蝗虫微孢子虫病对东亚飞蝗聚集行为的影响

采用行为生测法和触角电位法研究了感染蝗虫微孢子虫病的东亚飞蝗对其聚集信息素粗提物的行为反应。在第3龄时部分蝗虫每头接种10^6个蝗虫微孢子虫,与健虫同一条件下饲养。用二氯甲烷从健康蝗虫的粪便、体表或卵囊中抽提聚集信息素,粗提物经纯化和浓缩后保存于冰柜中待用。结果表明,感病飞蝗对其信息素的感受能力下降,聚集行为反应减弱。行为生物测定发现,微孢子虫病对第4龄雌性蝗虫和第5龄蝗虫的聚集行为有明显的抑制作用,而对第4龄雄蝗的影响较小;总的看来,信息素粗提物对感病雄蝗和高龄蝗虫的作用分别高于对感病雌蝗和低龄蝗虫的作用。触角电位(EAG)测定表明,感染了微孢子虫病的东亚飞蝗蝗蝻和成虫,对其信息素粗提物的敏感性降低,且对不同来源的聚集信息素的电生理反应不同,其中对从雄性成熟蝗虫、第4龄蝗蝻及第5龄病虫的粪便中抽提制备的信息素粗提物、第4龄蝗蝻粪便挥发物、第4龄蝗蝻活虫体表挥发物的电生理反应显著下降;但对第5龄雌蝗和第5龄散居型蝗虫的粪便抽提物的电生理活性,病健虫无明显差异。此研究结果证明,施用微孢子虫治蝗时,微孢子虫对蝗虫的聚集行为有明显的影响,为微孢子虫的控害机理提供了新的证据。

内蒙古农牧交错区草地蝗虫防治对策与技术的研究初报

报道了2005年和2006年在内蒙古农牧交错区应用生物制剂防治蝗虫的试验,并提出其控制策略。草地试验区应用蝗虫微孢子虫(Nosema locustae)3×1010个孢子.hm-2剂量防治蝗虫,25 d后虫口校正死亡率可达60%-80%,2005年微孢子虫所引起宽须蚁蝗感染率第10天为14.4%,第45天为59.6%;2006年混合种群的感染率最高为16.7%。应用绿僵菌(Metarhizium anisopliaevar.acridum)3×1012个孢子.hm-2剂量防治蝗虫,20 d后虫口校正死亡率为40%-60%;将微孢子虫1.5×1010个孢子.hm-2剂量和绿僵菌3×1012个孢子.hm-2剂量协调应用治蝗,10 d后可使防效达到80%以上。在农田周遍草地应用卡死克150 mL.hm-2剂量作为保护带来防治蝗虫,其校正死亡率在75%以上,以阻止蝗虫侵入农田危害。由此提出在农田周围草地建立化学农药保护带,防止蝗虫入侵农田危害;草地蝗虫密度不高时单独使用蝗虫微孢子虫和绿僵菌,或协调应用二者长期控制虫口密度的防治策略。     

蝗虫微孢子虫病在草原蝗虫优势种种群及空间的分布

在采用蝗虫微孢子虫Nosema locustae防治过的草场中进行抽样调查,研究了草原蝗虫优势种类、混合种群平均密度与蝗虫微孢子虫疾病分布之关系,以及该疾病的空间分布。在防治后的当年,蝗虫微孢子虫疾病的感染率随着混合种群平均密度及靶标蝗虫亚洲小车蝗Oedaleus asiaticus的感病率的下降而降低。但是,次靶标蝗虫如宽须蚁蝗Myrmeleotettixpalpalis(一种中后期发生的种类)其感病率呈上升趋势,表明该疾病可在不同发生期种类蝗虫之间进行有效地传播。病蝗虫在防治后第7d其空间分布呈随机分布(Poisson),第28d 则是聚集分布,第40d时也呈聚集分布。于1993年、1994年对1988年(样区Ⅱ)、1989 年(样区Ⅲ)采用微孢子虫防治过的草场进行抽样调查。结果表明,在二个样区中,二年混合种群平均虫口密度与混合种群的平均感病率呈正相关(相关系数分别为r=0.289, r=0.479)。蝗虫微孢子虫病在主要优势种,如亚洲小车蝗、宽须蚁蝗、白边痂蝗Bryode maluctuosumluctuosum、皱膝蝗Angaracris /I>spp.、毛足棒角蝗Dasyhippus barbipes均有分布。二个样区中的混合蝗虫种群的平均感病率在1994年显著低于1993年。混合蝗虫种群的种类组成也有所变化,与1993年相比,1994年宽须蚁蝗及白边痂蝗的比例上升较大,而亚洲小车蝗的比例下降。经过5—7年的扩散,蝗虫微孢子虫病至少可扩散距防治区1 000m,其扩散方向可能与风及地势等有关。

准噶尔荒漠早春短命植物的光合特性及生物量分配特点

准噶尔荒漠分布的早春短命植物不仅具有十分独特的生物学特点,而且在荒漠植物群落演替、物种多样性维持及土壤改良与防治水土流失等方面具有重要的生态学价值。该文运用Li-6400开放式气体交换光合作用测定系统,对分布于准噶尔荒漠的16种早春短命植物生长盛期的净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、水分利用效率(WUE)等特征进行了测定,并对其中7种植物与生长相关的生物量分配特征进行了分析。结果表明:1)16种植物的最大P_n、 最大T_r及WUE分别为8.07~35.96 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1、3.16~29.64 mmol H₂O·m^-2·s^-1、0.54~4.26 μmol CO₂·mmol^-1H₂O;种间最大P_n与最大气孔导度(Stomatal conductance, G_s)之间存在正相关关系,其相关系数为0.77(p<0.05),线性回归斜率为26.36 μmol·mmol^-1;从光合速率对胞间CO₂浓度及光量子通量密度的响应曲线来看,这类植物的表观CO₂补偿点均在4~5 Pa之间(28~30 ℃),表观羧化效率为0.64~1.86 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1·Pa^-1,表观量子效率为0.05~0.06。2)从生物量分配来看,所测植物的个体生物量为0.05~0.39 g;单株总叶面积为 3.24~51.40 cm²;单位叶面积干重为0.40~0.77 g·m^-2,根在总生物量中所占比例为5.72%~19.43%,单株叶面积比在2.92~9.00 m²·kg^-1之间。种间根所占生物量的比与对应的WUE之间的比较分析结果表明,二者之间存在显著的正相关关系,其相关系数r为0.93(p<0.01)。这些结果表明,所观测的早春短命植物具有典型的C₃植物特征,相比其它类型的荒漠植物具有较高的单位叶面积P_n、高T_r及低WUE,并且在生长发育过程中表现出很低的根/地上生物量比、较高的叶面积比和单位叶面积干重,说明它们具有相对高的生长速率,这与其生长发育节律相一致,反映了它们与准噶尔荒漠环境相适应的特点。     

安徽虫瘟霉的黍米培养及其对桃蚜的侵染力

安徽虫瘟霉Zoophthora anhuiensis (Li) Humber是较难人工培养的蚜虫专化性病原真菌。将灭菌并适度熟化的黍米Panicum miliaceum L.作为固体基质与挑碎的安徽虫瘟霉平板菌落混合,在20℃和12L∶12D的温光条件下静止固体培养,获得了产孢潜能大、杀蚜活性强的米粒培养物。培养7天的黍米的产孢量达13.0×10⁴个孢子/粒,产孢持续时间长达6天。用此黍米培养物弹射的孢子对桃蚜Myzus persicae (Sulzer) 若蚜进行7.9～134.9个孢子/mm²共9个剂量的孢子浴接种,所获数据很好拟合时间 剂量 死亡率模型。接种后第5～7天各天的LC₅₀依次为59.8, 39.5和33.5个孢子/mm²,LC₉₀依次为354,234和198个孢子/mm²。在57.7～134.9个孢子/mm²的接种剂量范围内,致死中时LT₅₀从5.1天下降到4.3天。由此表明,安徽虫温霉的黍米培养不仅简单易行,而且菌种的产孢和侵染生物学特性在培养物中被充分体现,每颗米粒如同自然罹病而死的蚜尸,值得进一步研究开发和利用。

Voltage-dependent stimulation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump by insulin in rabbit cardiac myocytes

Insulin enhancesNa⁺-K⁺ pump activity in various noncardiactissues. We examined whether insulin exposure in vitro regulates Na⁺-K⁺ pump function in rabbit ventricularmyocytes. Pump current (I_p) was measured using thewhole-cell patch-clamp technique at test potentials(V_ms) from 100 to +60 mV. When theNa⁺ concentration in the patch pipette([Na]_pip) was 10 mM, insulin caused aV_m-dependent increase in I_p.The increase was ~70% when V_m was at nearphysiological diastolic potentials. This effect persisted afterelimination of extracellular voltage-dependent steps and whenK⁺ and K⁺-congeners were excluded from thepatch pipettes. When [Na]_pip was 80 mM, causingnear-maximal pump stimulation, insulin had no effect, suggesting thatit did not cause an increase in membrane pump density. Effects oftyrphostin A25, wortmannin, okadaic acid, or bisindolylmaleimide I inpipette solutions suggested that the insulin-induced increase inI_p involved activation of tyrosine kinase,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and protein phosphatase 1, whereasprotein phosphatase 2A and protein kinase C were not involved.

     

Beta-adrenergic stimulation does not activate Na+/Ca2+ exchange current in guinea pig, mouse, and rat ventricular myocytes

The effect of -adrenergic stimulation on cardiac Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange has been controversial. To clarify the effect, we measured Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange current (I_NCX) in voltage-clamped guinea pig, mouse, and rat ventricular cells. When I_NCX was defined as a 5 mM Ni²⁺-sensitive current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes, 1 µM isoproterenol apparently augmented I_NCX by 32%. However, this increase was probably due to contamination of the cAMP-dependent Cl^– current (CFTR-Cl^– current, I_CFTR-Cl), because Ni²⁺ inhibited the activation of I_CFTR-Cl by 1 µM isoproterenol with a half-maximum concentration of 0.5 mM under conditions where I_NCX was suppressed. Five or ten millimolar Ni²⁺ did not inhibit I_CFTR-Cl activated by 10 µM forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, suggesting that Ni²⁺ acted upstream of adenylate cyclase in the -adrenergic signaling pathway. Furthermore, in a low-extracellular Cl^– bath solution, 1 µM isoproterenol did not significantly alter the amplitude of Ni²⁺-sensitive I_NCX at +50 mV, which is close to the reversal potential of I_CFTR-Cl. No change in I_NCX amplitude was induced by 10 µM forskolin. When I_NCX was activated by extracellular Ca²⁺, it was not significantly affected by 1 µM isoproterenol in guinea pig, mouse, or rat ventricular cells. We concluded that -adrenergic stimulation does not have significant effects on I_NCX in guinea pig, mouse, or rat ventricular myocytes. cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; nickel ion     

Modulation of cardiac Ca2+ channels by isoproterenol studied in transgenic mice with altered SR Ca2+ content

Phospholamban(PLB) ablation is associated with enhanced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)Ca²⁺ uptake and attenuation of thecardiac contractile responses to -adrenergic agonists. In thepresent study, we compared the effects of isoproterenol (Iso) on theCa²⁺ currents(I_Ca) ofventricular myocytes isolated from wild-type (WT) and PLB knockout(PLB-KO) mice. Current density and voltage dependence ofI_Ca were similarbetween WT and PLB-KO cells. However, I_Ca recorded fromPLB-KO myocytes had significantly faster decay kinetics. Iso increasedI_Ca amplitude inboth groups in a dose-dependent manner (50% effective concentration,57.1 nM). Iso did not alter the rate ofI_Ca inactivationin WT cells but significantly prolonged the rate of inactivation inPLB-KO cells. When Ba²⁺ was usedas the charge carrier, Iso slowed the decay of the current in both WTand PLB-KO cells. Depletion of SRCa²⁺ by ryanodine also slowed therate of inactivation ofI_Ca, and subsequent application of Iso further reduced the inactivation rate ofboth groups. These results suggest that enhancedCa²⁺ release from the SR offsetsthe slowing effects of -adrenergic receptor stimulation on the rateof inactivation ofI_Ca.

     

Nitric oxide induces [Ca2+]i oscillations in pituitary GH3 cells: involvement of IDR and ERG K+ currents

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the occurrence of intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) oscillations in pituitary GH₃ cells was evaluated by studying the effect of increasing or decreasing endogenous NO synthesis with L-arginine and nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), respectively. When NO synthesis was blocked with L-NAME (1 mM) [Ca²⁺]_i, oscillations disappeared in 68% of spontaneously active cells, whereas 41% of the quiescent cells showed [Ca²⁺]_i oscillations in response to the NO synthase (NOS) substrate L-arginine (10 mM). This effect was reproduced by the NO donors NOC-18 and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). NOC-18 was ineffective in the presence of the L-type voltage-dependent Ca²⁺ channels (VDCC) blocker nimodipine (1 µM) or in Ca²⁺-free medium. Conversely, its effect was preserved when Ca²⁺ release from intracellular Ca²⁺ stores was inhibited either with the ryanodine-receptor blocker ryanodine (500 µM) or with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor blocker xestospongin C (3 µM). These results suggest that NO induces the appearance of [Ca²⁺]_i oscillations by determining Ca²⁺ influx. Patch-clamp experiments excluded that NO acted directly on VDCC but suggested that NO determined membrane depolarization because of the inhibition of voltage-gated K⁺ channels. NOC-18 and SNAP caused a decrease in the amplitude of slow-inactivating (I_DR) and ether-à-go-go-related gene (ERG) hyperpolarization-evoked, deactivating K⁺ currents. Similar results were obtained when GH₃ cells were treated with L-arginine. The present study suggests that in GH₃ cells, endogenous NO plays a permissive role for the occurrence of spontaneous [Ca²⁺]_i oscillations through an inhibitory effect on I_DR and on I_ERG. voltage-gated potassium channels; ether-à-go-go-related gene potassium channels; slow-inactivating outward currents; fast-inactivating outward currents     

Time-dependent stimulation by aldosterone of blocker-sensitive ENaCs in A6 epithelia

To study and define the early time-dependent response (6 h) ofblocker-sensitive epithelial Na⁺channels (ENaCs) to stimulation ofNa⁺ transport by aldosterone, weused a new modified method of blocker-induced noise analysis todetermine the changes of single-channel current (i_Na) channel open probability(P_o), andchannel density(N_T) undertransient conditions of transport as measured by macroscopic short-circuit currents(I_sc). In threegroups of experiments in which spontaneous baseline rates of transportaveraged 1.06, 5.40, and 15.14 µA/cm², stimulation of transportoccurred due to increase of blocker-sensitive channels.N_T variedlinearly over a 70-fold range of transport (0.5-35µA/cm²). Relatively small andslow time-dependent but aldosterone-independent decreases ofP_o occurredduring control (10-20% over 2 h) and aldosterone experimentalperiods (10-30% over 6 h). When theP_o of control andaldosterone-treated tissues was examined over the 70-fold extendedrange of Na⁺ transport,P_o was observedto vary inversely withI_sc, falling from~0.5 to ~0.15 at the highest rates ofNa⁺ transport or ~25% per3-fold increase of transport. Because decreases ofP_o from anysource cannot explain stimulation of transport by aldosterone, it isconcluded that the early time-dependent stimulation ofNa⁺ transport in A6 epithelia isdue exclusively to increase of apical membraneN_T.

     

ATP-dependent regulation of inwardly rectifying K+ current in bovine retinal pigment epithelial cells

Inwardlyrectifying K⁺ current(I_Kir) infreshly isolated bovine retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells wasstudied in the whole cell recording configuration of the patch-clamptechnique. When cells were dialyzed with pipette solution containing noATP, I_Kir randown completely in <10 min [half time(t_1/2) = 1.9 min]. In contrast, dialysis with 2 mM ATP sustainedI_Kir for 10 min or more. Rundown was also prevented with 4 mM GTP or ADP. When 0.5 mMATP was used,I_Kir ran down by~71%. Mg²⁺ was a criticalcofactor because rundown occurred when the pipette solution contained 4 mM ATP but no Mg²⁺(t_1/2 = 1.8 min).I_Kir also randown when the pipette solution contained 4 mMMg²⁺ + 4 mM5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate(t_1/2 = 2.7 min)or 4 mM adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)(t_1/2 = 1.9 min),nonhydrolyzable and poorly hydrolyzable ATP analogs, respectively. Weconclude that the sustained activity ofI_Kirin bovine RPE requires intracellular MgATP and that the underlyingmechanism may involve ATP hydrolysis.
