木薯对伴生杂草化感作用的初步研究

以白菜和木薯园伴生杂草(假臭草、三叶鬼针草)为受体植物,采用生物测定的方法研究了新鲜木薯叶片4种浸提液的化感作用.结果表明,4种浸提液对受体植物种子萌发率、根长和茎长的生长发育均有不同程度的抑制作用,且浓度越大抑制作用越强;其中乙酸乙酯和水浸提液的抑制作用较强,甲醇和氯仿浸提液的抑制作用相对较弱.研究表明,木薯叶浸提液中含有抑制伴生杂草(假臭草和三叶鬼针草)种子萌发和幼苗生长的化感物质,为进一步开展具有化感潜力木薯品种的研究提供了理论基础.     

圆柏果实水浸提液化感作用的初步研究

圆柏(Sabina chinensis L.)成年母树周围很少有实生苗生长,为了检测该植物组织是否具有抑制种子发芽的作用,通过测定圆柏果皮和种子水浸提液对萝卜、白菜和圆柏种子萌发及幼苗根长和苗高的影响,对圆柏果实化感物质的作用进行了研究。结果显示:在高浓度0.1 g/mL果皮水浸提液处理下,萝卜和白菜种子的萌发、苗高和根长生长均受到显著的抑制作用,随着浸提液浓度的降低,其抑制作用逐渐减弱;低浓度(0.01 g/mL,0.03 g/mL)的果皮水浸提液对萝卜种子的萌发、幼苗苗高和根长均表现为促进作用,对白菜种子萌发、幼苗苗高和根长有抑制作用;圆柏种子浸提液对萝卜、白菜种子萌发及幼苗生长的抑制作用不显著。圆柏果实水浸提液对萝卜和白菜具有明显的化感作用,化感物质主要存在于果皮中,而且圆柏果实的化感作用对参加试验的萝卜和白菜种子具有选择性。圆柏种子在该试验中未发芽,TTC法检测参加试验圆柏种子的活力,发现果皮浸提液处理的圆柏种子有34%具有生活力,子叶在转绿;种子浸提液处理的圆柏种子有37%具有生活力,子叶也在转绿,圆柏种子的发芽率比较低,很大程度上取决于种子的质量,圆柏对自身种子的发芽及幼苗生长的自毒效应需要进一步研究。

石刁柏4种浸提液对几种受体植物的化感作用

用白菜、假臭草和红毛草为受体植物,采用生物测定的方法研究了石刁柏新鲜茎叶4种浸提液的化感作用,结果表明：红毛草受石刁柏茎叶浸提液的抑制作用最强;4种溶剂的浸提液对假臭草萌发率的作用效果表现出“低浓度促进,高浓度抑制”的双重效应,而对其幼苗根茎生长具有明显的抑制作用,且浓度越大抑制作用越强;4种溶剂的浸提液对白菜萌发率和根长的作用在总体上也表现出显著的抑制作用,但对其茎长却有明显的促进作用。说明4种浸提液对受体植物种子萌发率、幼苗的根长和茎长均有不同程度的化感作用,这为利用石刁柏的化感作用控制杂草提供了理论基础。     

蒙山莴苣化感作用对4种草坪草种子萌发的影响

为了合理地控制草坪生长与管理草坪,初步研究蒙山莴苣[Mulgedium tataricum（L.）DC.]根、叶、茎的浸提液及5个不同浓度茎浸提液对校园内采的高羊茅（Festuca arundinacea Schreb.）、高羊茅千年盛世（Millennium）、一年生黑麦草（Lolium multiflorumL.）蓝天堂（Blue Heaven）、多年生黑麦草（L.perenneL.）球道（Fairway）4种草坪草的化感作用,通过对受体种子发芽率、幼苗长度、根长以及幼苗中过氧化氢酶活性、可溶性蛋白含量等指标的测定发现：蒙山莴苣浸提液对草坪草的种子萌发以及幼苗的生长均表现出抑制作用,其强度为茎〉叶〉根。总体上随着茎浸提液浓度的增大,草坪草受抑制作用有所增强。蒙山莴苣浸提液对幼苗中CAT活性影响各异,且抑制幼苗中可溶性蛋白合成,其中茎浸提液抑制作用最大。     

小麦及变异后代对部分农田杂草的化感效应及其防控潜力

以外源DNA供体高粱、变异新品系89122和春小麦品种陇春13号为试验受体,3种杂草水浸提液为试验供体,通过正向和逆向化感抑制敏感性测试与评价,分析3种作物的遗传变异特性和化感潜力,评估小麦化感抑草潜力变异特性及遗传机制,为实现小麦抗杂草潜力的遗传改良提供理论支撑。结果表明,高粱DNA导入受体春小麦陇春13号后,其后代在农艺性状等方面发生变异,其对供试杂草的化感敏感性也发生变异;3种杂草水浸提液对3种供试作物种子萌发、幼苗形态特征和物种水平均有不同程度的抑制作用,且抑制作用随处理浓度的增大而增强,具有明显的浓度依赖性;灰绿藜除在种子萌发阶段对高粱的化感抑制作用较弱外,在其他作物幼苗生长阶段的化感抑制作用均明显强于稗和狗尾草,印证了灰绿藜在农田杂草群落中较强适应性主要表现在其对作物幼苗生长阶段的影响,而非种子萌发阶段。灰绿藜通过化感抑制作用实现自身竞争力提升,成为本区域的优势杂草,进一步拓宽了其生态位宽度,它在农田生态群落中的多维影响力强于稗和狗尾草。供试作物种子萌发阶段的敏感性要大于幼苗生长阶段,表现在其发芽指数的敏感性要大于萌发率,说明供试农田杂草通过降低种子发芽指数、延长发芽时间来...

Dermestid beetles in ‘evolution Canyon’, lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, including new records for Israel

Fifteen species of dermestid beetles were recorded at ‘Evolution Canyon’ (EC), Lower Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel. They represent ~35% of known Israeli dermestid species. The following three species were recorded for the first time in Israel:Trogoderma svriaca Dalla Torre, 1911;Ctesias svriaca Ganglbauer, 1904; andAnthrenus (s.str.) jordaniens Pic, 1934. Adults of 13 species were collected on the more solar radiated, warmer and climatically more fluctuating south-facing slope (SFS); ten species were collected on the opposite, north-facing slope (NFS), which was cooler and climatically more stable. The abundance of adult dermestid beetles was 1.9 times higher on the SFS than on the NFS (86 and 47, respectively). Species richness and abundance distribution at EC (three collecting stations on each slope and one at the valley bottom) were significantly negatively correlated with the plant cover that consisted of trees and bushes (Spearmanr _s ,P=0.007 and 0.039, respectively) and perennials (Spearmanr _s ,P=0.039 and 0.077, respectively), indicating that non-woody plants were preferred by adult dermestid beetles.     

Hymenopteran Parasitoids on Fruit-infesting Tephritidae (Diptera) in Latin America and the Southern United States: Diversity, Distribution, Taxonomic Status and their use in Fruit Fly Biological Control

We first discuss the diversity of fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of the Neotropics. Even though the emphasis is on Anastrepha parasitoids, we also review all the information available on parasitoids attacking flies in the genera Ceratitis, Rhagoletis, Rhagoletotrypeta, Toxotrypana and Zonosemata. We center our analysis in parasitoid guilds, parasitoid assemblage size and fly host profiles. We also discuss distribution patterns and the taxonomic status of all known Anastrepha parasitoids. We follow by providing a historical overview of biological control of pestiferous tephritids in Latin American and Florida (U.S.A.) and by analyzing the success or failure of classical and augmentative biological control programs implemented to date in these regions. We also discuss the lack of success of introductions of exotic fruit fly parasitoids in various Latin American countries. We finish by discussing the most pressing needs related to fruit fly biological control (classical, augmentative, and conservation modalities) in areas of the Neotropics where fruit fly populations severely restrict the development of commercial fruit growing. We also address the need for much more intensive research on the bioecology of native fruit fly parasitoids.

Epidemiology of Toxigenic Fungi and their Associated Mycotoxins for Some Mediterranean Crops

Recent data on the epidemiology of the common mycotoxigenic species of Fusarium, Alternaria, Aspergillus and Penicillium in infected or colonized plants, and in stored or processed plant products from the Mediterranean area are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the toxigenicity of the causal fungal species and the natural occurrence of well known mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, patulin, Alternaria-toxins and moniliformin), as well as some more recently described compounds (fusaproliferin, beauvericin) whose toxigenic potential is not yet well understood. Several Fusarium species reported from throughout the Mediterranean area are responsible of the formation of mycotoxins in infected plants and in plant products, including: Fusarium graminearum, F. culmorum, F. cerealis, F. avenaceum, F. sporotrichioides and F. poae, which produce deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, fusarenone, zearalenone, moniliformin, and T-2 toxin derivatives in wheat and other small grains affected by head blight or scab, and in maize affected by red ear rot. Moreover, strains of F. verticillioides, F. proliferatum, and F. subglutinans, that form fumonisins, beauvericin, fusaproliferin, and moniliformin, are commonly associated with maize affected by ear rot. Fumonisins, were also associated with Fusarium crown and root rot of asparagus and Fusarium endosepsis of figs, caused primarily by F. proliferatum. Toxigenic A. alternata strains and associated tenuazonic acid and alternariols were commonly found in black mould of tomato, black rot of olive and citrus, black point of small cereals, and black mould of several vegetables. Toxigenic strains of A. carbonarius and ochratoxin A were often found associated with black rot of grapes, whereas toxigenic strains of A. flavus and/or P. verrucosum, forming aflatoxins and ochratoxin A, respectively, were found in moulded plant products from small cereals, peanuts, figs, pea, oilseed rape, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pistachios, and almonds. Finally, toxigenic strains of P. expansum and patulin were frequently found in apple, pear and other fresh fruits affected by blue mould rot, as well as in derived juices and jams.

Plant Viruses Transmitted by Whiteflies

One-hundred and fourteen virus species are transmitted by whiteflies (family Aleyrodidae). Bemisia tabaci transmits 111 of these species while Trialeurodes vaporariorum and T. abutilonia transmit three species each. B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum are present in the European–Mediterranean region, though the former is restricted in its distribution. Of the whitefly-transmitted virus species, 90% belong to the Begomovirus genus, 6% to the Crinivirus genus and the remaining 4% are in the Closterovirus, Ipomovirus or Carlavirus genera. Other named, whitefly-transmitted viruses that have not yet been ranked as species are also documented. The names, abbreviations and synonyms of the whitefly-transmitted viruses are presented in tabulated form together with details of their whitefly vectors, natural hosts and distribution. Entries are also annotated with references. Whitefly-transmitted viruses affecting plants in the European–Mediterranean region have been highlighted in the text.     

The parasitoid complex ofLiriomyza cicerina on chickpea (Cicer arietinum)

Liriomyza cicerina (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is an important pest on chickpea in Turkey. The objective of this study was to determine the parasitoids and rates of parasitism ofL. cicerina on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) during the 2005 and 2006 seasons in ?anl?urfa province, Turkey. Leaves with mines were sampled weekly and kept in the laboratory to observe and count emerging leafminer and parasitoid adults. Eight parasitoid species were collected: the braconidsOpius monilicornis Fischer andOpius tersus Foerster and the eulophidsDiaulinopsis arenaria (Erdös) andNeochrysocharis formosa (Westwood), which occurred in both the winter and summer seasons;Diglyphus crassinervis Erdös,Neochrysocharis ambitiosa Hansson,Neochrysocharis sericea (Erdös) andPediobius metallicus (Nees), which occurred only in the summer growing areas.Diaulinopsis arenaria was the predominant parasitoid with 4–7.7% parasitism rate whileN. ambitiosa andO. monilicornis were the second and third most predominant species. The results of these trials show that sinceDia. arenaria occurred throughout every season, it could potentially be used for control of the leafminerL. cicerina.     

Plant–herbivore asynchrony necessitates augmentative releases of the exotic beetle,Zygogramma bicolorata,to enhance the biological control of P arthenium hysterophorus

Systematic information on the quantitative impact of Z ygogramma bicolorata on the biology of P arthenium hysterophorus is crucial as the seeds of this weed continue to germinate from the accumulated soil seed bank throughout the year in the form of different germinating flushes, while the activity of the beetle ceases during winter as it enters diapause. Therefore, plant–herbivore interactions need to be explored to develop predictions of the overall impact of the introduced beetle on the weed. The findings revealed that defoliation by Z . bicolorata had a significant impact on the plant height, density and flower production in flushes F ₃, F ₄ and F ₅, but not in F ₁ and F ₂ that exhibited longer periodicity, profuse branching, a longer flowering period and maximum flower production and contributed mostly to the existing seed soil bank. Therefore, total depletion of the existing soil seed bank was not possible. Consequently, the effect of augmentative field releases of laboratory‐reared beetles was explored on F ₁ and F ₂ in February for three consecutive years (2011–2013). Before initiating the trial, random soil samples were taken from the plots that were assigned to the paired treatments (i.e. with the beetle and without the beetle [insecticide‐treated]) and it was found that the seed bank in those samples did not differ. The single release of Z . bicolorata adults at five per plant at the six‐leaf stage significantly reduced the soil seed bank, compared to without the biocontrol agent, irrespective of the flushes at the end of the season.     

Broad bean mottle virus in Morocco; curculionid vectors,and natural occurrence in food legumes other than faba bean (Vicia faba)

Broad bean mottle virus (BBMV) was transmitted from infected to healthy faba-bean plants by the curculionid weevilsApion radiolus Kirby,Hypera variabilis Herbst,Pachytychius strumarius Gyll,Smicronyx cyaneus Gyll, andSitona lineatus L. The latter appeared to be an efficient vector: acquisition and inoculation occurred at the first bite, the rate of transmission was c. 41%, and virus retention lasted for at least seven days.S. lineatus transmitted the virus from faba bean to lentil and pea, but not to the three genotypes of chickpea tested. This is the first report on the generaHypera, Pachytychius, andSmicronyx as virus vectors, and onA. radiolus, H. variabilis, P. strumarius, andS. cyaneus as vectors of BBMV.Out of 351 samples of food legumes with symptoms suggestive of virus infection, 16, 11, 19, and 17% of the samples of chickpea, lentil, pea, and common bean, respectively, were found infected when tested for BBMV in DAS-ELISA. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of BBMV in chickpea, lentil, pea, and common bean. The virus should be regarded as a food-legume virus rather than a faba-bean virus solely, and is considered an actual threat to food legume improvement programmes.
