[Objectives]The paper was to screen effective biocontrol strains against Meloidogyne incognita.[Methods]The effect of six bacterial strains sourced from the research group s strain library on the activity of second instar larvae of M.incognita,as well as on egg hatching,was evaluated.[Results]The treatment of fermentation supernatant derived from the X-2 strain exhibited a pronounced lethal effect on M.incognita,with a corrected mortality rate reaching 97%within 72 h.Additionally,this treatment significantly inhibited egg hatching,achieving an inhibition rate of 94.69%at a 20-fold dilution.The strain was identified as Bacillus velezensis,belonging to the genus Bacillus,and was designated as RKN1111.[Conclusions]This study presents alternative strains and a theoretical framework for the biological control of M.incognita.

Antennal morphology of the cicada Meimuna mongolica (Distant) (Hemiptera: Cicadidae), with a deduction of its nymphal instars and discussion of the antennal morphological variations in relation to niche changes

The morphology of antennal sensilla of both nymphs and adults in the cicada Meimuna mongolica （Distant） were studied. Four instars of M. mongolica （Distant） were preliminarily determined using Dyar＇s rule and a regression analysis of the head width of nymphs, combined with the comparative morphology of antennae of different stage nymphs and adults. The antennae of nymphs in different instars and adults show great morphological variations. The numbers, types and distribution of antennal sensilla in nymphs and adults of M. mongolica are significantly different, which should be closely related to the niche changes of the nymphs and adults, and provide implications for the development stages of this cicada.

Characterization of larval instars of artemisia weevil,Adosomus sp.

The artemisia weevil, Adosomus sp., has become an important wormwood （Artemisa ordosoca and A. sphaerocephala） pest in recent years in Ningxia Province, China. The number of larval instars should be determined before further studies on its life history, biology and integrate management of pest （IMP）. In this study, we measured the length and width of head capsule, based on frequency histograms and Dyar＇s law, from which we concluded that the larvae ofAdosomus sp. have four instars. Of the two variables measured, the width of head capsule provided the best division of instars. The average width of head capsule of the 1st instar larvae was 1.348±0.152 mm, the 2nd 2.109±0.199 mm, the 3rd 3.563±0.492 mm and the 4th 5.974±0.581 mm.

Laboratory Observations Regarding Different Instars of Cyclosainsulana(Costa, 1834)(Araneidae ) During Developmental Stages

The current experiment was conducted to find out the optimal conditions for mass rearing and developmental changes of Cyclosainsulana. The lab. conditions were maintained at （27±2）℃ and （65±5）% RH. The clear perplex cages and natural diet consisting of the aphids, larvae of the house fly and larvae of drosophila were used for rearing. C. insulana took （123.12±7.26） days to develop from eggs to adults passing through eight instars under prevailing vivo conditions. The eggs were greenish white in color with average size of 0.57 mm ±0.034. The eggs spent （7.52±1.64） days in emergence. Maximum number of spiderlings survived at the 5th instar （84%） and minimum at the 1st instar （34%）. The measurements of different body parts including the total body length, cephalothorax and pedipalps of the both male and female C. insulana were done with the help of micrometer and presented as mean± SD. The measurements varied in the each developing instar. It was concluded that spiders were difficult to rear in the lab. conditions and each developing stage which was regarded as instars showed variations in size colors and body characteristics.

Larval Instars and Division Features of Apriona germari

Apriona germari larvae were obtained via sample collection in woodland and indoor rearing. In this study, larval instars were divided by Dyar＇s law, and the results showed that the larval stage of A. germari comprised six instars, while the width of head capsule was the best instar-dividing structure. On the basis of instar division, tubercle numbers on the transverse furrow downside of first abdominal dorsal ambulatory ampullae, seta numbers of abdominal telson and lateral seta numbers of mandible were observed and statistically calculated. The accuracy of instar-dividing was verified by comparing with the Dyar＇s law. The coincidence rate of two instar-dividing results was 90. 47%. It is approved that the above morphological features could be used in instar division ofA. germari larvae.

番茄潜叶蛾种群定殖与种群重建及延续能力研究

【背景】番茄潜叶蛾(Tuta absoluta)是一种对番茄等作物最具毁灭性危害的世界检疫性害虫,2017年首次在我国西北新疆伊犁的露地番茄发现,2018年又在我国西南云南临沧的保护地番茄发生,目前已快速传播至我国20余个省级区域。【目的】以成虫为对象在室内笼罩条件下,研究明确番茄潜叶蛾的种群定殖、种群重建及延续能力。【方法】每笼接入不同数量(2、4、6、8、10头)的番茄潜叶蛾成虫(性比1:1),通过评价其产卵量和幼虫孵化率,研究繁殖体数量对番茄潜叶蛾种群定殖能力的影响;以1对成虫(2头,性比1:1)为起始繁殖体数量,通过种群数量动态监测、虫态(龄期)个体数量占比及丰富度指数R评价,研究番茄潜叶蛾的种群重建和延续能力。【结果】以5个繁殖体数量(2、4、6、8、10头,性比1:1)接入番茄潜叶蛾成虫,各繁殖体数量的总计产卵量分别为93.1、194.9、271.3、311.5和400.2粒,差异显著;平均单雌产卵量分别为93.1、97.4、90.4、77.9和80.0粒,差异显著,且繁殖体数量为1♀:1♂、2♀:2♂和3♀:3♂的平均单雌产卵量明显高于4♀:4♂和5♀:5♂;此外,在5个繁殖体起始数量处理中,卵孵化为幼虫的比率均比较高,为91.3%—92.7%;综合分析结果显示,种群定殖能力大小依次为5♀:5♂>3♀:3♂>4♀:4♂>2♀:2♂>1♀:1♂。1对(2头,性比1:1)番茄潜叶蛾成虫即可重新建立种群,约90 d(3个世代)后种群即可达到稳定状态。在168 d(约5个世代)的种群重建和种群延续过程中,仅在最初的0—91 d范围观察到3个较为明显的种群发生高峰(世代),高峰日总计虫量(蛹未予计入)较起始繁殖体数量分别增加77.8、60.5和60.1倍,其中,成虫数量分别增加6.4、4.1和7.7倍;之后,各虫态(卵、1—4龄幼虫、成虫)同时发生,世代重叠现象明显,种群数量趋于稳定并波动增长,总计种群数量持续稳定在96.6—140.6头,不同虫态(龄期)个体数量占比在16.67%上下波动,丰富度指数R稳定在1.011—1.094。【结论】番茄潜叶蛾1对成虫即具有较高的生殖与存活能力,传入的起始繁殖体数量越大,番茄潜叶蛾成功定殖的可能性越大;1头雌虫和1头雄虫即可重新建立种群并使种群得以稳定延续。1对成虫的传入即具有较大的入侵风险并产生足够多的后代以满足种群延续和扩张,因此,在番茄潜叶蛾防控工作中,应加强对该虫的监测预警,并力争在其点片发生期予以灭除。

Inhibitory Kinetics of p-Substituted Benzaldehydes on Polyphenol Oxidase from the Fifth Instar of Pieris Rapae L.

Polyphenol oxidase （PPO） is the enzyme responsible for enzymatic browning during the growth of insects. It is also involved in defense reactions and is related with immunities in insects. PPO a metalloenzyme oxidase, catalyzes the oxidation of o-diphenol to o-quinone. The present paper describes the effects of benzaldehyde and its p-substituted derivatives on the activity of PPO from the fifth instar of Pieris rapae L. PPO from the fifth instar of Pieris rapae L. was purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme kinetics was characterized using L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine （L-DOPA） as substrate. The results show that benzaldehyde, phydroxybenzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzaldehyde, and p-cyanobenzaldehyde can inhibit the PPO activity for the oxidation of L-DOPA. The inhibitor concentration leading to 50% activity lost, IC50, was estimated to be 5.90, 5.62, 2.83, and 2.91 mmol/L for the four tested inhibitors, respectively. Kinetic analyses show that the inhibitory effects of these compounds are reversible. Benzaldehyde, phydroxybenzaldehyde, and p-chlorobenzaldehyde are noncompetitive inhibitors while p-cyanobenzaldehyde is a mixed-type inhibitor. The inhibition constants were determined for all four inhibitors. p-chlorobenzaldehyde and p-cyanobenzaldehyde were more potent inhibitors than the other compounds. These results provide a basis for developing PPO inhibition-based pesticides.

为明确梨星毛虫Illidcris pruni的龄期,了解其头部感受器的种类、形态和分布,通过测量梨星毛虫的头壳宽度与体长两项指标,根据所得数据的频率分布直方图以及结合Dyar定律明确幼虫虫龄数,并利用Crosby生长法则和线性回归的方法对得出的结果进行验证;并采用扫描电镜对末龄幼虫头部形态及感受器进行观察。结果表明,梨星毛虫体长和头壳宽的频次分布均呈显著的5个峰,因此推断梨星毛虫为5个虫龄。各龄的体长变幅分别为2.96~4.04 mm、5.27~6.27 mm、7.76~8.36 mm、9.47~10.45 mm和11.83~12.11 mm,头壳宽变幅分别为0.316~0.358 mm、0.397~0.459 mm、0.538~0.598 mm、0.687~0.735 mm和0.947~1.011 mm。头壳宽符合戴氏法则和Crosby生长法则,并呈现明显的线性关系,因此头壳宽可作为梨星毛虫龄期划分的重要指标,体长可作为分龄的辅助指标。梨星毛虫末龄幼虫头部感器共有栓锥形感器、锥形感器和刺形感器3种感器,主要分布于触角、口器、上颚和下颚须。

褐带卷蛾茧蜂对不同龄期红脉穗螟幼虫的选择性和适应性

[目的]本研究为明确褐带卷蛾茧蜂对红脉穗螟不同龄期幼虫的偏好和适应性。[方法]采用室内生物学方法研究了寄生蜂对寄主幼虫龄期的选择性及寄主幼虫龄期对寄生蜂发育、存活、寿命、子代性比等的影响。[结果]在选择性试验中,褐带卷蛾茧蜂可寄生红脉穗螟3~5龄幼虫,而在非选择性条件下可以寄生红脉穗螟2~5龄幼虫,且寄生率随寄主龄期的升高而增加。褐带卷蛾茧蜂在红脉穗螟2~5龄幼虫体上均可完成世代发育。其中以2龄幼虫为寄主时,褐带卷蛾茧蜂总发育历期(卵-成虫)最长,为18.50 d,而以红脉穗螟5龄幼虫为寄主时发育历期最短,仅为12.75 d,两者之间相差5.75 d。以红脉穗螟5龄幼虫为寄主时,褐带卷蛾茧蜂单雌产卵量最高(34.85粒),寿命最长(14.50 d),而以2龄幼虫为寄主时单雌产卵量最低(5.29粒),寿命最短(11.15 d),与5龄幼虫为寄主相比分别降低84.82%和23.10%。褐带卷蛾茧蜂的生命表参数内禀增长率(rm)、净增值率(R0)、世代时间(T)和有限增长率(λ)均在寄生红脉穗螟5龄幼虫时达到最大,rm、R0、T和λ的值分别为0.29、123.21、16.50和1.34。[结论]褐带卷蛾茧蜂更偏好选择红脉穗螟高龄幼虫寄生,且高龄寄主幼虫有利于褐带卷蛾茧蜂个体和种群发育。
