Genotypic and environmentally determined differences inSalix viminalis L. suitability forDasineura marginemtorquens (Bremi) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) growth and survival were investigated in laboratory and field experiments. Earlier studies
have documented high neonate larval mortality on certainS. viminalis genotypes. Here we present results from laboratory experiments which show no difference in larval establishment behaviour
on resistant and susceptible willow genotypes. These data indicate that larvae are not able to detect the plant characteristic
responsible for resistance. In a field study insect performance was measured on willow shoots of dissmilar size. Adult body
size was positively correlated to willow shoot length. In turn, body size was positively correlated to potential fecundity.
These results are discussed in relation to observed high densities ofD. marginemtorquens in vigorously growing willows cultivated for biomass production. 相似文献

A short history of contact betweenDasineura marginemtorquens and resistant genotypes ofSalix viminalis has previously been suggested as an explanation for a poor correspondence between female oviposition preference and larval
performance on certain host types. The discovery of resistant wild willows instigated a quest for an alternative hypothesis.
This study presents data from laboratory and field experiments that were designed to detect variability in host preferences
of individual members of the midge population. Field tests showed that the oviposition site choices of females followed the
same random-natured pattern as choices of females in laboratory situations. Ovipositing females did not distinguish between
willow genotypes with very high or very low larval mortality. No differences in post-alighting behavior of midges on the two
willow types were discovered. Observations revealed that females usually remained and oviposited on the first plant with which
they came into contact, regardless of genotype. 相似文献

Abstract 1 Planting of species mixtures is a strategy for the non‐chemical management of willow beetles in short‐rotation coppice willows. However, the relatively susceptible Salix viminalis genotypes and their hybrids dominate current high‐yielding willows. Interactions between Phratora vulgatissima and different genotypes of S. viminalis were examined under laboratory conditions to determine if these genotypes exhibit genetic differences in susceptibility to willow beetle damage. 2 Seven S. viminalis genotypes and four hybrids were tested for the feeding preference of adult P. vulgatissima, larval performance and within‐season plant response to manual defoliation (50% and 75%). 3 The feeding preference of adult beetles, the growth rate of larvae, and the weight at 33 days of larvae and pupae differed significantly between genotypes. Genotypes also differed significantly in their height and weight responses to mechanical defoliation. Two genotypes were taller, with longer internodes, after defoliation than were undamaged plants. Two hybrids and their S. viminalis parent showed no significant reduction in final dry weight between 0% and 50% defoliation treatments. 4 Susceptibility of genotypes to adult feeding was not correlated with their tolerance to defoliation in terms of weight or height responses; however, larval growth rate on genotypes was negatively correlated both with final height and number of leaves after 75% defoliation and with the susceptibility of genotype to adult feeding. 5 Salix viminalis showed genetic differences for all parameters tested. This suggests that the planting of a mixture of these genotypes would contain genetic differences with respect to host susceptibility to P. vulgatissima. Some parameters showed similarities between a hybrid and its parent, whereas others showed differences between siblings. This offers potential for effective breeding of desirable traits. 相似文献

Hypersensitivity responses (HR) play a major role in plant resistance to pathogens. It is often claimed that HR is also important in plant resistance to insects, although there is little unambiguous documentation. Large genotypic variation in resistance against the gall midge Dasineura marginemtorquens is found in Salix viminalis. Variation in larval performance and induced responses within a full-sib S. viminalis family is reported here; 36 sibling plants were completely resistant (larvae died within 48 h after egg hatch, no gall induction), 11 plants were totally susceptible, 25 plants were variable (living and dead larvae present on the same plant). Resistance was associated with HR, but to different degrees; 21 totally resistant genotypes showed typical HR symptoms (many distinct necrotic spots) whereas the remaining 15 genotypes showed no, or very few, such symptoms. Hydrogen peroxide, used as a marker for HR, was induced in genotypes expressing HR symptoms but not in resistant genotypes without symptoms, or in susceptible genotypes. These data suggest that production of hydrogen peroxide, and accompanying cell death, cannot explain larval mortality in the symptomless reaction. Another, as yet unknown, mechanism of resistance may be present. If so, then it is possible that this unknown mechanism also contributes to resistance in plants displaying HR. The apparent complexity observed in this interaction, with both visible and invisible plant responses associated with resistance against an adapted insect species, may have implications for the study of resistance factors in other plant-insect interactions. 相似文献

In the present study we assessed the extent to which oviposition preferences and larval survival rates of the gall midge Dasineura ingeris Sylvén & Lövgren (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) can explain variation in its use of Salix viminalis phenotypes as hosts. Furthermore, based on oviposition preferences and juvenile survival rates we estimated the host potential of various Salix species and species hybrids. Egg distribution patterns explained 67% of the intraspecific variation in damage to S. viminalis shoots in the field. Juvenile survival, on the other hand, was not related to field damage or egg distribution patterns among the S. viminalis clones studied. Clones of complete or partial S. viminalis origin ranked highest in suitability for D. ingeris survival, and four out of these six clones also received the highest egg rankings. Species belonging to the subgenus Salix were not oviposited on at all, whereas others belonging to the same subgenus as S. viminalis, i.e. Vetrix, were intermediate in terms of oviposition rates. Although there was a significant correlation between D. ingeris egg distributions and larval survival rates on the clones in the Salix species/hybrid set, mismatches were evident. 相似文献

Growth and defence are plant traits that determine attack success by sessile herbivorous insects. Models of plant resistance suggest induced resistance to be an especially important mechanism in growth-dominated plant species. Little is known, however, about the effects of absence of induced responses as an alternative resistance mechanism. Large genetically based intraspecific variation in resistance (neonate larval mortality) occurs in Salix viminalis against the gall midge Dasineura marginemtorquens. In certain resistant genotypes, larval mortality is associated with formation of necrotic lesions and biochemical changes commonly found in hypersensitive response (HR). More detailed studies, however, have shown that resistance can occur without HR symptoms. By means of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis, this study tested whether (1) resistance is caused by the HR or (2) by the failure of the midge to initiate a gall (non-responsiveness). One QTL explained 68 and 18 % of the variation in resistance in the experimental population during 2?years of investigation. Co-location of QTLs for resistance and HR was found in only one of the years, i.e. when HR was suppressed. The data suggest that the mechanism of resistance involves non-responsiveness, implying that the insect starves to death due to lack of resources. Such symptomless defence may be more important than previously thought because it is difficult to observe in nature. 相似文献

The phenolic glycosides salicin and salicortin were found to influence larval growth and development rates and adult feeding preference of Phratora vulgatissima in laboratory feeding studies. Salicortin was more toxic to larvae than salicin, and none of the third instar larvae fed on Salix viminalis leaves amended with 1.52% (fresh mass) salicortin pupated. Condensed tannins (proanthocyanadins) did not affect larval performance. It was concluded that Salix burjatica resistance to willow beetle is due to the high levels of salicortin which occur in leaves of this species. 相似文献

Abstract.
- 1 Substantial intraspecific variation exists in Salix viminalis resistance to the gall midge Dasineura marginemtorquens. Earlier work has found this variation to have a large genetic component. Willow clones are stable in their resistances between midge generations and different nutrient levels in both field and laboratory culture.
- 2 This study reports the results of laboratory experiments on female oviposition choice and larval survival on potted plants from clones that are very different in resistance as determined in field studies.
- 3 In choice experiments using pairs of plants, the average female midge did not prefer susceptible willow clones over resistant ones for oviposition. In about one third of the replicates, midges actually laid more eggs on the resistant clone. Further work is necessary to examine the nature of variation among midges in discrimination of these plant types.
- 4 Resistance is manifested as great differences in larval survival. Six days after oviposition survival was 92% on susceptible plants but only 6% on resistant ones. Galls developed on all of the susceptible plants, while in 73% of the resistant plants galls were not even initiated.
- 5 The plant traits causing resistance are enigmatic. Larval behaviour suggests that resistant plants interfere with feeding behaviour. On resistant plants, most larvae wander for more than 24 h without initiating any galls before dying. On susceptible plants many first instar larvae begin feeding and initiate galls within this period.

Willow genotype, but not drought treatment, affects foliar phenolic concentrations and leaf-beetle resistance 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In a greenhouse experiment we examined the effect of willow genotype and irrigation regime (moderate drought and well‐watered) on plant growth parameters, foliar nitrogen, and phenolic concentrations, as well as on the preference and performance of the blue leaf beetle, Phratora vulgatissima (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The 10 vegetatively propagated willow genotypes in the experiments were F2 full‐sibling hybrids, originated from a cross between Salix viminalis (L.) (Salicaceae) (high in condensed tannins) and Salix dasyclados (L.) (Salicaceae) (rich in phenolic glycosides). Insect bioassays were conducted on detached leaves in Petri dishes as well as with free‐living insects on intact potted plants. The 10‐week long irrigation treatments caused statistically significant phenotypic differences in the potted willow saplings. Total biomass was somewhat higher in the well‐watered treatment. The root to total biomass ratio was higher in the drought‐treatment plants. There was significant genotypic variation in foliar nitrogen concentrations, and they were higher in the drought‐treatment plants. There was also a strong genotypic variation in each of the phenolic substances analyzed. Condensed tannins, which accounted for the greatest proportion of total phenolic mass, were higher in the well‐watered treatment. There was, however, no difference in levels of the other phenolics (salicylates, cinnamic acid, flavonoids, and chlorogenic acid) between irrigation treatments. The sum of these phenolics was higher in the well‐watered treatment. There was a strong variation in P. vulgatissima larval development on different willow genotypes, and larval performance was negatively correlated with levels of salicylates and cinnamic acid. There was, however, no effect of irrigation treatment on larval performance. Phratora vulgatissima preferred to feed on well‐watered plants, and we found a preference for oviposition there, but neither feeding nor oviposition site preference was affected by willow genotype. Adult feeding and oviposition preferences were not correlated with larval performance. 相似文献

Abstract 1 Willows are frequently attacked and defoliated by adult leaf beetles (Phratora vulgatissima L.) early in the season and the plants are then attacked again when new larvae emerge. The native willow Salix cinerea has previously been shown to respond to adult grazing by producing new leaves with an increased trichome density. Subsequent larval feeding was reduced on new leaves. This type of induced plant response may reduce insect damage and could potentially be utilized for plant protection in agricultural systems. 2 Here, we investigated if the willow species most commonly used for biomass production in short rotation coppice, Salix viminalis, also responds to adult beetle grazing by increasing trichome density. Larval performance and feeding behaviour on plants previously exposed to adult beetles was compared with that on undefoliated control plants in a greenhouse. 3 We found an overall decrease in trichome density within all the plants (i.e. trichome density was lower on new leaves compared to that for older basal leaves on S. viminalis). However, leaves of beetle defoliated plants had a higher trichome density compared to control plants. Larval growth and feeding was not affected by this difference between treatments. Larvae appeared to remove trichomes when feeding on S. viminalis, a behaviour that might explain the lack of difference between treatments. 相似文献

Field experiments were conducted in 1989 and 1990 to evaluate the timing of the initial spray application of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrianis, relative to egg development in the field, for control of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) in potatoes. Effective potato beetle control was achieved with B. thuringiensis if the initial spray was applied during the period beginning when an average of 1-30% of marked egg masses had hatched, extending to 4 days after 30% egg hatch, of the initial flush of eggs. Significantly greater defoliation, numbers of third and fourth instar CPB and lower yields occurred in plots when the initial B. thuringiensis application was delayed until 6 days after 30% egg hatch, compared with plots treated at 30% egg hatch. In 1990, no improvement in CPB control was gained by application of the initial B. thuringiensis spray at first observation of CPB egg deposition or at first egg hatch, compared with application at 30% egg hatch. Recommendations for proper timing of B. thuringiensis sprays for effective CPB management are presented. 相似文献

The effect of simulated beetle damage (0%, 25%, 50% and 75% mechanical defoliation) on 12 willow genotypes, grown in short‐rotation coppice, was studied in a modified criss‐cross experimental design. The design enabled the above‐ground effects of monoculture and mixed planting to be assessed. Repeated measurements were modelled to produce derived variables in terms of time or, more appropriately, in terms of accumulated day length (i.e. ‘developmental time’) units. These derived variables were then analysed using the REsidual Maximum Likelihood (REML) method implemented in GenStat? (2001) . No significant competition effect between the genotypes due to planting regime was detected. Genotypes Salix viminalis × Salix schwerinii‘Beagle’ and S. viminalis × S. schwerinii‘Torhild’ were found to have the greatest rate of increase in leaves regardless of defoliation and also the greatest height prior to defoliation. Genotype Salix dasyclados‘Loden’ showed the highest rate of growth under the stress of defoliation. When assessing height at the end of the growing season, S. viminalis × S. schwerinii‘Olof’ was the highest genotype for 25% and 75% levels of defoliation, but genotypes Salix aurita × Salix cinerea‘Delamere’, Loden and S. viminalis × Salix burjatica‘Ashton Parfitt’ appeared to be most tolerant by having consecutively lower base day lengths (i.e. increasing the accumulation of developmental units and the length of the growing season) for increasing defoliation. Shorter genotypes tended to be more tolerant, but of the higher genotypes reaching a control height of greater than 3 m by the end of the growing season, S. viminalis × S. schwerinii‘Tora’ and Beagle performed best to 50% defoliation. 相似文献

Slow larval growth on a suboptimal willow results in high predation mortality in the leaf beetle Galerucella lineola 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The slow growth/high mortality hypothesis predicts that herbivorous insects feeding on suboptimal host plants are subjected to higher predation mortality owing to the longer time spent in the vulnerable juvenile stages compared with conspecifics feeding on optimal plants. We tested this hypothesis for the willow-feeding leaf beetle Galerucella lineola raised on one suitable (Salix viminalis) and one unsuitable (S. dasyclados) willow species as well as on plants from an interspecific cross between the two species. Cohorts of larvae raised on caged plants (protected from enemies) and uncaged plants (exposed to enemies) were monitored daily throughout larval development in two consecutive years. Larvae raised on S. viminalis developed faster, grew larger and survived better than those raised on S. dasyclados. The suitability of the hybrid plants was intermediate to that of their parents. Our results strongly support the slow growth/high mortality hypothesis. In both years, total predation during the larval period was higher on S. dasyclados than on S. viminalis. Furthermore, the daily predation rate (i.e. the proportion of larvae preyed upon per day) was higher on S. dasyclados than on S. viminalis. When hybrid plants were included in the analysis total predation was positively correlated with both larval development time and daily predation rate. We suggest that high predation on beetles on low-quality plants is the combined result of their longer development time and elevated daily predation rate. The results are discussed in relation to the evolution of host plant selection and the paradox of sublethal plant defenses. 相似文献

The hypersensitive response is associated with host and nonhost resistance to Phytophthora infestans
The interaction between Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary and Solanum was examined cytologically using a diverse set of wild Solanum species and potato (S. tuberosum L.) cultivars with various levels of resistance to late blight. In wild Solanum species, in potato cultivars carrying known resistance (R) genes and in nonhosts the major defense reaction appeared to be the hypersensitive response (HR). In fully resistant Solanum species and nonhosts, the HR was fast and occurred within 22 h. This resulted in the death of one to three cells. In partially
resistant clones, the HR was induced between 16 and 46 h, and resulted in HR lesions consisting of five or more dead cells,
from which hyphae were occasionally able to escape to establish a biotrophic interaction. These results demonstrate the quantitative
nature of the resistance to P. infestans. The effectiveness of the HR in restricting growth of the pathogen differed considerably between clones and correlated with
resistance levels. Other responses associated with the defense reaction were deposition of callose and extracellular globules
containing phenolic compounds. These globules were deposited near cells showing the HR, and may function in cell wall strengthening.

The blue willow beetle, Phratora vulgatissima, is considered to be the most damaging herbivorous pest in Salix short-rotation coppices throughout Europe. The braconid parasitoid Perilitus brevicollis is an important natural enemy of Phratora. As several different Salix species are used in coppices, I investigated the bottom-up (tritrophic) effects of Salix on the parasitoid. Three host plants were studied: the introduced fast-growing S. viminalis, which is highly susceptible to the beetle; S. dasyclados, which is introduced and moderately-resistant to the beetle; and the native slow-growing Salix cinerea, which is not currently used in coppices. The identity of the host-plant species had significant effects on parasitoid larval development time; parasitoids developed rapidly on the susceptible S. viminalis and slowly on the moderately resistant S. dasyclados. Increased development time resulted in reduced adult longevity. Host-plant species identity also affected larval survival; 57%, 64%, and 49% of the parasitoids successfully completed larval development in beetles fed S. viminalis, S. cinerea, and S. dasyclados, respectively. Parasitoid development was also correlated with the body size of their beetle host, but this effect was independent of the identity of the host-plant species. The results of this study suggest that the parasitoid has higher survival and growth rates when it parasitizes beetles feeding on the common coppice species S. viminalis, but the performance of the parasite is reduced when the beetle feeds on the moderately-resistant S. dasyclados. Conversely, the omnivorous biocontrol agents sometimes used in these systems appear to perform better on S. dasyclados compared to S. viminalis. The results of this study suggest that Perilitus parasitoids and omnivorous beetle predators may provide complementary protection to Salix and therefore be useful in coppice management. 相似文献

Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major pest of maize and sorghum in many countries of tropical Africa. Hitherto, research
on this important pest has been hampered by the occurrence of a six-month long diapause in the last larval stage and the lack
of an artificial diet for rearing the insect in the laboratory. Incorporating 4 to 8-week-old sorghum powder in a nutritionally
adequate diet and rearing larvae individually in vials at ambient laboratory conditions (25–30°C, 50–80% r.h., and L12: D12)
have made it possible to rear 15 successive non-diapausing generations ofB. fusca capable of producing between 35 to 40 healthy pupae/litre of diet and upto 70% pupation without loss of vigour or reproductive
capacity. Five to six generations were completed per year and the overall mean developmental period (egg-egg) was 68 days
(egg 6, larval 45, pre-pupal 1, pupal 14 and pre-oviposition 2 days). Larval period lasted 70 days in the first generation
compared to 32.3 days in the fifteenth generation. Average fecundity increased from 158.0 to 394.6 eggs per female with a
concomitant increase of egg hatch from 44.8 to 79.6% in the first and fifteenth generation, respectively. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid (AA) induces hypersensitive response (HR) on coleoptile/root regions of two-day-old pearl millet seedlings. The response is comparable to the HR induced by the downy mildew pathogen, Sclerospora graminicola. A time gap in the appearance of cell necrosis among genotypes of pearl millet was related to the degree of resistance to downy mildew. Based on the time required for the development of necrotic spots induced by AA, the pearl millet genotypes were categorised as highly resistant/resistant (HR in 3–6 h), susceptible (HR in 7–12 h) and highly susceptible (HR in 13 h and above). The percentage disease incidence in each genotype was compared with the time required for the development of AA-induced HR. The appearance of hypersensitive cell necrosis was rapid in genotypes having high resistance to downy mildew and was slow in genotypes with high susceptibility. This simple method of screening various pearl millet genotypes in the absence of the pathogen aids in identifying the downy mildew resistant/susceptible host cultivars without the risk of introducing the virulent race of the pathogen. 相似文献
