植物挥发性信息化学物质在昆虫寄主选择行为中的作用

Progress in studies on behavioural effect of semiochemicals of host plant to insects

植物信息化学物质在植食性昆虫的寄主定向、产卵、聚集、传粉等行为中发挥着重要作用,对其进行深入研究,不仅有助于阐明植食性昆虫的寄主选择机理,也可为提出新的害虫防治策略提供理论依据。本文概述了近年来昆虫寄主选择定向中起关键作用的植物挥发性信息化学物质的种类、基本特性和作用方式,并就植物挥发性信息化合物应用前景和目前存在的主要问题进行了讨论。

Plant semiochemicals play an important role in the host-location, oviposition, aggregation, pollination process. These researches are not only helpful to understand selective mechanism of insects to host, but also provide new strategy for control pests. In this paper, species, primary characteristics, action modes of plant volatile are reviewed. Existential problems are discussed and it is suggested that the future development for research directions in this field.
