秋季菜心田主要害虫生态位

对福州郊区菜心田害虫种群的生态位进行了初步研究。结果表明,黄曲条跳甲、小菜蛾和蚜虫为秋季菜心田最主要的害虫。不同害虫的生态位上存在明显分化,黄曲条跳甲在时间生态位上占有较多资源,小菜蛾则在空间生态位上占有相当多资源。并分析探讨了田间不同害虫种群混合发生的竞争机制及相应的害虫控制策略。     

球孢白僵菌对四种十字花科蔬菜害虫的兼控潜力评价

研究了分离自小猿叶甲的一株球孢白僵菌(Beauveria bassiana(SCAU-BB01D))对十字花科蔬菜4种非目标害虫烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci、小菜蛾Plutella xylostella、黄曲条跳甲Phyllotreta striolata和菜缢管蚜Lipaphis erysimi的致病能力。结果表明,在实验室条件下,该菌株对以上4种害虫均有不同程度的侵染力。1×108孢子/mL的白僵菌悬浮液对1,2,3,4龄烟粉虱若虫的侵染率分别为84.88,86.81,55.94和38.78%;对小菜蛾2,3和4龄幼虫的侵染率为67,59和44%;对黄曲条跳甲幼虫和成虫分别为63%和60%;对菜缢管蚜成蚜和若蚜的侵染率分别为44%和35%。通过机率值分析,得出该菌株对烟粉虱1~4龄若虫的LT50分别为4.14,3.78,6.24和7.59 d;对小菜蛾2~4龄幼虫的LT50分别为7.29,8.16和9.82d;对黄曲条跳甲成虫和幼虫的LT50分别为11.22和8.11 d;对菜缢管蚜成蚜和若蚜的LT50分别为11.01和12.15 d。说明该球孢白僵菌菌株对烟粉虱、小菜蛾和黄曲条跳甲3种非目标害虫具有一定的兼控作用,在蔬菜害虫的生物防治中具一定的应用潜力。     

黄曲条跳甲为害下十字花科蔬菜可溶性糖含量的动态变化

采用蒽酮比色法测定了十字花科蔬菜上黄曲条跳甲Phyllotreta striolata(Fabricius)不同危害程度下叶片可溶性糖含量的变化.结果表明黄曲条跳甲的为害显著影响十字花科蔬菜的可溶性糖含量.萝卜接虫2d,甘蓝接虫4d、12d,芥蓝接虫2d、8d、12d,白菜、芥菜、菜心接虫2d、4d、6d、8d、10d、12d时,健叶、轻度为害叶、中度为害叶、重度为害叶的可溶性糖含量均低于对照.但萝卜接虫4d、6d时,中度为害叶、重度为害叶的可溶性糖含量高于对照,4d时,重度为害叶升高28.65%,甘蓝接虫2d时,可溶性糖含量分别升高18.70%、24.40%、30.88%、30.50%,芥蓝接虫2d、4d时,轻度为害叶、重度为害叶的可溶性糖含量均高于对照.十字花科蔬菜可溶性糖含量的变化是植株对害虫胁迫的一种响应.     

黄曲条跳甲为害下十字花科蔬菜可溶性糖含量的动态变化

采用蒽酮比色法测定了十字花科蔬菜上黄曲条跳甲Phyllotreta striolata（Fabricius）不同危害程度下叶片可溶性糖含量的变化。结果表明黄曲条跳甲的为害显著影响十字花科蔬菜的可溶性糖含量。萝卜接虫2d,甘蓝接虫4d、12d,芥蓝接虫2d、8d、12d,白菜、芥菜、菜心接虫2d、4d、6d、8d、10d、12d时,健叶、轻度为害叶、中度为害叶、重度为害叶的可溶性糖含量均低于对照。但萝卜接虫4d、6d时,中度为害叶、重度为害叶的可溶性糖含量高于对照,4d时,重度为害叶升高28．65％,甘蓝接虫2d时,可溶性糖含量分别升高18．70％、24．40％、30．88％、30．50％,芥蓝接虫2d、4d时,轻度为害叶、重度为害叶的可溶性糖含量均高于对照。十字花科蔬菜可溶性糖含量的变化是植株对害虫胁迫的一种响应。     

黄曲条跳甲田间种群发生的生态干扰

利用黄板诱集方法,监测黄曲条跳甲（Phyllotreta striolata）田间成虫的数量动态,发现该虫在福州全年均可发生危害,没有明显的越冬现象。2002～2003年共出现4个较为明显的成虫发生高峰和3个明显的成虫数量低谷。田间成虫数量与降雨、气温的相关分析表明,黄曲条跳甲的成虫发生与降雨、气温的关系不显著,但受到降雨、气温的复合作用。黄曲条跳甲成虫在不同寄主上的发生量存在明显的差异,数量变化在一茬菜的生长过程中也不同。黄曲条跳甲成虫对寄主具有明显的选择作用。     

夏大豆田主要害虫及天敌生态位研究

研究了7—8月份夏大豆田主要食叶性害虫及其天敌的生态位宽度和生态位重叠度。分析了各昆虫种间的竞争动态,害虫与其天敌在时间上的同步性和空间上的同域性均较强,为保护利用自然天敌控制夏大豆害虫提供了科学依据。     

芥蓝田主要害虫种群生态位研究

2001年秋季在福州郊区对芥蓝田BrassicaalboglabraBailey害虫种群的生态位进行了初步研究,研究结果表明:蚜虫、粉虱和小菜蛾为秋季芥蓝田的优势种害虫,菜青虫、黄曲条跳甲和斑潜蝇为随从种害虫。这些主要害虫的生态位在时间、空间维度和时-空二维上存在明显分化,各种害虫对资源的竞争主要集中在对空间资源的竞争,即随着时间的推移,害虫间的竞争主要集中在对植株上可获得的产卵、取食和栖息的空间资源的竞争。     

柑桔叶片害虫群落结构的生态位研究

分析了柑桔叶片害虫群落在水平、垂直和时间序列上的生态位。表明：叶片害虫群落在水平分布上是均匀的;在树冠层次上,中上层较中下层稳定且均匀;在时间节律上,全年均有分布的只有白轮蚧,分布最窄的为刺蛾类。经模糊聚类分析表明,柑桔叶片害虫群落由3个集群和3个边缘种组成。     

太行山中段植物群落优势种生态位研究

运用TWINSPAN把样方分为8个群落类型,用Levins、Shannon-wiener生态位宽度公式和Petraitis生态位特定重叠指数公式测定群落中主要种群生态位宽度和生态位重叠,并分析各种群生态位的生态学意义。在总群落中,披针苔草和草地早熟禾的生态位宽度最大,说明它们对群落环境的适应能力最强,对资源的利用能力也最强;在不同的群落里（群落Ⅰ到群落Ⅷ）,相同种群生态位宽度有极大差别,草地早熟禾在群落Ⅱ中,B1为 2.753,B2为 15.561,在群落Ⅷ中,B1为0,B2为1;总群落中,各种群的生态位宽度明显大于其在其他群落里的生态位宽度。两个种群的生态位重叠值越大,说明它们占据越相似的资源空间,珠芽蓼和火绒草的生态位重叠值高达0.892（群落Ⅰ中）,说明它们利用资源的相似性程度很高;在总群落中,各种群之间生态位重叠值都很低。     

A behavioural study to help clarify how undersowing with clover affects host-plant selection by pest insects of brassica crops

Laboratory and field-cage tests were done to determine how undersowing brassica plants (Brassica oleraceae L. and B. rapa L.) (Cruciferae) with subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) (Papilionaceae) affected host-plant selection by eight pest insect species of brassica crops. The pest species tested were Pieris rapae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) (the small white butterfly), Pieris brassicae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) (the large white butterfly), Delia radicum (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) (the cabbage root fly), Phaedon cochleariae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (the mustard beetle), Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) (the diamond-back moth), Evergestis forficalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (the garden-pebble moth), Mamestra brassicae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (the cabbage moth) and Brevicoryne brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (the cabbage aphid). In all tests, except two in which the brassica plants were about three times as high as the clover background, 39%–100% fewer of the pest insect stage monitored were found on host plants presented in clover than on those presented in bare soil. Contrary to claims supporting the ‘enemies hypothesis’, differences in colonization alone appeared sufficient to account for the lower numbers of insects found when host plants are undersown with clover. To be effective in reducing plant colonization, the clover must cover 50%, and preferably more, of the vertical profile of the crop plants. As clover used as an undersown crop often has to be cut to make it less competitive with the main brassica crop, temporal aspects of the condition of the clover during critical periods of pest activity need to be recorded carefully before concluding that undersowing does not produce the effect desired against certain pest species under field conditions. The effective clover barrier is like any other treatment, if it is not present at the appropriate time it cannot be expected to reduce pest insect numbers.     

Linking habitat complexity with predation of pests through molecular gut-content analyses

Improving the diversity of farm systems or landscapes can lead to more effective biological control by providing refuge and alternative resources for colonising natural enemies. Within an experimental cabbage agroecosystem, we examined the effects of habitat management (i.e. herbicide use and cover crops) on pest populations and predator community structure, and report one of the first studies on the trophic links in this system using molecular gut-content analysis. In response to herbicide and cover crop management treatments designed to create different levels of habitat diversity, we quantified the abundance of two pests, Plutella xylostella Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) and Pieris rapae Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), and predators. We designed species-specific primers to detect prey DNA in predators' guts. Pieris rapae were significantly more abundant in plots where cover crops were killed early in the season, and habitat management generated unique predator communities in response to weed management treatments. Thirty-five per cent of predators tested positive for prey DNA, and habitat management had interactive effects on predation of P. xylostella. Combined we found that habitat management has variable effects on natural enemy–pest interactions.     

The comparative susceptibilities of Pieris brassicae and P. rapae to a granulosis virus from P. brassicae

A comparison was made of the dosage-mortality responses of larvae of Pieris brassicae and P. rapae to infection by P. brassicae granulosis virus (GV). Bioassays with first, second, third, and fourth-instar larvae of both species revealed a marked difference in susceptibility between instars and between species. Median lethal dosages (LD₅₀s) for P. rapae larvae ranged from five capsules for the first instar to 662 capsules for the fourth instar. With P. brassicae, this range extended from 66 capsules to 2.3 × 10⁷ capsules. The time-mortality responses of the two species were similar when fed virus dosages equivalent to an LD₉₀. Median lethal times (LT₅₀s) ranged from 5 days for first-instar larvae to 7–8 days for fourth-instar larvae. A comparison between a long-established laboratory stock of P. brassicae and a stock recently acquired from the field showed no significant difference in their susceptibility to GV. The implications of the pronounced species differences in susceptibility to GV infection are discussed in relation to the potential field control of P. rapae and P. brassicae.     

Control of Lepidopteran insect pests in transgenic Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) transformed with a synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis cry1C gene

 A synthetic Bacillus thuringiensis cry1C gene was transferred to three Korean cultivars of Chinese cabbage via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of hypocotyl explants. Hygromycin resistance served as an efficient selective marker. The transformation efficiency ranged from 5% to 9%. Transformation was confirmed by Southern blot analysis, PCR, Northern analysis, and progeny tests. Many transgenic plants of the closed-head types (lines Olympic and Samjin) flowered in vitro. Over 50 hygromycin-resistant plants were successfully transferred to soil. The transgenic plants and their progeny were resistant to diamondback moths (DBM, Plutella xylostella), the major insect pest of crucifers world-wide, as well as to cabbage loopers (Trichoplusia ni) and imported cabbage worms (Pieris rapae). Both susceptible Geneva DBM and a DBM population resistant to Cry1A protein were controlled by the Cry1C-transgenic plants. The efficient and reproducible transformation system described may be useful for the transfer of other agriculturally important genes into Chinese cabbage.

卷蛾分索赤眼蜂对十字花科蔬菜的行为反应

为了明确不同十字花科蔬菜挥发物对寄生蜂搜索寄主行为的影响,在室内利用“Y”型嗅觉仪测定了卷蛾分索赤眼蜂 Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja 对小菜蛾 Plutella xylostella L. 常见的6种寄主植物（甘蓝Brassica oleracea、芥蓝Brassica alboglabra、 芥菜Brassica juncea、菜心Brassica parachinensis、萝卜Raphanus sativus和西洋菜Nasturtium officinale）及4个不同甘蓝品种的嗅觉行为反应,并用GC-MS对6种健康寄主植物的挥发物进行了化学成分分析。结果表明,卷蛾分索赤眼蜂的嗅觉反应不仅与十字花科蔬菜的种类有关, 而且与同一种蔬菜的不同品种有关。6种寄主植物的完整植株对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂雌蜂均具有显著的引诱作用（P<0.05）,并且不同种类之间的引诱力大小存在着一定的差异, 其中西洋菜对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂的吸引力最强,其次是甘蓝、菜心和芥菜,萝卜和芥蓝的吸引力最差。在测试的4个甘蓝品种完整植株中,雅实绿对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂的引诱力极显著强于日本春夏秋（P<0.01）。GC-MS分析结果显示,6种蔬菜的挥发物中绝大多数是烷烃类物质, 其次是烯烃类物质,还有一些醛、醇、酯、酸、酮及噻唑类化合物。其中醛类是西洋菜挥发物中的特有成分,包括5种（2,3-二甲基苯甲醛、辛醛、壬醛、十一醛、十二醛）,相对含量总计为4.90%,并且其烷烃类（33种）和醇类（6种）的相对含量分别为47.42%和5.66%, 均高于其他几种蔬菜,甘蓝中烯烃类（9种,5.52%）和酸类（4种,12.20%）的种类数和相对含量均为最高。本研究可为生产中蔬菜品种的合理布局和筛选寄生蜂的引诱剂提供理论依据。     

四种十字花科蔬菜上小菜蛾自然种群连续世代生命表

利用作用因子生命表技术,组建芥菜、芥蓝、小白菜和菜心4种十字花科蔬菜上小菜蛾自然种群连续世代生命表,分析寄主植物和生物因子对小菜蛾种群数量的控制作用。结果表明：在4种十字花科蔬菜的一造菜上,小菜蛾均能完成两个世代。虽然小菜蛾在芥菜上的初始卵量最高,但害虫种群总增长倍数在芥蓝上最高,其次为小白菜,菜心和芥菜,分别为17．64、11．90、11．43和3．76。这说明尽管芥菜对小菜蛾成虫的产卵有一定的吸引作用,但不适合小菜蛾生长发育。芥蓝是最适宜小菜蛾种群增长的寄主。生物因子在小菜蛾自然种群控制中起着重要的作用,但是在不同种类十字花科蔬菜上,天敌类群对小菜蛾控制作用存在一定差异。除芥菜之外,寄生性天敌对芥蓝、菜心和小白菜上的小菜蛾种群控制作用最大,其次为“捕食及其它”,病原微生物的控制作用最小。“捕食及其它”对芥菜上小菜蛾种群的作用非常明显,如果排除此因子作用,小菜蛾种群两代后将增长126．03倍。该因子是导致芥菜小菜蛾自然种群增长趋势指数低的主要原因。因此在制定小菜蛾防治策略时,应考虑蔬菜的种类和布局,加大对芥蓝小菜蛾种群的防治力度;芥菜可作为一种诱杀植物种植,以吸引小菜蛾产卵,并集中防治。这些防治策略在小菜蛾综合治理中具有重要的实际意义。
