不同小麦品种对苯磺隆耐药性差异及其机理

室内用砂培法测定11种小麦品种对苯磺隆的相对敏感性,其敏感性有较大差异.碧玛4号、维麦8号对苯磺隆有很强的耐药性,IC50可分别达到502.6和409.3aiμg/kg,济1 3号为156.9aiμg/kg,鲁麦22号、黄县大粒对苯磺隆较为敏感,IC50低于45.0 aiμg/kg.以上5种小麦离体ALS对苯磺隆的敏感性没有明显差异,敏感品种黄县大粒IC50为154.2nmol/L,甚至较维麦8号149.3nmol/L略高.ALS活体试验表明,小麦可以很快恢复苯磺隆对ALS活性的抑制,且耐药型品种恢复能力较强,碧玛4号、维麦8号ALS恢复活性只需1.5天,敏感品种需3天.碧玛4号、维麦8号除草剂解毒酶系GSTs相对于敏感品种对苯磺隆有较大的反应幅度和较短的反应时间,第2天就分别达到1.46、1.42的峰值,而济13号、鲁麦22号、黄县大粒变化幅度较小,第3天才达到峰值,活性分别为1.39、1.33和1.32.研究表明,小麦各品种对苯磺隆的耐药能力产生差异的主要原因之一是小麦GSTs对苯磺隆的代谢所致,而与小麦ALS对苯磺隆的敏感程度无关.     

麦田不同杂草对苯磺隆敏感性差异的分子机制

为了探讨麦田常见杂草对苯磺隆敏感性差异的分子机制,测定了苯磺隆对4种杂草活性及对杂草体内靶标酶(ALS)和代谢酶(GSTs)的影响差异。结果表明,泽漆对苯磺隆的敏感性最低,IC50为123.16gai/hm2;猪殃殃和荠菜次之,分别为8.47、1.07gai/hm2;播娘蒿最敏感,为0.29gai/hm2。离体条件下,苯磺隆对播娘蒿、泽漆ALS的IC50值分别为6.40、54.90mgai/L。活体条件下,苯磺隆处理后,播娘蒿体内ALS活力低于对照,第9天降为对照的31.20%,而敏感性低的泽漆处理后1～2天ALS活力虽略有下降,但第3天明显提高,第4天达到峰值,为对照的2.90倍,此后逐渐恢复至对照水平。4种杂草本身所含GSTs活性存在较大差异,泽漆GSTs活性最高。经苯磺隆处理后,泽漆与猪殃殃GSTs活性明显提高,第4天时达到峰值,相对活性分别为1.23和1.25,并持续在较高水平;而荠菜、播娘蒿GSTs活性虽分别在第3、5天达到峰值,但多数时间相对活性低于1。结果表明,麦田不同杂草体内ALS的敏感性差异和GSTs的代谢差异是对苯磺隆敏感性不同的两个重要原因。     

麦田抗性生物型荠菜对苯磺隆的抗性机制研究

为明确抗性生物型荠菜对苯磺隆的抗性机制,分别测定了苯磺隆对抗性和敏感生物型荠菜体内乙酰乳酸合成酶(ALS)、谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GSTs)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的影响。结果表明:离体条件下,抗性生物型荠菜体内ALS对苯磺隆的敏感性明显降低,苯磺隆对荠菜抗性和敏感生物型ALS的抑制中浓度(I50)分别为0.722 8和0.052 1 μmol/L,抗性与敏感生物型I50的比值为13.87;活体条件下,施用苯磺隆后,抗性和敏感生物型荠菜ALS活性均受到一定程度的抑制,但抗性生物型ALS活性受到抑制后能逐渐恢复,而敏感生物型则不能恢复;经苯磺隆处理后,抗性生物型GSTs相对活力明显高于敏感生物型,而抗性和敏感生物型体内POD、SOD和CAT相对活力无明显差异。研究表明,抗性生物型荠菜体内ALS对苯磺隆敏感性降低是其抗药性产生的原因之一,而GSTs对苯磺隆代谢能力的差异也可能与荠菜对苯磺隆的抗性有关。     

不同棉花品种对三氟啶磺隆的耐药性差异及机制

为评价三氟啶磺隆对棉花的安全性,采用温室盆栽法测定了22种棉花对三氟啶磺隆的耐药性差异及其机制。结果显示,三氟啶磺隆45 g/hm² （有效成分,余同）处理对不同棉花品种苗期鲜重及株高抑制作用差异显著,其中对鲁棉研40、银兴4、K638、创鲁1、德利农5的鲜重和株高抑制率相对较低,分别为8.60%~13.11%和10.26%~11.84%,而对鲁H498、鲁棉研36、鲁棉研28的鲜重和株高抑制率相对较高,分别为32.21%~38.26%和20.68%~22.66%。乙酰乳酸合成酶（ALS）活性测定表明,鲁棉研40、鲁H498离体ALS对三氟啶磺隆的敏感性无显著差异;在活体条件下,两棉花ALS相对活性先减小,后逐渐恢复,且鲁棉研40恢复能力强。经三氟啶磺隆处理后,鲁棉研40谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶（GSTs）变化幅度较鲁H498大且反应时间短,鲁棉研40在处理后3 d达到最大值1.53,鲁H498在处理后5 d达到最大值1.45。研究表明,不同棉花品种对三氟啶磺隆耐药性的差异源于GSTs对三氟啶磺隆的代谢差异,与靶标酶ALS对三氟啶磺隆的敏感程度无关。     

典型光活化毒素α-三噻吩对棉铃虫和亚洲玉米螟谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶的影响

研究了典型光活化毒素α-三噻吩(简称α-T)对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera和亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GSTs)的影响。结果表明:近紫外光照(300~400 nm)对棉铃虫和亚洲玉米螟幼虫GSTs活性无显著影响,但两种昆虫GSTs对α-T的反应不同。无光照条件下,α-T对亚洲玉米螟离体GSTs活性没有影响,而高浓度α-T能抑制棉铃虫离体GSTs活性;高剂量α-T可使两种昆虫活体GSTs活性升高。光照条件下,高浓度和高剂量α-T抑制棉铃虫GSTs活性,而不影响亚洲玉米螟离体GSTs活性,但低剂量α-T抑制其活体活性,而高剂量α-T则诱导其活性增加。棉铃虫和亚洲玉米螟GSTs对α-T反应的差异,可能与它们对药剂的敏感性以及药剂在两者体内的穿透、运转、贮藏、代谢等生理特性上的差异有关。     

不同玉米品种对氯吡嘧磺隆的耐药性差异及其机制

为科学评价氯吡嘧磺隆对玉米的安全性,采用室内盆栽法和酶活力测定法探讨不同玉米品种对氯吡嘧磺隆的耐药性差异及其机制。不同玉米品种对氯吡嘧磺隆的耐药性有较大差异,其中甜玉米耐药性最差,IC10仅为94.87g/hm2(有效成分,余同)。花糯1号、鲁单981、五岳97-1等品种表现出中等耐药性,耐药性倍数为1.51～1.97;五岳21、郑单958、强盛16等耐药性较强,耐药性倍数为2.05～2.43。强盛16、鲁单981和甜玉米对氯吡嘧磺隆的耐药性差异显著,但其靶标酶乙酰乳酸合成酶(ALS)在离体条件下对该药剂的敏感性差异不显著;在活体条件下,三者ALS活力均可很快恢复,且耐药性品种恢复能力较强。与甜玉米相比,经氯吡嘧磺隆处理后强盛16的谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GSTs)对氯吡嘧磺隆的反应幅度较大和反应时间较短,第72h相对活力就达到4.2的峰值,而甜玉米变化幅度相对较小,第96 h才达到2.6的峰值。研究表明,不同玉米品种对氯吡嘧磺隆耐药性的差异源于GSTs对氯吡嘧磺隆的代谢差异,而与靶标酶ALS对氯吡嘧磺隆的敏感程度无关。     

不同小麦品种对双氟磺草胺的耐药性差异及机理

室内采用平皿法和酶活力测定法探讨了不同小麦品种对双氟磺草胺的耐药性差异及其机理。结果表明,不同小麦品种根对双氟磺草胺的耐药性差异较大,其中济宁13对该药剂最为敏感,IC50值仅为0.221 2 μg/mL,烟农15、枣20-28、济南17与之相当(耐药性倍数为1.09~1.99),泰山9818、山农6号和潍麦8号耐药性较强(耐药性倍数为10.33~13.92)。酶活力测定结果表明:虽然耐药型品种潍麦8号和敏感型品种济南17对双氟磺草胺的耐药性差异显著,但其靶标酶乙酰乳酸合成酶(ALS)在离体条件下对该药剂的敏感性却无显著差异;在活体条件下,二者ALS活力均可很快恢复,其中潍麦8号恢复较快。经双氟磺草胺处理后,与济南17相比,潍麦8号的代谢酶谷胱甘肽- S -转移酶(GSTs)相对活力变化幅度较大且反应时间较短,在第2 d即可达到峰值1.460,而济南17在第3 d才达到峰值1.398。研究表明,不同小麦品种对双氟磺草胺的耐药性存在差异 的原因之一可能是由于GSTs对双氟磺草胺的代谢差异,而与靶标酶ALS对药剂的敏感程度无关。     

溴氰菊酯对麦穗鱼谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GSTs)的影响

研究了溴氰菊酯不同浓度、不同处理时间对麦穗鱼体内谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GSTs)活性的影响,同时测定了麦穗鱼不同组织中谷胱甘肽S-转移酶对低浓度溴氰菊酯处理的反应特点。结果表明,处理48 h后,高浓度(0.009 mg/L)组对肝中GSTs活性的抑制率达到43.7％,对鳃中GSTs活性的抑制率达54.3％;而低浓度组(0.001 mg/L)对鳃中GSTs活性有一定的诱导作用。亚致死剂量的溴氰菊酯(3.0×10-4mg/L)处理96 h后,对卵巢的诱导活性最高,其GSTs活性是对照的2.43倍,但对肝、鳃、肾、肠的诱导作用均较低。溴氰菊酯对麦穗鱼不同组织GSTs活性诱导的时间效应和强度不同。     

棉铃虫谷胱甘肽S-转移酶的活性分布和发育期变化及植物次生物质的诱导作用

对棉铃虫 Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GSTs）发育期活性进 行了跟踪测定。从卵期开始，GSTs活性呈上升趋势，6龄幼虫达到最高，然后逐渐下降，但化蛹初期仍维持较高水平；用培养基混药法研究发现，芸香苷和2-十三烷酮诱导种群5龄时 活性即达到峰值。6龄幼虫脂肪体GSTs活性最高，中肠次之，头部和表皮最低。用1-氯-2, 4-二硝基苯（CDNB）作底物时，中肠GSTs的 Km值最小。5龄幼虫中肠匀浆液中，GSTs活性90%以上集中在细胞液层，在微粒体、线粒体和细胞碎片层的分布均不超过5%；芸香苷诱 导种群3龄幼虫微粒体层GSTs活性分布明显比对照种群减少，而上清液层则比对照种群 有所增高。

Richtlinien der Verbände des ökologischen Landbaus zum Vorratsschutz

Zusammenfassung Verbände des ökologischen Landbaus wie z. B. Bioland, Gäa, Demeter; Naturland, Ernte für das Leben oder Bio Suisse beschränken ihre Mitglieder bei der Wahl von Vorratsschutzmaßnahmen. Vorrang besitzen Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung von Schädlingen gegenüber Bekämpfungsmaßnahmen. Fallen müssen zur Befallsüberwachung eingesetzt werden, um einen Befall durch Vorratsschädlinge frühzeitig zu erkennen. Diese Maßnahmen sollen den weitgehenden Verzicht auf chemisch-synthetische Mittel ermöglichen. In diesem Beitrag werden die Empfehlungen der Verbände mit den derzeit verfügbaren chemischen Mitteln für den Vorratsschutz abgeglichen. Erfahrung in der praktischen Umsetzung von physikalischen und biologischen Verfahren werden diskutiert und Defizite bei der Befallsüberwachung und Bekämpfung beschrieben.     

Development of protocols for detection of Colletotrichum acutatum and monitoring of strawberry anthracnose using real-time PCR

Real-time PCR (TaqMan®) assays were developed for the specific detection and discrimination of Colletotrichum spp., C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides causing anthracnose in strawberry using the most divergent area of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) and 5·8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene region. The specificity of the new assays was tested using DNA from six species of Colletotrichum and nine fungal species commonly found associated with strawberry material, and additionally by comparing the sequences with those from databases using a blast search. The sequences only showed identity with homologous sequences from the desired target organisms. The new assays were 10–100 times more sensitive than conventional PCR methods previously published for the diagnosis of strawberry anthracnose. When real-time PCR was compared with ELISA methods, PCR improved the sensitivity of the identification by obtaining positive results for samples of strawberry plant material that tested negative with ELISA. The development of C. acutatum was monitored using artificially infected strawberry crowns from two strawberry cultivars (Camarosa and Ventana) and a real-time PCR assay specific for this species between January and June 2006. The amount of C. acutatum detected using real-time PCR varied significantly by month ( P  < 0·001), but not by cultivar ( P  = 0·394). The new assays were shown to be useful tools for rapid detection and identification of these pathogens and to allow rapid and accurate assessment of the casual agents of anthracnose in strawberry.     

A systematic review of the literature reveals trends and gaps in integrated pest management studies conducted in the United States

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a broad‐based approach for addressing pests that negatively affect human and environmental health and economic profitability. Weeds, insects and disease‐causing pathogens (diseases) are the pests most often associated with IPM. A systematic review, widely used in other scientific disciplines, was employed to determine the most commonly studied IPM topics and summarize the reasons for these trends and the gaps. In a field synopsis of the literature, 1679 relevant published papers were identified and categorized into one of the following five broad areas: IPM and organic (organic), climate change and pests (climate), rural and urban IPM (rural and urban), next‐generation education (education) and advanced production systems (technology). Papers were examined in greater detail for at least one of the three main pests in a systematic review. A majority (85%) of IPM papers have been in the area of rural and urban IPM, primarily addressing agriculture (78%). Professionals, landowners and the general public were the focus of a majority (95%) of IPM papers on education. Technology is an increasing area of focus in the literature. Over the past 40 years, IPM papers have primarily (75%) addressed insects and been limited mostly to rural and urban settings. Climate change, technology and education specific to pest management studies are increasingly being published and will help broaden the focus that could result in increased adoption and development of IPM. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry     

Thermal and hormonal regulation of the dormancy–germination transition in Amaranthus tuberculatus seeds

The transition from seed dormancy to germination is a multi‐step process. However, distinguishing between physiological processes involved in seed dormancy alleviation and those involved in germination has been difficult. We studied the seed dormancy alleviation process in Amaranthus tuberculatus, an important weed species in midwestern USA. Using three A. tuberculatus biotypes that differ in dormancy level, it was determined that stratification reduced seed dormancy from a high to a low level. Temperature alternation alleviated low seed dormancy and triggered germination. Exogenously applied abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA) had no effect on seeds with high dormancy. However, ABA and paclobutrazol (a GA biosynthesis inhibitor) significantly reduced germination of seeds with low dormancy. Hormones could not replace the effects of stratification or temperature alternation on dormancy alleviation. Based on our results, we propose a seed dormancy–germination transition model in which the dormancy of A. tuberculatus seeds is progressively reduced from a high to a low level; but environmental conditions (i.e. stratification) can accelerate the dormancy alleviation process. Under low dormancy levels, the seed is more sensitive to environmental cues that are responsible for removing dormancy and triggering germination (i.e. temperature alternation). Finally, ABA and GA regulation occurs primarily during the final transition from low dormancy to germination rather than the alleviation of high dormancy.     

Description ofPauesia (Pauesia)anatolica (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) sp. nov., a parasitoid of the cedar aphidCinara cedri

The first parasitoid species reared from a population of the cedar aphid,Cinara cedri Mimeur, 1935 (Hemiptera: Aphididae), from the peninsula of Anatolia in Turkey is described.Pauesia anatolica (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) is closely related to some species of thelaricis group ofPauesia from which it differs in the number of antenomers, the propodeum and features of the female genitalia. Its potential use as a natural enemy in areas where the aphid has been introduced is discussed. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Aug. 28, 2005.     

Current statistical issues in Weed Research

The correct design of experimental studies, the selection of the appropriate statistical analysis of data and the efficient presentation of results are key to the good conduct and communication of science. The last Guidance for the use and presentation of statistics in Weed Research was published in 1988. Since then, there have been developments in both the scope of research covered by the journal and in the statistical techniques available. This paper addresses the changes in statistics and provides a reference work that will aid researchers in the design and analysis of their work. It will also provide guidance for editors and reviewers. The paper is organised into sections, which will aid the selection of relevant paragraphs, as we recognise that particular approaches require particular statistical analysis. It also uses examples, questions and checklists, so that non-specialists can work towards the correct approach. Statistics can be complex, so knowing when to seek specialist advice is important. The structure and layout of this contribution should help weed scientists, but it cannot provide a comprehensive guide to every technique. Therefore, we provide references to further reading. We would like to reinforce the idea that statistical methods are not a set of recipes whose mindless application is required by convention; each experiment or study may involve subtleties that these guidelines cannot cover. Nevertheless, we anticipate that this paper will help weed scientists in their initial designs for research, in the analysis of data and in the presentation of results for publication.     

Electrophoretic and serological comparisons of pathogenesis-related (b) proteins from different plant species

Preparations of pathogenesis-related (b) proteins (PRs) from differentNicotiana species, tomato,Gynura aurantiaca, bean, and cowpea were compared to each other and to bean chitinase and a constitutive apple agglutinin by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels both in the absence and in the presence of SDS, and by serological double diffusion analysis using antisera against tobacco PRs and bean chitinase. PRs from different plant genera displayed a similar but not identical range of relative mobilities in both native and SDS gels, whereas bean chitinase and apple agglutinin were clearly different. None of the antisera reacted with any of the PR preparations from plant genera other than the one from which the antigen(s) had been derived. Whilst PRs within the genusNicotiana are serologically related and can be identical, PRs from different plant genera seem to be sufficiently different to be considered as genus-specific.     

Contribution of Biological Control to Integrated Pest Management of Tephritid Fruit Flies in the Tropics and Subtropics

The biological control of pest tephritid flies using parasitoids has been successful in relatively few subtropical and tropical regions. The best documented successes were in Hawaii and Florida, USA, Fiji and southern Europe. There were relatively limited successes in Australia, Costa Rica and Mexico. With the accidental establishment of new pest tephritids, such as Bactrocera latifrons (Hendel) in Hawaii or Bactrocera papayae Drew and Hancock in Australia, foreign exploration for new parasitoids is essential. A renewal of interest in classical biological control has recently occurred, although not at the same level as in the 1940s and 1950s. New parasitoid species are currently being obtained for several tephritids, such as Ceratitis capitata (Weidemann), B. latifrons and Anastrepha suspensa (Loew). The advances in mass rearing and quality control technology for parasitoids has enabled researchers to perform large-scale field testing of these parasitoids to determine the potential of augmentative releases. Numerous studies on the augmentative release of parasitoids have been done. Historically, the larval—pupal parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) has been the most frequently studied parasitoid, due to the ease of rearing this species. However, recent successes in rearing other species with different biologies, e.g. the egg—pupal parasitoid Biosteres arisanus (Sonan), the gregarious eulophid, Tetrastichus giffardianus (Silvestri) and the pupal parasitoid, Coptera sp., will enable researchers to broaden the repertoire of parasitoid species for the future. Both successes and failures in augmentative releases have occurred. Without knowledge of the behavioural ecology of parasitoids, the reasons for success or failure can only be surmised. Recent research on the dispersal and host habitat finding of tephritid parasitoids will provide insights into improving augmentation and conservation strategies. The integrated pest management (IPM) of tephritid flies in the tropics has been less well-developed than research and programmes for tephritids in temperate zones. Significant emphasis is now being placed on the development of quarantine treatment methods that are environmentally sound; thus IPM will take a larger role. Several existing pest management strategies are reviewed which show the potential for compatibility with the activities of tephritid parasitoids. These include trap cropping, insecticides with selective toxicity to the target pests, mass trapping with parapheromones, the sterile insect technique and field sanitation.     

Rapid Identification of Clavibacter michiganensis Subspecies sepedonicus Using Two Primers Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (TP-RAPD) Fingerprints

Twenty strains of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus from different geographic origins and other reference strains of the same and different species, including other potato pathogens, were analysed with a new procedure named TP-RAPD that originates fingerprints of bacterial species. This procedure uses two primers to amplify the 16S rDNA gene. At 45 °C of annealing, the PCR product electrophoresed in agarose gels produced a band pattern that was different in all bacterial species studied as well as in the subspecies of C. michiganensis. All strains of C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus displayed the same TP-RAPD number of pattern. Unlike Gram negative bacteria, Gram positives of high G + C content, such as Clavibacter, produced low bands in TP-RAPD. By using a different set of two primers also based in the 16S rDNA sequence from Escherichia coli a more adequate amplification of Gram positives of high G + C including a greater number of bands was obtained. TP-RAPD patterns using the new set of primers described in this work is a reliable and fast method to identify C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus.
