为了明确寄主龄期对日本食蚧蚜小蜂Coccophagus japonicus Compere的产卵选择及后代发育的影响,本文在橡副珠蜡蚧Parasaissetia nigra Nietner 1龄若虫、2龄若虫、3龄若虫、初期成虫、褐色期成虫、初产卵期1-2 d成虫等6个发育阶段条件下观察了日本食蚧蚜小蜂的产卵选择系数、发育历期、寄生率、羽化率及性比。结果表明:选择性产卵条件下,日本食蚧蚜小蜂对褐色期成虫的产卵量、寄生率、选择系数最高,其次为初期成虫,1龄若虫最低均为0;日本食蚧蚜小蜂在橡副珠蜡蚧2龄若虫-褐色期成虫体内能完成世代发育,发育历期以褐色期寄主最长(24. 0 d),2龄若虫最短(22. 1 d);羽化率以3龄若虫最高(99. 12%),雌性比均为1。综合考虑,可选用橡副珠蜡蚧初期成虫及褐色期成虫作为日本食蚧蚜小蜂的室内扩繁寄主。     

副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧的控制作用

在实验室条件下,研究了副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧的控制作用.结果表明:该蜂的寄生功能反应符合Holling Ⅱ型方程,但各温度间功能反应的参数存在差异,以瞬时攻击率/捕食处理时间(a/Th)为评价指标,在30℃捕食效能最强,a/Th 为23.4211.副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂的寄生功能反应有较强的种内干扰作用,随着自身密度的增加,寄生数量逐渐减少,在温度21℃～33℃范围内,Hassell(1969)模型E=QP-m均能较好地反映副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂的寻找效应与其自身密度之间的关系;在21℃～27℃,随着温度的上升干扰作用增强,27℃时干扰系数最大(0.6626),温度上升至30℃、33℃时干扰作用略有下降,分别为0.6161、0.5916.副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂对产卵前期的橡副珠蜡蚧成虫控制效果好,寄生后能完全控制,有少量幼虫爬出的橡副珠蜡蚧被寄生后,控制效果下降至81.4%.

【目的】为了明确日本食蚧蚜小蜂Coccophagus japonicus Compere对橡副珠蜡蚧Parasaissetia nigra Nietner的控害潜能。【方法】在18、21、24、27、30、33℃条件下研究了日本食蚧蚜小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧3龄若虫的寄生功能反应及27℃条件下该蜂自身的干扰效应。【结果】该蜂的寄生功能反应符合Holling-Ⅱ和Holling-Ⅲ模型,但各温度间功能反应的参数存在差异,其中以瞬时攻击率/处理时间(a'/T_h)为评价指标,在18-33℃范围内,在24℃时寄生效能最大,为53.86;日本食蚧蚜小蜂个体间存在干扰效应,随着自身密度增大,相互干扰作用增强,在27℃时,Hassell模型E=QP~(-m)能够很好的反映出不同寄生蜂密度对橡副珠蜡蚧的寄生情况。【结论】日本食蚧蚜小蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧3龄若虫有较好的控害能力。     

寄主大小对副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂产卵选择及繁殖的影响

为明确寄主体型大小对副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂产卵选择及繁殖的影响,在室内观察了副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂在不同大小的橡副珠蜡蚧上的产卵量、寄生率、发育历期及性比。结果表明:在选择性和非选择性的产卵试验条件下副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂对中型个体寄主(长4.0 mm,宽3.4 mm)的寄生率最高;小蜂的产卵量在选择性试验时,以大型寄主(长4.8 mm,宽4.0 mm)体内的最高(67.0粒),非选择性试验时,以中型寄主(长4.0 mm,宽3.4 mm)体内的最高(131.0粒),小型寄主(长3.2 mm,宽2.9 mm)体内产卵量最少(61.5粒);副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂后代出蜂数与寄主体型的大小呈显著正相关,雌性比则随寄主体型的增大而增减小,发育历期则受寄主体型的影响不明显。综上所述,副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂雌蜂能够根据寄主质量来调整产卵量及后代性比,以使后代适应度最大化。     

副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂的寄生影响因子

副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂Metaphycus parasaissetiae是橡副珠蜡蚧Parasaissetia nigra成虫的重要内寄生蜂。寄生蜂的寄生效果受多种因素影响,就温度、光周期、寄主成虫日龄、雌蜂日龄及交配等因子对副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂的寄生率、每头寄主的出蜂量及后代雌性率的影响进行研究,以期探明几种因子对该蜂寄生效果的影响。结果表明:温度为27—30℃时寄生率最高为91.7%,出蜂量以27℃最高为7.5头,雌性率以24℃条件最高为72.1%,其次27℃为62.6%,说明24—30℃是寄生效果较好的适温范围;光周期对副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂的影响明显,光暗比为12 h∶12 h条件下,其寄生率、出蜂量、后代雌性率均最大,分别为70.6%、5.3头、68.3%;副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂寄生用20—21日龄橡副珠蜡蚧成虫的寄生率、出蜂量及后代雌性率均为最高,分别为87.0%、5.6头、51.2%,说明20—21日龄的橡副珠蜡蚧成虫是副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂最适合寄生的阶段;雌蜂日龄对寄生效果的影响明显,3日龄的出蜂量最多为5.6头,4日龄的小蜂寄生率最高为81.7%,5日龄的雌性率最大为55.2%;交配是另一影响寄生效果及性比的重要因子,已交配的寄生率及出蜂量显著高于未交配的,分别为91.7%、7.5头,交配的雌性率为62.1%,而未交配所育后代均为雄蜂。综合以上结果分析,可考虑选用20—21日龄橡副珠蜡蚧成虫、充分交配的3—6日龄小蜂、温度27℃及光周期L∶D=12∶12作为室内扩繁副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂的理想条件组合。     

低温对副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂发育及繁殖的影响

副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂是橡副珠蜡蚧的重要寄生蜂。为了探明副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂对低温的适应性,本文在15℃-24℃范围内对该蜂的产卵、发育、出蜂量及性比进行观察。结果表明:副珠蜡蚧阔本跳小蜂在15℃-24℃范围内,随温度的升高,产卵量逐渐增加;该蜂在21℃、24℃时蜂能完成世代发育,在15℃、18℃时少量跳小蜂能发育到蛹,但均不能羽化为成蜂;温度对性比的影响明显,24℃的雌性比例高于21℃。综上所述,副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂对18℃以下的低温适应性较差,室内繁殖或野外放蜂时注意选择较高的温度条件。     

温度对副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂发育和繁殖的影响

通过观察副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂Metaphycus parasaissetiae Zhang and Huang在18,21,24,27,30,33和36℃恒温条件下的生长发育情况,求得其世代发育起点温度和世代有效积温分别为13.10℃和215.00日.度,建立世代发育历期预测式为N=[215.00±44.32]/[T-(13.10±3.24)],世代发育速率与温度之间的关系拟合为S形曲线V=-e(1.33+37.73/T),推算出该蜂在海南1年可发生18代。所设试验温度范围内,该蜂对橡副珠蜡蚧Parasaissetia nigra(Nietner)的寄生率在13.33%～20.00%范围内波动,30℃时寄生率最高;雌性比率在27℃时最大为70.03%。随着试验温度的升高,成蜂羽化相对集中,羽化持续时间逐渐缩短,羽化高峰提前。30℃条件下雌蜂终生产卵量最多,平均25.77粒。雌蜂寿命随试验温度的升高而逐渐缩短,同一恒温条件下补充20%蜂蜜水可显著延长雌蜂寿命。27～30℃可视为有利于副珠蜡蚧阔柄跳小蜂发育繁殖的适温范围,最适温度为30℃。     

温度和光周期对斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂发育与繁殖的影响

斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂是橡副珠蜡蚧的重要寄生性天敌之一。研究了温度和光周期对斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂发育、寄生及繁殖等方面的生态学特性。研究表明:温度和光周期对斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂种群增长影响明显。在32℃下不能完成世代发育,在温度为18-27℃范围内随温度升高发育加快,18℃发育历期最长(54.0d),27℃最短(22.8d);世代发育起点温度和有效积温分别为12.76℃和307.62日度。高温和低温均不利于斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂寄生,21℃时寄生率最高为(36.0%),30℃时寄生率最低(4.5%)。结合发育历期、体长、产卵、抱卵、寄生率等参数,该蜂发育繁殖的适宜温度为21-27℃度范围内,30℃以上不利于小蜂的发育及存活。斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂对长光的刺激比较敏感,随光照时间增长,发育加快、产卵量明显增加,长日照条件(LD16∶8h)的发育历期最短(24.8d),短日照条件(LD10∶14h)的最长(27.8d),产卵量在长日照条件(LD16∶8h)时最多(119.6粒),短日照条件(LD10∶14h)时最少(86.2粒)。结合发育、产卵、寄生等参数,长日照条件(LD14∶10-LD16∶8h)有利于种群增长。     

斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂的生物学特性

斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂Coccophagus ceroplastae是橡副珠蜡蚧Parasaissetia nigra的重要内寄生蜂。对斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂的形态特征进行了描述,在实验室条件下观察了斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂的行为、发育、存活、繁殖等生物学特性。结果表明:斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂幼虫分3龄,完成一个世代需21-26d。卵巢左右成对,各由3条卵巢管组成,为发育成熟型,成虫期补充营养和发育时间对抱卵量的影响不明显。羽化后即可进行交配,交配时间2-3s,雄蜂有竞争交配行为,交配对雌蜂产卵有显著刺激作用。产卵行为有寻找、寄主检查、产卵器刺探、产卵、产卵针拔出等步骤,存在过寄生现象。羽化主要是在08:00-10:00,温度、相对湿度、光照对其羽化节律均有影响,温度升高羽化提前,且相对集中;相对湿度在20%-90%范围内,随湿度的升高成虫羽化高蜂延后;而光照时间过长或过短均可使斑翅食蚧蚜小蜂的羽化相对分散。随着温度的升高,雌成蜂的寿命逐渐缩短;补充营养能延长成虫寿命,取食10%蔗糖的寿命最长,清水和无补充营养寿命短。     

松突圆蚧花角蚜小蜂的生物学

松突圆蚧花角蚜小蜂Cocvobius azumai Tachikawa是松突圆蚧Hemiberlesla pitysophila Takagi的重要寄生蜂,1987-1989年从日本引入我国广东省。对松突圆蚧花角蚜小蜂的形态、发育、繁殖、成虫寿命和取食寄主行为等生物学特征进行了观察。该蜂的雌性幼虫是松突圆蚧雌蚧的初级内寄生蜂,而雄性幼虫则是次级寄生蜂,重寄生在同种或它种膜翅目的老熟幼虫、预蛹和蛹上。雌雄两性的形态在所有发育阶段均不相同。交配过的雄蜂喜欢寄生产卵初期和盛期的雌成蚧,对巳寄生的寄主具有识别能力。在19.7℃一30.9℃变温条件下每头雌蜂平均产卵14.95粒,约60%的卵是在最初3天内产出。松突圆蚧花角蚜小蜂雌性蜂在21℃,24℃,27℃和30℃时从卵发育到成虫的平均历期分别为41.24,32.60,25.60和23.00天,发育起点温度10.1℃,有效积温448.3日度。该蜂在广东省一年发生。9-10代。     

Effects of MULTIFOLIATE-PINNA, AFILA, TENDRIL-LESS and UNIFOLIATA genes on leafblade architecture in Pisum sativum

In order to dissect the genetic regulation of leafblade morphogenesis, 16 genotypes of pea, constructed by combining the wild-type and mutant alleles of MFP, AF, TL and UNI genes, were quantitatively phenotyped. The morphological features of the three domains of leafblades of four genotypes, unknown earlier, were described. All the genotypes were found to differ in leafblade morphology. It was evident that MFP and TL functions acted as repressor of pinna ramification, in the distal domain. These functions, with and without interaction with UNI, also repressed the ramification of proximal pinnae in the absence of AF function. The expression of MFP and TL required UNI function. AF function was found to control leafblade architecture multifariously. The earlier identified role of AF as a repressor of UNI in the proximal domain was confirmed. Negative control of AF on the UNI-dependent pinna ramification in the distal domain was revealed. It was found that AF establishes a boundary between proximal and distal domains and activates formation of leaflet pinnae in the proximal domain.     

Presence of Rhizobium Etli bv . Phaseoli and Rhizobium Gallicum bv . Gallicum in Egyptian Soils

Seven bean rhizobial strains EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29 identified as Rhizobium etli, and EBRI 32 identified as Rhizobium gallicum, isolated from Egyptian soils and which nodulated Phaseolus vulgaris efficiently, were subjected to hybridization with a nifH probe in order to estimate the copy number of this gene. Seven strains (EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29) which were only able to nodulate Phaseolus vulgaris, contained three copies of the nifH gene, consistent with their identification as Rhizobium etli bv. phaseoli. Only one strain (EBRI 32) which nodulated both Phaseolus vulgaris and Leucaena leucocephala, had one copy of nifH gene. This confirmed the classification of this strain as Rhizobium gallicum bv. gallicum.     

Characterisation of cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactans-proteins (AGPs) and phenolics of Cola nitida, Cola acuminata and Garcinia kola seeds

Many Cola plant species are endemic to West and Central Africa. Cola acuminata and Cola nitida are used as masticatory when fresh, while the dried nuts are used for beverages and pharmaceutical purposes in Europe and North America. Garcinia kola seeds, that serve as a substitute for the true kola nuts, are used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases, including colic, headache and liver cirrhosis. Seeds extracts of G. kola are also known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. To gain information on the chemical properties of the kolas, we have isolated and analyzed cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactan-proteins and phenolic substances from the seeds of the three kola species. The sugar composition of cell wall material of C. acuminata, C. nitida and G. kola revealed that Gal (up to 30%), Ara, GalA and Glc as the predominant monosaccharides, representing approximately 90% by mol of the total hydrolysable sugar present in this material. In Ammonium oxalate cell wall fraction, GalA was found to be the major sugar present in all kola species. In the alkali-soluble fraction, there were significant differences in the level of Glc and Gal. The level of Glc was high in C. acuminata and C. nitida while the level of Gal and Xyl were high in C. nitida and G. cola. Isolation and quantification of arabinogalactan-proteins demonstrate that G. kola seeds contained four to eight times more of these proteoglycans than the seeds of the other two species. Finally, analysis of soluble phenolic substances shows that caffeine and catechin were largely represented in C. acumina and C. nitida seeds, with caffeine accounting for 50% of all soluble phenolics. These findings indicate that the three Kola seeds are highly enriched in pectins and proteoglycans and that C. acuminata and C. nitida can be used as a possible source of caffeine and catechin.

The phylogenetic placement of Ostropales within Lecanoromycetes (Ascomycota) revisited

Results of molecular studies regarding the phylogenetic placement of the order Ostropales and related taxa within Lecanoromycetes were thus far inconclusive. Some analyses placed the order as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, while others inferred a position nested within Lecanoromycetes. We assembled a data set of 101 species including sequences from nuLSU rDNA, mtSSU rDNA, and the nuclear protein-coding RPB1 for each species to examine the cause of incongruencies in previously published phylogenies. MP, minimum evolution, and Bayesian analyses were performed using the combined three-region data set and the single-gene data sets. The position of Ostropales nested in Lecanoromycetes is confirmed in all single-gene and concatenated analyses, and a placement as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes is significantly rejected using two independent methods of alternative topology testing. Acarosporales and related taxa (Acarosporaceae group) are basal in Lecanoromycetes. However, if the these basal taxa are excluded from the analyses, Ostropales appear to be sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, suggesting different ingroup rooting as the cause for deviating topologies in previously published phylogenies.     

Hydroxylation of steroids by Fusarium oxysporum, Exophiala jeanselmei and Ceratocystis paradoxa

The potential of Fusarium oxysporum var. cubense UAMH 9013 to perform steroid biotransformations was reinvestigated using single phase and pulse feed conditions. The following natural steroids served as substrates: dehydroepiandrosterone (1), pregnenolone (2), testosterone (3), progesterone (4), cortisone (5), prednisone (6), estrone (7) and sarsasapogenin (8). The results showed the possible presence of C-7 and C-15 hydroxylase enzymes. This hypothesis was explored using three synthetic androstanes: androstane-3,17-dione (9), androsta-4,6-diene-3,17-dione (10) and 3α,5α-cycloandrost-6-en-17-one (11). These fermentations of non-natural steroids showed that C-7 hydroxylation was as a result of that position being allylic. The evidence also pointed towards the presence of a C-15 hydroxylase enzyme.The eleven steroids were also fed to Exophialajeanselmei var. lecanii-corni UAMH 8783. The results showed that the fungus appears to have very active 5α and 14α-hydroxylase enzymes, and is also capable of carrying out allylic oxidations.Ceratocystis paradoxa UAMH 8784 was grown in the presence of the above-mentioned steroids. The results showed that monooxygenases which effect allylic hydroxylation and Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement were active. However, redox reactions predominated.
