不同温度下稻螟赤眼蜂在黏虫卵上的种群生命表

稻螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead是水稻二化螟Chilo suppressalis(Walker)的优势卵寄生蜂。本文构建了以黏虫卵为中间寄主,稻螟赤眼蜂在20℃、25℃、30℃、33℃四个温度条件下的生命表。研究结果表明利用黏虫卵繁育稻螟赤眼蜂时,不同温度下其生长发育和繁殖均存在显著差异,雌蜂平均寿命随温度的升高呈下降趋势,在20℃条件下,雌蜂平均寿命为1.44 d,显著长于其它温度,当温度为30~33℃时,雌蜂寿命最短,平均为0.59 d。在温度为20℃和25℃时,稻螟赤眼蜂的羽化率显著高于温度较高的30℃和33℃,平均为94.73%。在25℃条件下,黏虫卵繁育的稻螟赤眼蜂的净生殖力(R 0)最大,达到31.9176,单雌寄生卵数最多,为32.88个,表现出最强的繁殖能力,而在30℃条件下,瞬时增长率r m和周限增长率λ达到最大值。综合生命表参数、单雌寄生黏虫卵数、寿命、羽化率等指标,利用黏虫卵工厂化繁殖稻螟赤眼蜂的最佳温度为25℃。本研究为利用黏虫卵大量繁殖稻螟赤眼蜂提供了有价值的参考。     

Field evaluation of nucleopolyhedrosis virus and some biorational insecticides against Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera)

American bolloworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) is considered as a major pest of various crops all over the world. It is mainly controlled by indiscriminate use of synthetic insecticides in the world due to which this pest developed resistance to most of the available insecticides. Therefore, in the current study, the efficacy of virulent strain of HaNPV (0.5 × 10⁹ PIB/ml) alone and in combination with recommended doses of spintoram (20 g/100 L of water) and emamectin benzoate (200 ml/100 L of water) was tested in field. The combination of HaNPV with spintoram and emamectin benzoate 100% reduced the larval population as compared to emamectin benzoate and HaNPV alone. This suggested that the combination of spintoram and emamectin benzoate with HaNPV could be used in field to manage the infestation of H. armigera.     

A flagellate protozoan from Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Abstract

A trypanosomatid flagellate, Herpetomonas sp., is recorded from an adult Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Promastigote, paramastigote, and opisthomastigote stages measured 3.4–12 × 1.3–4.3 μm, Giemsastained, with flagella measuring 13.8–18.7 μm. A few amastigotes (3.9–8.3 × 3.7–6.7 μm) were also observed. Fourteen larvae fed with a suspension of flagellates were found later to be infected with the protozoan. No flagellate infections were found in the hymenopteran parasitoid, Apanteles ruficus (Haliday), or the hyperparasitoid, Trichomalopsis sp.     

Identification of Volicitin-related Compounds from the Regurgitant of Lepidopteran Caterpillars

Volicitin-related compounds were found in the oral secretion of the three noctuid species, Helicoverpa armigera, Mythimna separata and Spodoptera litura, and one sphingid species, Agrius convolvuli. Volicitin [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine], N-(17-hydroxy-linoleoyl)-glutamine, N-linolenoylglutamine and N-linoleoylglutamine were identified in the secretion from the noctuid larvae. In secretions from the sphingid larvae, N-linolenoylglutamine and N-linoleoylglutamine were the main components. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the amounts of the N-acylamino acid conjugates in the secretions from the three noctuid species. These results suggest that the proportion of volicitin-related compounds in the regurgitant was species-specific.

Vertical transmission of TnSNPV,TnCPV, AcMNPV,and possibly recombinant NPV in Trichoplusia ni

Four viruses were tested for vertical transmission in Trichoplusia ni: T. ni nucleopolyhedrovirus (TnSNPV), T. ni cypovirus (TnCPV), Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), and AcMNPV engineered to express a scorpion toxin (AcMNPV.AaIT). Fifth instars were exposed to each virus, the survivors were reared and mated, and second-generation (F(1)) insects were examined for infection. TnSNPV was transmitted to offspring at a prevalence rate of 15.4%, TnCPV at 10.2%, and AcMNPV at 10.1%. Only one of 2484 F(1) insects was infected with AcMNPV.AaIT; this experiment was repeated, and none of 4774 insects was infected. Thus, vertical transmission is unlikely to contribute to AcMNPV.AaIT contacting non-target organisms after its field release. There was evidence that TnCPV and possibly TnSNPV were activated to overt infections by ingestion of a different virus. TnCPV, but not the NPVs, routinely infected 0.3-1.7% of non-treated insects, probably indicating that it is vertically transmitted at enzootic levels.     

马桑内酯对粘虫体内蛋白质和消化酶的影响

用马桑内酯分别对粘虫采用注射和饲喂处理,48 h后测定粘虫不同部位消化酶活性及蛋白质含量,以探讨马桑有效成分的作用及其杀虫机理.结果显示:(1)注射羟基马桑毒素处理后粘虫组织中蛋白质含量(与丙酮处理比较)均降低,皮组织降低幅度最大为29.47%,饲喂处理后各组织中蛋白质含量均升高,其中皮组织的升高幅度最大为56.87%;但该毒素对粘虫体内蛋白酶和羧酸酯酶的影响不明显.(2)注射与饲喂马桑亭、马桑宁,粘虫体内蛋白质含量均明显比对照处理升高,蛋白酶活性增强,其中饲喂马桑亭处理的粘虫血淋巴中蛋白质含量升高最大为511.49%,蛋白酶活性增强幅度最大为4 640.26%.马桑亭和马桑宁均可使粘虫组织中羧酸酯酶活性降低,其中饲喂马桑宁处理降低幅度最大为82.94%.结果表明:羟基马桑毒素对粘虫体内蛋白质代谢的影响与用药方式有关,马桑亭和马桑宁处理后的粘虫体内蛋白质含量增高、蛋白酶活性增强及酯酶活性降低均达到显著水平.     

苦杏仁精油的熏蒸杀虫活性研究

采用三角瓶密闭熏蒸法测定了苦杏仁精油对家蝇、白纹伊蚊、粘虫以及玉米象的熏蒸杀虫活性,结果显示:苦杏仁精油对各试虫均有较强的熏蒸杀虫活性,其中含HCN的精油对家蝇、白纹伊蚊、粘虫以及玉米象的LC50分别为3.09、0.63、4.63、12.03μL/L;除去HCN的精油对家蝇、白纹伊蚊、粘虫以及玉米象的LC50分别为3.53、0.52、4.08、23.46μL/L;熏蒸的时间效应试验结果表明,含有HCN的苦杏仁精油和不含HCN的苦杏仁精油对供试试虫的熏杀速度均较快,其中白纹伊蚊的反应最快,其次为家蝇、粘虫、玉米象.除玉米象外苦杏仁精油中所含的微量HCN对试虫的熏蒸活性影响不大,且2种处理的精油对同种试虫的致死中时差别范围不超过10 min.实验结果表明,苦杏仁精油可作为新型的杀虫活性物质,为苦杏仁精油作为植物源杀虫剂提供了依据.     

粘虫核糖体蛋白S7cDNA的克隆和表达分析

运用RT—PCR和RACE技术克隆了粘虫Mythimnaseparata（Walker）核糖体蛋白s7基因（RPS7）的全长eDNA序列（GenBank登录号：JN582331）,并对其进行生物信息学分析。结果表明,粘虫RPS7全长eDNA序列为762bp,包括5’非编码区32bp和3’非编码区67bp。其开放阅读框（573bp）编码190氨基酸肽链,具有核糖蛋白S7e蛋白家族典型特征。该肽链理论分子量为21．924ku,等电点为9．82,富含4种类型的特定功能位点。该蛋白序列与其他动物RPS蛋白序列具有96．8％-98．2％高度同源性。应用荧光实时定量技术建立了粘虫脑部胚后发育RPS7表达模式。RPS7表达量随胚后发育脑部重建呈现出动态变化,这一结果显示RPS7是在转录水平上呈现发育性调节。     

Cry1Ac杀虫蛋白对粘虫中肠几种酶活性的影响

为阐明Bt杀虫蛋白对次要靶标害虫粘虫Mythimna separata (Walker) （鳞翅目： 夜蛾科）的生理学影响, 本研究分析比较了粘虫高龄幼虫在室内取食低剂量Cry1Ac杀虫蛋白6, 12, 24和36 h后, 其体内主要的解毒酶（酯酶和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶）、 保护酶（超氧化物歧化酶、 过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶）和中肠蛋白酶（总蛋白酶、 强碱性类胰蛋白酶、 弱碱性类胰蛋白酶和类胰凝乳蛋白酶）等活性的变化。结果表明, 取食Cry1Ac杀虫蛋白后, 粘虫幼虫体内相关酶活力呈现不同的变化趋势： （1）酯酶、 谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶、 过氧化物酶(POD)、 类胰蛋白酶和类胰凝乳蛋白酶活力较对照显著降低（P<0.05）; （2）超氧化物歧化酶(SOD) 活力较对照显著升高（P<0.05）; （3）过氧化氢酶(CAT) 活力于6, 12和24 h显著低于对照（P<0.05）, 36 h时显著高于对照（P<0.05）。结果提示Cry1Ac杀虫蛋白主要通过抑制粘虫幼虫中肠解毒酶和蛋白酶的活性, 扰乱SOD, CAT 和POD 3种保护酶的动态平衡而干扰幼虫的正常生理代谢, 从而起到毒杀粘虫的作用。
