淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生对甜菜夜蛾幼虫血淋巴总糖、蛋白质及虫体脂质含量的影响

为探讨淡足侧沟茧蜂Microplitis pallidipes Szepligeti调控寄主的生理机制,测定了淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生后,甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua(Hübner)幼虫血淋巴总糖、蛋白质及虫体脂类含量的变化。研究结果表明,寄生后连续5 d的观察时间内,甜菜夜蛾幼虫血淋巴总糖含量从寄生后第1天开始就高于未寄生寄主幼虫,且在寄生后第2至5天达到显著水平;除寄生后第3天外,被寄生寄主幼虫血淋巴总蛋白质含量始终低于未寄生幼虫,且在寄生后第1、4、5天达到显著水平;甜菜夜蛾被寄生后,虫体脂质含量始终高于未寄生幼虫,且从寄生后第2天开始达到显著水平。本研究揭示,淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生刺激了寄主甜菜夜蛾幼虫血淋巴总糖合成,但抑制了其蛋白质合成,同时也刺激了甜菜夜蛾虫体脂质合成。     

温度和光周期对淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生和雌性比率的影响

运用2因素2次回归正交旋转组合设计,研究了温度和光照周期对淡足侧沟茧蜂Microplitis pallidipes Szepligeti寄生率和性比的影响,并建立了回归模型,旨在为优化寄生蜂雌性比率、提高寄生率提供资料。主效分析表明,温度、光周期与寄生率呈抛物线关系,编码值为零水平取值时,寄生率达到最大;温度对雌性比率的影响大于光周期。交互作用表明,温度和光周期对斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura Fabricius幼虫被寄生率有明显的负交互效应,而对侧沟茧蜂雌性比率的交互作用不明显。通过对模型进行模拟,温度为28℃、光周期L∶D=12∶12时,寄生率达到最大(71.89%);温度为33.7℃、光周期为L∶D=12∶12时,雌性比率达最高值(0.57)。     

淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生对草地贪夜蛾幼虫血淋巴黑化反应及酚氧化酶的影响

【目的】明确淡足侧沟茧蜂Microplitis pallidipes寄生对草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda血淋巴黑化率、酚氧化酶原（Prophenoloxidase,PPO）基因表达量和酚氧化酶（Phenoloxidase,PO）活性的影响,为更有效的利用淡足侧沟茧蜂防控草地贪夜蛾提供理论依据。【方法】通过室内寄生实验确定草地贪夜蛾被淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生的最佳龄期;通过RT-qPCR分析草地贪夜蛾两个PPO基因（SfPPO1和SfPPO2）的时空表达谱;通过薄膜法统计草地贪夜蛾被寄生后的血淋巴黑化率;采用吸光光度法测定草地贪夜蛾被寄生后的血淋巴PO活性;采用RT-qPCR测定草地贪夜蛾被寄生后血淋巴SfPPO1和SfPPO2的相对基因表达量。【结果】草地贪夜蛾被淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生的最佳龄期为3龄幼虫,SfPPO1和SfPPO2均在卵块和4龄幼虫中基因表达量较高,且主要在幼虫血淋巴中表达。草地贪夜蛾被寄生后12、24、48和72 h的血淋巴黑化率显著低于未寄生组（P<0.05）,SfPPO1和SfPPO2的相对基因表达量和PO活性也低于未寄生组。相关关系分析表明,SfPPO1的相对基因表达量与SfPPO2的表达量呈现线性关系（R2=0.9124）,PO活性与两个PPO基因相对表达量之间、黑化率与PO活性和PPO基因相对表达量之间均呈现正相关。【结论】淡足侧沟茧蜂寄生会抑制草地贪夜蛾血淋巴的黑化率,下调血淋巴中酚氧化酶原基因的表达量和PO活性,且PO活性、PPO基因相对表达量及血淋巴黑化率3个指标之中,两两之间均呈现正相关性。     

斜纹夜蛾取食四种植物对马尼拉侧沟茧蜂发育和繁殖的影响

研究斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura幼虫取食4种植物后对马尼拉侧沟茧蜂Microplitis manilae生长发育和繁殖的影响,为利用该蜂开展斜纹夜蛾的生物防治提供理论依据。在人工气候箱内(26℃±1℃、RH 65%±5%、L∶D=12∶12)研究了斜纹夜蛾取食豇豆Vigna unguiculata、芋艿Colocasia esculenta、烟草Nicotiana tabacum和芥蓝Brassica alboglabra 4种植物对马尼拉侧沟茧蜂的生长发育和繁殖的影响。结果表明:马尼拉侧沟茧蜂寄生取食豇豆的夜蛾幼虫,其幼虫期最短,化蛹率、羽化率和累计存活率最高,性比最低,寿命最长;寄生取食烟草的夜蛾幼虫,其幼虫期最长,化蛹率、羽化率和累计存活率最低,蛹重最轻,蛹期最长;从取食芥蓝的斜纹夜蛾幼虫体内育出的雌蜂产卵量最高,但成蜂寿命最短;斜纹夜蛾取食4种植物对雌蜂个体大小无显著影响,但取食烟草的夜蛾幼虫体内育出的雄蜂个体最小。马尼拉侧沟茧蜂寄生取食不同植物的斜纹夜蛾幼虫,马尼拉侧沟茧蜂的发育和繁殖存在显著差异。     

几种因子对马尼拉侧沟茧蜂寄生效能的影响

马尼拉侧沟茧蜂Microplitis manilae是斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura的一种重要幼虫寄生蜂。本文以斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫为寄主,在26±1℃、RH 65%±5%、L：D=12:12的人工气候箱内,研究生殖方式、雌蜂日龄、寄生时间段、雄蜂出现与否以及雄蜂密度等因子对其寄生效能的影响。结果表明：马尼拉侧沟茧蜂可营产雄孤雌生殖和两性生殖两种生殖方式,两种方式在亲代寄生率、子代羽化率和发育历期均无显著差异。随着雌蜂日龄的增加,其寄生率和子代性比显著降低,但子代发育历期随雌蜂日龄的增加而延长。马尼拉侧沟茧蜂在12:00-18:00时间段的寄生率、子代羽化率和性比最高,子代发育历期最短。当寄生蜂密度一定时,子代性比随着寄主密度的增加而显著增加;当寄主密度一定时,子代性比随着寄生蜂密度的增加而显著下降;雄蜂在场时,子代性比显著高于无雄蜂在场时。子代性比随着亲代雄蜂密度的增加而显著降低,但雄蜂密度对亲代寄生率,子代羽化率、发育历期无显著影响。

斑痣悬茧蜂寄生对甜菜夜蛾幼虫取食和食物利用的影响

为研究甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua幼虫被斑痣悬茧蜂Meteorus pulchricornis寄生后的取食以及食物利用情况,在室内采用重量法测定了甜菜夜蛾4龄幼虫被寄生后取食量、体重增加量、营养指标的变化。结果表明：被寄生甜菜夜蛾幼虫的取食量、生长率和食物利用效率等明显受到抑制,幼虫被寄生后第3-6 d 取食量显著小于未被寄生幼虫,寄生后第4 d 的幼虫取食量只有正常幼虫的29.89%,第5 d只有48.69%。幼虫在寄生后的第3-5 d体重增加量显著小于未被寄生幼虫,分别为正常幼虫的21.51%,38.87%和14.42%,相对生长率则也显著低于后者。被寄生甜菜夜蛾幼虫的营养利用表现也明显不同于未被寄生幼虫,反映生长和代谢效率的食物利用率（ECI）和食物转化率（ECD）均显著降低,而反映吸收效率的近似消化率（AD）则提高。虽然在寄生后第4 d出现了相反的现象,其原因可能在于第4 d取食量明显减少,而体重仍在增加。本研究表明,斑痣悬茧蜂寄生明显抑制寄主甜菜夜蛾幼虫的取食、食物利用效率和生长。     

一种中红侧沟茧蜂畸形细胞分泌的寄生特异蛋白

SDS-PAGE电泳表明,黏虫Pseudaletia separa-ta、棉铃虫 Helicoverpa armigera、小地老虎 Agrotisypsilon的幼虫受中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator寄生后,血淋巴中都出现一个98.6 kDa的寄生特异蛋白(p98.6)。畸形细胞(teratocytes)的体外培养发现,p98.6是由来自中红侧沟茧蜂胚胎浆膜层的畸形细胞分泌的。这一结果将为研究寄生蜂的寄生生理和畸形细胞在协调寄生蜂和寄主关系中的作用打下基础。     

在受重金属Zn2+胁迫的斜纹夜蛾幼虫寄主上双斑侧沟茧蜂的生存与发育

通过在植食性昆虫斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura Fabricius幼虫人工饲料中添加不同浓度的Zn²⁺,测定了连续3代取食含不同Zn²⁺浓度饲料幼虫的血淋巴中Zn²⁺含量,并研究了被Zn²⁺胁迫的斜纹夜蛾幼虫对寄生性天敌双斑侧沟茧蜂Microplitis bicoloratus Chen生存与发育的影响。结果表明,斜纹夜蛾幼虫血淋巴中Zn²⁺含量随饲料中Zn²⁺浓度和幼虫取食世代数的增加而增加;Zn²⁺胁迫斜纹夜蛾幼虫对双斑侧沟茧蜂的寄生率、从寄生到结茧的时间、蛹期长短、成虫羽化率和成虫寿命等都有不同程度的影响,其中以第2代的寄生率和第1代的羽化率受影响最大,均随着Zn²⁺浓度的增大而降低。因此,寄主饲料中高浓度的Zn²⁺能通过食物链影响双斑侧沟茧蜂的生存和发育。     

Effect of nucleopolyhedrovirus infection of Spodoptera litura larvae on host discrimination by Microplitis pallidipes

The behaviour and oviposition of solitary endoparasitoid Microplitis pallidipes Szepligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were monitored to investigate the ability of the parasitoids to distinguish between nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV)-infected and noninfected Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae. The results indicated that the parasitoid searching time and the time until the first parasitoid attack on infected larvae were greater than those recorded on noninfected larvae; the number of infected larvae attacked by parasitoids, the percent of first attacks and parasitism rate in infected larvae were lower than those on noninfected larvae; and these differences were all significant 3 to 5 days postexposure of the larvae to a dose of 1.6 × 10⁸ occlusion bodies (OB)· ml^?1 and significant 4 and 5 days postexposure of the larvae to a dose of 1.6 × 10⁷ OB·ml^?1. The lowest dosage (1.6 × 10⁶ OB·ml^?1) had no significant effect on the above index values. In a field cage experiment, we found that the percentage of infected larvae parasitized by M. pallidipes gradually decreased as the time after NPV inoculation (1.6 × 10⁸ OB·ml^?1) increased, and that M. pallidipes significantly preferred to oviposit in healthy larvae from day 3 to day 5 after virus inoculation. Our research concluded that this parasitoid's ability to discriminate between healthy and infected hosts increased as virus concentration increased and as the time between exposure of hosts to virus and subsequent exposure to parasitoids increased.     

Nucleopolyhedrovirus infection and/or parasitism by Microplitis pallidipes affected haemolymph titre of 20‐hydroxyecdysone in Spodoptera exigua larvae

This study examined the physiological effects of joint and separate parasitism and infection by the endoparasitoid Microplitis pallidipes Szépligeti and the nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV), respectively, on haemolymph 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20‐E) titre in Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) larvae. The results indicated that in parasitized larvae, virus‐infected larvae (5.7 × 10³ and 5.7 × 10⁵ OB/ml) and parasitized larvae infected with virus at 5.7 × 10⁵ OB/ml, compared to healthy larvae, the 20‐E all declined during the first 3 days but began to increase from day 4 after treatment, while in jointly parasitized and infected larvae (5.7 × 10³ OB/ml), the 20‐E declined during the first 4 days but began to increase on day 5 after treatment. Meanwhile, compared to parasitized larvae, the 20‐E declined during the first 4 days but significantly increased on day 5 in jointly parasitized and infected larvae (5.7 × 10³ OB/ml), while significantly increased during the first 2 days but began to decrease from day 3 after treatment in jointly parasitized and infected larvae (5.7 × 10⁵ OB/ml). Finally, in larvae that were both parasitized and virus infected (5.7 × 10³ OB/ml), compared to just virus‐infected larvae (5.7 × 10³ OB/ml), the 20‐E was lower on days 3 and 4 but higher on other days after treatment; in larvae that were both parasitized and virus infected (5.7 × 10⁵ OB/ml), compared to just virus‐infected larvae (5.7 × 10⁵ OB/ml), the 20‐E was significantly higher at the first 2 days but lower from day 3 after treatment. Our results revealed that 2nd instar larval M. pallidipes in host bodies may release 20‐E into the haemolymph of S. exigua larvae and that NPV infection may stimulate S. exigua to release more 20‐E during its third to fourth instar larval moulting. We found that this stimulatory effect was greater with higher virus concentrations.     

The effect of nucleopolyhedrovirus infection and/or parasitism by Microplitis pallidipes on hemolymph proteins, sugars, and lipids in Spodoptera exigua larvae

We determined the physiological effects of joint and separate nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) infection and parasitism by the endoparasitoid Microplitis pallidipes Szepligeti on biochemical events in the noctuid Spodoptera exigua (Hübner). The results indicated that in parasitized larvae, compared to healthy larvae, total protein concentration in host hemolymph began to decline and total sugar concentration significantly increased by the first day, while lipid content in the host body significantly increased by the second day after parasitization. Meanwhile, in jointly infected and parasitized hosts, compared to parasitized larvae, total protein concentration was consistently higher, total sugar concentration was consistently lower, and lipid content became higher by the second day after treatment. In virus-infected larvae, compared to healthy larvae, total protein concentration sharply declined during the first two days but increased by the third, while total sugar concentration increased on the second and third days after virus infection but decreased at other observation times, and lipid content began to increase by the second day after virus infection. Finally, in larvae that were both parasitized and virus-infected, compared to just virus-infected larvae, total protein concentration increased during the first two days but decreased by the third, total sugar concentration increased only on the first and fourth days, and lipid content decreased significantly on the first day but began to increase by the second day after treatment. These findings led us to conclude that parasitization inhibited protein mobilization but stimulated sugar mobilization in host hemolymph, and promoted lipid mobilization in the host body, while Spodoptera exigua NPV infection stimulated protein mobilization induced by parasitization but inhibited sugar mobilization induced by parasitization.

Inhibitory effects of tebufenozide on dopa decarboxylase and tyrosine hydroxylase in 5th instar larvae of Spodoptera exigua (Hiibner) ( Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

虫酰肼模拟昆虫蜕皮激素的作用干扰新表皮的形成.为了探讨虫酰肼对昆虫新表皮形成的影响是否与抑制表皮形成相关酶的活性有关,本研究应用高效液相色谱-荧光检测法(HPLC-RP),测定了甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua5龄幼虫用虫酰肼处理不同时间(24,48和72 h)后多巴脱羧酶和酪氨酸羟化酶的活性.结果表明:用LCu( 28.41 μmol/L)和LC33 (85.23 μmol/L)两个亚致死剂量的虫酰肼处理5龄幼虫后,多巴脱羧酶和酪氨酸羟化酶的活性均受到明显抑制,高浓度的抑制作用大于低浓度的抑制作用.随着处理时间的延长,同一剂量的抑制作用逐渐增强.进一步测定虫酰肼处理24,48和72 h后5龄幼虫血淋巴、脂肪体、中肠、表皮和头部的多巴脱羧酶和酪氨酸羟化酶的活性,可看出虫酰肼对幼虫不同组织的多巴脱羧酶和酪氨酸羟化酶的活性也具有相似的抑制作用.结果提示,虫酰肼对甜菜夜蛾幼虫多巴脱羧酶和酪氨酸羟化酶活性具有明显抑制作用,幼虫新表皮形成受阻可能与虫酰肼抑制多巴脱羧酶和酪氨酸羟化酶的活性有关.     

Development of Microplitis bicoloratus on Spodoptera litura and implications for biological control

Microplitis bicoloratus Chen (Hymenoptera:Braconidae:Microgastrinae), a new species of Microplitis Förster from China, is a solitary endoparasitoid of the larvae of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). This parasitoid is the first to be successfully reared and evaluated in the laboratory as a potential agent for the biological control of S. litura in China. Oviposition, immature development, and the effects of parasitism on the development of S. litura were studied. In long-term oviposition trials, females laid eggs on S. litura larvae for up to 10 days; oviposition was heavily skewed toward the first few days, with approximately one third of the eggs laid on day 1 and over 50% laid by day 3. This rapid oviposition rate increases the potential for biological suppression of host populations because the likelihood of mortality for the parasites from exposure to detrimental environmental factors or generalist predators increases with time. Immature development of the parasitoid in its host only required 7 days: eggs hatched within 24 h, the first instar larva required 2 days, the second instar larva needed 3 days, and the third instar larvae exited the host and pupated in 1 day, at 27±1°C, 60–80% relative humidity and a 12:12-h (long day) photoperiod. The development of the parasitized hosts was disrupted. When the parasitoid larvae finished development, the body weights of host larvae were significantly reduced regardless of which host instar was parasitized. Our results suggest that M. bicoloratus has considerable potential as a biological control agent for S. litura.     

The impact of co-infection by a nucleopolyhedrovirus and the endoparasitoid Microplitis pallidipes on the total hemocyte count and composition in larval beet armyworm,Spodoptera exigua

The physiological effects of nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) infection and parasitism by Microplitis pallidipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on the hemocytes of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae were examined. We found that compared to healthy (control) larvae, the total hemocyte count (THC) and granulocyte count in parasitized larvae increased 1 day after parasitization and then decreased, while the plasmatocyte count was not significantly affected for the first 5 days but was significantly enhanced on day 6 after parasitization. In parasitized + infected larvae, both the THC and granulocyte counts began be lower from day 1 compared to parasitized larvae, while the plasmatocyte count was generally lower than in parasitized larvae. Compared to the control, THC, and granulocyte counts of virus-infected larvae were higher 1 day after infection. Compared to that in virus-infected larvae, THC and granulocyte counts in parasitized + infected larvae began to decrease from day 1 while the plasmatocyte count generally decreased. We concluded that the host immune response of cell communities to parasitization by M. pallidipes was elicited during the development of the parasitoid egg, but that immune response was inhibited during larval development of parasitoids in the host body. Meanwhile, we found that NPV infection impeded the regulatory effect of M. pallidipes on host cellular immune responses, and parasitization by M. pallidipes similarly inhibited the host cellular immune response caused by NPV infection.
