In wind- tunnel, C. chlorideae was strongly attracted by herbivore- induced tobacco volatiles. Mechanically damaged tobacco leaves, whether treated with caterpillar regurgitant or water, were more attractive to the parasitoid than undamaged to-bacco leaves. GC-MS analysis revealed that only 4 com-pounds were released from undamaged tobacco leaves, whereas 13 compounds were commonly emitted from herbi-vore-infested and mechanically damaged tobacco leaves. Compound β-pinene was specifically induced by the infesta- tion of H. armigera, and (Z)-3-hexenal was only induced by the infestation of H. armigera and H. assulta, whereas hexyl acetate was only induced by mechanical damage. Tobacco leaves infested by H. armigera and H. assulta released larger amounts of volatiles than undamaged tobacco leaves did. Tobacco leaves treated with artificial damage plus caterpil- lars regurgitant or water emitted the same levels of volatiles, which were higher than that emitted by undamaged tobacco leaves. The emission amounts of single compounds were also different between differently treated plants. The differences were large between herbivore-induced and mechanical dam-age-induced compounds, and small between H. armigera- and H. assulta-induced compounds, and among compounds emitted from mechanically damaged plants treated with wa-ter or caterpillar regurgitant.展开更多

Organophosphate resistance is worldspread in the cotton bollworm[Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)]. With the degenerate primers we amplified a 281 bp cDNA fragment of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene in H. armigera by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method using total RNA extracted from 4th larva as the template. The cDNA fragment was inserted into pGEMT vector and then cloned. The deduced amino acid sequence of AChE consisted of 94 residues. The sequence analysis indicated that the deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA fragment shares high identity with AChE gene from other published insects and animals. The acquired sequence had 84%,79%,74%,70%,70%,72%,68%,61%,55% and 57% of amino acid residues identical to those of Leptinotarsa decemlineata(L.d.), Nephotettix cincticeps(N.c.),Anopheles stephensi(A.s.), Aedes aegypti(A.a.), Lucilia cuprina(L.c.), Drosophila melanogaster(D.m.), Musca domestica(M.d.), Meloidogyne incognita(M.i.), Torpedo californica(T.c.) and Gallus gallus(G.g.), respectively. All these results firmly established that the amplified cDNA fragment was the partial sequence of AChE gene in H. armigera. This is the first report of partial cDNA sequence of AChE in H. armigera.展开更多
