾卵龄的要求都不太严格,在小于48 h的小菜蛾卵上都能产卵寄生,且寄生率高于50%,但短管赤眼蜂寄生对小菜蛾卵龄的要求更宽松.在两种蜂混合接蜂时,后代中短管赤眼蜂的比例在各处理中都高于50%,且随寄主卵龄增加,当小菜蛾卵龄大于48 h后,短管赤眼蜂的比例高达100%,说明短管赤眼蜂对小菜蛾有更强的寄生能力和竞争能力.拟澳洲赤眼蜂和短管赤眼蜂单独接蜂时,在4～22cm^3空间范围内,各处理间对小菜蛾卵的寄生率没有显著差异,而短管赤眼蜂的寄生率(76.4%～86%)略低于拟澳洲赤眼蜂(88.7%～92.3%).当空间大于53 cm^3时,寄生率显著下降,在102cm^3空间时显著降低到50%.混合接蜂时各处理间寄生率差异不显著.两种接蜂方式对后代羽化率和雌蜂百分率没有太大影响,蜂的后代发育死亡率在两种蜂单独接蜂时随空间而增加.在4～102cm^3空间范围内,混合接蜂后代雄蜂中短管赤眼蜂从80%以上降低到20%以下,说明短管赤眼蜂的竞争能力随接蜂空间的加大而降低.     

一种中红侧沟茧蜂畸形细胞分泌的寄生特异蛋白

SDS-PAGE电泳表明,黏虫Pseudaletia separa-ta、棉铃虫 Helicoverpa armigera、小地老虎 Agrotisypsilon的幼虫受中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator寄生后,血淋巴中都出现一个98.6 kDa的寄生特异蛋白(p98.6)。畸形细胞(teratocytes)的体外培养发现,p98.6是由来自中红侧沟茧蜂胚胎浆膜层的畸形细胞分泌的。这一结果将为研究寄生蜂的寄生生理和畸形细胞在协调寄生蜂和寄主关系中的作用打下基础。     

稻瘿蚊的天敌黄柄黑蜂个体发育及其生物学

黄柄黑蜂是稻瘿蚊的群居内寄生天敌,常产卵二、三堆在寄主卵或初孵幼虫体内,每堆卵10多粒,每粒卵发育为一个体,是属单胚繁殖。卵梭状,长15微米,宽6微米。卵母细胞两次成熟。在日平均温度29.5℃下,卵核第一次分裂形成纺锤体大约在产卵后10—12小时,第二次分裂形成纺锤体约在产卵后24小时。在产卵后48小时,两个极体在卵的前端合并为极核,雌性原核和雄性原核在卵的后端合并为分裂核。产卵后2.5天,卵粒长大,此时称为寄生体,胚区及包围它的滋养羊膜形成。当寄生体发育至第4天,副核团分裂一大一小两块占据卵的前端。寄生体发育至5—6天,就变为圆形,胚核由一个分裂为2个、4个。卵产后8天,囊胚层形成。产后10—13天,寄生体长达300微米,宽192微米。卵期13—14天。幼虫期仅3天。蛹期8—10天。在一寄主内能发育9—61头黄柄黑蜂。雌蜂具有避免在同一寄主上重复产卵的本能。雌雄性比为8:1。每年发生8代,以早期胚在稻瘿蚊1龄幼虫体内越冬。     

前裂长管茧蜂个体发育研究

前裂长管茧蜂Diachasmimorpha longicaudata（Ashmead）是许多双翅目实蝇类害虫的重要寄生性天敌。在实验室条件下,以桔小实蝇Bactrocera dorsalis（Hendel）为繁育寄主,系统观测了前裂长管茧蜂个体发育过程中各虫态的特征及其相应的发育历期。观察结果表明,前裂长管茧蜂整个生活史由卵、幼虫、蛹及成虫四个阶段组成。其幼虫可划分为四个龄期,一龄幼虫具几质丁的坚硬头壳和镰刀状的颚,形态特征与行为习性与二、三、四龄幼虫完全不同。前裂长管茧蜂约需20天完成世代发育。卵、一龄幼虫、二龄幼虫、三龄幼虫及四龄幼虫的历期依次为1．91、2．02、1．75、2．04和2．31d;蛹的历期介于8～10d,雌性个体发育时间长于雄性。前裂长管茧蜂通常比未被寄生的寄主迟3～5d羽化,雌、雄蜂在羽化后即能交配、产卵,被寄生的桔小实蝇幼虫体表上会留下明显的深褐色产卵孔,寄主化蛹后产卵孔仍保留在其蛹壳上。     

拟寄生蜂搜索产卵过程中对寄主的竞争

综述拟寄生蜂搜索产卵过程中对寄主竞争的最新研究进展.这类竞争具有四种方式,即标记寄主、杀卵和杀幼、守护寄主和捕食寄主.（1）标记寄主常涉及寄主标记信息素,这是由雌蜂在产卵前、产卵时或产卵后分泌的化学物质.寄主标记信息素常介导拟寄生蜂对已寄生和健康寄主的辨别、减少过寄生和多寄生、减轻种内和种间竞争压力.（2）雌蜂遇到已寄生寄主时,很多种类杀死前一雌蜂遗留的卵和幼虫,再产下自己的卵.雌蜂使用三种方法杀卵和杀幼,即产卵器穿刺、取食和使用有毒物质.通过杀卵和杀幼,产卵雌蜂清除了前一雌蜂遗留的后代,主动改善了寄主品质,从而有利于自身后代的生存.（3）守护寄主在肿腿蜂科、缘腹细蜂科、金小蜂科、缨小蜂科和茧蜂科中均有报道,守护者驱逐入侵者以保护后代及健康寄主.（4）捕食寄主不仅减少了健康寄主数量,且直接导致已寄生寄主中拟寄生蜂卵和幼虫的死亡.雌蜂一般在体内成熟卵量较少时捕食寄主.讨论了研究拟寄生蜂搜索产卵过程中竞争寄主的理论意义和实际应用价值.     

Morphology and ultrastructure of the serosal cells (teratocytes) in Cardiochiles nigriceps Viereck (Hymenoptera : Braconidae) embryos

The morphogenetic changes of the serosal membrane during embryonic development of Cardiochiles nigriceps Viereck (Hymenoptera : Braconidae) were investigated. Eggs observed soon after oviposition into the natural host Heliothis virescens (F.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) showed a transparent chorion and a uniform texture. After 5 hr, the embryo exhibited a distinct granular appearance and by 12 hr attained the germ band stage. A serosal membrane originated from the anterior pole of the embryo between 14 and 15 hr after the egg was laid, eventually forming with the cells both in the anterior and posterior pole a continuous envelope around the developing embryo.Ultrastructural observations revealed that the serosal cells in contact with the abdominal region of the embryo, beginning 24–25 hr after oviposition, formed a syncytium. However, the syncytial tissue did not extend to the cells around the head and thorax. The serosal cells at both embryo poles increased in size without losing their structural organization, and developed into teratocytes when the larva hatched. In contrast, the serosal cells surrounding the body of the embryo persisted longer on the head and thorax region of the newly hatched larva, while the syncytial tissue degraded more rapidly after hatching.In vitro rearing experiments showed that C. nigriceps embryos removed from parasitized host larvae just before and just after serosa formation, hatched only when the medium used was formulated with the addition of fetal bovine serum. Embryos did not develop or hatch when placed in a serum-free medium. Once the syncytium deriving from the serosal membrane became evident, embryos readily developed and hatched in serumfree media. The results of this study seem to suggest that the serosal embryonic membrane could have a nutritional role for the developing parasitoid embryo.     

Stage-dependent strategies of host invasion in the egg-larval parasitoid Chelonus inanitus

Chelonus inanitus (Braconidae) is a solitary egg-larval parasitoid which lays its eggs into eggs of Spodoptera littoralis (Noctuidae); the parasitoid larva then develops in the haemocoel of the host larva. Host embryonic development lasts approx. 3.5 days while parasitoid embryonic development lasts approx. 16 h. All stages of host eggs can be successfully parasitized, and we show here that either the parasitoid larva or the wasp assures that the larva eventually is located in the host's haemocoel. (1) When freshly laid eggs, up to almost 1-day-old, are parasitized, the parasitoid hatches while still in the yolk and enters the host either after waiting or immediately through the dorsal opening. (2) When 1-2-day-old eggs are parasitized, the host embryo has accomplished final dorsal closure and is covered by an embryonic cuticle when the parasitoid hatches; in this case the parasitoid larva bores with its moving abdominal tip into the host. (3) When 2.5-3.5-day-old eggs are parasitized, the wasp oviposits directly into the haemocoel of the host embryo; from day 2 to 2.5 the embryo is still very small and the wasps, after probing, often restrain from oviposition for a few hours.     

Free serosal cells originating from the embryo of the wasp Diadromus pulchellus in the pupal body of parasitized leek-moth,Acrolepiosis assectella. Are these cells teratocyte-like?

In braconid species, teratocytes are derived from a serosal cell membrane which envelops the developing parasitoid embryo. On hatching, this membrane dissociates into individual cells, the teratocytes, which then circulate in the haemolymph of the host. We describe herein such a membrane, surrounding the embryo in eggs of the ichneumonid parasitoid wasp, Diadromus pulchellus. This membrane consisted of a single sheet of tightly packed cells with large 12+/-1.4 &mgr;m nuclei. These cells were released after hatching in vitro and cells of the same size were detected in vivo, in the vicinity of the D. pulchellus embryo. The number of nuclei detected suggests that the serosal membrane consists of about 450+/-150 cells. These cells did not grow after hatching of the parasitoid egg in the parasitized host, Acrolepiosis assectella, during the development of the parasitoid wasp larva. Southern blot experiments, using D. pulchellus satellite DNA or the ribosomal genes as probes, showed that free-living floating cells of wasp origin were present in the body of the parasitized host. This is the first time that free-floating teratocyte-like cells have been described in species of the Ichneumonidae.     

黄连木种子小蜂的生物学特性和发生规律

通过田间及室内饲养观察,黄连木种子小蜂EurytomaplotnikoviNikolskaya在河南省太行山区为1年发生1代,以老熟幼虫在被害果内过冬。翌年4月中旬开始化蛹,5月下旬至6月上旬为成虫羽化产卵的盛期。幼虫5月中旬开始孵化,在果内取食至8月中、下旬老熟越冬。成虫在果壳内停留4～5d,出壳后成虫寿命:雄虫3～7d,雌虫4～17d,产卵前期3.7d。平均产卵量35.4粒,卵期3～4d。幼虫共5龄,预蛹期4～5d,蛹期8～10d,蛹期发育过程中形态变化的阶段性分为4级。成虫交尾产卵的最适温度为23～25℃,化蛹、羽化较适宜的湿度为65%～70%。     

Ultrastructure of Microplitis croceipes (Cresson) (Braconidae : Hymenoptera) teratocytes

The developing embryo of the braconid, Microplitis croceipes (Braconidae : Hymenoptera), is encased in an extraembryonic serosal membrane. Hatching of the parasitoid within the larva of its habitual host, Hehothis virescens (Noctuidae : Lepidoptera), is initiated about 40 hr after oviposition when held at 25 ± 2°C. At this time, the monolayered serosal membrane begins to dissociate into individual cells (teratocytes). After dissociation, teratocytes become dispersed in the hemolymph of the host. The average number of teratocytes released from each parasitoid embryo is 914 ± 43. Teratocytes average 14.1 ± 2.4 μm in diameter when first released, and reach a maximum average diameter of 68.1 ± 4.6 μm 6 days after liberation. Newly released teratocytes have ovoid nuclei, simple mitochondria and a limited number of profiles of the endoplasmic reticulum, all of which indicate relative metabolic inactivity. The ramified nuclei, extensive endoplasmic reticulum, polymorphic mitochondria and accumulation of glycogen granules and lipid droplets observed in older teratocytes provide circumstantial evidence that protein synthesis is occurring. Within hours after dissociation, microvilli begin to cover the surface of the teratocytes. Anatomical deformation (blebs) that occurred on some older (8-day-old) teratocytes probably resulted from enlargement or expansion of microvilli.

Histological study of the development of the embryo and early larva of Oreochromis niloticus (Pisces: Cichlidae)

The developmental stages of Oreochromis niloticus are similar to those described in other mouth-breeding tilapias except that, as in zebrafish, no cavity was found in the blastula. Variation in the rate of development of the embryo and larva of O. niloticus was found within a clutch of eggs as well as between clutches. Hatching glands are described for the first time in tilapias. They are widely distributed within the ectoderm covering the head, body, tail, and surface of the yolk sac near its attachment to the embryo. Timing of larval development is similar to that in other mouthbrooding tilapias, but is slower than that found in substrate-spawning tilapias. A pneumatic duct connects the swimbladder to the digestive tract and swimbladder inflation and initiation of feeding occurs at about the same time. The digestive tract of the larva 8 and 9 days after fertilization is similar to that found in the adult, except that there are no digestive glands. An endocrine pancreatic islet was first seen 76 h after fertilization. A prominent thymus gland is present at 100 h. Hematopoietic tissue develops in the vicinity of the pronephros during early larval development. A spleen develops later, 7 days after fertilization.     

The extraembryonic serosa protects the insect egg against desiccation

Insects have been extraordinarily successful in occupying terrestrial habitats, in contrast to their mostly aquatic sister group, the crustaceans. This success is typically attributed to adult traits such as flight, whereas little attention has been paid to adaptation of the egg. An evolutionary novelty of insect eggs is the serosa, an extraembryonic membrane that enfolds the embryo and secretes a cuticle. To experimentally test the protective function of the serosa, we exploit an exceptional possibility to eliminate this membrane by zerknüllt1 RNAi in the beetle Tribolium castaneum. We analyse hatching rates of eggs under a range of humidities and find dramatically decreasing hatching rates with decreasing humidities for serosa-less eggs, but not for control eggs. Furthermore, we show serosal expression of Tc-chitin-synthase1 and demonstrate that its knock-down leads to absence of the serosal cuticle and a reduction in hatching rates at low humidities. These developmental genetic techniques in combination with ecological testing provide experimental evidence for a crucial role of the serosa in desiccation resistance. We propose that the origin of this extraembryonic membrane facilitated the spectacular radiation of insects on land, as did the origin of the amniote egg in the terrestrial invasion of vertebrates.     

Embryogenesis of the dipluran Lepidocampa weberi Oudemans (hexapoda: diplura, campodeidae): formation of dorsal organ and related phenomena

The developmental changes of embryonic membranes of a dipluran Lepidocampa weberi, with special reference to dorsal organ formation, are described in detail by light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopies. Newly differentiated germ band and serosa secrete the blastodermic cuticle at the entire egg surface beneath the chorion. Soon after, the serosal cells start to move dorsad. All the serosal cells finally concentrate at the dorsal side of the egg and form the dorsal organ. During their concentration, the serosal cells attenuate their cytoplasm to form filaments. The extensive area from which the serosa has receded is occupied by a second embryonic membrane, the amnion, which originates from the embryonic margin. The embryo and newly emerged amnion then secrete three fine cuticular layers, "cuticular lamellae I, II, and III," above which the filaments of the (developing) dorsal organ are situated. With the progression of definitive dorsal closure, the amnion reduces its extension, the dorsal organ is incorporated into the body cavity of the embryo, and the amnion and dorsal organ finally degenerate.The dorsal organ of diplurans is formed by the concentration of whole serosal cells, while that of collembolans is formed by the direct differentiation of a part of serosal cells. However, the dorsal organs of diplurans and collembolans closely resemble each other in major aspects, including that of ultrastructural features, and there is no doubt regarding their homology. The amnion, which has been regarded as being a characteristic of Ectognatha, also develops in the Diplura. This might suggest a closer affinity between the Diplura and Ectognatha than previously believed.     

斑痣悬茧蜂寄生对甜菜夜蛾幼虫取食和食物利用的影响

为研究甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua幼虫被斑痣悬茧蜂Meteorus pulchricornis寄生后的取食以及食物利用情况,在室内采用重量法测定了甜菜夜蛾4龄幼虫被寄生后取食量、体重增加量、营养指标的变化。结果表明：被寄生甜菜夜蛾幼虫的取食量、生长率和食物利用效率等明显受到抑制,幼虫被寄生后第3-6 d 取食量显著小于未被寄生幼虫,寄生后第4 d 的幼虫取食量只有正常幼虫的29.89%,第5 d只有48.69%。幼虫在寄生后的第3-5 d体重增加量显著小于未被寄生幼虫,分别为正常幼虫的21.51%,38.87%和14.42%,相对生长率则也显著低于后者。被寄生甜菜夜蛾幼虫的营养利用表现也明显不同于未被寄生幼虫,反映生长和代谢效率的食物利用率（ECI）和食物转化率（ECD）均显著降低,而反映吸收效率的近似消化率（AD）则提高。虽然在寄生后第4 d出现了相反的现象,其原因可能在于第4 d取食量明显减少,而体重仍在增加。本研究表明,斑痣悬茧蜂寄生明显抑制寄主甜菜夜蛾幼虫的取食、食物利用效率和生长。
