钾肥与吲哚-3-乙酸共同作用对小麦-麦长管蚜-短翅蚜小蜂三级营养关系的影响

为明确钾肥和吲哚-3-乙酸(IAA)的相互作用对调控小麦-麦长管蚜-短翅蚜小蜂载体植物系统内3个营养级生长发育的影响,通过外源浇灌含223.5、447和894 mg/L KCl的Hoagland营养液和喷施0、50、150和250 mg/L IAA溶液的组合,研究了其对小麦叶片各生理指标、麦长管蚜体重差及体内代谢酶活力、短翅蚜小蜂体长及体内代谢酶活力的影响。结果表明,不同KCl和IAA组合对3个营养级的影响差异显著。447 mg/L KCl与150 mg/L IAA处理下的小麦叶面积最大,为9.57±0.16 cm²;223.5 mg/L KCl与50、250 mg/L IAA处理组的叶片含水量最高,达89.69%;叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量最高的处理组是447 mg/L KCl与250 mg/L IAA;麦长管蚜体重增长最多及短翅蚜小蜂体长最长的处理组均为447 mg/L KCl与50 mg/L IAA;各处理组对3个营养级酶活水平的影响程度不同。KCl和IAA在多个指标中表现出交互效应,表明选用合适的组合不仅能饲养出优异的适宜繁殖寄生蜂的替代寄主,还可最大限度地培养优秀蜂源。     

Evaluation of regulatory influence of four plant growth regulators on the reproductive potential and longevity of melon fruit fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae)

The topical treatment given to freshly emerged (0–1-day-old) male and female adults ofBactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), a serious pest of cucurbit crops in tropical countries, with 25, 125, 625 and 3125 ppm concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA₃), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), kinetin and coumarin showed a significant adverse influence on the reproductive potential of this fruit fly. The assessment for reproductive potential was made on the basis of reduction in fecundity and fertility of laid eggs and measured as sterility in females and shortening of the longevity,i.e. ovipositional phase. The strongest influence was with kinetin, followed closely by coumarin, then GA₃ and lastly with IAA treatments. It was concluded that although these compounds demonstrate their activities differently in plants and might be following a different mode of action in insects, they ultimately influence the reproductive potential of this insect.     

Indole-3-acetic acid biosynthesis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aciculosporium take</Emphasis>, a causal agent of witches' broom of bamboo

 Aciculosporium take (Ascomycota; Clavicipitaceae) is a causal agent of witches' broom of bamboo plants. The symptoms of this disease are believed to be induced by plant hormones, particularly auxins. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was identified in cultures of this fungus in an l-tryptophan-supplemented liquid medium. IAA production was confirmed on 30 isolates of A. take from various hosts and locations at levels up to 1 mg/l. The biosynthetic pathway of IAA in A. take culture was examined by analyzing intermediate products and by feeding experiments. The results showed that the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway (l-tryptophan → indole-3-pyruvic acid → indole acetaldehyde → IAA) was the dominant pathway in A. take.
