Effect of a virus associated with the reproductive system of the parasitoid wasp,Campoletis sonorensis,on host weight gain

The particulate fraction of the calyx fluid of the endoparasitoid, Campoletis sonorensis, reduces host weight gain when manually injected into healthy Heliothis virescens larvae. Reduced weight gain of the host, H. virescens, is normally associated with parasitism by C. sonorensis. Electron microscopy has confirmed that the particulate fraction of the calyx fluid is composed of virus particles and it appears that this virus, injected with the egg at oviposition, actually reduces host weight gain. The effect of the virus is negated when the calyx fluid is exposed to ultraviolet light prior to injection. Furthermore, the calyx fluid is effective only if injected into hosts; there is no effect on host weight gain when hosts are fed or topically treated with the virus-containing calyx fluid.     

Levels of Free and Conjugated Abscisic Acid in Developing Floral Organs of the Navel Orange (Citrus sinensi [L.] Osbeck cv Washington)

The levels of abscisic acid (ABA) and alkaline-hydrolyzable ABA-conjugate (putatively identified as the glucosyl ester, abscisyl-β-d-glucopyranoside) were determined by enzyme immunoassay in the organs of developing navel orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck cv Washington) flowers. Although both compounds were detected in every tissue, developmentally related differences between organs in the total and relative contents were observed. The highest ABA levels were observed in the stigma/style shortly after anthesis (11.5 ± 0.6 nanomoles ABA per gram fresh weight and 4.8 ± 0.6 nanomoles ABA-conjugate per gram fresh weight); whereas, the highest ABA-conjugate levels were observed at the same time in the floral disc (hypogynous disc plus calyx; 3.5 ± 0.1 nmol nanomols ABA per gram fresh weight and 11.8 ± 0.9 nanomoles ABA-conjugate per gram fresh weight). These results suggest that differences in ABA content reflect tissue-specific variation in the facility for ABA conjugation. Increased ABA levels were observed in the stigma/style near anthesis; however, a relationship with pollination is discounted, since `Washington' navel orange flowers are male sterile and devoid of pollen.     

Relationship between carrot weevil infestation and parsley yield

The relationship between numbers of carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis (LeConte), oviposition scars and parsley fresh weight and plant mortality was measured in research plots during 1999 and 2000. Fresh weight was measured in one to two cuttings of parsley planted on two planting dates. The average weight declined with increasing numbers of oviposition scars in the later planting in 1999. Compensatory growth in surviving plants may reduce this effect. Plant mortality increased as number of oviposition scars per plant increased in the second planting in both years and in the first cutting of the first planting in 2000. One oviposition scar per plant is sufficient to result in significant reduction in fresh weight per plant. In commercial parsley fields, the relationship between fresh weight of parsley per 30-cm row section of parsley was best described as a linear function of the proportion of plants with root feeding. Economic damage to parsley that is equivalent to the cost of controlling carrot weevil was estimated to result from approximately 1% of plants with root damage. Based upon this estimated economic injury level, we suggest an action threshold of 1% of plants containing carrot weevil oviposition scars earlier in the growing season when controls could be applied to prevent the damage.     

Yolk protein immunoassays (YP-ELISA) to assess diet and reproductive quality of mass-reared Orius insidiosus (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae)

A yolk protein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (YP-ELISA) was developed for the predator Orius insidiosus (Say). The YP-ELISA is intended to assess reproductive response to dietary and other rearing conditions, and to assist in quality control and diet development for mass rearing. Hybridomas and monoclonal antibodies were produced against homogenates of eggs dissected from females. Hybridomas were selected for secretion of IgG that reacted with extracts of both females and their eggs, and that did not react with male extracts. Each cloned hybridoma produced a monoclonal antibody that specifically reacted on western blots against one of the two major yolk polypeptides, apoVn-I (180,000 molecular weight) or apoVn-II (40,000). Yolk protein ELISAs were developed with these antibodies to assess yolk protein content of female O. insidiosus as a measure of reproductive fitness and as a potential predictor of fecundity. Protocols for an indirect antigen ELISA and double antibody sandwich ELISA were developed to assess yolk protein contents of eggs and total contents in whole body homogenates. ELISA standards consisted of homogenates of eggs collected 0-24 h following oviposition. As determined with the sandwich ELISA, yolk protein contents of eggs declined with age before hatch, with a half-life of 32-34 h. Results were similar whether the detecting antibody-enzyme conjugate was anti-apoVn-I or anti-apoVn-II. Optimal conditions and sampling parameters were developed for the sandwich ELISA, which demonstrated minimal nonspecific interference in whole-insect extracts. In an initial application of the YP-ELISA, oviposition rates over a 10-d period were compared with yolk protein contents at the end of that period, dependent on diets of differing nutritional composition and quality. High and low yolk protein contents correlated with oviposition rates on respective diets, though oviposition showed more graded response to diets than did yolk protein. Improvements in sampling methods are discussed.     

Penetration into caterpillar cells of virus-like particles injected during oviposition by parasitoid ichneumonid wasps.

Particles originating from the ovarial calyx epithelium of two different species of ichneumonid wasp are injected into host caterpillars during oviposition. At 1 3/4 h post oviposition, many calyx fluid particles are either associated with or have oenetrated through the basement membranes surrounding various tissues. Shortly thereafter, apparently intact particle nucleocapsids are observed in both the cytoplasm and nucleus of host cells. An unusual tubular protrusion of the viral envelope appears to be involved in either or both of penetration of basement membranes and entry of nucleocapsids into host cells.     

两种寄生蜂的卵巢结构与卵成熟特点初步观察

对斜纹夜蛾的内寄生蜂双斑侧沟茧蜂MicroplitisbicoloratusChen和南美斑潜蝇的外寄生蜂潜蝇姬小蜂Diglyhusisaea(Walker)的卵巢结构进行了研究。双斑侧沟茧蜂的2个卵巢管底部膨大有大量的卵,通过凹陷的颈部与萼区相连接,在萼区里大量成熟待产的卵浸泡在萼液中。产卵量随产卵时间延长而降低,在日产卵实验中,日产卵量202(±114SE),从1000至1800每2h的产卵量分别占日产卵量的38,32,17和13%;在一生产卵量实验中,9d产卵期,每头雌峰一生平均产卵量为502(±78SE)粒,第1d产卵量占一生总产卵量的42%。潜蝇姬小蜂的每个卵巢由3条卵巢管组成,每条输卵管中仅有1粒成熟卵,整个卵巢中只有6粒成熟卵,每次产卵数不超过6粒。结果表明,M.bicoloratus是早熟卵(proovigenic)类昆虫;D.isaea是同步卵(synovigenic)类昆虫。     

Virus-like Particles in the Calyx of Phanerotoma flavitestacea (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Their Transfer Into Host Tissues

Virus-like particles occur in the calyx fluid and cells of the braconid parasitoid, Phanerotoma flavitestacea Fischer. These particles occur in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and cytoplasmic vacuoles of the calyx wall cells as well as in the lumen of the calyx. They were subsequently transferred to the host, Paramyelois transitella (Walker), during oviposition of the parasitoid. Within 2 hours after the wasps had oviposited, similar virus-like particles were found in the host in the cytoplasm of developing muscle tissue, fat body, and nerve tissue. Such particles were absent in unparasitized hosts. The significance of these findings as related to the avoidance of a host response is discussed.     

Effects of female wasp accessory secretions, host fat body, and host hemolymph on protein synthesis and egg viability in Microplitis croceipes (Braconidae)

Effects of female wasp reproductive gland secretions, host fat body and hemolymph, and mechanical constriction of the parasitoid egg on protein synthesis were studied in eggs of Microplitis croceipes (Braconidae) dissected from the wasp ovary. Protein synthesis was measured by 35S-methionine incorporation in eggs held in tissue culture medium for 16 h after treatment. Synthesis was stimulated in oocytes obtained from three regions of the ovary (egg tube, reservoir, and calyx) by fat body and venom gland but not by calyx fluid. A combination of fat body, venom gland, and calyx fluid did not enhance the level of synthesis relative to that of fat body or venom gland alone. Host hemolymph inhibited protein synthesis when incubated directly with the dissected eggs but not when the eggs were collected from an artificial oviposition substrate (AOS) containing hemolymph. The inhibitory effect of the hemolymph is thought to be due to the occurrence of melanization. Mechanical constriction did not alter the rate of synthesis, confirming an earlier report that synthesis in newly deposited eggs in ongoing and is not dependent on mechanical activation during the act of oviposition. Mechanisms responsible for sustaining protein synthesis in eggs for 16 h in vitro after their exposure to host hemolymph in the AOSs or fat body and venom gland are not known. Only a small percentage (less than 2%) of dissected ovarial reservoir oocytes that were mechanically constricted and exposed to the venom gland, calyx fluid, and host fat body hatched in vitro. In contrast, an earlier study demonstrated that 38% of eggs oviposited by female wasps into AOSs developed and hatched.

The calyx fluid of Microplitis rufiventris parasitoid and growth of its host Spodoptera littoralis larvae

The morphology of the female reproductive system of pupal and adult stages of Microplitis rufiventris and the ultrastructure of the ovaries are described and illustrated. Two morphologically distinct types of particles of nuclear origin, i.e., polydnavirus (PDV) and a virus-like filamentous particle (VLFP) were detected in the ovarian calyx fluid of the female wasp. It is likely that these particles are injected into the host during oviposition. PDV initiated replication in the calyx of mid-aged pupae and in pharate adults and were present throughout adult life. VLFP were only seen in the calyx fluid of newly emerged adults, and therefore observed after the PDV. Feulgen and methyl-green pyronin staining revealed the presence of DNA in both types of particles. The effects of injection of Spodoptera littoralis larvae with a combination of parasitoid viruses and venom of M. rufiventris females (CxFV) were investigated and the results were compared with two control groups, i.e., larvae injected with Pringle's saline (PS) and naturally parasitized larvae. CxFV-larvae showed significant declines (P<0.05) in food consumption, weight of ejected faeces and weight gain when compared with PS-larvae. However, naturally parasitized larvae (parasitoid egg+CxFV+ovarian protein) displayed a high significance score (P<0.01) in comparison with those of PS-larvae. The approximate digestibility (AD) values of S. littoralis larvae were positively affected as early as day 2 post-treatment by either injection of CxFV or parasitization. However, a reduction in AD was observed in both PS- and CxFV-larvae on day 3-7 in comparison with naturally parasitized larvae. Other indices of food utilization were unchanged in CxFV-larvae when compared to saline treated or parasitized controls.
