一种蚜虫持久性传病的长豇豆黄化型病毒

 1983年6月,在南京郊区的长豇豆上采到1株表现植株矮缩症状的C-7病毒分离物。接种试验证明,它不能摩擦接种传病,但可以由豆蚜(Aphis craccivora)、棉蚜(A.gossypii)和桃蚜(Myzus persicae)以持久性方式传病。寄主范围测定的结果表明:分离物可以侵染长豇豆、豇豆、蚕豆、大豆、菜豆、豌豆、赤豆、利马豆、苜蓿、红三叶、地三叶、绛三叶、葫芦巴,紫云英和苕子等15种豆科植物和曼陀罗1种茄科植物。这些植物大都出现植株矮化,叶片扭曲,卷缩或僵缩,不能开花结实等症状。豆蚜的传病性状中,获毒饲育的最短传病时间为3小时,接毒饲育最短传病时间为10分钟,循回期是24小时左右。但是,传病率最高的获毒饲育时间是2~3天,接毒饲育时间在1天以上。接种1头蚜虫就具有传病能力,5头蚜虫能达到100%的传病率。蚜虫可以终身传毒,蜕皮不影响其传毒力,但传毒有间歇性。根据它的基本性状,病毒C-7分离物是一种豆科植物的黄化型病毒,可能是属于大麦黄矮病毒组(Luteovirus Group)的成员。     

Effect of temperature, vector life stage, and plant access period on transmission of banana bunchy top virus to banana

The study of the transmission biology of insect-borne plant viruses is important to develop disease control practices. We characterized the transmission of a nanovirus, Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV), by its aphid vector Pentalonia nigronervosa Coquerel (Hemiptera, Aphididae) with respect to temperature, vector life stage, and plant access time. Adult aphids transmitted BBTV more efficiently than third instar nymphs at all temperatures tested. Adult aphids transmitted the virus more efficiently at 25 and 30 degrees C than at 20 degrees C, but temperature had no impact on transmission efficiency by nymphs. By decoupling the relationship between temperature and aphid BBTV acquisition or inoculation, we determined that temperature affected inoculation events more strongly than acquisition. Longer plant access periods increased viral acquisition and inoculation efficiencies in a range of 60 min to 24 h. Both BBTV acquisition and inoculation efficiencies peaked after 18 h of plant access period. We also show that BBTV transmission by P. nigronervosa requires a latent period. Our results demonstrate that vector transmission of BBTV is affected by temperature, vector life stage, and plant access period.     

水稻锯齿叶矮缩病毒抗血清的制备及其应用

 采用人工接种发病的水稻锯齿叶矮缩病株茎叶的榨出液,以低速离心(4000rpm)结合聚乙二醇(PEG)的方法所得部分提纯的病毒,进行家兔免疫注射制备抗血清,结果以注射后3~4周的效价最高,可达1:4096,α-最适比值为1:13。应用这种方法制备成的水稻锯齿叶矮缩病毒(RRSV)的抗血清,进行了水稻矮缩病毒(RDV)病株与RRSV病株的鉴别诊断和RRSV毒源寄主的检测。结果证明,具卷叶、缺刻的RDV病株确非RRSV复合感染所致。毒源寄主测定表明,在供试的7种田间常见杂草中,有5种表现为阳性反应;经生物学回接证实,5种中有蟋蟀草、水蜈蚣和游草3种能成功地将RRSV传给水稻而引起发病。     

The genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Luteovirus</Emphasis> from infection to disease

Luteoviruses are economically important plant viruses. Specifically, barley yellow dwarf virus is epiphytotic to almost all small-grain cereal growing areas. The disease cycle is complex. This luteovirus has evolved several intelligent mechanisms to communicate with both plant and phloem-feeding insect-vector aphid. Environmental cues influence disease severity, aphid infestation and viral load. Within an aphid, virus circulates persistently in a non-propagative manner and is transmitted selectively to the host plants. Selection of viruses within aphids has a role in virus isolate prevalence over a specific area. In the host-plant system, the virus has to release its single sense-strand RNA genome (approx. 5.6 to 6 kb), translate and subsequently replicate its genome using its own replicase and host machinery. This review summarizes our current understanding of disease epidemiology and reviews the current literature encompassing viral infectivity, economic impact and control measures.     

Virus transmission by aphids in potato crops

This paper reviews the contribution of vector activity and plant age to virus spread in potato crops. Determining which aphid species are vectors is particularly important for timing haulm destruction to minimize tuber infection by potato virus Y (PVY). Alate aphids of more than 30 species transmit PVY, and aphids such asRhopalosiphum padi, that migrate in large numbers before flights of the more efficient vector,Myzus persicae, appear to be important vectors. Differences in methodology, aphid biotypes and virus strains prevent direct comparisons between estimates of vector efficiencies obtained for aphids in different countries in north western Europe. M. persicae is also the most efficient vector of potato leafroll virus (PLRV), but some clones ofMacrosiphum euphorbiae transmit PLRV efficiently toNicotiana clevelandii and potato test plants. The removal of infected plants early in the season prevents the spread of PLRV in cool regions with limited vector activity. The proportion of aphids acquiring PLRV from infected potato plants decreases with plant age, and healthy potato plants are more resistant to infection later in the season. Severe symptoms of secondary leafroll developed on progeny plants of cv. Maris Piper derived from mother plants inoculated with PLRV in June or July of the previous year. Progeny plants derived from mother plants inoculated in August showed only mild symptoms, but the concentration of PLRV in these plants was as high as that in the plants with severe symptoms.     

人工饲料条件下大麦黄矮病毒GAV株系对麦长管蚜种群适合度的直接影响

植物病毒与介体蚜虫存在复杂的互作关系。前人关于植物病毒对蚜虫调控作用的研究主要集中在植物病毒通过寄主植物对蚜虫的间接影响上,未见植物病毒对介体蚜虫适合度直接调控的报道。鉴于此,我们以麦长管蚜Sitobion miscanthi (Takahashi)为试虫,以其传播的大麦黄矮病毒-GAV(Barley yellow dwarf virus GAV,BYDV-GAV)为测试病毒,以全纯人工饲料加入BYDV-GAV病毒提取液饲养麦长管蚜4 d,使之在不接触寄主植物条件下获毒,然后分别在全纯人工饲料和无毒小麦叶片上继续饲养,直至死亡。利用生命表技术分析麦长管蚜生长发育和繁殖参数。研究结果表明:在无毒小麦叶片饲养条件下,与未获毒对照麦长管蚜相比,获毒后麦长管蚜生活史参数成虫历期和产仔天数显著降低,繁殖力显著增加;种群参数内禀增长率、净繁殖率、周限增长率显著增加,平均世代周期显著降低。在全纯人工饲料条件下,与未获毒对照相比,获毒后麦长管蚜仅成虫历期和产仔天数显著下降,而其他生活史参数及种群参数均无显著差异。说明BYDV-GAV使得介体麦长管蚜在小麦叶片上的适合度显著提高,这是由麦长管蚜与寄主植物互作引起的,而病毒对介体麦长管蚜的适合度无直接调控作用。     

蚜虫传播非持久性病毒的取食行为调控机制

蚜虫能够传播上百种植物病毒,是最重要的农业介体昆虫之一。蚜虫在刺探和取食植物过程中,唾液组分会连同附着在口针中的病毒粒子一同被分泌进入植物内,在调节植物诱导抗性、病毒侵染扩散、介体昆虫行为等过程中均有重要作用。本文围绕蚜虫传播病毒和获取病毒2个关键过程,总结分析了蚜虫独特的刺吸取食行为与传毒效率和获毒效率之间的联系;针对取食活动中关键的唾液蛋白在调控植物免疫抗性、帮助病毒侵染过程中的功能,阐述了蚜虫高效传播非持久病毒的分子基础;针对蚜虫的获毒过程,综述了病毒侵染植物间接调控蚜虫趋向和行为的作用方式。这些研究的开展将为解释蚜虫和病毒协同侵染的分子机制以及有效开展基于蚜虫取食行为调控的病虫害防控新技术提供思路。

Use of insect antifeedants against aphid vectors of plant virus disease

The probing and feeding behaviour of aphids can result in uptake of viruses from infected plants and subsequent transmission to healthy plants. It is possible to interfere with virus acquisition and transmission by influencing aphid host-selection and feeding behaviour with antifeedant chemicals. Published work is reviewed and new work is presented in this paper. The two most successful classes of antifeedants against aphids are (a) compounds derived from the aphid alarm pheromone and (b) plant-derived antifeedants such as the sesquiterpene (-)-polygodial. Results with these and other compounds are discussed in terms of antifeedant activity against Myzus persicae, their effects on resistant aphids and the evidence for dec?ease in virus spread by aphids in laboratory and field.     

The effect of potato leafroll virus on the biology of Myzus persicae

Since potato leafroll virus multiplies in the green peach aphid,Myzus persicae, the effect of the virus on the biology of its vector was investigated. Observations were made regarding the longevity and the reproduction rate of viruliferous and non-viruliferous aphids on leafroll-diseased and healthy plants ofPhysalis floridana. The same matters were investigated for both viruliferous and non-viruliferous aphids on seedlings of Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis). It was shown that on leafroll-diseased plants ofP. floridana the aphids produced more progeny than on healthy ones, although the average number of progeny produced per day in both cases was almost the same. On healthy Chinese cabbage seedlings there was no difference in average length of the larval and adult stages, number of progeny per aphid, and number of progeny per day, between viruliferous and non-viruliferous aphids. Evidence was obtained that the virus does not influence the development of its vector. Measurements of oxygen consumption of both viruliferous and non-viruliferous aphids point in the same direction.     

Spread of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sugarcane yellow leaf virus</Emphasis> in initially disease-free sugarcane is linked to rainfall and host resistance in the humid tropical environment of Guadeloupe

Sugarcane yellow leaf virus, the causal agent of yellow leaf, is transmitted from plant to plant by aphids. Understanding and evaluating the epidemic risks due to spread of yellow leaf by aphids is an important feature for sugarcane production. Four distinct sugarcane trials were set up with disease-free plants to study the relationship between spread of yellow leaf, the vector dynamics and environmental conditions that may favour yellow leaf epidemics. The study was performed by surveys of vector populations and determination of plant infections. Sugarcane cultivar SP71-6163, highly susceptible to yellow leaf, was analyzed spatially at different dates in all four trials and compared to commercial cultivars in two of the four trials. These surveys allowed us to identify a correlation between the aphid dynamics in the field and yellow leaf progress. Additionally, a negative correlation was found between rainfall during the first weeks after transferring sugarcane plants to the field and aphid dispersal within the field. This later result revealed an impact of rainfall on aphid invasion and subsequent plant infection by SCYLV. If aphids are the key factor for disease spread, plant response varied also according to cultivar resistance with high variation depending on rain conditions.     

The effects of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gibberella zeae</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus</Emphasis>, and co-infection on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhopalosiphum padi</Emphasis> olfactory preference and performance

Insect-borne viruses promote several changes in plant phenotype, which can modify plant-vector interactions in favor of virus survival and dissemination. Although co-infections commonly occur in the field, little is known about their effects on interactions with the vector. The ecological interactions between Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) and its aphid vector, Rhopalosiphum padi, have been investigated extensively, but the vector’s behavior in more complex scenarios has yet to be examined. We assessed olfactory response and performance of R. padi to wheat singly and doubly infected by the pathogenic fungus Giberella zeae and BYDV. Non-viruliferous aphids preferred odors of BYDV-infected wheat over healthy wheat, as previously reported in the literature, and they were still preferentially attracted to BYDV-infected plant during co-infection. However, around 35% more non-viruliferous aphids chose healthy wheat over G. zeae-infected wheat. Viruliferous aphids did not show any preference to the treatments. BYDV-infected wheat was a superior host than healthy wheat for the aphids whose population increased in 25%. We observed a synergistic effect of the co-infected wheat, which was the best host for aphids, and promoted an elevation of 42% on population growth. Our results indicate that co-infection might be beneficial for virus spread as does not interfere with aphid olfactory preference and provides greater colony growth than in singly infected plants.     

台湾75毛豆病毒病防治技术研究

研究表明,台湾75毛豆病毒病主要由蚜虫传毒而致,其发生与蚜虫的成虫迁飞时间与发生量关系极为密切.若成虫高峰正遇毛豆1、2叶展平期,毛豆上落蚜量大,发生就重.所以早播的重于迟播的,露地栽培重于套播的.防治上应以栽培避蚜为主,药剂防治为辅,才可取得理想效果.

Reducing the spread of aphid-transmitted viruses in peppers by coarse-net cover

Spread of the aphid-transmitted cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and potato virus Y (PVY) in pepper plots was markedly reduced by growing the plants under a white coarse-net cover permitting normal development of the plants. This net also reduced the winged aphid population on the plants by more than 40 times. Light grey and yellow nets also reduced virus spread and aphid populations, but were much less effective than white ones. The nets do not act as a mechanical barrier to aphids. It is suggested that under white and grey netting, aphid repellency and microclimatic conditions are the primary causes of virus check, while the controlling effect of the yellow nets may be explained by their being more attractive to aphids than the plants. A reduction of “background effect” and a limiting of the aphids’ vision range by nets are probably other factors involved in the protective mechanism.     

Transmission of barley yellow dwarf virus by cereal aphids collected from different habitats on cereal farms

Cereal aphids were collected from cereal crops, from Poa annua within cereal fields, from Lolium perenne pastures and from wild grasses in hedge bottoms and around farm buildings. The frequency of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) transmission was assessed by aphid transmission tests. There were differences in transmission rates between aphid species, between host species and between years. The transmission rates of Rhopalosiphum padi from the different host species were broadly similar whereas for Sitobion avenae, P. annua within cereal fields was significantly better than the other host species. Wild grasses other than P. annua were relatively poor sources of virus. A large percentage of aphids frequently transmitted more than one strain, suggesting that host plants are often infected with more than one BYDV strain.     

Progress in aphid forecasting systems

Potato virus Y and many other viruses of potatoes cause major economic losses to seed potato production in many countries. Potato virus Y, which is transmitted in a non-persistent manner, is one of the most important virus diseases of potatoes in many countries in Europe and especially in the northern regions.During the last decade there has been an increasing interest in developing methods for potato virus forecasting. The abundance of virus vectors is often estimated by yellow water traps (YWT), suction traps or field surveys. In Sweden the relationship between occurrence of alate aphids and the proportion of PVY infected progeny tubers has been studied since 1975. A dynamic simulation model for PVY has been designed for predicting the incidence of PVY. The simulation model describes a system which includes e.g., healthy and PVY diseased potato plants, different aphid species as virus vectors an their efficiency as virus vectors, the susceptibility of the potato crop according to mature plant resistance and date of haulm destruction. There was a good correlation between model output and samples of progeny tubers tested for PVY.
