东亚小花蝽(Orius sauteri)成虫对入侵害虫西花蓟马(Frankliniella occidentalis)成虫的捕食作用

为探明东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马的控制效能,开展了东亚小花蝽成虫对西花蓟马成虫的捕食功能反应与寻找效应研究。试验结果表明,在供试温度下,其捕食功能反应符合HollingⅡ型方程。在相同温度下,东亚小花蝽成虫的捕食量随着猎物密度的增加而增大,搜寻效应随着猎物密度的增加而降低。在18～26℃,随着温度的升高,东亚小花蝽成虫对西花蓟马成虫的捕食量增加,而在26～34℃则有相反的趋势。在相同猎物密度条件下,随着东亚小花蝽成虫密度的增大,其平均捕食量逐渐减少,捕食作用率E也相应地降低,捕食作用率E与东亚小花蝽成虫密度P的关系为E=0.5224P-0.7148,分摊竞争强度I与东亚小花蝽成虫密度P的关系为I=0.9689logP+0.0763。

西花蓟马(Frankliniella occidentalis)rDNA ITS2和COⅠ基因5’末端序列的克隆与比较分析

利用PCR技术克隆西花蓟马(Frankliniella occidentalis)的rDNAITS2和COⅠ基因5末端的部分序列,结合GenBank中相应序列对两者的突变类型、核苷酸多态性、单倍型多态性、种内平均遗传距离以及系统进化等进行比较分析.结果表明,COⅠ基因较rDNA ITS2更适合于F.occidentalis的种内遗传分析;F.occidentalis可能是由两个(或多个)株系或隐存种组成的复合体;入侵我国的F.occidentalis以温室系(greenhouse strain)为主体,也存在一定数量的羽扇豆系(lupin strain).据此,推测F.occidentalis最先是被传播至云南,再从云南扩散至北京、哈尔滨等地.本研究结果对了解我国F.occidentalis的遗传多样性、株系组成以及入侵机制具有一定意义.

The mRNA Expression Profiles of Five Heat Shock Protein Genes from Frankliniella occidentalis at Different Stages and Their Responses to Temperatures and Insecticides

The westem flower thrips, Frankliniella occidental＆ （Pergande） is a highly invasive pest that is able to exploit many crops across a wide range of environmental conditions. Five full-length cDNAs of heat shock protein （HSP） genes （Fo-HSP90, Fo-HSP70, Fo-HSP60, Fo-HSP40 and Fo-HSP28.9） were cloned from F. occidentalis, and their expression profiles were investigated under conditions of thermal stress and insecticide exposure, and at different stages during development, using real-time quantitative PCR. All five gene sequences showed high similarity to homologs in other species, indicating the conserved fimction of this gene family. HSP60 represents an informative phylogenetic marker at the ordinal taxonomic level within Insecta, but HSP90, which has two homologous copies in Hymenoptera, was not informative. The expression of Fo-HSPs under thermal stress suggests that Fo-HSP90, Fo-HSP70, and Fo-HSP28.9 are inducible by both cold and heat stress, Fo-HSP40 is only heat-inducible, and Fo-HSP60 is thermally insensitive. There were two patterns of cold induction of Fo-HSPs： one is from 0 to 4℃ and the other is around -8℃. All five Fo-HSPs genes were induced by exposure to sublethal concentrations of the insecticide avermectin. The expression of the five Fo-HSPs during different developmental stages suggests that they all play a role in development of F. occidentalis.

Field resistance to spinosad in western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis(Thysanoptera:Thripidae)

The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is one of the most destructive sucking pests of vegetables, fruits and ornamental crops in China. Spinosad is one of the most commonly used insecticides to manage thrips. To assess the incidence of spinosad resistance in F. occidentalis field populations in eastern China, survival rates for 24 different populations were compared with those of a susceptible laboratory strain. All populations showed significantly higher resistance to spinosad compared with the control as determined by comparing median lethal concentrations. Two populations from Shouguang and Liaocheng in Shandong Province were classified as having moderate and high levels of resistance to spinosad with a mean resistance ratio of 17.0 and 89.2, respectively. Our research indicates a widespread reduction in spinosad efficacy for controlling F. occidentalis field populations, and that resistance management strategies should be implemented as soon as practicable, to reduce the potential of progressive resistance development and loss of efficacy.

Systematic Analysis of Gene Expression in Western Flower Thrip( Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande ) before and after Infection with Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus(INSV)

Impatiens necrotic spot virus( INSV) is an important plant virus identified in recent years. Western flower thrip( Frankliniella occidentalis) has been confirmed to be the most efficient vector for INSV. In the present study,Illumina's second-generation sequencing technique was used to determine the variation in gene expression at the transcriptome level in western flower thrip before and after infection with INSV. By aligning 168 188 unigenes of western flower thrip to the NCBI protein database,47 558 unigenes were annotated,accounting for 28. 27% of the total. Species classification revealed that 58. 7% of the annotated unigenes of western flower thrip did not match any other species,and 15. 4% of had a match in Zootermopsis navadensis,12. 4% in Mus musculus,7. 3% in Mustela putorius,3. 4% in Theileria parva,and 2. 7% in Tribolium castaneum. By analyzing DEGs between INSV-free and INSV-carrying western flower thrips,we found that 11 genes were upregulated,and 9 genes were downregulated in western flower thrip after INSV infection. In addition,cell cycle and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in western flower thrip were significantly infected by INSV infection.

Effects of Plant Secondary Metabolite Nicotine on Growth and Development of Frankliniella occidentalis

[Objective] The paper was to explore the chemical and molecular mechanisms of Frankliniella occidentalis, an important quarantine pest, against toxic substances. [Method] F. occidentalis were evaluated after continuous exposure to artificial diets containing nicotine from the 2^（nd） and the 3^（rd）instars for five generations, to determine the larval weight, pupal weight, and larval development duration. [Result] The larval development delayed and nicotine treatment significantly inhibited the weight gain of larvae. Compared to the control, the inhibition rates of larval weight and pupal weight were declined from 45% to 20% and from 25% to 4% respectively after feeding the 2^（nd）instars with nicotine for five generations.Nicotine delayed the larval growth and prolonged the generation duration of F. occidentalis. Nicotine showed more significant inhibitory effect on the lower instar larvae. With the increasing generations of secondary culture, the inhibitory effect of nicotine on larval weight and pupal weight was weakened. The developmental period of larvae was shortened, and the generation duration of F. occidentalis was shortened. [Conclusion] Nicotine affects the growth and development of F. occidentalis. F. occidentalis will gradually increase the adaptability to nicotine toxic substances after selfregulation for a few generations, and relieve the inhibitory effect of toxic substances.

Characterization of two novel heat shock protein 70s and their transcriptional expression patterns in response to thermal stress in adult of Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera:Thripidae)

Heat shock protein 70（HSP70） is one of the most important members in the heat shock protein family, and plays important roles in the thermotolerance of insect. To explore the molecular mechanism of thermotolerance of Frankliniella occidentalis adults, the difference in the expression of HSP70s in F. occidentalis male or female adults under the thermal stress was studied under the laboratory conditions. Two full length c DNAs of HSP70s gene（Fohsc704 and Fohsc705） were cloned from F. occidentalis by using RT-PCR and RACE. The genomic sequence was demonstrated by genomic validation, and the position and size of the intron were analyzed by sequence analysis of c DNA. Real-time PCR was used to analyze the HSP70 expression patterns. The c DNA of Fohsc704 and Fohsc705 possessed 2 073 and 1 476 bp which encoded 690 and 491 amino acids（aa） with a calculated molecular weight of 75 and 54 k Da, respectively. Four introns in Fohsc704 and six introns in Fohsc705 protein were found. However, the HSP70 protein sequences in our study were ended with EKKN and GIFL, which were different from the reported Fo HSP70s. Various expression patterns of Fohsc704 and Fohsc705 were found in both genders of F. occidentalis under thermal stress. The expression of Fohsc704 and Fohsc705 reached to the highest level at –12 and –8°C in male adults, respectively, and Fohsc705 expressed the highest level at 33°C in female adults. In conclusion, HSP70s of F. occidentalis in our study are novel heat shock proteins. There were difference in expression patterns of the two hsc70s in genders of F. occidentalis, and the two HSP70s play important roles in the thermotolerance of F. occidentalis.

Effects of Nicotine, a Plant Secondary Metabolite, on Protective Enzyme and Detoxification Enzyme of Frankliniella occidentalis

[Objective] The paper was to explore the effects of plant secondary metabolite on protective enzymes and detoxification enzymes of quarantine pest Frankliniella occidentalis. [Method] F. occidentalis were continuously exposed to artificial diets containing nicotine from the second to fifth instars for five generations, and the effects of nicotine on protective enzymes and detoxification enzymes of larvae were determined. [Result]The activities of carboxylate esterase(CarE) and glutathione-S-transferase(GST) in midgut of the fifth instar larvae were significantly increased, and reached the maximum at the third generation(1.86 times and 1.59 times, respectively). Nicotine inhibited the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase(CAT). With the increase of feeding generations, the inhibitory effect of nicotine weakened. Nicotine significantly increased the activities of peroxidase(POD). [Conclusion] F. occidentalis will gradually adapt to the harm of plant toxins by starting its own detoxification enzyme system and regulating protective enzyme system after feeding on plant secondary substance nicotine.

Obstructor,a Frankliniella occidentalis protein,promotes transmission of tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus

Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus(TSWV)causes substantial economic losses to vegetables and other crops.TSWV is mainly transmitted by thrips in a persistent and proliferative manner,and its most efficient vector is the western flower thrips,Frankliniella occidentalis(Pergande).In moving from the thrips midgut to the salivary glands in preparation for transmission,the virions must overcome multiple barriers.Although several proteins that interact with TSWV in thrips have been characterized,we hypothesized that additional thrips proteins interact with TSWV and facilitate its transmission.In the current study,67 F occidentalis proteins that interact with GN(a structural glycoprotein)were identified using a split-ubiquitin membrane-based yeast 2-hybrid(MbY2H)system.Three proteins,apolipoprotein-D(ApoD),orai-2-like(Orai),and obstructor-E-like isoform X2(Obst),were selected for further study based on their high abundance and interaction strength;their interactions with Gn were confirmed by MbY2H,yeastβ-galactosidase and luciferase complementation assays.The relative expressions of ApoD and Orai were significantly down-regulated but that of Obst was significantly up-regulated in viruliferous thrips.When interfering with Obst in larval stage,the TSWV acquisition rate in 3 independent experiments was significantly decreased by 26%,40%,and 35%,respectively.In addition,when Obst was silenced in adults,the virus titer was significantly decreased,and the TSWV transmission rate decreased from 66.7%to 31.9%using the leaf disk method and from 86.67%to 43.33%using the living plant method.However,the TSWV acquisition and transmission rates were not affected by interference with the ApoD or Orai gene.The results indicate that Obst may play an important role in TSWV acquisition and transmission in Frankliniella occidentalis.

不同光谱对东亚小花蝽捕食西花蓟马的影响

设施补光可能会影响天敌昆虫的应用效率,为探索提升天敌应用效果的补光光谱,促进补光与天敌释放技术的有机结合,本研究在相同光强和光周期的条件下,比较了红(R)、蓝(B)、红蓝组合(RB)和白(W,对照)光处理下东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马捕食能力的差异。结果表明,相比于W光,B光显著降低东亚小花蝽雌成虫的存活率,R和RB光未影响其雌成虫的存活。R和RB光显著增加东亚小花蝽在高密度猎物下对西花蓟马的捕食量。不同光谱处理下东亚小花蝽雌成虫对西花蓟马雌成虫的捕食能力均符合HollingⅡ型功能反应模型,且搜寻效应随猎物密度增加逐渐降低。RB光处理下,东亚小花蝽捕食西花蓟马的效果最好,理论日最大捕食量最高,为43.10头/d,单头猎物处理时间最短,为0.0232d;B光的理论日最大捕食量也较高,为42.90头/d,单头猎物处理时间为0.0233d;R光下东亚小花蝽捕食西花蓟马的瞬时攻击率最高为1.0837。东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马的搜寻效率最高的是RB光处理,其次是R或B光,最低的是W光。以上结果表明,相比于W光,R、B和RB光均增加东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马的捕食能力和搜寻效率,但B光会降低东亚小花蝽的存活率。因此,与设施补充R和RB光相结合,可潜在提升东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马的捕食效果。本文基于捕食功能差异评价了三种常用补光光谱对东亚小花蝽捕食西花蓟马的影响,为设施补光兼顾天敌应用提供了基础数据。

The diurnal flight activity and influential factors of Frankliniella occidentalis in the greenhouse

The daily flight activity of westem flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis （Pergande） （Thysanoptera： Thripidae） was examined using color, yellow-light and chemical attractant traps in a cucumber greenhouse and under controlled laboratory conditions. In the greenhouse, flying thrips were most abundant between hours 08：00-10：00, declined at mid-day, and then slightly increased during hours 14：00-16：00; however they decreased to a very low level at 18：00. The use of light traps showed no thrip flight activity during the night. The total number of thrips that flew onto cards on rainy or cloudy days was higher than that on sunny days. We reconfirmed that traps treated with attractant attracted 4.0-9.4 times more thrip than the untreated traps. Under laboratory controlled conditions, thrip flight activity was highest under light intensity between 4 000 and 6 000 lux, air temperature of 28℃, and RH of 70%. In addition, starved thrips flew more readily than non-starved thrips.

Tiny insects against the weather flight and foraging patterns of Frankliniella schultzei (Thripidae) not altered by onset of rainfall

To survive in nature,organisms may need to take direct action to mitigate specific dangers from their environmental surroundings.Tiny flying insects are thought to be at particular risk from rainfall that would be of negligible concern to larger animals.The study species Frankliniella schultzei is a thrips that inhabits flowers and feeds mostly on petal tissue and pollen.While found to respond in the laboratory to decreases in atmospheric pressure associated with cyclonic conditions (rather than merely heavy rainfall),their responses to conditions preceding rainfall have not been tested in the field.Initial field sampling investigated the relationship between floral development and sites at which male,female,and larval thrips were generally present on sunny days.We then designed a sampling strategy to test if these thrips can anticipate imminent rainfall or storms and so seek shelter deep within flowers,by sampling host flowers (in sections)on multiple days with different weather conditions.Sticky traps were used to intercept thrips in flight,thus providing a measure of flight behavior across different days.The initial sampling found adult thrips primarily at the petal apex of anthesis-stage flowers where pollen is distributed. We subsequently found that rainfall,atmospheric pressure change,temperature,humidity and wind had no effect on flight behavior of E schultzei,or on their positions within flowers.These findings suggest rainfall is not a serious hazard for them.Perhaps thrips can survive raindrop collisions during flight,as impacts with water droplets are not expected to break the surface tension.
