烯酰吗啉对番茄晚疫病菌的抑制活性

采用生长速率法测定了烯酰吗啉对番茄晚疫病菌菌丝生长的影响,采用载玻片法测定了其对病菌游动孢子囊的产生、游动孢子的释放及对游动孢子的静止和完整性的影响。结果表明,烯酰吗啉对番茄晚疫病菌的菌丝生长及孢子囊的产生具有极强的抑制作用,其EC₅₀分别是0.37、0.074μg/mL,但对游动孢子释放的抑制作用较弱,EC₅₀是52.63μg/mL,显微镜下观察烯酰吗啉对游动孢子的静止没有影响,但当浓度为5μg/mL时即能完全破坏游动孢子。     

知母提取物对马铃薯晚疫病菌的抑制作用及防病效果

 本研究测试了知母提取物对马铃薯晚疫病菌菌丝生长、游动孢子释放、休止孢萌发和孢子囊直接萌发的抑制作用。结果表明,知母的水提取物对菌丝生长、游动孢子释放和休止孢萌发的抑制中浓度分别为1.91mg/mL、1.23mg/mL和1.04mg/mL;对孢子囊直接萌发也具一定的抑制作用,在10.00mg/mL浓度下,抑制率达72.89%。离体叶片测试发现,浓度高于0.5%的知母提取物对马铃薯晚疫病具有显著的防治效果。盆栽植株测试结果表明,1%的知母提取物对马铃薯晚疫病的保护效果达70%以上,防效优于离体叶片试验结果,且持效期可达5d。2%和1%的知母提取物对马铃薯晚疫病的治疗效果不明显。     

霜脲氰和代森锰锌对马铃薯晚疫病菌的离体活性及混合增效作用

测定霜脲氰、代森锰锌对马铃薯晚疫病菌不同生长发育阶段的毒力,发现霜脲氰抑制马铃薯晚疫病菌菌丝生长的活性明显高于代森锰锌,抑制孢子囊和游动孢子萌发及孢子囊释放游动孢子的活性明显低于代森锰锌;两药抑制游动孢子游动的活性很低。以1∶7、1∶8混配对游动孢子萌发及菌丝生长的抑制表现增效,以1∶1~1∶10混配对抑制孢子囊萌发的增效系数为1.55~5.39,其中1∶5的增效系数高达5.39。     

四种化合物诱导马铃薯抗晚疫病的效果及其相关防御基因表达分析

为探究水杨酸、壳聚糖、麦角甾醇和纤维二糖4种化合物诱导马铃薯抗晚疫病的效果及其作用机理,采用整株喷雾法、挑战接种法、菌丝生长速率法分析4种化合物对马铃薯晚疫病的预防作用及对其病原菌致病疫霉Phytophthora infestans的离体抑制效果,利用实时荧光定量PCR技术测定4种化合物诱导后马铃薯病程相关蛋白和防御酶基因的调控表达情况。结果显示,水杨酸、壳聚糖、纤维二糖和麦角甾醇分别处理马铃薯植株24 h后接种致病疫霉,在多个浓度下对晚疫病均有不同程度的诱导抗性,其中在1 000 μmol/L浓度（壳聚糖浓度为1 000 mg/L）时诱导抗性最好,较对照显著提高,诱抗效果分别为54.73%、61.99%、59.73%和48.59%。壳聚糖对马铃薯晚疫病的诱抗效果高于其它3种化合物,且只有壳聚糖能显著抑制致病疫霉的菌丝生长和孢子囊形成,说明壳聚糖除了能诱导作物产生抗病性外,还具有直接抑菌作用。4种化合物诱导后马铃薯病程相关蛋白基因PR1、过氧化物酶基因POD和多酚氧化酶基因PPO的表达量在施用早期均显著升高。表明这些化合物能诱导马铃薯对晚疫病产生抗性,可能与马铃薯体内过氧化物酶、多酚氧化酶的活性和抗病信号传导途径关键基因PR1的表达有关。     

石斛内生细菌DEB-2对5种辣椒病原真菌的抑制作用

为了探明石斛内生细菌DEB-2菌株对贵州辣椒病原真菌的抑制作用,采用生长速率法测定了菌株DEB-2发酵液对辣椒黑斑病病原菌Alternaria alternate、辣椒疫病病原菌Phytophthora capsici、辣椒黑点炭疽病病原菌Colletotrichum capsici、辣椒红色炭疽病病原菌Colletotrichum gloesporioide和辣椒早疫病病原菌Alternaria solani的毒力。结果显示,内生菌DEB-2菌株能显著抑制5种辣椒病原真菌菌丝生长和孢子萌发,菌丝尖端均有不同程度变粗、膨大、崩解或者菌丝分枝增多的现象;分生孢子及芽管产生畸形。DEB-2菌株发酵液对5种病原菌菌丝生长的抑制中浓度EC₅₀值分别是28.5、76.2、80.7、79.9、72.0 μL/mL;对辣椒疫病病原菌和早疫病病原菌分生孢子萌发的EC₅₀分别为73.5 μL/mL和68.7 μL/mL。研究表明,DEB-2菌株能有效地同时抑制5种辣椒病原真菌菌丝生长和孢子萌发,对该5种辣椒真菌病原菌具有一定的生防潜力,可作为生防菌进行开发和应用。     

芒果苷对马铃薯晚疫病菌的抑菌作用机制初探

芒果苷是知母Anemarrhena asphodeloides中的一种有效成分,室内生物测定结果表明,其 对马铃薯晚疫病菌Phytophthora infestans的菌丝生长有较强的抑制作用,其EC50值为32.65 μg/mL, 但对游动孢子释放的抑制作用较弱,其EC50值为100.97 μg/mL。采用考马斯亮蓝G-250比色法对马铃薯晚疫病菌菌丝体内蛋白质含量变化的测定结果表明,芒果苷对晚疫病菌菌丝体的蛋白质合成有抑制作用;在浓度低于12.5 μg/mL时,芒果苷对晚疫病菌菌丝体细胞膜的通透性影响不大,随浓度的增加,使菌丝体细胞膜电导率明显增大。利用孢子悬浮液中溶氧量的变化进行呼吸代谢抑制试验的结果显示:芒果苷对马铃薯晚疫病菌呼吸代谢的糖酵解途径(EMP)、三羧酸循环(TCA)、磷酸戊糖途径(HMP)均有抑制作用,其中对HMP途径的抑制作用最明显。     

广东省辣椒疫霉菌对嘧菌酯的敏感性

从广东省各地采集了54个辣椒疫霉菌株,分别测定了菌丝生长和游动孢子囊形成对嘧菌酯的敏感性。结果表明,嘧菌酯对辣椒疫霉的菌丝生长具有很强的抑制作用,EC₅₀范围为0.1428～1.9509μg/mL,平均为0.9649μg/mL;对游动孢子囊形成的抑制作用更强,EC₅₀范围为0.0010～0.0844μg/mL平均为0.0239μg/mL。正态分析表明,辣椒疫病菌54个菌株菌丝生长对嘧菌酯的敏感性符合正态分布,而孢子萌发则在高浓度区具有拖尾现象,表明自然界中已存在个别具有一定耐药性的辣椒疫霉种群。     

烟草疫霉菌的培养及大量产生游动孢子囊和游动孢子方法的研究

为明确浙江省黄花菜叶斑病病原菌的种类，探究其对杀菌剂的敏感性并建立快捷检测方法，采用组织分离法获得黄花菜叶斑病菌，通过形态学特征观察和分子生物学技术对病原菌进行鉴定，测定其致病力及生物学特性，分析6种杀菌剂对病原菌的生长抑制效果，并以ITS和EF-1α序列为靶标设计特异性引物建立环介导等温扩增（loop-mediated isothermal amplification，LAMP）检测方法。结果表明，根据形态学特征以及ITS与EF-1α序列分析结果确定黄花菜叶斑病菌为杏黄镰孢Fusarium armeniacum。该病原菌菌丝生长适宜温度为20~30℃，pH 7时菌丝生长最快，以葡萄糖为碳源、硝酸钠为氮源时利用率最高。96%己唑醇对菌丝生长的抑制作用最强，EC₅₀为0.119 μg/mL。本研究所建立的LAMP体系在60℃条件下反应60 min，琼脂糖凝胶电泳和SYBR Green I染料染色均可判断检测结果。该方法可特异性地检测出杏黄镰孢，最低检测灵敏度为 100 pg/μL，是常规PCR检测灵敏度的10倍。表明本研究所建立的LAMP检测体系可快速检测出人工接种和实际发病黄花菜叶片中的病原菌。     

辣椒疫霉(Phytophthora capsici Leonian)不同发育阶段对嘧菌酯的敏感性研究

 细胞色素bc₁位点抑制剂包含作用于线粒体内膜外壁CoQ氧化位点抑制剂(Q_oIs)和作用于线粒体内膜内壁CoQ的还原位点抑制剂(Q_iIs)。从未使用过Q_oIs和Q_iIs的江苏省南京市和安徽省和县随机采集分离获得48个辣椒疫霉单游动孢子囊菌株,并测定了它们不同发育阶段对嘧菌酯的敏感性。结果表明,辣椒疫霉菌丝生长对嘧菌酯的敏感性最低,EC₅₀值范围在1.225~86.100 μg/mL,平均值为(21.041±14.397)μg/mL,其活性低于甲霜灵47.7倍;游动孢子囊形成和萌发对嘧菌酯的敏感性较高,EC₅₀值范围分别在0.006~0.996 μg/mL和0.053~0.334 μg/mL,平均值分别为(0.161±0.126)μg/mL和(0.155±0.023)μg/mL,其活性高于甲霜灵516.8倍;游动孢子萌发对嘧菌酯的敏感性最高,EC₅₀值范围在(0.018~0.111)μg/mL,平均值为(0.057±0.011)μg/mL,活性是甲霜灵的142.4倍。离体生物测定结果表明,水杨肟酸对嘧菌酯抑制菌丝生长的增效作用最强,对游动孢子囊形成的增效作用次之,而对游动孢子囊和游动孢子萌发过程的增效作用则不明显。     

Tumours of Begonia and some other ornamentals,induced by Corynebacterium fascians

In 1975 many tumours were observed in plants ofBegonia Schwabenland grown in Aalsmeer. Submersion of the roots ofNicotiana megalosiphon seedlings in a homogenate of tumorous tissue, induced tumours after two weeks. Short periods of submergence yielded results similar to those obtained after longer periods. Tumour homogenates lost their infectivity after ten min at 50°C. Aphids transmitted the infectious agent.Treatment with propylene oxide did not inhibit infectivity completely. Filtration through a 450 nm filter removed the infectious agent.Tobacco tumor virus or a viroid could not be isolated. Cultures ofCorynebacterium fascians, isolated from tumours ofN. megalosiphon were highly infectious and induced tumours in healthyN. megalosiphon andBegonia. Tumorous tissue homogenates ofPelargonium zonale, Dahlia sp.,Gladiolus sp., andLilium sp. also caused tumours inN. megalosiphon, from whichC. fascians was isolated. It was not possible to produce tumours inN. megalosiphon with homogenates from roses with symptoms of bud proliferation.Samenvatting In 1975 werden vele tumoren waargenomen inBegonia Schwabenland op Aalsmeerse bedrijven (Fig. 1). De infectiositeit van tumorweefsel kon goed en snel worden vastgesteld door de wortels van zaailingen vanNicotiana megalosiphon in een homogenaat van tumorweefsel te dompelen. Tumoren ontstonden na twee weken, de eindbeoordeling geschiedde na een maand (Fig. 2). Ook verschillende andereNicotiana spp.,Melilotus officinalis (Fig. 3) enPisum odoratum (Fig. 4) werden aangetast.Bij de infectiositeitstoets gaven zeer korte dompeltijden even goede resultaten als langere (Tabel 1). Infectieus sap verloor zijn infectievermogen na 10 min verhitting bij 50°C. Bladluizen brachten de smetstof over. Propyleenoxide verminderde de infectiositeit wel, doch onderdrukte deze niet totaal. Bij filtratie door een 450 nm filter bleef het infectieuse agens op het filter achter. Het tumor-inducerende agens was ook aanwezig in die delen van planten met tumoren welke gezond leken en het ging voor een gering deel over met zaad (Tabel 2).Uit tumoren konden wij geen tabakstumorvirus of een viroïde isoleren. Culturen vanCorynebacterium fascians, geïsoleerd uit tumoren vanN. megalosiphon bleken zeer infectieus en veroorzaakten tumoren inN. megalosiphon enBegonia. Homogenaten van tumorweefsel vanPelargonium zonale, dahlia (Fig. 5), gladiool (Fig. 6) enLilium Mid Century Hybrid Enchantment (Fig. 7) veroorzaakten ook tumoren opN. megalosiphon, waaruitC. fascians werd geïsoleerd. Met sap van kroeskopzieke rozen konden wijN. megalosiphon niet besmetten.     

Plant Viruses Transmitted by Whiteflies

One-hundred and fourteen virus species are transmitted by whiteflies (family Aleyrodidae). Bemisia tabaci transmits 111 of these species while Trialeurodes vaporariorum and T. abutilonia transmit three species each. B. tabaci and T. vaporariorum are present in the European–Mediterranean region, though the former is restricted in its distribution. Of the whitefly-transmitted virus species, 90% belong to the Begomovirus genus, 6% to the Crinivirus genus and the remaining 4% are in the Closterovirus, Ipomovirus or Carlavirus genera. Other named, whitefly-transmitted viruses that have not yet been ranked as species are also documented. The names, abbreviations and synonyms of the whitefly-transmitted viruses are presented in tabulated form together with details of their whitefly vectors, natural hosts and distribution. Entries are also annotated with references. Whitefly-transmitted viruses affecting plants in the European–Mediterranean region have been highlighted in the text.     

Epidemiology and simulation of population development of Sitobion avenae in winter wheat

The epidemiology ofSitobion avenae and its natural enemies in winter wheat was studied in 1975, 1976 and 1977. Immigration was important until the end of flowering. The alate immigrants had apterous offspring. These became the driving force in population growth. Their offspring were mostly alatae which usually left the field. A model of the epidemic was developed. Quantitative relations between the aphids and their environment were obtained from literature or established in laboratory trials. The model simulated population development and population composition from the beginning of June till the population peak at the end of June or early in July. Because quantitative data on relations between aphids and their natural enemies and pathogens are scarce, and since the knowledge on wing formation is still limited, the population collapse could not be predicted. In the future, prognosis over a period of three weeks seems possible.Samenvatting De toenemende betekenis van graanbladluizen (vooralSitobion avenae) gepaard gaande met een sterke toename van het gebruik van insecticiden op granen maakte verbetering van de prognose over het schadelijk optreden wenselijk. Door gedetailleerde tellingen in het veld (Fig. 1–7) werden gegevens verkregen over het verloop van de epidemie en het optreden van natuurlijke vijanden in 1975, 1976 en 1977.Een immigratieperiode tot in de bloei kon worden vastgesteld. Daarna lijkt de aantrekkelijkheid van het gewas voor alate luizen te verminderen. De alate immigranten krijgen aptere nakomelingen. Deze vormen de stuwende kracht van de populatiegroei. De nakomelingen van apteren zijn merendeels alaat. Zij verlaten het gewas.Een model van de populatieontwikkeling gedurende de epidemie werd opgesteld. De relatiediagrammen Fig. 9 en 10 laten groei en ontwikkeling vanS. avenae en een predator (Syrphus corollae) zien. Kwantificering van de betrekkingen werd mogelijk door literatuurgegevens en laboratoriumexperimenten.Met het model kon de populatieontwikkeling vanS. avenae vanaf begin juni tot aan de populatiepiek in 1975, 1976 en 1977 vrij goed worden gesimuleerd (Fig. 12). Ook de populatieopbouw kon worden gesimuleerd (Fig. 14). De teruggang van de populatiedichtheid blijkt moeilijker te voorspellen door het ontbreken van gegevens over natuurlijke vijanden.Het lijkt waarschijnlijk dat in de toekomst met het model een prognose over de piek van de bladluispopulatie circa 3 weken tevoren mogelijk zal zijn.     

Identification,incidence and characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fusarium proliferatum</Emphasis>on ornamental palms in Spain

During a survey conducted from 1998 to 2002, Fusarium proliferatum was found associated with young and adult palms belonging to the genera Chamaerops, Phoenix, Trachycarpus and Washingtonia showing symptoms of wilt and dieback. The fertility and toxicological profile of 36 strains representing different locations and hosts were studied. All of them except two, which were infertile, belonged to mating population D. Both mating types (MATD-1 and MATD-2) were isolated from the same host species, showing a high potential of genetic recombination in the field. Additionally, eight strains were fertile once crossed as female. Toxin analysis showed differences in the ability of strains to produce fumonisin B₁, moniliformin, beauvericin, fusaric acid and fusaproliferin. Only 17 of them produced all the toxins analyzed. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on Phoenix dactylifera and P. canariensis using nine F. proliferatum Spanish strains and two reference strains from Saudi Arabia. Eight months after inoculation all strains caused disease, with palms showing lesions on the bases of leaves and development of wilt symptoms similar to those originally observed in affected plants. This is the first report on the occurrence of F. proliferatum on P. dactylifera in Spain and also the first report of this pathogen on C. humilis, P. canariensis, P. reclinata, T. fortunei, W. filifera and W. robusta.     

Relationships of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Barley yellow dwarf virus</Emphasis>-PAV and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cereal yellow dwarf virus</Emphasis>-RPV from Iran with viruses of the family <Emphasis Type="Italic">Luteoviridae</Emphasis>

Barley yellow dwarf disease is one of the most important problems confronting cereal production in Iran. Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV) and Cereal yellow dwarf virus-RPV (CYDV-RPV) are the predominant viruses associated with the disease. One isolate of BYDV-PAV from wheat (PAV-IR) and one isolate of CYDV-RPV from barley (RPV-IR) were selected for molecular characterisations. A genome segment of each isolate was amplified by PCR. The PAV-IR fragment (1264 nt) covered a region containing partial genes for coat protein (CP), read through protein (RTP) and movement protein (MP). PAV-IR showed a high sequence identity to PAV isolates from USA, France and Japan (96–97%). In a phylogenetic analysis it was placed into PAV group I together with PAV isolates from barley and oats. The fragment of RPV-IR (719 nt) contained partial genes for CP, RTP and MP. The sequence information confirmed its identity as CYDV. However, RPV-IR showed 90–91% identity with both RPV and Cereal yellow dwarf virus-RPS (CYDV-RPS). Phylogenetic analyses suggested that it was more closely related to RPS. These data comprise the first attempt to characterise BYD-causing viruses in Iran and southwest Asia. The nucleotide sequence data reported appear in the EMBL, GenBank and DDBJ Nucleotide Sequence Databases under the accession numbers AY450425 and AY450454     

A new <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhizoctonia</Emphasis> sp. closely related to <Emphasis Type="Italic">Waitea circinata</Emphasis> causes a new disease of creeping bentgrass

Isolates of an unidentified Rhizoctonia sp. (UR isolates) were obtained from creeping bentgrass and Kentucky bluegrass with reddish brown sheath and foliar rots. Because the UR isolates anastomosed with isolates of three varieties of Waitea circinata (var. oryzae, var. zeae, and var. circinata), colony morphology, hyphal growth rate at different temperatures, pathogenicity, sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) region of ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) were compared. The colony color of mature UR isolates was distinct from isolates of the other three varieties of W. circinata. In pathogenicity tests on creeping bentgrass, the severity of the disease caused by UR isolates was significantly higher than that caused by the three varieties of W. circinata. Sequence similarities of the rDNA-ITS region between UR isolates and between isolates within each variety were high (97–100%), but they were lower among isolates from UR and the varieties of W. circinata (88–94%). In a phylogenetic tree based on the rDNA-ITS sequences, UR isolates formed a cluster separate from each of the clusters formed by the three varieties of W. circinata. These results indicate that the UR isolates clearly differ from the three varieties of W. circinata. We therefore propose that the UR isolates be classified as new Rhizoctonia sp. that are closely related to W. circinata and that the disease on creeping bentgrass should be called Waitea reddish-brown patch disease (Sekikasshoku-hagusare-byo in Japanese).     

Recent observations on leafy gall in Liliaceae and some other families

Corynebacterium fascians, which causes leafy gall, has been shown to be responsible for the unusual symptoms recently found in lilies. The symptoms are described and the different bacterial isolates compared by biochemical, serological and pathogenicity experiments. No evidence could be found for the existence of specialized strains even though considerable variation in virulence could be demonstrated. Although the role of variation in susceptibility of the different lily cultivars should not be underestimated, it would appear that high inoculum levels ofC. fascians in the soil may be largely responsible for these outbreaks.Also included in this study are the results of biochemical, serological and pathogenicity experiments ofC. fascians which has been isolated fromKalanchoe, Euphorbia, Brodiaea, Hebe andVerbascum.Samenvatting Reeds een aantal jaren was in lelies een woekering in stengelbollen bekend, die echter sporadisch voorkwam en economisch van weinig betekenis was. Tijdens de zomer van 1977 echter trad de ziekte op één enkel perceel zo ernstig op dat zeer aanzienlijke oogstderving het gevolg was. Behalve de stengelbol kan ook de hoofdbol misvormd zijn. Bovendien kunnen misvormde stengelbollen lange spruiten vormen, zgn. sabeltandvorming. Soms is het wortelstelsel gereduceerd; in de kas zijn verdikte stengels waargenomen. De ziekte staat nu bekend onder de naam woekerziekte.Door de PD te Wageningen en het LBO te Lisse werd de bacterieCorynebacterium fascians (Tilford) Dows. uit het zieke materiaal geïsoleerd. In gezamenlijk onderzoek werd nagegaan of de bacterie de veroorzaker is van bovengenoemde symptomen en of hier sprake is van een op lelie gespecialiseerde stam.Biochemische en serologische vergelijkingen tussen isolaten vanC. fascians uit lelie,Kalanchoe, Euphorbia, Brodiaeea, Hebe enVerbascum laten zien dat er zeer weinig verschillen bestaan. Alle isolaten reageren op een standaard antiserum met titers variërend tussen 1: 640–1: 5120.Een oriënterende inoculatieproef werd uitgevoerd op het LBO in 1977. Daarna werden op de PD 10 van de 25 isolaten uit lelie en 8 uit andere waardplanten getoetst op lelie, chrysant en lathyrus. Uit de inoculatieproeven blijkt, dat de bacterie de veroorzaker is van de waargenomen symptomen. Tussen de isolaten blijkt een groot verschil in pathogeniteit te bestaan (12–100% aantasting), zonder dat dit aan herkomst gebonden is. Het voorkomen van op lelie of andere waardplanten gespecialiseerde stammen is daarom niet aan te nemen.In hoeverre de hevige aantasting een gevolg is van een opbouw van de bacterie-populatie door een te nauwe vruchtwisseling en mechanische rooimethoden moet worden nagegaan.     

Nematicidal Activity of Chrysanthemum coronarium

Organic amendments and green manure are potential alternatives to the harmful chemical control means currently used against plant-parasitic nematodes. In this work, Chrysanthemum coronarium was applied to the soil as a green manure to control the root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica. Chrysanthemum coronarium significantly reduced nematode infection of tomato roots and improved plant-top fresh weight, both in the greenhouse and in microplots. Other green manures, derived from Anthemis pseudocotula, wild chickpea (Cicer pinnatifidum), Geranium spp. and wheat, were not as effective as C. coronarium. Chrysanthemum coronarium, retained its nematicidal activity even when applied as a dried material. Only mature C. coronarium plants, in their flowering stage, exhibited nematode control activity, but the green plant parts were more effective than the flowers. An aqueous extract of C. coronarium exhibited in vitro, nematostatic activity towards M. incognita and M. javanica second-stage juveniles and inhibited their hatching from eggs and egg-masses; its nematostatic activity was expressed also against other phytonematode species such as Heterodera avenae and Pratylenchus mediterraneus, but did not affect the beneficial entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae.     

Broad bean mottle virus in Morocco; curculionid vectors,and natural occurrence in food legumes other than faba bean (Vicia faba)

Broad bean mottle virus (BBMV) was transmitted from infected to healthy faba-bean plants by the curculionid weevilsApion radiolus Kirby,Hypera variabilis Herbst,Pachytychius strumarius Gyll,Smicronyx cyaneus Gyll, andSitona lineatus L. The latter appeared to be an efficient vector: acquisition and inoculation occurred at the first bite, the rate of transmission was c. 41%, and virus retention lasted for at least seven days.S. lineatus transmitted the virus from faba bean to lentil and pea, but not to the three genotypes of chickpea tested. This is the first report on the generaHypera, Pachytychius, andSmicronyx as virus vectors, and onA. radiolus, H. variabilis, P. strumarius, andS. cyaneus as vectors of BBMV.Out of 351 samples of food legumes with symptoms suggestive of virus infection, 16, 11, 19, and 17% of the samples of chickpea, lentil, pea, and common bean, respectively, were found infected when tested for BBMV in DAS-ELISA. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of BBMV in chickpea, lentil, pea, and common bean. The virus should be regarded as a food-legume virus rather than a faba-bean virus solely, and is considered an actual threat to food legume improvement programmes.     

浅黄恩蚜小蜂和丽蚜小蜂对温室白粉虱的寄生潜能分析

浅黄恩蚜小蜂Encarsia sophia GiraultDodd和丽蚜小蜂Encarsia formosa Gahan是防治粉虱类害虫的优势寄生蜂,通过生命表技术方法分析了2种寄生蜂对温室白粉虱Trialeurodes vaporariorum(Westwood)的防治潜能。结果表明,丽蚜小蜂在羽化第3天和第10天出现2次寄生高峰,占其总寄生量的13.7%和8.0%,在2次高峰之间逐日寄生粉虱数量比较平稳,单雌逐日平均产雌数保持在10.6~13.4头,10 d后寄生量呈明显的下降趋势;而浅黄恩蚜小蜂羽化10 d内逐日寄生粉虱量变化不大,单雌逐日产雌数稳定在4.2~5.4头,羽化14 d后寄生量呈明显下降趋势。丽蚜小蜂和浅黄恩蚜小蜂的R0、T、rm、λ值分别为171.5、18.0、0.2854、1.3303和61.6、16.2、0.2544、1.2897;粉虱若虫充足时,丽蚜小蜂平均单雌寄生若虫数是浅黄恩蚜小蜂的2.7倍,而后者平均单雌取食若虫数为60.6头,明显高于前者42.7头,总的来看,丽蚜小蜂通过寄生和取食杀死粉虱总量220.8头,明显高于浅黄恩蚜小蜂的127.9头。表明在应用寄生蜂防治温室白粉虱时,单独释放丽蚜小蜂比浅黄恩蚜小蜂显示出更好的防治潜能。
