Effect of vermicompost on nutrition and intermediary metabolism of Colorado potato beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is the important pest of potato throughout the world. The study showed the effects of vermicompost on nutritional indices, digestive enzyme activities and intermediary metabolism of the larvae and the adults of CPB. Vermicompost affected significantly the efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) in addition to activities of carbohydrases and proteases in both larvae and adults. Amount of total phenol compounds increased in the leaves of the potatoes grown on the soil containing 30% of vermicompost compared to control and it were amended by 15% of vermicompost. In case of intermediary metabolism, activities of aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl transferase showed no significant differences in the control and the treated larvae, but those were fluctuated upper and lower when 15% of vermicompost was added into growth plots. The amount of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in the larvae of CPB showed no significant differences among treatments. However, the amounts of LDL, HDL, glycogen and protein of the adults significantly increased using 30% of vermicompost. Results of the current study clearly revealed significant effects on some physiological processes in CPB fed on the plants grown in the different vermicompost treatments.     

Insecticidal efficacy of two isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) (Vuill.), on the second larval stage of Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Col.: Chrysomelidae)

Leptinotarsa decemlineata is a serious potato pest throughout the world that has developed resistance to many insecticides. This study investigated the virulence of two indigenous isolates of Beauveria bassiana, consisting of DEBI007 and IR1217C. Five different concentrations of each isolate, 1 × 10⁷, 3.1 × 10⁷, 1 × 10⁸, 3.1 × 10⁸ and 1 × 10⁹ conidia ml^?1, were applied in bioassay using dipping method on second instar larvae. Control insects were treated with distilled water containing 0.01% Tween-80 (Sigma, Germany) as surfactant. The results showed that mortality percentages due to DEBI007 and IR1217C isolates in the highest concentration were 60% and 57.77%, respectively. There was a significant difference between efficacies of different conidial concentrations; therefore, with rise in conidial concentration, the mortality percentage was increased. The DEBI007 isolate that was previously isolated from the soil was more effective than IR1217C isolate. Calculated LC₅₀ for this effective isolate was 1.4 × 10⁷ conidia ml^?1, which, respectively, is the highest concentration.     

Effects of four Bacillus spp. of soil origin on the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)

Four species of Bacillus were isolated from soil in an effort to find safe, effective and alternative biological control agents against plant pests. These bacteria were identified as Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus sphaericus, Bacillus megaterium and Bacillus cereus on the basis of fatty acid methyl ester analysis and carbon utilization profiles by using Microbial Identification and Biolog Microplate Systems. Laboratory experiments carried out to determine the insecticidal activities of these isolates showed that B. pumilus caused 95.7 and 26.7% mortality and B. sphaericus caused 74.5 and 23.3% mortality of Leptinotarsa decemlineata larvae and adults, respectively. B. cereus and B. megaterium showed 51.1 and 29.7%, respectively, of L. decemlineata larvae. This study presents at least two Turkish isolates from the genus Bacillus showing high insecticidal activity against L. decemlineata.     

多种植物挥发物及马铃薯甲虫聚集素对马铃薯甲虫的引诱作用

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)是马铃薯上一种最主要的毁灭性害虫。由于其严重的抗药性, 急需寻找一种替代杀虫剂的防治方法。本实验从开发马铃薯甲虫引诱剂的目的出发,用“Y”型嗅觉仪测定了马铃薯甲虫对来自植物的7种挥发物单体、8个挥发物混合物配方以及马铃薯甲虫聚集素的行为反应,并进一步进行了田间诱集试验。室内生测结果表明,2-苯乙醇对马铃薯甲虫雌雄虫都有明显的引诱作用。芳樟醇+水杨酸甲酯+顺乙酸-3-己烯酯的混合物对马铃薯甲虫雄虫有很强的引诱作用(81.67%), 但是对雌虫引诱作用不明显(63.33%)。在其中加入马铃薯甲虫聚集素不但提高了对雄虫的引诱率（88.33%）,还消除了之前的雌雄性别间反应差异现象,使对雌虫的引诱率达到了83.33%。田间诱集结果显示,芳樟醇+水杨酸甲酯+顺乙酸-3-己烯酯+马铃薯甲虫聚集素在所研究的引诱剂配方中引诱效果最好。从而为马铃薯甲虫发生的预测预报和诱杀技术提供了研究基础。     

温度对马铃薯甲虫生长发育的影响

为了进一步明确温度对马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)生长发育的影响, 在恒温条件, 研究了温度对马铃薯甲虫实验种群生长发育的影响。结果表明：温度对马铃薯甲虫各虫态的发育历期、存活率及种群的繁殖力有显著的影响。发育历期随温度的升高而缩短, 发育速率与温度呈显著的正相关。马铃薯甲虫世代存活率由大到小的顺序为27℃＞23℃＞19℃＞31℃＞15℃。27℃时成虫的产卵量最高, 单雌平均卵量为729.7粒;其次为23℃, 单雌平均卵量为639.2粒。并测得马铃薯甲虫卵、1龄幼虫、2龄幼虫、3龄幼虫、4龄幼虫、幼虫期、蛹期及全世代的发育起点温度分别为9.14, 10.50, 8.17, 10.28, 9.04, 9.59, 10.23和10.90℃, 有效积温分别为73.26, 43.22, 39.23, 34.05, 161.97, 273.02, 100.38和542.58日·度。据此认为温度对马铃薯甲虫实验种群的生长发育、存活和繁殖影响明显。     

不同寄主植物上马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育的比较研究

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)是马铃薯Solanum tuberosum等茄科作物上的一种毁灭性害虫。为了探明寄主植物对新疆马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育的影响, 本研究通过非选择性试验测定了马铃薯、 茄子Solanum melongena和番茄Lycopersicon esculentum 3种栽培寄主及野生寄主中亚天仙子Hyoscyamus pusillus对马铃薯甲虫种群生长发育、 存活、 繁殖及生命表参数的影响。结果表明： 马铃薯甲虫幼虫虽然能够取食番茄, 但幼虫的发育历期长、 存活率低且蛹不能羽化, 表明番茄不是新疆马铃薯甲虫种群的适宜寄主。马铃薯、 茄子、 中亚天仙子3种寄主植物对该虫卵、 幼虫、 蛹的存活率和发育历期及成虫产卵前期没有显著影响, 但对蛹重和繁殖力影响显著。取食不同寄主植物后, 该虫蛹重和繁殖力从大到小的次序为： 马铃薯＞茄子＞中亚天仙子; 种群的净增殖率(R₀)、 内禀增长率(r_m)和种群趋势指数(I)从大到小依次为： 马铃薯＞茄子＞中亚天仙子。因此马铃薯为新疆马铃薯甲虫种群的最适宜寄主, 其次为茄子和中亚天仙子, 而番茄为不适宜寄主。

马铃薯甲虫自然种群生命表的组建及影响因子

应用作用因子生命表方法,组建了马铃薯2代马铃薯甲虫自然种群生命表,并采用排除分析法分析了作用因子对马铃薯甲虫种群数量的控制作用.结果表明:马铃薯甲虫卵期和1龄幼虫期的存活率分别为79.1％和69.3％,显著低于其他虫态的存活率,表明该阶段为马铃薯甲虫种群生存的脆弱阶段,是马铃薯甲虫防治的关键时期.“自然死亡”的排除作用控制指数最大(1.87);其次为“捕食及其他”,排除作用控制指数为1.51;寄生性天敌对马铃薯甲虫没有控制作用.如果排除所有天敢等因子的作用,马铃薯甲虫自然种群趋势指数将增长2.8倍.表明天敌等自然因子虽对马铃薯甲虫种群数量有一定的控制作用,但控制能力较弱.     

Effect of photoperiod and allatectomy on reproduction and (second) diapause induction in post-diapause adult females of the Colorado potato beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say

Summary

The effect of photoperiod and allatectomy on the rates of oviposition and juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis was studied in female beetles after the break of adult diapause. The results indicate that after diapause, photoperiod has no effect on oviposition rates. However, the photoperiodic effect on diapause induction is restored within a few days after the break of the first diapause. Allatectomy performed within one day after diapause did not induce a second diapause, whereas about 40% of the beetles allatectomized after 3 or more days responded by entering a second diapause. Oogenesis in the operated animals was never completely prevented under long and short day conditions. These preliminary results suggest a change in the sensitivity of post-diapause beetles to photoperiodic and endocrine manipulation as compared with pre-diapause insects.     

马铃薯甲虫气味结合蛋白的序列和基因表达谱分析

【目的】昆虫气味结合蛋白(OBPs)在昆虫嗅觉行为中发挥着重要作用。马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata是马铃薯上一种最主要的毁灭性害虫。为阐明该虫嗅觉识别分子机制,本研究对马铃薯甲虫26个OBP基因序列特征及组织表达谱进行研究。【方法】基于马铃薯甲虫触角转录组测序数据,利用生物信息学方法及qRT-PCR技术,分别对马铃薯甲虫26个LdecOBPs (LdecOBP1-LdecOBP26)的系统进化及基因的组织表达谱进行分析。【结果】除LdecOBP26基因外,其余25个LdecOBPs基因序列均具有完整的开放阅读框,编码120~255个氨基酸残基,预测的蛋白分子量为13.66~29.38 kD,等电点为4.12~8.42,它们属于两个亚家族,其中13个为Classical-C OBPs, 12个为Minus-C OBPs。除LdecOBP3和LdecOBP26外,其他24个LdecOBPs的N端均由16~23个氨基酸组成的信号肽序列。不同的OBPs亚家族均具有各自典型保守的Cys残基。LdecOBPs之间高度分化,氨基酸序列一致性在3.20%~41.91%。系统进化树分析表明,LdecOBPs与沙葱萤叶甲Galeruca daurica的GdauOBPs亲缘关系最近。基因表达谱分析显示,26个LdecOBPs基因在马铃薯甲虫的不同组织中表达,其中有12个LdecOBPs基因(LdecOBP2, LdecOBP4, LdecOBP6, LdecOBP9, LdecOBP10, LdecOBP12, LdecOBP13, LdecOBP16, LdecOBP20-22和LdecOBP24)在触角中高表达,2个LdecOBPs基因(LdecOBP5和LdecOBP17)在足中高表达,其他12个LdecOBPs基因(LdecOBP1, LdecOBP3, LdecOBP7, LdecOBP8, LdecOBP11, LdecOBP14, LdecOBP15, LdecOBP18, LdecOBP19, LdecOBP23, LdecOBP25和LdecOBP26)在触角、头(去除触角)、胸、腹、足和翅这些组织中均表达。【结论】本研究结果为进一步研究马铃薯甲虫嗅觉识别分子机制奠定了基础。     

蓝蝽对马铃薯甲虫低龄幼虫的捕食潜能初探

室内研究了蓝蝽Zicrona caerula(Linnaeus)对马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say)低龄幼虫的捕食功能反应和选择效应。HollingII型圆盘方程和HollingⅢ型新模型拟合结果共同显示,蓝蝽若虫对马铃薯甲虫1龄幼虫的捕食量随着龄期的增加而增大;4、5龄若虫及成虫的捕食量均在17头以上。由HollingII模型获得蓝蝽对马铃薯甲虫1龄幼虫的控制能力为2龄<3龄<4龄<5龄<成虫;随着食物密度的增加,蓝蝽各虫态的寻找效应逐渐下降。田间防治马铃薯甲虫1龄幼虫时,2～5龄蓝蝽若虫及成虫的最佳益害比应该分别为1∶2、1∶4、1∶13、1∶14、1∶13,然而,食物选择效应显示蓝蝽原生境中猎物-兰叶甲可能会对防治产生影响。     

新烟碱类杀虫剂拌种对马铃薯甲虫幼虫食物利用和生长发育的影响

为研究马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata（Say）幼虫取食新烟碱杀虫剂噻虫嗪和吡虫啉处理（有效成分18 g/100 kg种薯拌种）播种90 d后马铃薯叶片的消化吸收和生长发育情况,在室内采用重量法测定了幼虫取食量、体重增加量、食物利用率,近似消化率以及蛹重等营养指标。 结果表明：70%噻虫嗪种子处理可分散粉剂拌种后,马铃薯甲虫幼虫的取食量、体重增加量、食物利用率、食物转化率、近似消化率和相对生长率以及蛹重显著低于10%吡虫啉可湿性粉剂拌种和空白对照（P＜0.05）,发育历期显著长于10%吡虫啉可湿性粉剂拌种和空白对照（P＜0.05）;而10%吡虫啉可湿性粉剂拌种后,马铃薯甲虫幼虫的取食量和3～4龄期的体重增加量与空白对照差异显著（P＜0.05）,蛹重、1～2龄幼虫的体重增长量、食物利用率、食物转化率、近似消化率、相对生长率和生长发育历期与空白对照差异不显著（P＞0.05）。 说明70%噻虫嗪种子处理可分散粉剂拌种对马铃薯甲虫幼虫的取食有显著抑制作用,不能很好地满足其生长发育营养物质的需要,幼虫取食其叶片后,近似消化率和相对生长速率显著降低,生长发育历期显著延长。 这有利于减少当季世代数,降低危害。     

Effects and modes of action of citrus limonoids against Leptinotarsa decemlineata

ABSTRACT Limonin and its five derivatives were evaluated in feeding bioassays for depression effects on feeding, growth and development of the fourth stadium Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Epilimonol and limonin diosphenol were most effective in depression of feeding and growth, with ED₅₀s 10 and 8 μg/cm². At a dosage of 31.6 μg/cm², epilimonol, limonin diosphenol and limonin caused both significant feeding reduction and developmental delay, while deoxylimonol, tetrahydrolimonin and limonol were not effective. Mouth-part coating and antifeedant bioassays show that feeding inhibition at host acceptance level seems to be the primary mode of action of epilimonol and limonin diosphenol.     

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers in the Colorado potato beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata

The characterization of 11 Leptinotarsa decemlineata microsatellite loci isolated using the fast isolation by AFLP of sequences containing repeats (FIASCO) protocol is reported. Three to 15 alleles per locus were detected in 54 beetles collected from four populations of L. decemlineata. The mean number of alleles was 7.4 ± 3.2 and the level of expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.451 to 0.798. The total exclusionary probabilities using these loci for the first and the second parent were 0.982 and 0.999, respectively. These are the first microsatellite loci characterized from the Colorado potato beetles that can be used for estimating genetic diversity, population structure and parentage analysis.     

新疆石河子和博州地区马铃薯甲虫抗药性检测

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say)在新疆北部的危害逐年加重。本文采用点滴法检测了石河子、博州和昌吉3个地区4个马铃薯甲虫田间种群对有机磷、氨基甲酸酯、拟除虫菊酯、新烟碱类等15种杀虫药剂的抗性水平。结果表明,所检测的沙湾、玛纳斯、博乐和奇台4个马铃薯田间种群对拟除虫菊酯类高效氯氟氰菊酯和溴氰菊酯产生了11～155倍的抗性,博乐种群对高效氯氰菊酯抗性为27倍;4个种群对氨基酸酯类的丁硫克百威也产生了33～59倍的抗性。另外,对硫丹和阿维菌素也分别产生了11～23倍和4～7倍的抗性。但对水胺硫磷等4种有机磷和吡虫啉等3种新烟碱类杀虫药剂仍然比较敏感。研究结果为上述地区马铃薯甲虫的有效控制提供重要依据。

Ecdysteroids and adult diapause in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

ABSTRACT. The difference in ecdysteroid activity in short-day (10-h photo-phase) and long-day (16-h photophase) Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say adults was characterized by high performance liquid chromatography, which revealed that for short-day beetles ecdysterone and ecdysone are the major constituents of the free ecdysteroids, whereas in long-day beetles products co-migrating with 2-deoxyecdysone and 2-deoxyecdysterone are just as abundant. Ecdysteroids were detected (15 ng/ml) only in the haemolymph of females. Ligation experiments showed that the induction of the diapause syndrome by inactivation of the corpora allata or the brain not only resulted in the formation of the typical diapause proteins but also in an increase of the ecdysteroid activity. It is suggested that adult diapause in L.decemlineata is regulated by a multifactorial system.     

马铃薯甲虫防治技术及其抗药性研究进展

马铃薯甲虫Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say)是世界上重要的毁灭性检疫害虫。国内外针对马铃薯甲虫的防治技术包括农业及物理防治(与非寄主作物合理倒茬轮作,诱集捕杀等)、生物防治(利用微生物农药和植物活性提取物防治,引进天敌控制)以及化学防治(使用有机磷、氨基甲酸酯、拟除虫菊酯类及其他新型杀虫剂防治)等。马铃薯甲虫对杀虫剂的抗性主要与体内代谢酶系、尤其是多功能氧化酶系活性升高有关;抗性遗传方式多为常染色体控制的不完全隐性遗传。抗性检测技术包括传统生物测定法和基因检测法,后者主要包括固相微型测序、单链构象多态性、双向等位特异PCR扩增等,这些新技术在抗药性监测中将发挥越来越重要的作用。
