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.展开更多

[Method] Taking Chinese cabbage variety Taiyuan Erqing as the test material, the field control efficiencies of four pesticides including PrGV · Bt WP 1 000 times dilution, NPV · Bt SC 750 times dilution, 0.5% azadirachtin EC 750 times dilution, and 0.3% matrine AS 500 times dilution against P. rapae were studied, and their impacts on yield and planting benefits of Chinese cabbage were also determined. Using foliar spray method, the pesticides were sprayed for the first time when the second or third instar larvae of P. rapae first occurred in fields, and sprayed for the second time with the interval of 15 d. The fields sprayed with beta-cypermethrin EC （organic chemical pesticide） and water were set as control. [ Result] NPV · Bt SC 750 times dilution had the best effect after spraying for two times： the control efficiency against P. rapae at 15 d after spraying was 90.11% ; the damage rate of Chinese cabbage was only 0.21%, while the commodity rate reached 100% ; compared with chemical pesticide spraying, the commodity yield （177 262.5 kg/hm2 ） and the income after deducting spraying cost （48 858.5 yuan/hm2 ） were increased by 14.7% and 13.75%, respectively. [ Conclusion] Although biological pesticides are more expensive, they have long persistence and good control effect, resulting in green and safe Chinese cabbage with high commodity rate and yield, and higher eventual economic benefit after deducting spraying cost.展开更多

Then, bioinformatics analysis on lef-3 gene and its encoding sequences were conducted by using bid-softs. Four mutations were appeared in the ORF of cloned lef-3 gene, which did not alter the characteristics of amino acids. It was inferred that PiraGV LEF-3 protein contained 399 amino acids, the molecular weight of which was 3.99 kD. Prediction of the LEF-3 advanced structure and homology comparison between other LEF-3 from various baculoviruses showed that the lef-3 gene might encode the single-stranded DNA-binding protein. The result of BLAST revealed that the lef-3 gene only existed in Lepidoptera host for the baculovirus genome, and the evolution analysis illustrated that lef-3 gene could be divided into 3 groups including one granulovirus （GV） group and 2 nucleopolyhedrovirus （NPV） groups. The selection pressure analysis of GV lef-3 gene coding region showed that the majority of lef-3 genes performed negative selection, while the Ka/Ks differed from different lef-3 gene, to some extent, which also performed positive selection. The origination analysis revealed that lef-3 gene of baculovirus might derive from bacteria. The lef-3 gene of PiraGV was cloned successfully and the possible patterns of origination and evolution were speculated through bioinformatics analysis.展开更多

The remaining pesticides had good control effect against both P. rapae and P. xylostella,with certain persistence. Slight injury such as yellowing tender leaves appeared in the area treated with 50% thiocyclam SP,although the injury was reversible,it was still not recommended to use; no other treatments had adverse effects on growth of cabbage.展开更多
