草地贪夜蛾在江西省南昌市的越冬与低温驯化

为明确迁飞性害虫草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda的越冬范围与潜在扩散区,通过调查野外越冬种群及模拟越冬试验分析草地贪夜蛾在江西省南昌市越冬的可能性及其相应的越冬虫态,并通过低温驯化探究草地贪夜蛾对低温的适应性进化能力。结果表明,在江西省南昌市,进入冬季后草地贪夜蛾蛹和3龄幼虫的存活时间较长,可能为草地贪夜蛾的越冬虫态;3龄幼虫可从12月初存活至第2年1月底至2月初,但无法越过完整冬天;前期的低温驯化会显著提高草地贪夜蛾3龄幼虫和6龄幼虫在极端低温（-8℃处理2 h）下的存活率,并显著缩短其在经历0℃处理12 h后的冷昏迷恢复时间,证明其具有低温驯化能力及扩散至较冷地区越冬的潜力,江西省南昌市及相近等温带可能会成为草地贪夜蛾的冬繁区。     

Cytokinin, auxin, and abscisic acid dynamics during flower development in white and red currants infected with Blackcurrant reversion virus

Blackcurrant reversion virus (BRV) infection, characteristic by flower malformation, resulted at the early flower stage in elevated levels of bioactive cytokinins and their biosynthetic precursors in flowers of white currant ‘Blanka’ and red currant ‘Vitan’. In healthy flowers, flower-to-berry transition was accompanied by an increase in bioactive cytokinins that was not observed in infected flowers, which were incapable of further development. Auxin levels increased during flower development, in ‘Vitan’ only in flowers with normal morphology (both healthy and infected). BRV infection did not have a significant effect on cytokinin or auxin levels in the leaves of either cultivar, it coincided with a mild elevation in the content of abscisic acid in the flowers of both cultivars.
