模拟降雨对草地贪夜蛾卵和幼虫的影响

为探究降雨对草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda种群的影响,本研究通过室外模拟降雨研究了雨水冲刷对草地贪夜蛾卵和幼虫的影响。结果表明：在4种不同降雨强度0 mm/h（对照）、10.2 mm/h（中雨）、26.5 mm/h（暴雨）、42.8 mm/h（大暴雨）处理下,卵块的掉落率随着降雨强度的增加而增加;在暴雨、大暴雨条件下卵块的孵化率分别为75.14%、43.58%,显著低于对照和中雨;对比有无鳞毛层覆盖的卵块之间的掉落率和孵化率,二者在各个降雨强度之间差异不显著;对比玉米叶片不同位置卵块的掉落率和孵化率,在中雨降雨强度影响下,二者差异不显著,而在暴雨、大暴雨条件下,玉米叶片背面卵块的掉落率低于正面,孵化率高于正面。此外,在相同的降雨强度下,草地贪夜蛾幼虫（2龄、3龄、4龄、5龄）的掉落率随着龄期的增加而降低;当降雨强度增加时,3龄幼虫的掉落率增加。结果表明降雨,特别是暴雨和大暴雨,对草地贪夜蛾的卵和幼虫均有不利影响,为预测草地贪夜蛾种群提供一定依据。

CO2浓度升高对草地贪夜蛾与斜纹夜蛾生长发育及繁殖的影响

为明确大气CO2浓度升高对草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda及其本地近缘种斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura生长发育和繁殖的影响。本研究在正常二氧化碳浓度(400 μL/L)和倍增二氧化碳浓度(800 μL/L)下,用寄主植物小麦饲养草地贪夜蛾和斜纹夜蛾,研究CO2浓度升高对草地贪夜蛾及斜纹夜蛾发育历期和繁殖力的直接影响(高CO2浓度直接影响试虫)、间接影响(高CO2浓度通过影响小麦间接影响试虫)及综合影响(小麦和试虫同时受高CO2浓度影响)。结果表明,CO2浓度升高对草地贪夜蛾各虫态的发育历期均有较显著影响,完成整个世代的时间显著缩短,其中间接影响组幼虫期较对照组显著延长0.7 d,而蛹期和成虫期寿命分别显著缩短1.5 d和4.9 d;综合影响组幼虫期较对照组显著延长0.8 d,而蛹期和成虫期寿命分别显著缩短1.2 d和5.7 d;直接影响组草地贪夜蛾蛹期显著缩短2.7 d;CO2浓度升高对斜纹夜蛾各虫态发育历期影响不显著,仅直接影响组的各虫态发育历期缩短较为明显。在CO2浓度升高条件下,草地贪夜蛾直接影响组单雌产卵量显著增加1 220.48粒,综合影响组略有减少;而斜纹夜蛾单雌产卵量在高CO2浓度下均呈现下降趋势,其中综合影响显著减少818.20粒。说明CO2浓度升高加快了草地贪夜蛾的种群增长速率,使其完成整个世代的时间显著降低;但对本地近缘种斜纹夜蛾的影响不显著。因此,在未来CO2浓度升高的情况下,入侵种草地贪夜蛾的种群增长速率将大于其本地近缘种斜纹夜蛾。     

Microencapsulated Spodoptera frugiperda nucleopolyhedrovirus: insecticidal activity and effect on arthropod populations in maize

Excessive use of chemical insecticides to control Spodoptera frugiperda in maize (Zea mays L.) crops in Colombia has resulted in pest resistance and environmental contamination. A Colombian multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV) was produced in laboratory reared larvae and formulated as a wettable powder by microencapsulating the viral occlusion bodies (OBs) with a methacrylic acid polymer. Microencapsulated OBs were tested for insecticidal activity in laboratory, greenhouse and field bioassays, and were then sprayed onto a commercial crop where their effect on arthropod populations was estimated. In laboratory bioassay, microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated OBs caused a larval mortality of 98 and 96%, respectively. The percent of plants showing recent feeding damage in a greenhouse experiment oscillated between 2.5 and 7.5% when OBs were applied compared to 70% observed in the control. In two field trials, the highest dose of 1.5×10¹² OBs/ha (1500 g/ha) was selected as the recommended rate for field application in maize crops, with efficacies higher than 70%. Total arthropod populations were negatively affected by chemical pesticides; whereas the OBs formulation did not affect the diversity of these organisms. Our results indicate that microencapsulated SfMNPV has the potential to be commercialised as an alternative to substitute or complement chemical insecticides in fall armyworm integrated management programmes.

Prostaglandin‐mediated recovery from bacteremia delays larval development in fall armyworm,Spodoptera frugiperda

Insect immunity includes a surveillance system that detects and signals infections, coupled with hemocytic and humoral immune functions. These functions are signaled and coordinated by several biochemicals, including biogenic amines, insect cytokines, peptides, and prostaglandins (PGs). The actions of these mediators are coordinated within cells by various forms of cross‐talk among the signaling systems and they result in effective reactions to infection. While this is well understood, we lack information on how immune‐mediated recovery influences subsequent juvenile development in surviving insects. We investigated this point by posing the hypothesis that PG signaling is necessary for larval recovery, although the recovery imposes biological costs, registered in developmental delays and failures in surviving individuals. Here, we report that nodulation responses to infections by the bacterium, Serratia marcescens, increased over time up to 5 h postinfection, with no further nodulation; it increased in a linear manner with increasing bacterial dosages. Larval survivorship decreased with increasing bacterial doses. Treating larvae with the PG‐biosynthesis inhibitor, indomethacin, led to sharply decreased nodulation reactions to infection, which were rescued in larvae cotreated with indomethacin and the PG‐precursor, arachidonic acid. Although nodulation was fully rescued, all bacterial challenged larvae suffered reduced survivorship compared to controls. Bacterial infection led to reduced developmental rates in larvae, but not pupae. Adult emergence from pupae that developed from experimental larvae was also decreased. Taken together, our data potently bolster our hypothesis.     

草地贪夜蛾核型多角体病毒对我国草地贪夜蛾不同地理种群毒力的比较分析

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda(J. E. Smith)入侵我国多个地区,逐渐形成地理种群。在草地贪夜蛾核型多角体病毒Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus(SfMNPV)生物农药的生产过程中发现,不同地理来源的宿主对SfMNPV的敏感性和产量存在明显差异,显著影响了SfMNPV的生产效率。为解析其敏感性差异及其产生的原因,本研究首先对云南德宏、广东广州、广西钦州、西藏林芝4个地区草地贪夜蛾种群基因型进行了鉴定,采用生物测定法测试SfMNPV对4龄幼虫的口服毒力,然后,通过向幼虫体内注射草地贪夜蛾核多角体病毒出芽型病毒粒子(budded virions, BVs)的方式,越过口服感染中肠的过程,分析敏感性差异发生的阶段。最后比较了高敏感和低敏感种群中肠肠液pH,并基于16S rDNA测序测定了肠道菌群组成。结果表明,广西种群属于纯合玉米型,其余种群为带有水稻型COI标记的杂合玉米型。广西种群对SfMNPV的口服敏感性最低,西藏种群的敏感性最高,但两者注射BV后死亡率差异无统计学意义,暗示病毒敏感性差异...     

Characterisation of a Colombian granulovirus (Baculoviridae: Betabaculovirus) isolated from Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae

A strategy for biological control of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, has included the use of baculoviruses principally the nucleopolyhedrovirus SfMNPV, which have been extensively characterised. In contrast, the granulovirus of S. frugiperda (SfGV) has been poorly studied even though it is able to enhance the infectivity and virulence of NPVs. In this work, a Colombian SfGV isolate (VG008) was characterised in comparison with a reference isolate from Brazil (VG014). The viral morphology was characterised by ovoidal-shaped occlusion bodies (OB) that contained one single internal virion. Median lethal concentrations (LC₅₀) and mean times to death (MTD) were 4.5 × 10⁵ OBs/mL and 29 days for VG008 and 1.6 × 10⁵ OBs/mL and 33 days for VG014. Both isolates reduced their insecticidal activity by 94%, after one hour of direct irradiation with ultraviolet light type B. The most prominent protein had an apparent molecular mass of 27 kDa and corresponded with the Granulin. Genomic comparison among isolates from Colombia and Brazil generated by restriction profiles showed differences in the number and size of fragments. Partial sequences of lef-8 and lef-9 genes and complete sequence of gran gene of Colombian SfGV isolate (VG008) showed high similarity values with VG014 and SfGV A12-4 homologous sequences, showing genetic distance lower than 0.015 (Kimura 2-parameter model), which confirmed that the three isolates belong to the same viral species. The characterisation of VG008 isolate demonstrated its high genomic and biological similarity with the Brazilian isolate.

Toxicity and synergism in the feeding deterrence of some coumarins on Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The phagodepression activity of five coumarins (= 2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones), 6-hydroxy-7-isoprenyloxycoumarin (1), 6-methoxy-7-isoprenyloxycoumarin (2), 6,7-methylenedioxycoumarin (3), 5-methoxy-6,7-methylenedioxycoumarin (4), and 6-methoxy-7-(2-hydroxyethoxy)coumarin (5), from the Argentine native herb Pterocaulon polystachyum, was tested against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae. Two analogs, scopoletin (6) and 2-methoxy-2-methyl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-3H-chromen-5-one (7), synthesized in our laboratory, were also evaluated for comparison. The compounds were added to an artificial diet at doses ranging from 50 to 200 microg per g of diet. Natural coumarins induced 100% of phagodepression when 200 microg were added per g of diet. Binary equimolar mixtures of the natural coumarins were phagodepressors against S. frugiperda surpassing the expected additive responses, indicating that these compounds can act synergistically against S. frugiperda larvae. Compounds 1 and 3 (non-methoxylated coumarins), and the equimolar mixture of both, displayed the strongest phagodepression. Additionally, 50 microg/g of 1 and 3 incorporated to the larval diet caused 80 and 50% of pupal mortality, respectively, while a 100 microg/g dose of compounds 2, 4, 6, and 7 produced 60, 50, 10, and 80% pupal mortality, respectively. Larval growing rate during the early larval instars was significantly reduced by treatments with the methylenedioxycoumarins 3 and 4. Coincidentally, the larval period duration was significantly increased by the latter compounds.     

The effect of oscillating dissolved oxygen concentrations on the metabolism of a Spodoptera frugiperda IPLB-Sf21-AE clonal isolate

The effect of oscillating dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the metabolism of a clonal isolate of the Spodoptera frugiperda IPLB-Sf21-AE insect cell line was investigated. Specifically, the effect on cell growth, re- combinant protein synthesis, glucose and glutamine consumption, and lactate accumulation was determined. Prior to conducting the oscillating DO experiments, it was found that the DO concentration could be reduced to 15% air saturation without adversely affecting the growth rate. Under these conditions, glucose and glutamine became depleted as the maximum cell density was reached. The introduction of DO oscillations, that is, cycles consisting of 30 min at 15% DO followed by 30 min of anoxia, significantly altered cell metabolism, including inhibition of cell growth and recombinant protein synthesis. The effect of DO oscillations on glucose consumption was dependent on the experimental conditions. Glucose exhaustion occurred when the DO oscillations contained either an "apparent" anoxia period (nitrogen sparging discontinued upon reaching 0% DO) without pH control or a "true" anoxia period (nitrogen sparging continued throughout anoxia period) with pH control. Glucose consumption was significantly decreased, however, when the cells were exposed to a "true" anoxia period without pH control, that is, low pH inhibited glucose utilization. Glutamine uptake was not significantly affected by DO oscillations. Lactate only accumulated in the oscillating DO runs, a finding consistent with previous results demonstrating that significant lactate accumulation only occurs under DO-limited conditions.
