二斑叶螨对不同甜瓜品种的取食和产卵选择性

二斑叶螨Tetranychus urticae Koch是世界性的重大农业害螨,为明确其对不同甜瓜品种的取食和产卵选择性,采用离体叶碟法研究了二斑叶螨在7种不同甜瓜品种上的选择性及其产卵量,并探究了其在活体植株上的种群增长动态。结果表明,离体叶碟上,二斑叶螨对不同甜瓜品种的取食和产卵选择存在明显差异。选择2 h时二斑叶螨在IVF29品种上的成螨数量最低,而在IVF168上成螨数量最高,选择率为28.73%;选择12 h时,二斑叶螨成螨量及产卵量在IVF58和IVF118品种上较低,而在羊角蜜和IVF168品种上表现较高,24 h时选择趋势一致。活体植株上的种群动态结果表明,调查时间段内二斑叶螨种群数量持续升高,第20天时羊角蜜、IVF58和IVF118种群数量(低于400头/株)显著低于IVF117和IVF168的螨量(高于660头/株)。对测试不同时间段内各个参数进行综合比较和分析,二斑叶螨对甜瓜IVF168品种的选择性强、适合度高,而对IVF58和IVF118品种的选择性较差,表明IVF58和IVF118可用于甜瓜生产中的备选品种及高抗螨性甜瓜新品种的选育。     

朱砂叶螨的交配行为

先羽化的雄螨有主动帮助雌螨蜕皮的行为,待雌螨蜕出蛹蜕即与其交配。交配时雄体在下方,锥形腹端翻转向上与雌体交接。初羽化雌螨交配时间多在2分钟以上,而羽化日久的雌螨,交配时间明显缩短。雌雄螨一生均多次交配。交配能刺激雌螨产卵,并使雌性比增加。

北京地区朱砂叶螨在蔬菜集约化栽培下的种群动态

为了明确集约化栽培管理模式对蔬菜上朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus(Boisduval)的种群数量及动态的影响,2008年在中国农科院蔬菜花卉所塑料棚和露地春、秋茬5种蔬菜上,调查了该螨的种群动态。结果表明,6月中旬春棚的朱砂叶螨种群数量达到高峰期,6月下旬后则明显下降;露地春茬菜豆、茄子、甜椒和黄瓜于6月上旬始见叶螨发生,有螨株率比单株螨量增长迅速,番茄上未发现叶螨。塑料棚和露地秋茬菜豆、茄子和黄瓜上朱砂叶螨发生数量低于13.3头/株,番茄、甜椒寄主上均未发现叶螨为害。分析认为,集约化栽培措施是制约朱砂叶螨种群发生数量的关键因素,降雨和高湿等不良的气象条件也有重要影响。     

Feeding of the carmine spider mite on seven host plant species

Fecundity, survival and feeding of the bean-adapted carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval), were compared on seven host plants (bean, rose, sweet potato, hibiscus, castor bean, cotton and Algerian ivy). Fecundity, feeding and efficiency of converting ingested food to eggs were consistent only on the original, best (bean) and worst (Algerian ivy) hosts. It is suggested that each of these fitness traits may be differently affected by the host plant.

Alimentation de tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) sur sept plantes

Résumé La fécondité, la survie et l'alimentation des femelles de l'araignée rouge, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) sont comparées sur sept plantes-hôtes. Le haricot, étant l'hôte habituel de cet acarien, est uniformément le meilleur. La rose est le meilleur hôte du reste de plantes comparées, et le lierre est le plus mauvais. La longueur de vie dépend de la durée de l'oviposition, cependant les acariens se nourrissant d'Hibiscus, vivent presque aussi longtemps que ceux qui se nourrissent de haricots, mais leur progéniture est réduite de plus de la moitié. Le rapport entre les excréments et les oeufs déposés est utilisé pour évaluer l'efficacité de la conversion des aliments en oeufs. Les acariens se nourrissant de coton, utilisent avec plus d'efficacité les constitutants que ceux qui se nourrissent de patates, d'Hibiscus et de ricin. Il est suggéré que les plantes-hôtes influencent différemment la fécondité, la survie et l'alimentation, aussi bien que la conversion de la nourriture en oeufs.

     

Molecular characterization of two novel esterase genes from carmine spider mite,Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Acarina: Tetranychidae)

Abstract Two novel esterase complementary DNAs were identified and cloned from the insecticide-susceptible strain of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) (Acarina: Tetranychidae), which were designated as TCE1 and TCE2, respectively. The cDNA of TCE1 gene contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1701 bp encoding 567 amino acids, and a predicted molecular weight of 62.75 kDa, the cDNA of TCE2 contained an ORF of 1680 bp encoding 560 amino acids, and a predicted molecular weight of 63.14 kDa. TCE1 and TCE2 were submitted to GenBank, accession number EU130461 and EU130462. The well-conserved sequence motif, GXSXG, used as a signature pattern in the esterase family are present in both TCE1 and TCE2 (GQSAG in TCE1, whereas GESAG in TCE2), indicating that these two genes are predicted to be esterases. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence with the published mite esterase sequence coming from Boophilus microplus showed that TCE1 shares 33.98% identity and TCE2 shares 33.46% identity. TCE1 and TCE2 share 46.4% identity. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that expression level of the TCE2 gene was relatively higher than that of the TCE1 in all instars examined except the protonymph, and the expression level of these two esterase genes in adults of T. cinnabarinus was significantly higher than that in any other instars, respectively. T. cinnabarinus is an important agricultural mite pest and esterases are important in the metabolisms of insects and mites; the genomic information obtained in this study will contribute to esterase molecular biological study on mite pest species.     

Effects of simulated acid rain on the physiology of carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduvals) (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Abstract:  The physiological effect of simulated acid rain sprayed on carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduvals) and host plant, were measured in a series of laboratory trials. We examined potential changes in three kinds of protective enzymes [peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)] and three hydrolases [acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and carboxylesterase (CarE)] in response to changes in pH values of simulated acid rain at different time of exposure. POD, SOD and CAT activities increased significantly with the increase in the acidity of the acid rain, reaching the highest levels at pH 4.0 or 3.0, and then declined. Changes in ACP activity were similar to those observed in the protective enzymes. The increasing extent of the activities of these four enzymes after 30 and 45 days treatment became smaller than that after 15 days treatment . ALP activities decreased as pH value declined. There were no significant changes in CarE activities after 15 and 45 days, but that in pH 4.0 and 3.0 decreased after 30 days. The enhanced anti-oxidation enzyme levels (POD, SOD and CAT) and ACP activities in pH 4.0 and 3.0 reduced the effects of these toxic products on mites, resulting in the strengthening of the defensive power, and increase in survival and reproductive power of the mites, thus leading to an increase in the density of mites on host plant. From these results, we inferred that POD, SOD, CAT and ACP might be relevant to population changes of mites under acid rain pressure.     

Distribution of the endosymbiotic bacterium Cardinium in Chinese populations of the carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Abstract:  ' Candidatus Cardinium hertigii ( Cardinium )' from the Bacteroidetes group is a symbiont that has recently received attention as a reproductive manipulator of its arthropod hosts. Though the spatial distribution of symbionts depends heavily on that of their hosts, evidence has shown that dispersal limitations also have effect on some micro-organisms. In order to estimate the distribution of Cardinium in Chinese populations of the carmine spider mite, twenty seven geographical populations of Tetranychus cinnabarinus were collected and screened, using Cardinium -specific primers for the 16S ribosomal DNA. Six geographical populations collected between 30° and 36°N tested positive for the presence of Cardinium , whereas it could not be detected in populations collected between 19°–29°N and 37°–46°N, suggesting that the symbiont is not evenly distributed, comparing with a wider distribution of Wolbachia previously reported in the same populations. In addition, the infection rates of Cardinium seem to increase from the south to the north of China. All the six Cardinium -infected populations were found to be doubly infected with Wolbachia . Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rDNA gene sequence of Cardinium shows a close relationship between Cardinium in Chinese carmine spider mite and symbionts found in other species in the Tetranychidae.     

The potential of Lagenaria rootstock to confer resistance to the carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Acari: Tetranychidae) in Cucurbitaceae

Antibiosis and resistance of six Cucurbita and two Lagenaria accessions to the carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval, were evaluated in the laboratory. Significant differences among accessions were observed three days after the inoculation of detached leaf discs. The Lagenaria accessions, Slawi and Sus, proved to be the most resistant to mites, with average populations of mite eggs, 87 and 95%, respectively less than that of the susceptible C. pepo accession, Orangetti. The Cucurbita accessions, Tace, Brava, Tetsukabuto, Phoenix and TZ-148 had mite egg totals 4, 9, 13, 26 and 40%, respectively, less than those of accession Orangetti. The Sus accession of Lagenaria was resistant to T. cinnabarinus from the four-leaf stage until fruit set in laboratory and field tests. Grafting the susceptible Brava onto Sus rootstock increased the resistance of the scion to the same level as that of non-grafted Sus. Grafting the susceptible Cucumis melo Noy Yizre'el on resistant or susceptible rootstocks of Cucurbita and Lagenaria accessions did not affect its susceptibility to T. cinnabarinus. The results indicate that resistance to T. cinnabarinus can be transferred by grafting from Lagenaria stocks to Cucurbita scions but not in the opposite direction.

将继代饲养在菜豆上的朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus(Boisduval)分别转移到黄瓜、甘蓝和茄子上饲养3代后,测定不同寄主植物对叶螨的药剂敏感性及其解毒酶系活性的诱导作用。结果表明,从菜豆上转养到黄瓜、甘蓝和茄子上后,后3个寄主上叶螨种群对阿维菌素的敏感度均有所上升,对联苯菊酯的敏感度有升有降,甘蓝、茄子上的叶螨种群LC50值分别是菜豆种群的0.27倍和0.44倍。各寄主上饲养的朱砂叶螨的解毒酶活性也发生了不同程度的变异,黄瓜种群上MFO、CarE活性均显著高于其它3种寄主,菜豆种群的GST活性显著高于转养的3种寄主,而甘蓝种群的AchE活性是菜豆种群的3.37倍。研究结果表明不同寄主植物短期饲养可改变朱砂叶螨的药剂敏感性及其解毒酶活性,这种改变随寄主不同而异。     

Difference in farnesol content in strawberry varieties and their susceptibility to the carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisd.) (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Numbers of the carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus and concentration of the sesquiterpene alcohol farnesol were assayed for four commercial varieties of strawberry. The most resistant variety. Tioga, had the lowest farnesol content, whereas the most susceptible variety, Fresno, had the highest. The other two varieties: Aliso and Sequoia were intermediate in regard to mite infestation as well as farnesol content.

Les deux autres variétés, Aliso et Sequoia, étaient intermédiaires quant à leur teneur en farnesol et à leur degré d'infestation.

     

Trade-offs in performance on different plants may not restrict the host plant range of the phytophagous mite, Tetranychus urticae

We examined sib-mated lines of the phytophagous mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, for trade-offs in performance on different plants. We found no significant trade-offs among 10 potential host plants examined. Trade-offs in performance were not detected in most cases, even when the variations in general performance (mean performance on all potential host plants) among the sib-mated lines were statistically adjusted, denying the possibility that this may be due to the variations in general performance among the lines. No evidence for trade-offs was obtained in an artificial selection experiment; on all tested plants, a line adapted to one marginal host plant exhibited higher performance than the control line. However, the general performance seemed to be negatively correlated with other adaptive traits of the mite, such as competition ability of adult males for their mates and overcrowding response of adult females. Such correlations may contribute to the maintenance of genetic variation in the general performance of T. urticae.     

Demography of the twospotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae Koch

Summary A simple life table model was constructed for Tetranychus urticae in which daily survivorship of eggs and motil stages, fecundity, and development time was altered to assess the impact of each parameter on the intrinsic rate of increase. r. Interpretation of the trade-offs focused on management considerations.A second aspect of the study concerned age and stage structure in mite populations including the time path of convergence to a stable age distribution and the effect of changes in birth and death rates on the age profile. The stable stage distributions of 7 tetranychid mite species were computed using 25 separate life tables. In spite of the wide range of r-values induced by different experimental conditions, all of the stage distributions were quite similar averaging roughly 66% eggs, 26% immatures, and 8% adults. Several population studies were cited which reported stage distributions of growing mite populations. The empirical evidence suggested that natural mite populations are often quite near this stable distribution.A practical problem involving the extent to which hormoligosis (insecticide stimulation) affects mite population growth rate was addressed using the life table model and laboratory data from controlled studies. The findings suggested that mite populations treated with insecticide may attain a 1.4- to a 4.2-fold difference in population size relative to an untreated population after 2 generations and over a 1,300-fold potential difference after 10 generations.
