The effect of 35℃ on the amino acid requirement of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

The brown planthopper, N. lugens, is not able to develop well at 35℃. Previous investigation showed that 35℃-treated N. lugens harbored fewer symbionts than untreated ones, and it was suggested that symbiont played an important role in nutritional metabolism. Nevertheless.     

Effect of Rice Volatiles on the Orientation Behavior of the Striped Stem Borer,Chilo suppressalis Larvae

The orientation behavior of the 1st and the 3rd instar larvae of the striped stem borer (SSB), Chilo suppessalis, to the volatiles emitted from rice plants was studied with a Y-tube olfactometer. The treatments included healthy plants vs clean air (HP vs CA), striped stem borer damaged plants vs clean air (SSB-DP vs CA), rice leaf folder damaged plants vs clean air (RLF-DP vs CA), HP vs SSB-DP, HP vs RLF-DP and SSB-DP vs RLF-DP. Volatiles from all rice plants had significant attraction for both of the 1st and the 3rd instar larvae. The orientation selection of larvae to the volatiles from rice plants treated differentially (HP, SSB-DP, and RLF-DP) did not impose any significant influence.     

Virulence of the Populations of the Whitebacked Planthopper, Sogatella furcifera Reared on Different Resistant Rice Varieties

ARC and ND colony were obtained by rearing the whitebacked planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera(Horvath), exclusively on ARC10239 (ARC, carrying resistance gene Wbph2) and N‘Diang Marie (ND, carrying resistance gene WbphS) till 15 generations. Taichung Native 1 (TN1) and Rathu Heenati (RHT) served as susceptible and resistant check, respectively. The results of electronic recording revealed that duration of salivation and X-waveform of the two colonies on their corresponding hosts was short while the duration of phloem ingestion was long. The amount of honeydew excreted by ARC and ND colony did not differ on their corresponding host varieties from TN1 and was much higher than that of RHT. The number of eggs laid on their host varieties and TN1 were significantly higher than that on RHT. No distinct change was observed for these two colonies in term of percentage of developed eggs. The nymph survival rate of ND colony on its selection host was 45.0%, significantly different from that on TN1(71.4%0) and RHT(21.0%), while that of ARCcolony was 68. 3%, not significantly different from that on TN1(77.5%), but much higher than that on RHT(22.6%).The nymphal development duration of these two colonies on the corresponding hosts was not different from that on TN1, but significantly shorter than that on RHT. In brief, these two colonies had almost adapted to their corresponding host varieties based on feeding and oviposition, but the nymphal survival rate of ND colony was still low.

Feasibility of fish culture under the circumstances of growing the rice on the natural water

We studied the feasibility of a new production mode incorporating rice cultivation with fish culture in 1991.

Multiyear analysis of the dependency of the planting date on rainfall and soil moisture in paddy fields in Cambodia, 2003–2019

The dependencies of the planting date on rainfall and soil moisture in paddy fields in Cambodia were analyzed to quantify farmers’ empirical knowledge regarding their decision of the planting date. Remote sensing data from multiple satellites covering the 2003–2019 period were analyzed. The planting dates in rain-fed paddies ranged from April to August, with large spatial variations and year-to-year fluctuations. In years when planting was suppressed in April and May, planting was extensively enhanced in June and August compared to normal years, and vice versa. Over the northeastern side of Tonle Sap Lake and south of Phnom Penh city, the areas planted in April and May were found to have positive correlations with rainfall and soil moisture, suggesting that wetter-than-average conditions encouraged farmers to plant earlier in the season. In contrast, this relationship was unclear on the western side of Tonle Sap Lake, where the rainfall amounts were larger throughout the year than in other areas in Cambodia. In this region, the relationship between the planting area and soil water availability was either unclear or was even slightly negative from June to August. Since more frequent dry spells have been detected after the onset of the rainy season in recent years, further studies and disseminations of potential changes in dry spells are important for the agronomic adaptation of planting dates under climate change.

     

Determination of the Chemical Structures of Tandyukisins B–D,Isolated from a Marine Sponge-Derived Fungus

Tandyukisins B–D (1–3), novel decalin derivatives, have been isolated from a strain of Trichoderma harzianum OUPS-111D-4 originally derived from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai, and their structures have been elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses using 1D and 2D NMR techniques. In addition, their chemical structures were established by chemical transformation. They exhibited weak cytotoxicity, but selective growth inhibition on panel screening using 39 human cancer cell lines.     

The discovery of an Est locus related to the origin, evolution and classification of Asian rice

In the isozyme studies concerning the origin and evolution of Asian rice, Morishima(1990) pointed out that, so far, there have been about 20 isozyme loci related to the differentiation of indica and japonica. In 1990, we discovered another Est locus related to the origin, evolution and classification of Asian rive. Genetic studies revealed that there were 5 multiple alleles on this locus represented 4 isozyme bands,     

Tolerance evaluation of rice varieties to the brown plan-thopper,Nilaparvata lugens feeding

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) (BPH) is one of the most important insect pests of rice in China and other east-southern Asian countries. Utilization of rice resistance varieties is one of the most e-conomic and effective ways for controlling N. lugens . The resistance of rice varieties declined due to the change of BPH biotype. The current resistance screening methods based on biotic reaction also may eliminate numerous rice varieties with high-yielding and/ or good grain quality which were not resistant to BPH but had strong tolerance to BPH.     

Plant opal analysis of the Guangfucun Site in Wujiang City,Jiangsu Province

The Guangfucun Site is located in the west of Taoyuan Town, Wujiang City, the furthest south end of Jiangsu Province. It is a Neolithic site dated to 6055 ± 125BP. The cultural deposits belong to the Majiabang Culture. This paper reported the results of plant opal analysis of the site and discussed the rice type cultivated around the site.
