Characteristics of Cellulases from Anoplophora glabripennis Motsch (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

The property of major cellulases from the guts of Anoplophora glabripennis larvae have been characterized. The optimal temperatures of both β 1,4 glucosidase (β glucosidase) and endo β 1,4 endoglucanase (endoglucanase, Cx) are 40℃. The β glucosidase was optimally active at pH 4\^8, while the optimal activity of the endoglucanase occurred at pH 4 4 5 6 The endoglucanase was active with a wide range of pH and temperature, the levels of activity from 25℃ to 50℃ were more than 80%, and the activity remained 60% between pH 3 2 and pH 7 2. The endoglucanase exhibited higher thermal stability than β glucosidase. Both enzymes lose their activities by heat treatment at 60℃. Two isozymes of endoglucanase were detected in sodium carboxymethylcellulose polyacrymide gels (CMC gel) by chemical colorization, and purified by elution from the gel slices. The molecular weights of the two isozymes were estimated as 26kD and 39kD respectively. Moreover molecular characteristics of the two isozymes are currently underway.

茉莉酸甲酯喷施和光肩星天牛(Anoplophora glabripennis(Motschulsky)咬食后五角枫释放的挥发物

茉莉酸甲酯喷施和光肩星天牛(Anoplophora glabripennis(Motschulsky)咬食后五角枫(Acer mono Maxim.)植株均诱导产生了乙酸丁酯、2-壬醇、乙酸己酯、3-甲基-2-丁醇、1-辛烯、里那醇、3-蒈烯、1-丁醇、(Z)-2-己烯醛9种正常植株中没有检测到的挥发物。两种处理均诱导或促进了萜烯类、醇类和醛类挥发物的大量释放,且乙酸-3-己烯酯、乙酸乙酯、己醇、反-2-己烯醇、乙基己醇、1-辛烯、石竹烯、法尼烯等挥发物的时序变化趋势也非常相似。因而推测光肩星天牛咬食五角枫后在植物体内诱导产生了茉莉酸信号传导途径。

Electrophysiological and Behavioral Responses of Adult Anoplophom glabripennis (Motschulsky) to Volatile Components of Host-Plant

Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of adult A. glabripennis (Motsch.) to volatiles from ashleaf maple (Acer negundo L.) were investigated to identify semiochemicals involved in host location. Measurable electroantennogram (BAG) responses were elicited to all compounds tested, the most effective antennal stimulants were trans-2-hexen-1-al,decyl aldehyde and trans-2-hexenl-ol.These profiles were similar between males and females. In Y-tube olfactometer bioassays, above three compounds with certain concentration, trans-2-hexen-l-al (1%), trans-2-hexen-l-ol (1%) and decyl aldehyde (10%), were significantly attractive to the adults in laboratory. The results show that either BAG or olfactory responding to a particular volatile compound are markedly influenced by the concentration.

Combining WV-2 images and tree physiological factors to detect damage stages of Populus gansuensis by Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) at the tree level

Background:Anoplophora glabripennis(Motschulsky),commonly known as Asian longhorned beetle(ALB),is a wood-boring insect that can cause lethal infestation to multiple borer leaf trees.In Gansu Province,northwest China,ALB has caused a large number of deaths of a local tree species Populus gansuensis.The damaged area belongs to Gobi desert where every single tree is artificially planted and is extremely difficult to cultivate.Therefore,the monitoring of the ALB infestation at the individual tree level in the landscape is necessary.Moreover,the determination of an abnormal phenotype that can be obtained directly from remote-sensing images to predict the damage degree can greatly reduce the cost of field investigation and management.Methods:Multispectral WorldView-2(WV-2)images and 5 tree physiological factors were collected as experimental materials.One-way ANOVA of the tree’s physiological factors helped in determining the phenotype to predict damage degrees.The original bands of WV-2 and derived vegetation indices were used as reference data to construct the dataset of a prediction model.Variance inflation factor and stepwise regression analyses were used to eliminate collinearity and redundancy.Finally,three machine learning algorithms,i.e.,Random Forest(RF),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Classification And Regression Tree(CART),were applied and compared to find the best classifier for predicting the damage stage of individual P.gansuensis.Results:The confusion matrix of RF achieved the highest overall classification accuracy(86.2%)and the highest Kappa index value(0.804),indicating the potential of using WV-2 imaging to accurately detect damage stages of individual trees.In addition,the canopy color was found to be positively correlated with P.gansuensis’damage stages.Conclusions:A novel method was developed by combining WV-2 and tree physiological index for semi-automatic classification of three damage stages of P.gansuensis infested with ALB.The canopy color was determined as an abnormal phenotype that could be directly assessed using remote-sensing images at the tree level to predict the damage degree.These tools are highly applicable for driving quick and effective measures to reduce damage to pure poplar forests in Gansu Province,China.

Cellulase in Anoplophora glabripennis adults emerging from different host tree species

In order to investigate different kinds of cellulase in insect pests, we selected male and female adults of Anoplophora glabripennis （Motschulsky） emerging from four different host species （Populus alba var. pyramidalis, P. nigra var. thevestina （Dode） Bean., P. simonii × P. pyramidliscr cv. Opera 8277 Hsu. and Salix matsudana f. lobato-glandulosa） as our research material. The enzyme activitives of three kinds of cellulase in the intestines of the adult insects were measured. The Cx-cellulase isozymes were detected with a CMC-incorporated polyacrylamide gel. The results show that： there are no statistically significant differences between the enzyme activities of males and females emerging from the different host species. The order of magnitude in activity is： Cx-cellulase 〉 β-glycosidase 〉 C1-cellulase. When the adults emerge from the same host species, there are no statistically significant differences between male and female enzyme activities of β-glycosidase and C1-cellulase, but the enzyme activity of Cx-cellulase of males is clearly higher than that of females. The patterns and migration of Cx-cellulase isozymes of males and females emerging from differ-ent hosts trees are clearly not different, and neither are they different when emerging from the same hosts.

Cellulase in Anoplophora glabripennis adults fed on original host tree species and non-original host trees

Cellulase activities of Anoplophora glabripennis （Motsch.） adults from two host plants （Populus simonii x p pyramidliscr cv. Opera Hsu. and Salix matsudana Koidz） fed on three different host tree species （Acer negundo Linn., S. matsudana Koidz and P simonii x P pyramidliscr cv. Opera Hsu.） were investigated. Enzyme activities of endoglucanase and β-glucosidase in the intestines of the insects were measured. The results show that there are no statistically significant differences in the enzyme activities of endoglucanase between male and female insects from the two host plants fed on three host trees, neither inβ-glucosidase. No statistically significant differences in the enzyme activities of endoglucanase and β-glucosidase were found between males and females from the two plants fed on three host tree species, except that the endoglucanase activity in males from the opera poplar fed on Hankow willow is lower than that fed on ash-leaf maple and opera poplar.

Oviposition Site Selection of Anoplophora glabripennis in Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) and Its Gnawing Nidus Oviposition Habits

[Objective] The paper was to explore the oviposition site selection of Anoplophora glabripennis in sugar maple and its gnawing nidus oviposition habits. [Method] Through field and indoor rearing observation, the oviposition site selection of A. glabripennis in sugar maple was studied, and the gnawing nidus oviposition habits were analyzed. [Result] The height of oviposition site of A. glabripennis in sugar maple, the number observation holes （gnawing nidus oviposition points） and bark thickness in oviposition site showed linear correlation with diameter of branch at breast height. The gnawing nidus oviposition habit of A. glabripennis in sugar maple was mainly divided into 4 stages： gnawing nidus site selection, gnawing nidus, oviposition and nidus sealing, the duration from gnawing nidus to nidus sealing was（38.29±16.47）min. [Conclusion] The study provided reference for comprehensive prevention of A. glabripennis in greening tree species sugar maple, as well as further study on reproductive behavior and regulation mechanism of A. glabripennis.

光肩星天牛成虫光行为反应

对光肩星天牛(Anoplophora glabripennis)成虫光行为进行研究,探讨利用灯光诱捕监控其种群的可能性。在室内暗光周期下,以高压氙灯和不同光波的发光二极管(LED)红光灯为光源,配合滤光片和中性衰减片,测试光肩星雌雄两性对不同光强度、不同波长光源的行为反应。结果表明:当相对光强度为100%时,可以引起距离光源2.0 m雌雄两性的飞行趋光行为,其中雄性的起飞率高于雌性;随着光强度的降低,雌雄两性的趋光活性随之减弱;相对光强度为100%和50%时,雌雄两性的都表现出明显的避光行为,雄性的避光距离大于雌性;随着光强度的降低,雌雄两性的避光活性随之减弱,当相对光强度降为25%时,雌雄两性均无避光反应。雌雄两性对370 nm的紫外光和600~700 nm的红光趋向性最强,其次是400~500 nm蓝紫光,对500~600 nm黄绿光趋向性最弱;对620~630、640~650及655~665 nm波段的LED红光行为反应没有差别。高强度的光源能引起光肩星天牛远距离趋光行为,但也会引起明显的避光反应,这个行为特性表明灯光诱捕不适合用于监控该天牛种群。

光肩星天牛胁迫声及种内空间运动行为

为了利用行为调制手段防治害虫,以光肩星天牛(Anoplophora glabripennis)为研究对象,在实验室内对光肩星天牛雌雄两性胁迫声进行录制和分析,分别在光周期和暗周期对光肩星天牛进行行为生测,分析胁迫声对光肩星天牛空间运动行为的影响。结果表明:光肩星天牛雄性胁迫声音组持续时间短于雌性、频率明显高于雌性,但雌雄胁迫声对空间运动行为的影响没有差异。在光周期,胁迫声对天牛向上爬行及水平运动均没有影响;对雄性起飞行为有抑制作用,但对雌性起飞行为没有影响。在暗周期,胁迫声对雌雄两性水平爬行有驱离作用,降低了天牛趋光爬行的活性;对雄性起飞行为没有影响,但对雌性起飞行为有促进作用。光肩星天牛胁迫声对种内个体具有警戒信号作用,这种作用与光周期相关并对雌雄两性的行为影响有所不同。

Is there hybridization between 2 species of the same genus in sympatry?——The genetic relationships between Anoplophora glabripennis,Anoplophora chinensis,and putative hybrids

Anoplophora glabripennis(Asian longhorn beetle,ALB)and Anoplophora chinensis(Citrus longhorn beetle,CLB)are native forest pests in China;they have become important international quarantine pests.They are found using the same Salix aureopendula host tree of Cixi,Zhejiang province,China.On this host tree,we collected additional beetles that appeared to be morphologically intermediate between ALB and CLB.By using a stereoscope,we observed that there were several bumps on the base of the elytra,which was inconsistent with ALB,which typically has a smooth elytral base,but was more like CLB,which has numerous short tubercles on the elytral base.Given their sympatry and intermediate morphology,we hypothesized that these may represent ALB×CLB hybrids.We studied the genomic profiles for 46 samples(ALB,CLB,and putative hybrids)using genotyping-by-sequencing(GBS)providing a reduced representation of the entire genome.Employing principal component analyses on the 163 GBS-derived single nucleotide polymorphism data,we found putative hybrids tightly clustered with ALB,but genetically distinct from the CLB individuals.Therefore,our initial hybrid hypothesis was not supported by genomic data.Further,while mating experiments between adult ALB and CLB were successful in 4 separate years(2017,2018,2020,and 2021),and oviposition behavior was observed,no progeny was produced.Having employed population genomic analysis and biological hybridization experiments,we conclude that the putative hybrids represent newly discovered morphological variants within ALB.Our approach further confirmed the advantage of genome-wide information for Anoplophora species assignment in certain ambiguous classification cases.

辐照对光肩星天牛幼虫发育的影响

用高能X射线辐照处理3、4、5龄光肩星天牛幼虫，结果表明：辐照引起幼虫的生活期延长，发育迟缓；辐照抗性随虫龄的增加而增强，5龄幼虫最耐辐照，阻止其化蛹的剂量为55～60Gy。γ射线辐照杨树木段中光肩星天牛幼虫的结果也表明，60Gy能够100％阻止老熟幼虫化蛹。因此，可以推荐60Gy作为光肩星天牛幼虫检疫辐照处理的有效剂量，用于原木和木质包装的检疫除害处理。
