Responses by the brown planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens,to conspecific density on resistant and susceptible rice varieties

This study examines the nature of intraspecific interactions among Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) planthoppers feeding on resistant and susceptible rice varieties. Planthopper nymphs produced less honeydew and gained less weight when feeding on rice variety IR62 (resistant) compared to susceptible rice varieties. A series of bioassays was conducted that varied N. lugens nymph densities on IR62 and IR22 (susceptible). Increasing nymph density facilitated feeding by conspecifics; however, intraspecific competition increased mortality of nymphs on IR62 (but rarely on IR22). Furthermore, nymph weights declined with increasing conspecific density on IR22, and the effects were weak on IR62. More female nymphs than males survived on IR62 but this was not affected by density. Nitrogenous fertilizer increased competition among N. lugens on young plants of IR22, but not on IR62. Results indicate that nymphs have a low efficiency in accessing resources when feeding on IR62, even where the plants have received fertilizer. Female‐biased survival and biomass compensation for mortality may promote population recovery after development on the resistant plant and accelerate adaptation to the resistant variety.     

共生菌在褐飞虱致害性变化中的作用

研究了不同虫源和致害性褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens种群体内共生菌数量动态及其对褐飞虱在抗虫品种上的取食选择、生长发育、繁殖以及氨基酸转移酶活性的影响。结果表明,褐飞虱田间种群的致害性与其体内共生菌数量有关。广西南宁种群雌成虫体内的共生菌数量显著地高于浙江杭州和龙游两个虫源的雌成虫体内共生菌数量,而已纯化的3个不同致害性生物型体内的共生菌数量无显著差异。取食抗性品种能显著减少生物型Ⅰ雌成虫体内的共生菌数量。缺乏共生菌时,生物型Ⅰ、Ⅱ若虫对水稻品种TN1和ASD7的选择性增大,而对Mudgo的取食选择性下降。尽管缺共生菌的3个生物型在已适应的和不适应的感虫和抗虫品种上的若虫存活率和雌成虫产卵量均下降,若虫历期明显延长,但在已适应品种上的变化程度明显小于在不适应的抗虫品种上的变化程度。共生菌还明显影响成虫体内丙氨酸氨基转移酶和天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶的活性。这些结果证明体内共生菌的数量和质量在褐飞虱对水稻致害性的变化中发挥了重要作用。     

Aspects of brown planthopper adaptation to resistant rice varieties with the Bph3 gene

Despite over 30 years of deployment, varieties with the Bph3 gene for resistance to the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), are still effective in much of the Philippines. In the present study, we determined the effects of adaptation to one resistant variety, IR62 – assumed to possess the Bph3 gene – on (1) resistance against a series of varieties with similar biotypical responses (presumed to contain the same major resistance genes), and (2) a differential variety with the bph4 gene that occurs at the same chromosome position as Bph3. We also examined the effects of high soil nitrogen on the effectiveness of Bph3. Feeding, planthopper biomass, and development times were reduced in a wild BPH population when reared on IR62 compared with the susceptible standard variety TN1. However, nitrogen application increased the susceptibility of IR62. After 13 generations on IR62, BPH had adapted to the plant’s resistance. Virulence of the adapted BPH against the variety ‘Rathu Heenati’ supports the idea that Bph3 is present in IR62. Across similar IR varieties (IR60, IR66, IR68, IR70, IR72, and IR74), feeding, planthopper biomass, and development rates were generally higher for IR62‐adapted than for non‐adapted BPH; however, contrary to expectations, many of these varieties were already susceptible to wild BPH. Fitness was also higher for IR62‐adapted BPH on the variety ‘Babawee’ indicating a close relation between Bph3 and bph4. The results indicate that the conventional understanding of the genetics behind resistance in IR varieties needs to be readdressed to develop and improve deployment strategies for resistance management.     

Lipid profiles reveal different responses to brown planthopper infestation for pest susceptible and resistant rice plants

Introduction

Brown planthopper (BPH) is the most destructive insect pest for rice, causing major reductions in rice yield and large economic losses. More than 31 BPH-resistance genes have been located, and several of them have been isolated. Nevertheless, the metabolic mechanism related to BPH-resistance genes remain uncharacterized.

Objectives

To elucidate the resistance mechanism of the BPH-resistance gene Bph6 at the metabolic level, a Bph6-transgenic line R6 (BPH-resistant) and the wild-type Nipponbare (BPH-susceptible) were used to investigate their lipid profiles under control and BPH treatments.

Methods

In conjunction with multivariate statistical analysis and quantitative real-time PCR, BPH-induced lipid changes in leaf blade and leaf sheath were investigated by GC–MS-based lipidomics.

Results

Forty-five lipids were identified in leaf sheath extracts. Leaf sheath lipidomics analysis results show that BPH infestation induces significant differences in the lipid profiles of Nipponbare and R6. The levels of hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, linoleic acid, methyl ester, linolenic acid, methyl ester, glycidyl palmitate, eicosanoic acid, methyl ester, docosanoic acid, methyl ester, beta-monolinolein, campesterol, beta-sitosterol, cycloartenol, phytol and phytyl acetate had undergone enormous changes after BPH feeding. These results illustrate that BPH feeding enhances sterol biosynthetic pathway in Nipponbare plants, and strengthens wax biosynthesis and phytol metabolism in R6 plants. The results of quantitative real-time PCR of 5 relevant genes were consistent with the changes in metabolic level. Forty-five lipids were identified in the leaf blade extracts. BPH infestation induces distinct changes in the lipid profiles of the leaf blade samples of Nipponbare and R6. Although the lipid changes in Nipponbare are more drastic, the changes within the two varieties are similar. Lipid profiles in leaf sheath brought out significant differences than in leaf blade within Nipponbare and R6. We propose that Bph6 mainly affects the levels of lipids in leaf sheath, and mediates resistance by deploying metabolic re-programming during BPH feeding.

Conclusion

The results indicate that wax biosynthesis, sterol biosynthetic pathway and phytol metabolism play vital roles in rice response to BPH infestation. This finding demonstrated that the combination of lipidomics and quantitative real-time PCR is an effective approach to elucidating the interactions between brown planthopper and rice mediated by resistance genes.

     

Non-specific resistance in brown planthopper resistant indica rice varieties against Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae)

Mechanisms of host plant resistance against insect pests can be manifold. Resistance screenings generally use single target insect pests, but the resistance thus screened may not always be specific to the target insect species. We conducted a test for non‐specific resistance in indica rice varieties with resistance genes against brown planthopper (BPH), by using the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella. The test system was very simple, and only required the non‐pest moth to be reared on rice flour. We compared the survival rate, developmental period and adult weight of the moth on three rice varieties: ‘Nipponbare’, a BPH‐susceptible japonica variety, and ‘Thai Collection 11’ and ‘Pokkali’, two resistant indica varieties. Our results were straightforward and demonstrate that resistance in the two resistant rice varieties is not BPH specific, because development of the moth was retarded and adult body weight was reduced.     

Identification of antibiosis and tolerance in rice varieties carrying brown planthopper resistance genes

Brown planthopper (BPH) [Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)] is a major pest in rice [Oryza sativa L. (Poaceae)] production. Identification of resistance genes and development of BPH‐resistant varieties is an economical and effective way to control this pest. In this study, BPH honeydew excretion, survival rate, and emergence rate were used as indicators to detect the antibiotic level, whereas the relative growth rates of plant height (R_H) and fresh weight (R_W), and the number of days until yellowing were used to identify the level of tolerance to BPH in rice varieties. Rice varieties Swarnalata and B5, which showed high levels of antibiosis and tolerance to BPH, thus were highly resistant in the seedling bulk test; Mudgo and T12, which showed moderate resistance to the insects, had a high level of tolerance and moderate antibiosis to BPH. Varieties Rathu Heenati, ARC 10550, and Chin Saba were identified to be susceptible to BPH, showing a moderate level of tolerance and no antibiosis. In comparison to the evaluation methods of BPH resistance, the honeydew excretion and survival rate could be used to detect the antibiotic level, and the R_H, R_W, or leaf yellowing days could be employed as indicators to evaluate the rice varieties’ tolerance. Overall, a combined application of these indicators can effectively identify the levels of antibiosis and tolerance to BPH in rice varieties, and BPH‐resistance levels of the varieties were mainly determined by the antibiosis level. The results should help in understanding BPH‐resistance categories of rice varieties and for resistance breeding.     

Quantitative genetic analysis of biotypes of the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens: heritability of virulence to resistant rice varieties

The virulence of Nilaparvata lugens Stål (Homoptera: Delphacidae) to a resistant variety of rice, Oryza sativa L., is suggested to be under polygenic control. To determine whether the virulence of N. lugens is a quantitative character that has continuous distribution or a threshold character that has a few discontinuous phenotypic forms and is determined by some underlying continuous variable, I examined the frequency distribution of honeydew excretion that has been used as a measure of ability of attacking the rice plants, and the relationship between honeydew excretion and the oviposition rate of N. lugens females using a japonica rice line Saikai 190 which has a resistance gene Bph 1. The frequency distribution in honeydew excretion significantly differed from the normal distribution, but two distributions below and above 10 mg honeydew excretion for two days did not significantly deviate from normality, suggesting a bimodal distribution. There were significant differences in the proportion of females ovipositing and the number of eggs deposited between the female groups that excreted 0–10 mg honeydew and more than 20 mg honeydew. Within these female groups, however, the reproductive performances were not different. Thus, virulence of N. lugens can be analyzed as a threshold character that has two distinct phenotypes, virulent and avirulent. I estimated the heritabilities of the virulence of N. lugens by parent-offspring regression using the percentage of virulent females in a full-sib family. The estimates of heritability were 0.41 on Saikai 190 and 0.55 on ASD7, carrying the bph 2 gene. These results show that the N. lugens population has substantial genetic variation in virulence. The regression coefficients on female and male parents were similar, suggesting similar genetic contributions by both parents. When the parental families were examined on Saikai 190 and the progeny on ASD7, the regression coefficient approached zero. There may be a low genetic correlation between virulences to the two varieties.
