本文介绍了中国昆虫学家、杀虫剂毒理学研究者与植物保护专家及害虫防治工作者最近20年来在杀虫剂的毒性,尤其是杀虫剂对靶标害虫及非靶标昆虫的毒性方面的研究进展,并就杀虫剂对害虫的防控效果、杀虫剂对天敌昆虫的影响以及杀虫剂的环境安全性方面的研究内容进行了系统性综述。     

微生物杀虫剂研发现状和产业化发展态势

微生物杀虫剂是指将微生物本身及其代谢产物用于农业害虫防治的一种制剂。具有药效稳定、施用方便、环保等优势,包括病毒杀虫剂、细菌杀虫剂、真菌杀虫剂3种类型。随着全球微生物农药需求的增长,国内外微生物杀虫剂的研发不断深入,用于杀虫剂的病原体种类不断增多,使用范围不断扩大,重要性不断凸显。文章通过调研国内外微生物杀虫剂的研发现状,总结微生物杀虫剂的发展趋势与存在问题,为我国发展微生物杀虫剂提供参考。     

昆虫抗药性产生机制

杀虫剂是害虫防治的有效途径之一,但随着杀虫剂长期和广泛的使用,昆虫种群对各种杀虫剂的敏感性降低,产生了抗药性,如何克服昆虫的抗药性是害虫综合治理的重要问题。近年来,借助基因组测序和遗传操作技术的发展,对昆虫抗药性的研究已经深入到细胞水平和分子水平,取得诸多重要的突破,为害虫抗性的控制奠定了理论基础。本文从常见杀虫剂的历史沿革及作用机理切入,从靶标抗性、代谢抗性和穿透抗性3个方面阐述了杀虫剂抗性产生的机制:杀虫剂作用位点的突变降低了靶标与杀虫剂的亲和力,细胞色素P450酶系和谷胱甘肽转移酶系的激活增加了杀虫剂的降解,表皮结构成分的变化和ABC转运蛋白的增加有效阻挡了杀虫剂的渗入。利用基因操作手段或抑制剂,对上述3种抗性机制的关键步骤进行调控可能成为未来杀虫剂抗性控制的新策略。     

杀虫剂防治三化螟的最佳时间和最适浓度

杀虫剂使用的最佳时间和最适浓度与很多因子有关,包括害虫种群动态、作物对为害的敏感性、作物单产和产品单价、杀虫剂药效降解速率和杀虫剂效率,以及气候条件等。运用边际分析方法,建立了确定杀虫剂使用的最佳时间和最适浓度的系统模型。此系统模型包括种群动态模型、产量损失预测模型、杀虫剂药效降解模型和杀虫剂效率模型。此外还引入了反映水稻对螟害敏感性程度的加权因子。通过求解一个函数的极大值问题,即可得到使得纯收益最大时的杀虫剂的使用时间和浓度。     

杀虫剂应用概况

<正> 杀虫剂在防治农业和卫生害虫方面发挥着重要作用。随着世界农药需求量的增加,杀虫剂的销售量在不断地增加(见表1):从作物来看,果树、蔬菜、棉花的杀虫剂用量较大(见表2);自从拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂问世以来,杀虫剂的类型构成亦发生了变化(见表3)。 世界各大农药(化工)公司和研究机构,都比较重视杀虫剂新品种的开发和研究。1982～1984年,有180个杀虫剂新品种进行了试验。其中,有机磷类和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫剂每年都有1～2个新品种问世,而大量的都是新型化学结构的杀虫剂。 本文就近几年来,新型化学结构杀虫剂的     

颗粒杀虫剂

颗粒杀虫剂是杀虫剂的一种新的加工形式,是由某些有效的杀虫剂如DDT、氯化茚等和某些具有一定细度的颗粒状填充剂混合加工配制而成,其成品就叫做DDT颗粒杀虫剂、氯化茚颗粒杀虫剂或其他。     

昆虫对有机磷杀虫剂的抗性

有机磷杀虫剂在害虫的防治中多年来一直被作为一种有效的化学农药来使用。随着杀虫剂的大量使用,大部分害虫对这些杀虫剂产生了不同程度的抗性,导致杀虫剂剂量不断加大、防治效果降低,同时也造成了严重的环境污染。近年来,对昆虫有机磷杀虫剂抗性机制的研究发现,害虫对有机磷杀虫剂产生抗性的主要原因是由于其作用靶标物乙酰胆碱酯酶(AchE)对杀虫剂敏感性下降、AchE或普通酯酶活性上升等。本文就近年来国内外关于昆虫对有机磷杀虫剂抗性机制的研究进行综述,以期对害虫的抗性监测及抗性治理提供有用的参考。     

可降解新烟碱类杀虫剂微生物及其代谢途径的研究进展

新烟碱类化合物基于烟碱结构改造修饰制备,相较菊酯、含磷类等杀虫剂,因其选择性毒力被认为是一类对人类和生态无害的农药。然而,近年来由于新烟碱类杀虫剂(neonicotinoid insecticides)过度施用,其残余或转化的物质通过在土壤与水体中累积,影响昆虫甚至哺乳动物及其生理与行为,导致了一系列生态环境问题和继发危害。本文聚焦新烟碱类杀虫剂的产业现状,面向生物降解新烟碱类杀虫剂这一迫切需求,围绕新烟碱类杀虫剂的微生物菌株资源,重点阐述微生物降解新烟碱类杀虫剂的代谢机制及其多样性。通过梳理新烟碱类杀虫剂生物降解及其应用转化的关键问题和前沿进展,旨在为借助合成生物学和宏基因组学手段建立或筛选安全可控的新烟碱类杀虫剂的高效转化体系提供参考。     

甜菜夜蛾的抗性及抗性机理研究进展

甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua(Hübner)是世界性农业害虫,近年来在我国由次要害虫上升为主要害虫。甜菜夜蛾对很多种化学杀虫剂和生物杀虫剂产生了抗性。本文分别阐述了甜菜夜蛾对常用杀虫剂如有机磷类、拟除虫菊酯类、氨基甲酸酯类、生长调节类杀虫剂、Bt杀虫剂等的抗性发展现状,并且对抗药性机理进行了总结,提出了抗性治理措施。     

杀虫药剂的神经毒理学研究进展

大多数杀虫药剂都具有较强的神经毒性,它们对神经系统的作用靶标不同。有机磷类杀虫剂不仅抑制乙酰胆碱酯酶活性和乙酰胆碱受体功能,影响乙酰胆碱的释放,而且还具有非胆碱能毒性,有些有机磷杀虫剂还能引发迟发性神经毒性。新烟碱类杀虫剂作为烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体（nAChR）的激动剂,作用于该类受体的α亚基;它对昆虫的毒性比对哺乳动物的毒性大得多,乃是因为它对昆虫和哺乳动物nAChR的作用位点不同。拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂主要作用于神经细胞钠通道,引起持续开放,导致传导阻滞;该类杀虫剂也可抑制钙通道。另外,这类杀虫剂还干扰谷氨酸递质和多巴胺神经元递质的释放。拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂对昆虫的选择毒性很可能是因为昆虫神经元的钠通道结构与哺乳动物的不同。阿维菌素类杀虫剂主要作用于γ-氨基丁酸（GABA）受体,它能促进GABA的释放,增强GABA与GABA受体的结合,使氯离子内流增加,导致突触后膜超级化。由于这类杀虫剂难以穿透脊椎动物的血脑屏障而与中枢神经系统的GABA受体结合,故该类杀虫剂对脊椎动物的毒性远低于对昆虫的毒性。多杀菌素类杀虫剂可与中枢神经系统的nAChR作用,引起Ach长时间释放,此外,这类杀虫剂还可作用于昆虫的GABA受体,改变GABA门控氯通道的功能。     

Life stage toxicity and residual activity of insecticides to codling moth and oriental fruit moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), and oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), are two key pests of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) in North Carolina. Growers extensively relied on organophosphate insecticides, primarily azinphosmethyl, for > 40 yr to manage these pests. Because of organophosphate resistance development and regulatory actions, growers are transitioning to management programs that use new, reduced-risk, and OP-replacement insecticides. This study evaluated the toxicity of a diversity of replacement insecticides to eggs, larvae, and adults, as well as an assessment of their residual activity, to codling moth and oriental fruit moth. Laboratory-susceptible strains of both species were used for all bioassays. Fresh field-harvested apples were used as a media for assessing the ovicidal activity of insecticides. For larval studies, insecticides were topically applied to the surface of lima bean-based diet, onto which neonates were placed. Toxicity was based on two measures of mortality; 5-d mortality and development to adult stage. Ovicidal bioassays showed that oriental fruit moth eggs were generally more tolerant than codling moth eggs to insecticides, with novaluron, acetamiprid, and azinphoshmethyl having the highest levels of toxicity to eggs of both species. In contrast, codling moth larvae generally were more tolerant than oriental fruit moth to most insecticides. Methoxyfenozide and pyriproxyfen were the only insecticides with lower LC50 values against codling moth than oriental fruit moth neonates. Moreover, a number of insecticides, particularly the IGRs methoxyfenozide and novaluron, the anthranilic diamide chlorantriliprole, and the spinosyn spinetoram, provided equal or longer residual activity against codling moth compared with azinphosmethyl in field studies. Results are discussed in relation to their use in devising field use patterns of insecticides and for insecticide resistance monitoring programs.     

土壤农药污染与细菌农药-抗生素交叉抗性研究进展

土壤农药污染和细菌耐药性是环境领域研究的热点问题。近年来,越来越多的研究表明土壤农药污染与细菌农药-抗生素交叉抗性的形成有关。本文依据近年来国内外研究进展,阐述了国内外土壤中农药(杀虫剂、除草剂和杀菌剂)的污染现状,并介绍了细菌对农药的降解及抗性、细菌对抗生素的抗性以及农药-抗生素交叉抗性等问题。最后,对未来有关农药-抗生素交叉抗性的研究重点进行了展望。     

Isolation and characterization of Pseudomonas cedrina infecting Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, is one of the most destructive pests worldwide and its management relies exclusively on frequent application of chemical insecticides. Resistance to common insecticides is now widespread, and novel classes of insecticides are needed. Entomopathogenic bacteria and their related products play an important role in the management of this pest. In the present work, one bacterial strain was separated from infected pupae of P. xylostella collected from field and its pathogenicity was evaluated. On the basis of the 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, BLASTN, and phylogenetic analysis, this bacterial isolate was identified as Pseudomonas cedrina. Oral administration of P. cedrina at levels above 10,000 CFU/ml gave significant mortality to P. xylostella larvae. The pathogenicity was also observed by reduced longevity and fecundity in adult females. However, when live bacterial cells were removed, the cultured broth lost any pathogenicity. In response to the bacterial infection, P. xylostella expressed antimicrobial and stress‐associated genes. A mixture treatment of P. cedrina and Bacillus thuringiensis showed an additive effect on larval mortality of P. xylostella. These results indicated that P. cedrina is an opportunistic entomopathogen without secretion of toxins. Furthermore, the additive effect of P. cedrina and B. thuringiensis provide a new insight to develop new strategy for controlling P. xylostella.

Effects of insecticides on behavior of adult Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae) and transmission of Candidatus Liberibacter psyllaurous

The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae), is a serious pest of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) that can cause yield loss by direct feeding on crop plants and by vectoring a bacterial pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacer psyllaurous. Current pest management practices rely on the use of insecticides to control the potato psyllid to lower disease incidences and increase yields. Although many studies have focused on the mortality that insecticides can cause on potato psyllid populations, little is known regarding the behavioral responses of the potato psyllid to insecticides or whether insecticides can decrease pathogen transmission. Thus, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of insecticides on adult potato psyllid behaviors, the residual effects of insecticides on potato psyllid behaviors over time, and effects of these insecticides on Ca. L. psyllaurous transmission. Insecticides tested included imidacloprid, kaolin particle film, horticultural spray oil, abamectin, and pymetrozine. All insecticides significantly reduced probing durations and increased the amount of time adult psyllids spent off the leaflets, suggesting that these chemicals may be deterrents to feeding as well as repellents. Nonfeeding behaviors such as tasting, resting, and cleaning showed variable relationships with the different insecticide treatments over time. The insecticides imidacloprid and abamectin significantly lowered transmission of Ca. L. psyllaurous compared with untreated controls. The implications of our results for the selection of insecticides useful for an integrated pest management program for potato psyllid control are discussed.     

枇杷瘤蛾室内药效试验研究

枇杷瘤蛾(Melanographia flexilineata Hampson)为枇杷上的重要害虫,为害叶脉、嫩梢的皮部和果皮及全树的叶片,严重影响产量,损失严重。本研究对供试4种药剂——阿维菌素、灭幼脲、杀灭菊酯和敌百虫进行不同浓度的室内药效实验,并进行了统计分析。结果表明,供试4种药剂浓度间不存在显差异,而药剂种类间差异显,其中阿维菌素和灭幼脲致死时间较长,杀灭菊酯和敌百虫致死时间较短。为减缓害虫抗性的产生,建议在枇杷成熟期使用阿维菌素和灭幼脲防治枇杷瘤蛾。     

Biotechnological production of plant-based insecticides

The demand for natural and nonpersistent insecticides is increasing day by day. Plant cell cultures could be an alternative to conventional methods of production of insecticides from field-grown plants. In vitro cultured plant cells produce a wide array of insecticides as a part of their secondary metabolism. Their ability to synthesize key enzymes and the manipulation of these could lead to the enhanced production of many insecticides of industrial importance. The development of a high-yielding hairy root culture system for thiophenes, nicotine, and phytoecdysones is of considerable interest. In this article, the current literature on various factors that influence the growth, production, and secretion of six insecticidal compounds, namely, pyrethrins, azadirachtin, thiophenes, nicotine, rotenoids, and phytoecdysones which have been prospects for the scale-up of cell cultures, genetic engineering to obtain transgenic plants, and metabolically engineered plants for increased production of bio-molecules, has been discussed. Environmental safety clearance and the future prospects of application of biomolecules for plant-derived insecticides are presented.     

Benzylideneacetone and other phenylethylamide bacterial metabolites induce apoptosis to kill insects

Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are entomopathogenic bacteria that can induce immunosuppression against target insects by suppressing eicosanoid biosynthesis, leading to fatal septicemia. These bacteria can synthesize and release secondary metabolites such as benzylideneacetone (BZA) and other phenylethylamide compounds that can inhibit phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) and shut down eicosanoid biosynthesis. However, insecticidal activities of these bacterial metabolites remain unclear. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess cytotoxicities of BZA and seven other bacterial metabolites to insect cells. These eight bacterial metabolites exhibited significant cytotoxicities against an insect cell line Sf9 at micromolar range. Especially, BZA and cPY were highly potent at low micromolar range. When these eight bacterial metabolites were injected to hemocoels of Spodoptera exigua larvae, they significantly decreased total count of hemocytes. In Sf9 cell line and hemocytes, these bacterial metabolites induced cell membrane blebbings, apoptotic vesicles, and genomic DNA fragmentation. Terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase nick end translation assay showed that these bacterial metabolites caused significant DNA breakages in cells in a dose-dependent manner. However, a pan caspase inhibitor treatment significantly rescued the cell death induced by these bacterial metabolites. Cytotoxicities of these bacterial metabolites were highly correlated with their insecticidal activities. These results indicate that the insecticidal activities of the bacterial metabolites may be induced by their apoptotic activities against hemocytes and other insect cells. Taken together, these results suggest that phenylethylamide compounds might have potential as novel insecticides.
