氯虫苯甲酰胺对小菜蛾亚致死效应的研究

探讨亚致死剂量氯虫苯甲酰胺对小菜蛾2、3龄幼虫的亚致死效应,为氯虫苯甲酰胺的合理使用提供依据。采用药膜法确定氯虫苯甲酰胺对小菜蛾2龄和3龄幼虫的亚致死剂量(LC25、LC40),以试虫死亡率、取食量、化蛹时间、蛹重、羽化率为指标研究其对小菜蛾的亚致死效应。与对照相比,亚致死剂量氯虫苯甲酰胺处理的小菜蛾除死亡率显著增高外,幼虫生长明显受到抑制,幼虫至化蛹平均历期显著延长,取食量、蛹重和化蛹率明显降低。结果表明亚致死剂量氯虫苯甲酰胺对小菜蛾种群增长有一定抑制作用,对小菜蛾综合防治策略的制定有积极意义。     

高效氯氰菊酯对小菜蛾阿维菌素抗性、敏感种群的亚致死效应

在实验室条件下研究了高效氯氰菊酯亚致死剂量LC10(43.44mg/L)(小菜蛾阿维菌素抗性种群)和LC10(12.61mg/L)(敏感种群)对小菜蛾阿维菌素抗性(AV-R)、敏感(AV-S)种群的亚致死效应。结果表明:高效氯氰菊酯亚致死剂量12.61mg/L处理小菜蛾阿维菌素敏感、抗性种群3龄幼虫后,处理组AV-S(SLC10)和AV-R(SLC10)的化蛹率、羽化率显著低于AV-S(ck)对照组,与AV-R(ck)对照组无显著性差异;用高效氯氰菊酯亚致死剂量43.44mg/L处理抗性种群3龄幼虫后,其处理组AV-R(RLC10)的化蛹率、蛹重、羽化率都显著低于对照组。AV-S(SLC10)组的单雌产卵量为176.45±36.11粒,显著高于对照组和处理的抗性种群,AV-R(SLC10)和AV-R(RLC10)组的单雌产卵量与对照组间无显著性差异,AV-S(SLC10)和AV-R(RLC10)组的产卵期明显缩短。AV-S(SLC10)组的内禀增长率(rm)、周限增长率(λ)和净增殖率(R0),显著高于对照和处理的抗性种群。结果表明高效氯氰菊酯亚致死剂量对小菜蛾阿维菌素敏感种群具有一定的刺激增殖作用。     

小菜蛾越冬生物学特性研究

研究了小菜蛾不同虫态的过冷却点,蛹的低温生存能力和越冬能力。小菜蛾的过冷却现象比较明显,蛹期过冷却点最低(-20.12℃),成虫次之(-16.56℃),幼虫期高(平均为-13.72℃),其中4龄幼虫过冷却点最高(-8.5℃)。表明在不同虫态中,蛹的抗低温能力最强。在-10、-5、0℃和5℃条件下,小菜蛾蛹的LT50、LT90、LT99.9随着温度的降低而缩短;蛹死亡99.9%需要的时间分别为10.29、21.68、27.77、41.39d,表明在冬季温度连续低于0℃时间超过28d的地区,小菜蛾不能越冬。连续两年冬天的埋蛹试验结果,蛹在北京4个地点的越冬死亡率均为100%。结合我国的气候区划分析,初步确定小菜蛾在北京地区野外不能越冬。

Effect of antifeedants on the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and its parasitoid Cotesia plutellae

Two neem preparations and the bitter‐tasting synthetic chemical denatonium benzoate were tested in the laboratory as antifeedants against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. The effects of the three materials on Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov), a hymenopteran parasitoid of ­P xylostella, were also recorded. All three materials significantly reduced the food consumption of ­P xylostella larvae. Parasitoid cocoons were formed on approximately half of those larvae which had been exposed to female C plutellae, regardless of antifeedant treatment, but emergence of adult parasitoids from the cocoons was significantly reduced by antifeedant treatment. In terms of food consumption and mortality of unparasitised P xylostella larvae, and emergence of adult C plutellae, the effect of each antifeedant preparation was directly related to the concentration of material used, but the effects of the neem preparations were greater than those of denatonium benzoate. However, no adult P xylostella emerged on any antifeedant treatment, therefore some of the parasitoids survived antifeedant treatments which were fatal to the unparasitised hosts. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Rapid report acetamiprid resistance and cross-resistance in the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella

A 110-fold acetamiprid-resistant Plutella xylostella (L) strain was established after four selection experiments (in five generations) on a 9.5-fold resistant colony in the laboratory. The resistant strain did not show cross-resistance to chlorfluazuron or Bacillus thuringiensis subsp kurstaki Berliner, but displayed low resistance to cartap and phenthoate.     

Insecticidal action of mammalian galectin‐1 against diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella)

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed that mammalian galectin‐1 (GAL1) could interact with chitosan or chitin, one component of the peritrophic membrane (PM). This finding suggests that the PM could be a target of GAL1, which prompted the authors to explore the effect of GAL1 on larval growth and its potential mechanism. RESULTS: The development of Plutella xylostella (L.) larvae was significantly disturbed after they were fed recombinant GAL1. The histochemical structure and immunostaining pattern suggested that GAL1 treatment resulted in dose‐ and time‐dependent disruption of the microvilli and abnormalities in these epithelial cells. Ultrastructural studies showed that the PM was not present in the midgut of GAL1‐treated insects; instead, numerous bacteria were found in the lumen area. These results indicate that the protective function of the PM was disrupted by GAL1 treatment. Moreover, in vitro data showed that GAL1 interacts with chitosan/chitin in a dose‐dependent manner, and also specifically binds to the PM in vitro. CONCLUSION: In view of the fact that the carbohydrate recognition domain of GAL1 recognises the structural motif N‐acetyl lactosamine (Gal β 1–4 GlcNAc), which is similar to that of chitin (β‐1,4 N‐acetyl‐D ‐glucosamine), it is proposed that the insecticidal mechanism of GAL1 involves direct binding with chitin to interfere with the structure of the PM.

Testing and improving the effectiveness of trap crops for management of the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (L.): a laboratory‐based study

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) as a trap crop for diamondback moth [Plutella xylostella (L.)] on cauliflower [Brassica oleracea (L.) var. Lateman]. Moth behaviour on these plants and the importance of plant age and size in maintaining pest preference for trap crop plants were also investigated. RESULTS: Three times as many eggs were laid on cauliflower plants that were unprotected than on plants protected by a trap crop of white mustard. Moths remained longer on the mustard plants as a result of a doubling in the mean duration of information‐providing behaviours. Plant age had little effect on P. xylostella host preference. When plant age was constant, percentage oviposition on mustard was higher when these were larger (93%) than copresented cauliflower plants, compared with when they were smaller (68%). CONCLUSION: Trap cropping with white mustard may reduce the incidence of P. xylostella in cauliflower crops. The pest management benefits of trap crops may be maximised by using trap crop plants that are larger than the main crop plants, although relatively smaller trap crop plants may still be preferred as hosts for P. xylostella per se.

Cloning,characterisation and expression profiling of the cDNA encoding the ryanodine receptor in diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

BACKGROUND: The rynodine receptors (RyRs) are the main targets of diamide insecticides such as chlorantraniliprole. To provide the basis for a good understanding of the molecular mechanisms of diamide insecticide resistance, an RyR gene from Plutella xylostella was cloned and characterised in the present paper. RESULTS: A full‐length cDNA sequence of RyR was cloned from P. xylostella through RT‐PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The gene (named PxRyR1) is 15 753 bp long, with an open reading frame of 15 354 bp, encoding a predicted RyR of 5117 amino acids. An alternative splicing of the PxRyR1 was also cloned and named PxRyR2. The PxRyR1 shares 77–93% identity with other insect RyRs. Quantitative real‐time PCR analysis showed that the PxRyR was expressed at a high level in second‐instar larvae and adults, at a low level in prepupae and pupae and abundantly in the body wall muscle and head (respectively 6.00 and 3.12 times the expression in the gut). Western blot analysis with anti‐RyR antibodies showed that the RyR was mainly present in the body wall muscle and head, but barely present in the haemocyte and gut. CONCLUSIONS: There are at least two alternative splices of PxRyR expressed in all developmental stages and tissues in P. xylostella at various levels. The results provided the basis for further understanding of the mechanisms of resistance to diamide insecticides in P. xylostella. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry

Efficacy of crude seed extracts of Annona squamosa against diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella L. in the greenhouse

Experiments were conducted to assess the efficacy of crude seed extracts of Annona squamosa collected from Ambon (Maluku, Indonesia) against larvae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., feeding on cabbage. Three greenhouse trials were carried out using aqueous seed extracts and an aqueous emulsion of ethanolic seed extracts. At a concentration of 0.5% (w/v), an aqueous emulsion of an ethanolic seed extract was 2.5 fold more effective than 1% rotenone, a commercial botanical insecticide. Crude aqueous seed extracts showed efficacy comparable to pyrethrum, the most widely used botanical insecticide. Seed extract of A. squamosa is a promising candidate for development as a simple botanical insecticide for local use in rural Indonesia.     

Cross-resistance patterns and fitness in fufenozide-resistant diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

BACKGROUND: Fufenozide is a novel non‐steroidal ecdysone agonist with good efficacy against diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). At present, it is widely applied for the control of a range of lepidopterous pests in China. This study compared the activities of fufenozide and 12 other insecticides against unselected and fufenozide‐selected strains of DBM to examine potential patterns of cross‐resistance. The relative fitness of the fufenozide‐selected strain was assessed to provide information pertinent to insecticide resistance management. RESULTS: Compared with the susceptible strain (JSS), the fufenozide‐resistant strain (JSR) showed high cross‐resistance to dibenzoylhydrazines and benzoylphenylureas, low cross‐resistance to abamectin and no cross‐resistance to organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids. JSR had a lower reproductive ability and a relative fitness of 0.5 compared with JSS. CONCLUSION: P. xylostella has the potential to develop resistance to fufenozide, albeit at the expense of fitness. Cross‐resistance between the same and other classes of insecticides is of concern, and should be a key consideration when implementing fufenozide‐based control strategies for this species.

嗜线虫致病杆菌与七种杀虫剂混配对小菜蛾毒杀增效作用评价

采用浸叶法测定了嗜线虫致病杆菌Xenorhabdus nematophila HB310(Xn HB310)与7种常用杀虫剂混配后对小菜蛾3龄幼虫的毒杀增效作用,并对具有增效作用的混配组合进行了最佳配比的筛选和增效作用的评价。结果显示,Xn HB310仅与氯氰菊酯混配表现出明显的增效作用,协同毒力指数(cf)为30.9;当Xn HB310与氯氰菊酯质量比在1006.4∶2.6～816∶4之间时,混配药剂均表现为增效作用;当两种药剂的质量比为952∶3时,增效作用最强,此时的共毒系数最高为335。Xn HB310与乐斯本、吡虫啉或甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐(甲维盐)混配均表现为相加作用,cf值分别为9.6、-6.9和-18.6,Xn HB310与菜喜、灭幼脲或阿维菌素混配则表现出明显的拮抗作用,cf值分别为-48.4、-24.9和-57.1。     

Effect of partial plant resistance in brassicas on tolerance of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) larvae to cypermethrin

Brassica cultivars with varying degrees of partial plant resistance were fed to larvae (up to 4th instar) of the diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, and were bioassayed by topical application of cypermethrin to investigate the interaction of plant resistance with insecticide. Larvae reared on the least preferred brassica, Minicole, showed a significantly higher LD₅₀ value than those on the most preferred brassica, Chinese cabbage. Bioassay of 4th instar DBM larvae fed on artificial diet containing pure compounds of glucosinolates revealed a negative interaction between their susceptibility to cypermethin and certain glucosinolates (in particular sinigrin), suggesting that such compounds induced the production of insecticide-detoxifying enzymes.     

Sublethal effects of larval exposure to indoxacarb on reproductive activities of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Sublethal effects of larval exposure to indoxacarb on reproductive activities of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) were studied. The third instar male and female larvae of the diamondback moth were fed with collard leaves dipped with a lethal dose of 20% mortality of indoxacarb in order to determine its impact on reproductive activities of adult survivors. Females from indoxacarb treatment had similar peak calling percentage (100%) and mean calling hours (5.83 ± 0.47 h) compared to control females (92% of peak calling, 5.05 ± 0.55 h of mean calling hours) at the first scotophase, but had slightly lower peak calling percentages and shorter calling hours at the subsequent scotophases. The sex pheromone blend or single component from the blend for P. xylostella elicited similar electroantennography responses compared with those from control males and indoxacarb-treated male survivors. Indoxacarb did not alter the number of eggs produced per female and female longevity. However, larval treatment of males with indoxacarb showed a decreased copulation success rate, and this effect was not observed in identically treated female survivors.
