内蒙半干旱低山区不同纯林土壤腐殖质分异特征及其与其他生物化学性质的关系

纯林土壤腐殖质含量及其构成是否会因枯落叶组成的单一性和单优群落环境的特殊性而发生分异变化是关系到森林可持续经营的关键问题.本文以内蒙半干旱低山区的6种典型纯林为研究对象,研究了不同树种纯林土壤腐殖质分异特征及其与其他生物化学性质的关系.结果表明：云杉和白桦林地土壤的腐殖质含量、缩合程度和稳定性均较高,其次为小叶杨和落叶松林地,再次为白榆林地,而油松林地土壤的腐殖质含量和缩合程度均最低、稳定性最差.土壤微生物生物量和磷酸酶活性与腐殖质各组分的积累及其稳定性存在相互促进作用;过氧化氢酶和脱氢酶活性则与土壤腐殖质存在相互抑制作用,且脱氢酶活性的提高可能破坏腐殖质的稳定性.速效N含量与腐殖质积累及其稳定性呈正相关,而全量Cu、Fe、Zn含量与腐殖质呈负相关,全Cu、Fe的增加可能会破坏腐殖质的稳定性.纯林环境及其枯落叶性质的特殊性是造成腐殖质分异的重要原因,混交改造或增加林下植被是改善土壤腐殖质构成的根本措施.     

小菜蛾及菜蛾绒茧蜂乙酰胆碱酯酶敏感性的相关变化

用生物测定和生化检测的方法,对福州地区小菜蛾Plutella xylostella和菜蛾绒茧蜂Apanteles plutellae的抗药性及两种昆虫乙酰胆碱酯酶对杀虫剂的敏感性进行了田间监测。结果显示,从1998年9月至1999年4月,小菜蛾乙酰胆碱酯酶对6种有机磷和氨基甲酸酯杀虫剂敏感性逐渐恢复,寄生于同一虫源的菜蛾绒茧蜂乙酰胆碱酯酶敏感性的变化也呈明显的相关性,但菜蛾绒茧蜂乙酰胆碱酯酶的敏感性高于其寄主小菜蛾。脱离选择压力后,两种昆虫对杀虫剂的敏感性迅速恢复,乙酰胆碱酯酶的K_i值显著增高。对乙酰胆碱酯酶的K_m、V_max和K_i值测定结果表明,两种昆虫对有机磷和氨基甲酸酯杀虫剂的抗性与乙酰胆碱酯酶对杀虫剂的不敏感性有关。此外还研究了不同发育期小菜蛾乙酰胆碱酯酶活性及其K_i值的变化。探讨了在杀虫剂选择压力下,两种昆虫乙酰胆碱酯酶敏感性的环境适应性变化机制。     

菜蛾盘绒茧蜂主要寄生因子导致的寄主小菜蛾幼虫脂肪体结构的变化

在不同的寄生状态下,菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae不同的寄生因子可引起寄主小菜蛾Plutella xylostella幼虫脂肪体结构发生相应的改变。显微和亚显微形态结构显示： 假寄生后多分DNA病毒和毒液对脂肪体结构的完整性没有显著影响,但细胞内脂质体变得小而密集,线粒体和内质网丰富,并有糖原积累; 正常寄生后,脂肪体结构被破坏,多数线粒体内嵴紊乱,脂质体也变得不规则,特别是当幼蜂完成在寄主体内发育时,寄主体内几乎无完整脂肪体存在。与此同时,同批未被寄生的小菜蛾幼虫发育到4龄末期时,体内脂肪体细胞发育正常,已开始向蛹期细胞形态转化,细胞内脂质体很大,细胞器数量较多、糖原积累丰富, 而且部分细胞已成为游离态细胞。由此证明,寄生蜂携带的寄生因子,如多分DNA病毒、毒液、畸形细胞和幼蜂等,均对寄主脂肪体结构的改变产生影响,但程度明显不同。     

菜蛾盘绒茧蜂寄生对寄主小菜蛾幼虫丝腺的影响

菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia vestalis寄生对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella幼虫丝腺形态结构、丝腺内蛋白组分及含量有显著的影响。寄生后的小菜蛾幼虫的丝腺细胞不经历膨大期即开始凋亡,无法大量分泌蛋白,因此蛋白含量显著低于未寄生的小菜蛾丝腺内的蛋白,且蛋白组分也有一定程度的差异,主要是50 kDa以上的蛋白含量和种类的差别较大。     

菜蛾盘绒茧蜂对寄主小菜蛾幼虫营养的调节和利用

寄主小菜蛾Plutella xylostella被内寄生蜂菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae寄生后,其取食、发育及营养代谢在各种寄生因子的作用下伴随幼蜂的发育而发生很大的变化,畸形细胞作为调节因子之一也发挥了重要的作用。本实验通过比较被寄生和未被寄生小菜蛾血淋巴蛋白浓度以及两种血淋巴对菜蛾盘绒茧蜂幼蜂进行体外培养的培养液的蛋白浓度,发现被寄生小菜蛾血淋巴比未被寄生小菜蛾血淋巴的蛋白浓度略低但差异不显著,而未被寄生小菜蛾血淋巴幼蜂培养液的蛋白浓度显著低于被寄生小菜蛾血淋巴幼蜂培养液的蛋白浓度,证明畸形细胞的蛋白质分泌功能。被寄生后期, 小菜蛾体重明显大于未被寄生的小菜蛾体重,而脂肪体重量相比正好相反;通过显微染色观察,在小菜蛾念珠状脂肪体表面粘附有畸形细胞,对脂肪体进行分解破坏而使其成颗粒状; 蛋白含量和脂滴浓度测定也表明,脂肪体的可溶性蛋白含量和脂滴浓度也迅速降低,同比低于未被寄生小菜蛾。而与此同时,幼蜂正处在快速生长阶段,中肠酯酶的活性逐步上升,幼蜂得以快速消化吸收小菜蛾体内的营养直到完成幼虫发育,整个幼蜂的脂滴浓度也达到了最大值。因此寄生后期,推测在畸形细胞的协助下,幼蜂吸收了寄主小菜蛾体内的营养为自身生长发育所用。     

闭弯尾姬蜂与菜蛾盘绒茧蜂寄生菜蛾幼虫时的种间竞争

在室内25℃下,以菜蛾3龄初幼虫作寄主,研究了菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae和半闭弯尾姬蜂Diadegma semiclausum的种间竞争。当寄主供2种蜂同时产卵寄生时,2种蜂各自的寄生率与其单独寄生时无显著差异,合计寄生率比一种蜂单独存在时有所提高,但差异不显著。2种蜂均能产卵寄生已被另一种蜂寄生了的寄主幼虫。当寄主被2种蜂寄生的间隔时间很短（少于10 h）时,所育出的蜂绝大部分（80%以上）为绒茧蜂;当寄主先被绒茧蜂寄生,并饲养2天以上再供弯尾姬蜂寄生时,所育出的全为绒茧蜂;当寄主先被弯尾姬蜂寄生,并饲养2天以上再供绒茧蜂寄生时,寄主幼虫绝大部分不能存活,只有少部分能育出寄生蜂,且多为弯尾姬蜂。当2种蜂的幼虫存在于同一寄主体内时,2种蜂的发育均受到另一种蜂的抑制;绒茧蜂1龄幼虫具有物理攻击能力,能将弯尾姬蜂卵或幼虫致死。这些结果表明,菜蛾盘绒茧蜂与半闭弯尾姬蜂在同一寄主中发育时,前者具有明显的竞争优势。     

菜蛾盘绒茧蜂卵携带的免疫抑制因子

抑制寄主昆虫的免疫反应是内寄生蜂存活的关键。菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia vestalis（Haliday）寄生小菜蛾Plutella xylostella （L.）幼虫后,蜂卵如何逃避和抑制寄主的免疫攻击,尚未得到全面揭示。本文采用电镜技术系统观察了菜蛾盘绒茧蜂卵表面的超微结构。结果显示：蜂卵表面覆盖有纤维层和絮状的类病毒样纤丝（VLFs）,同时携带了含多分DNA病毒粒子（PDV）的萼液。在寄生初期,包裹在蜂卵表面的纤维层和VLFs首先起到保护蜂卵不被小菜蛾血细胞包囊的被动防御作用。随后,PDV发挥主动的免疫抑制作用。通过假寄生手段,证明了菜蛾盘绒茧蜂PDV (CvBV) 具有较持久的克服寄主免疫攻击的能力,是主要的免疫抑制因子。在假寄生后连续8 d的观察时间内,菜蛾盘绒茧蜂的蜂卵均未被包囊。结果提示,在菜蛾盘绒茧蜂-小菜蛾寄生体系中,菜蛾盘绒茧蜂采取被动防御和主动攻击两种方式应对寄主小菜蛾的免疫攻击。     

温度对菜蛾绒茧蜂功能反应的影响

在室内１５℃、２０℃、２５℃、３０℃、３２．５℃下测定了菜蛾绒茧蜂寄生数量随寄主密度的变化情况．结果表明,在１５～３２．５℃范围内的各个温度下的功能反应均能用Ｈｏｌｉｎｇ圆盘方程很好地拟合,但各温度间功能反应的参数存在着显著差异．２５℃、３０℃、３２．５℃下的瞬时攻击率比１５℃、２０℃下显著要高,而处理时间则随温度升高而缩短．各温度下在供寄主的５ｈ内,均有部分雌蜂不产卵寄生小菜蛾幼虫．产卵寄生的雌蜂百分率随温度升高和寄主密度增加而增加     

寄主抗药性对菜蛾绒茧蜂抗药性发展的影响

室内筛选小菜蛾中抗品系（SRP）、高抗品系（RP）、以敏感小菜蛾幼虫（SP）为寄主的菜蛾绒茧蜂SRC品系和以SRP幼虫为寄主的菜蛾绒茧蜂RSC品系对氰戊菊酯的抗性。分别筛选了13、14、14和13代。小菜蛾SRP和RP品系分别获得了68.9和605.8倍的抗性,菜蛾绒茧蜂SRC和RSC品系分别获得了4.3和11.0倍的抗性。上述结果表明通过施药于体内有寄生蜂的小菜蛾幼虫筛选寄生蜂抗性,可以获得具有抗性的寄生蜂。以SRP为寄主的RSC品系的抗性水平高于以SP为寄主的SRC品系的抗性水平,表明和抗性较高的寄主同步筛选,寄生蜂的抗性发展更快。小菜蛾SP、SRP和RP三个品系幼虫的多功能氧化酶（MFO）活性比为1∶1.15∶1.50;菜蛾绒茧蜂SC、SRC和RSC三个品系幼虫的MFO活性比为1∶1.10∶1.49,成蜂的MFO活性比为1∶1.18∶1.54;而每种昆虫不同品系的羧酸酯酶（CarE）、总酯酶（Es）活性水平与其抗性水平变化不一致,表明抗性与MFO活性升高有关,而与CarE和Es的活性无关。     

寄主抗药性对菜蛾绒茧蜂生物学特性的影响

以小菜蛾Plutella xylostella敏感品系SP作寄主饲育的菜蛾绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae SC品系分别寄生于小菜蛾的SP品系(SC-SP组合)或抗性RP品系(SC-RP组合),还以小菜蛾RP品系作寄主饲育的菜蛾绒茧蜂RC品系分别寄生于小菜蛾的SP品系(RC-SP组合)或RP品系(RC-RP组合),均在幼虫中期施用氰戊菊酯,考察了药剂对该蜂生物学特性的影响。结果发现：在不施用杀虫剂时,SC-RP组合中蜂的结茧率为45.8%,显著低于其它组合, 所结茧长0.76 mm,育出雌蜂前翅和后足胫节长分别为3.28 mm和2.33 mm,也分别小于其它各组合的结果,表明寄主抗药性对该蜂有不利影响;施用杀虫剂后,RC-RP、SC-RP组合中,蜂的结茧率分别为95.5%和37.8%,显著高于SC-SP和RC-SP组合中蜂的结茧率（22.5%,25.8%）,表明寄主抗性能保护其体内的幼蜂少受杀虫剂的影响;RC-SP组合在受到和未受到杀虫剂作用时茧的羽化率分别为95.2%和93.6%,无显著差异,卵+幼虫及雌蛹的发育历期在处理和对照间也无显著差异,表明用抗性寄主饲育的菜蛾绒茧蜂在寄生敏感寄主时仍表现一定的耐药性,有利于该蜂抗药性的发展,即寄主 寄生蜂之间在抗药性方面存在协同进化。     

Interspecific competition between two endoparasitoids Cotesia vestalis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Oomyzus sokolowskii (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

Two endoparasitoids, Cotesia vestalis and Oomyzus sokolowskii, parasitize the same host, larvae of Plutella xylostella. These two species have evolved different parasitization strategies. O. sokolowskii expresses a single factor, venom, and exerts virtually no detrimental effects on the development of its host. C. vestalis, on the other hand, injects polydnavirus (PDV) and venom during oviposition, and teratocytes are released into the host's hemolymph after egg hatching. Parasitization suppresses host immune reactions and redirects its developmental program. Because both these species parasitize the same stage of their hosts, there is the possibility of multiparasitism in nature. Only one species survives multiparasitism and because of its parasitic strategy, we hypothesized that C. vestalis would invariably be the stronger competitor. We designed competition experiments which revealed that C. vestalis is a stronger competitor than O. sokolowskii. We also show that C. vestalis survives intrinsic competition with O. sokolowskii through two mechanisms: physical attack and physiological suppression. We discovered melanized wounds on O. sokolowskii eggs and larvae, which is strong evidence of physical attacks. The physiological suppression is due to PDV and venom injected by C. vestalis. To test this idea more rigorously, we designed a pseudoparasitization experiment which revealed that no O. sokolowskii emerged from multiparasitized hosts when infertile C. vestlais eggs and normal O. sokolowskii larvae are both present inside the same host. These results support our hypothesis that C. vestalis is the stronger competitor and demonstrate two mechanisms that account for the outcome of intrinsic competition between these two endoparasitoids.     

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。     

Baculoviral p94 homologs encoded in Cotesia plutellae bracovirus suppress both immunity and development of the diamondback moth,Plutellae xylostella

Polydnaviruses (PDVs) are a group of insect DNA viruses, which exhibit a mutual symbiotic relationship with their specific host wasps. Moreover, most encapsidated genes identified so far in PDVs share homologies with insect‐originated genes, but not with virus‐originated genes. In the meantime, PDVs associated with 2 wasp genera Cotesia and Glytapanteles encode some genes presumably originated from other viruses. Cotesia plutellae bracovirus (CpBV) encodes 4 genes homologous to baculoviral p94: CpBV‐E94k1, CpBV‐E94k2, CpBV‐E94k3, and CpBV‐E94k4. This study was conducted to predict the origin of CpBV‐E94ks by comparing their sequences with those of baculoviral orthologs and to determine the physiological functions by their transient expressions in nonparasitized larvae and subsequent specific RNA interference. Our phylogenetic analysis indicated that CpBV‐E94ks were clustered with other E94ks originated from different PDVs and shared high similarity with betabaculoviral p94s. These 4 CpBV genes were expressed during most developmental stages of the larvae of Plutella xylostella parasitized by C. plutellae. Expression of these 4 E94ks was mainly detected in hemocytes and fat body. Subsequent functional analysis by in vivo transient expression showed that all 4 viral genes significantly inhibited both host immune and developmental processes. These results suggest that CpBV‐E94ks share an origin with betabaculoviral p94s and play parasitic roles in suppressing host immune and developmental processes.     

Additive effect of teratocyte and calyx fluid from Cotesia plutellae on immunosuppression of Plutella xylostella

Abstract.  Teratocytes are cells that originate from the extra-embryonic tissues of some hymenopteran parasitoids, typically dissociate upon hatching, and develop in the host haemolymph. They are considered to be involved in parasitoid larval nutrient uptake, host immunosuppression and/or repression of competing parasitoid development. Teratocytes of the parasitoid, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are found in its natural host, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) and can be cultured in vitro . The present study demonstrates that teratocytes of C. plutellae possess a significantly depressive effect on host cellular immunity. When the hosts are preinjected with 200 cultured teratocytes (corresponding to the normal number of teratocytes released during wasp hatching), haemocyte nodulation is inhibited by approximately 40%, with younger teratocytes being more potent than older ones. Similarly, the medium in which teratocytes are cultured has similar immunosuppressive properties. In comparison, calyx fluid extracted from the C. plutellae ovary also has an immunosuppressive effect on P. xylostella . These two maternal (calyx fluid) and embryonic (teratocytes) factors are additive and result in a reduced level of nodule formation equivalent to that induced by natural parasitization. However, the immunosuppression of the parasitized P. xylostella does not appear to be due to inhibition of phospholipase A₂, an immune mediator, because injection of arachidonic acid failed to restore haemocyte nodulation capability.     

三种内寄生蜂寄生对小菜蛾幼虫精子发生的影响

内寄生蜂寄生可能会引起寄主的寄生性去势。对小菜蛾Plutella xylostella与菜蛾啮小蜂Oomyzus sokolowskii Kurdumov (膜翅目： 姬小蜂科)、半闭弯尾姬蜂Diadegma semiclausum Hellén (膜翅目： 姬蜂科)、菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae (Kurdj.) (膜翅目： 茧蜂科) 3个寄生体系,利用形态学方法和蛋白质技术,研究了寄生对小菜蛾幼虫精子发生的影响。结果表明：菜蛾啮小蜂寄生对寄主的精子发生过程没有影响。半闭弯尾姬蜂寄生造成寄主精母细胞的细胞核畸形,精细胞的染色质超浓缩并趋向核膜,但能形成少量的精子;半闭弯尾姬蜂寄生会导致寄主精巢总蛋白的含量显著下降。菜蛾盘绒茧蜂寄生对小菜蛾幼虫精子发生的抑制程度最强,被寄生寄主的精母细胞出现肿胀,核膜皱缩,胞质中的线粒体发生病变;精细胞的染色体也出现超浓缩并趋向核膜,大量的精子溶解,无正常的精子形成;其精巢总蛋白含量的下降程度比姬蜂寄生的更为明显,且导致分子量为63.4 kD的主蛋白缺失。     

Bottom-up and top-down effects in a tritrophic system: the population fluctuations of Plutella xylostella and its parasitoid,Oomyzus sokolowskii on the cauliflower cultivars in field conditions

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), has worldwide distribution and found wherever cruciferous plants is grown. In this study, fluctuations of parasitism rate of P. xylostella by Oomyzus sokolowskii on different cauliflower cultivars were evaluated in the field during 2011 at research station of the Shahed University (South of Tehran). This investigation was conducted on the eight cauliflower cultivars including Smilla, Snow mystique, White cloud, Buris, Galiblanka, Snow crown, SG and Tokita in a randomised complete block design with five replications. The results showed that density of total larva and pupa of the diamondback moth on Buris and Snow crown cultivars is lower than other cultivars. The highest and the lowest percentage of parasitism by O. sokolowskii was observed on Buris cultivar (7.93?±?0.91%) and SG cultivar (1.28?±?0.36%) during the season, respectively.     

Electroantennogram and flight orientation response of Cotesia plutellae to hexane extract of cruciferous host plants and larvae of Plutella xylostella

The braconid wasp Cotesia plutellae is an important larval parasitoid of the diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella, which a major pest of crucifers in the tropics and subtropics. The peripheral olfactory responses of antennal chemoreceptors of C. plutellae to various cruciferous host plants of DBM and host larval body (cuticle) extracts were examined by electroantennogram (EAG) detection and the behavioral response to a concentration of 1% was analyzed in a Y‐tube olfactometer. Females of C. plutellae exhibited dose‐dependant EAG response for all the extracts tested. Antennal stimulation with 0.1 and 1% concentrations elicited stronger EAG responses than lower concentrations for all the extracts. Host plant extracts were more stimulatory to virgin females, while gravid females exhibited increased antennal sensitivity to host larval body extract odors. In the flight orientation studies, virgin females exhibited increased orientation toward host plant extracts, while gravid females oriented more toward host larval body odors. The EAG response profile and the corresponding orientation behavior revealed a differential preference by the parasitoid wasp to host plant and host‐related cues. Mustard and cauliflower extracts were more attractive to females than other extracts. The possible behavioral manipulation of this specialist parasitoid using these extracts for effective biological control of diamondback moth is discussed.     

菜蛾啮小蜂的生物学及温度对其 种群增长的影响

菜蛾啮小蜂Oomyzus sokolowskii (Kurdjumov) 是小菜蛾Plutella xylostella L. 的一种主要寄生天敌。观察表明,该蜂喜产卵于小菜蛾各龄幼虫,也可产卵于预蛹,进行幼虫至蛹期的跨期聚寄生。每头寄主蛹出蜂多为5～10头,平均7.8头,其中雌蜂占85%～90%。该蜂也可产卵于在小菜蛾幼虫体内寄生的菜蛾绒茧蜂高龄幼虫,故又是小菜蛾的兼性重寄生蜂。在杭州,每年该蜂在田间的活动期为4～10月,10月中下旬陆续以老熟幼虫或预蛹进入休眠越冬,第二年4月陆续羽化并开始产卵寄生。该蜂发育、存活和繁殖的适温范围为20～30℃,低于20℃或高于30℃对其存活不利,但在适温下发育羽化的雌蜂,短时间内在32～35℃高温下仍可大量产卵寄生。在20℃、25℃和30℃下,平均每雌一生可寄生小菜蛾幼虫数分别为3.1、13.2和6.8头,产子蜂数分别为20.5、92.1和504头,内禀增长率分别为0.082、0.240和0.263(雌/雌·天)。
