高压静电场对小麦叶片保护酶系统及麦长管蚜种群动态的影响

为明确高压静电场胁迫小麦种子对其叶片以及麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae Fabricius产生的影响。测定了小麦苗期叶片及麦长管蚜体内抗氧化酶(SOD,POD,CAT)的活性,并采用盆栽种群实验研究了麦长管蚜的种群动态。实验结果表明:(1)在未被麦长管蚜取食的小麦叶片中,SOD和POD活性最大值均出现于4 k V/cm处理组,且与对照组差异显著(P0.05),CAT活性在未被取食的叶片中无显著差异(P0.05);而被取食过的叶片中,4 k V/cm处理组的SOD和POD活性均显著低于对照组(P0.05),而CAT活性结果显示4 k V/cm和6 k V/cm处理组均显著低于对照组(P0.05)。(2)静电场处理组中麦长管蚜的SOD和CAT活性均显著高于对照组(P0.05),但POD活性均显著低于对照组(P0.05)。(3)种群动态和逻辑斯蒂模型参数显示4 k V/cm处理组的小麦环境容纳量(K)最小。研究的创新点在于对影响麦长管蚜的介质(小麦)的抗氧化酶活性进行了测定,进一步明确了高压静电场对动植物的影响,说明了4 k V/cm是影响小麦和麦长管蚜的关键强度,为高压静电生态控蚜提供了新思路。     

紫外长期胁迫对高世代麦长管蚜生命表参数的影响

为了评估紫外连续处理对第20代以后麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae (Fabricius)种群动态的影响,采用特定年龄生命表方法,设置不同强度(0,0.50,0.70 m W/cm2) UV-B连续多代处理麦长管蚜成虫,统计经紫外处理后的麦长管蚜第22代,第27代,第32代,第37代麦长管蚜生命表种群参数的变化并总结了1—37代麦长管蚜内禀增长率的变化规律。结果表明:(1)处理组供试麦长管蚜平均世代周期(T)呈先显著升高后下降的趋势。(2)低强度处理组内禀增长率(rm)、净增殖率(R0)、周限增长率(λ)均呈先升高后下降又升高的趋势,高强度处理组供试麦长管蚜内禀增长率(rm)、净增殖率(R0)、周限增长率(λ)呈先下降后显著升高的的趋势,且均在G37达到最大值。(3) 1—37代处理组麦长管蚜rm呈现先显著增高后下降又升高又下降又显著升高的变化规律,且均在G37达到最大值。由此可见:麦长管蚜经过多代的UV-B胁迫后,对其生命表参数的影响依然显著,在G37麦长管蚜对紫外的适应能力最强。本研究的创新点在于解析了第22代以后紫外胁迫对麦长管蚜种群动态的影响,从而为全面深入的阐述紫外胁迫对麦长管蚜生长繁殖的影响规律,掌握不同紫外胁迫下的剂量效应关系及麦长管蚜的适应性提供实验基础和理论依据。

高压静电场胁迫对各代麦长管蚜体重及抗氧化酶基因表达的影响

为探究高压静电场对麦长管蚜的影响,设置不同剂量(4 kv/cm-20 min、5 kv/cm-40 min)的高压静电连续处理小麦种子和出生12 h内的麦长管蚜若虫40代,以未经上述处理的小麦种子和蚜虫为对照;通过qRT-PCR的方法对处理至第4,11,21,31,40代的麦长管蚜进行抗氧化酶基因表达量的测定,并测定相...     

小麦品种抗性对麦长管蚜种群增长的影响

本研究采用室内、外结合的方法,分苗期和拔节期,对大田抗蚜性鉴定中表现不同的10个小麦品种的抗性对麦长管蚜种群增长的影响进行了研究。研究结果显示,品种抗性对麦长管蚜的存活率、发育进度、繁殖力有一致的抑制作用;品种间抗蚜性存在显著差异。同时通过组建不同品种上麦长管蚜繁殖特征生命表,从量的角度揭示了小麦品种抗性与麦长管蚜种群增长之间的关系。     

拌种吡虫啉残留对麦长管蚜实验种群的影响

为探明吡虫啉拌种后在下一代小麦籽粒中的吡虫啉残留对麦长管蚜Sitobion avenae (Fabricius)实验种群的影响, 用60%吡虫啉悬浮种衣剂与小麦籽粒按照2, 4, 6和8 g/kg的比例进行处理, 在室内条件下采用超高效液相色谱-串联四级杆液质联用法对收获后的小麦籽粒进行残留分析; 并通过室内生命表方法, 研究麦长管蚜取食上述剂量吡虫啉拌种处理收获后的小麦籽粒所长幼苗后的各项生命参数。结果表明： 收获的小麦籽粒中吡虫啉残留量随拌种剂量的增加而增加, 以8 g/kg处理后收获的籽粒中残留量最高, 为0.0290 mg/kg。随着吡虫啉残留量的增加, 麦长管蚜发育历期缩短, 有翅蚜率和产仔量增加, 但与对照相比均未达到显著差异(P=0.392＞0.05); 不同剂量吡虫啉拌种处理的麦长管蚜净生殖率、 内禀增长率、 周限增长率比对照偏高, 而种群加倍时间、 平均世代周期比对照偏低, 但均未达到显著性差异（P=0.406）。结果说明小麦籽粒中的吡虫啉微量残留对麦长管蚜生长发育无显著不利影响, 但对其生殖能力具有一定的促进作用。     

重金属Zn2+胁迫下麦长管蚜的取食行为

为了探索重金属锌长期胁迫对麦长管蚜(Sitobion avenae)取食行为的变化影响,在模拟自然的实验室条件下,用不同浓度Zn~(2+)溶液浇灌土壤,通过土壤-小麦-蚜虫体系连续处理麦长管蚜15代,用EPG(刺探电位技术)对第1、5、10、15代成蚜的取食行为进行了监测。结果表明,第1代和第5代时,200 mg/kg的Zn~(2+)处理后np波和C波的总持续时间和数量显著低于对照,800mg/kg的Zn~(2+)使其显著增加。到第15代,高剂量的Zn~(2+)处理后np波和C波的总持续时间和数量均显著高于对照。涉及分泌唾液的E1波持续时间及涉及被动取食营养的E2波出现次数并未受到低剂量Zn~(2+)的显著影响,但高剂量的Zn~(2+)处理后单独E1波、伴随稳定E2的E1波总持续时间及E2波的数量均显著降低。麦长管蚜的取食行为会受到重金属锌的影响并且会在高剂量Zn~(2+)的胁迫条件下产生积累效应,而低剂量的Zn~(2+)则促进麦长管蚜对小麦的取食行为。针对重金属而言,此效应发生改变的关键浓度为400 mg/kg,蚜虫取食行为发生改变的关键世代为第5代和第10代。     

Demographic traits of Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) reared on Aphis fabae Scopoli (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Lady beetles are the most important predatory species among arthropods; thus, studying their population parameters gives a clear picture about their life span. The demography of the lady beetle, Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), was studied under laboratory condition, on Aphis fabae at 27?°C based on the age-stage, two-sex life table. The means and standard errors were estimated by the bootstrap techniques. The results showed that the intrinsic rate of increase (r) and the finite rate of increase (λ) were 0.18 and 1.20 d^?1, respectively. The net reproduction rate (R ₀) and the gross reproduction rate were 232.49 and 442.48 offspring/individual, respectively. The mean generation time (T) was 29.03?days. The first peak of reproductive value in females was on the 18th day, which coincides with the total pre-oviposition period counted from birth. The life expectancy curve (e_xj ) of a new hatched female adult was 60?days. The results demonstrated that growth, survival and development of the predator can be described accurately by use of the age-stage, two-sex life table.     

Comparative demographic analysis of sub-lethal effects of Calotropis procera extract and some insecticides on Bemisia tabaci (Genn.)

The sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) (Hem.: Aleyrodidae), is a major pest of agricultural and greenhouse crops worldwide. In this study, we used the age-stage two-sex life table to evaluate sub-lethal effects of the botanical extract taken from Calotropis procera (Asclepiadaceae) on B. tabaci and compared these effects with those obtained from exposing the pest to the four synthetic pesticides, abamectin, imidacloprid, diazinon and pymetrozin. The toxicity of the chemical insecticides and C. procera extract on adult whiteflies was assayed using the leaf-dip method. The exposed whiteflies showed significant differences in the net reproductive rate (R₀), intrinsic rates of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ) and mean generation times (T). The lowest amounts of R₀, r, λ and T parameters were observed in diazinon (2.373, 0.036, 1.036, and 24.590) and pymetrozin (2.455, 0.036, 1.036, and 25.281), respectively. Additionally, the parameters obtained from the age-stage two-sex life table method were compared to those of traditional female age-specific life table. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference among parameters obtained from the two life table methods. Results of this study implies on potential of C. procera extract for control of B. tabaci comparable to chemical pesticides.     

Population parameters and growth of Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae) under elevated CO2 concentrations in the air

The effects of three different CO₂ concentrations (400, 600, and 1000 ppm) on the population parameters and growth of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, were examined. Raw life history data from M. persicae were analyzed using an age-stage, two-sex life table to take into account the viable development rate among individuals. The population projections of M. persicae indicate the stage structure and variability of the population growth under different CO₂ concentrations based on an age-stage, two-sex life table analysis. Significantly longer oviposition duration and higher fecundity were observed under elevated CO₂ (600 and 1000 ppm) than those under ambient CO₂ (400 ppm). Furthermore, the M. persicae population reared under elevated CO₂ concentrations showed higher intrinsic and finite rates of population increase than under ambient CO₂ concentrations. These results indicate that the population parameters and growth of M. persicae were positively influenced in the fecundity by elevated CO₂ concentrations relative to the ambient CO₂. These findings indicate that it is basically remained to understand the direct effects of CO₂ elevation on the host plants, and the interaction between the host plants and M. persicae in the same CO₂ concentration for establishing more realistic population growth model systems for M. persicae in the aerial environment rising CO₂ concentration level.     

Age-stage two-sex life table analysis of Sesamia nonagrioides (Lep.: Noctuidae) reared on different host plants

The effects of maize and sugarcane were studied on the demographic parameters of Sesamia nonagrioides under controlled environmental conditions. Life table parameters were estimated using age-stage two-sex life table method. Total developmental times of immature stages were 53.51 ± 0.42 and 39.58 ± 0.14 days on maize and sugarcane, respectively. The fecundity values were found to be 93.07 ± 2.94 and 122.95 ± 6.72 eggs/female on maize and sugarcane, respectively. Based on the analysis, the intrinsic rates of increase (r) and the mean generation time (T) of S. nonagrioides were determined as 0.0909 ± 0.0027 and 0.0579 ± 0.0021 day^?1; 42.09 ± 0.21 and 56.83 ± 0.63 days on sugarcane and maize, respectively. Consequently, the sugarcane was a better host for development and population increase of S. nonagrioides than maize. These results can be used to predict population dynamics of the pest on the natural hosts and to improve mass rearing technique on natural diets in insectariums.     

Populations ofSitobion avenae andAphidius ervi on spring wheat in the northwestern United States Spatial distribution and sequential sampling plans based on numerical and binomial counts

During a three-year field survey of the English grain aphid,Sitobion avenae (F.) (Homoptera: Aphididae) and the parasitoid,Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae; represented by aphid mummies) on spring wheat, data sets were generated which consisted of 47 estimates of mean density (m aphids per tiller), variance (s ²), and the proportion of empty tillers (P ₀ forS. avenae and 22 estimates of the same statistics forA. ervi, respectively. Each estimate of the aphid and parasitoid populations was based on counts per individual tiller on each sampling occasion. Taylor's power law was found to fit the data sets better than Iwao'sm ^*−m regression model. Taylor's slope forS. avenae (1.3076) was significantly higher than that forA. ervi (1.1519), indicating thatS. avenae was more aggregated thanA. ervi. Based on temporal changes in spatial aggregation represented by an index, 1/k [wherek was estimated asm ²/(s²−m)],S. avenae was most aggregated at low densities during the early infestation period and tended to be less aggregated as density increased, whereasA. ervi was more likely to be randomly distributed. A commonk was detected for neitherS. avenae norA. ervi because the slopes from the linear regression ofk onm significantly exceeded 0. Sequential sampling plans, based on numerical (complete) and binomial (presence or absence) counts, for the aphid and parasitoid species were developed using Taylor's parameters and those estimated from the linear regression of ln(m) on ln[−ln[P ₀], respectively. Suggestions are made concerning the use of the sampling plans and the levels of precision that may be attained.     

Impact of intercropping aphid-resistant wheat cultivars withoilseed rape on wheat aphid (Sitobion avenae) and its natural enemies

The effects of intercropping of wheat cultivars and oilseed rape on the densities of wheat aphid, Sitobion avenae, and their arthropod natural enemies were evaluated. Three winter wheat cultivars with different resistant levels to S. avenae were used: ‘KOK’ (high resistance), ‘Xiaobaidongmai’ (low resistance) and ‘Hongmanghong’ (susceptible). The results showed that the densities of S. avenae were significantly higher on the monoculture pattern than on either the 8-2 intercropping pattern (eight rows of wheat with two rows of oilseed rape) or the 8-4 intercropping pattern (eight rows of wheat with four rows of oilseed rape). The mean number of predators and the mummy rates of S. avenae were significantly higher in two intercropping patterns than those in the monoculture pattern. The densities of S. avenae, ladybeetles, and mummy rate of S. avenae were significantly different among different wheat cultivars. The highest densities of S. avenae and ladybeetles were found on wheat cultivar Hongmanghong. The lowest densities of S. avenae associated with high mummy rate of S. avenae were found on wheat cultivar Xiaobaidongmai. The results showed that wheat-oilseed rape intercropping conserved more predators and parasitoids than in wheat monoculture fields, and partial resistance of wheat cultivar Xiaobaidongmai had complementary or even synergistic effects on parasitoid of S. avenae.
