两种替代猎物对日本刀角瓢虫生长发育及生殖力的影响

为明确替代猎物对日本刀角瓢虫人工饲养的效果,以烟粉虱卵为对照,研究了地中海粉螟卵和米蛾卵对日本刀角瓢虫生长发育及繁殖力的影响。结果表明,饲喂米蛾卵的日本刀角瓢虫存活率为17.16%,发育历期显著延长,雌虫寿命显著缩短;饲喂地中海粉螟卵处理的存活率为77.82%,雌虫寿命显著延长。瓢虫幼虫期和成虫期营养对成虫产卵能力有明显影响:幼虫期饲喂地中海粉螟卵,成虫期分别饲喂米蛾卵和地中海粉螟卵,产卵量极显著降低(分别为64.45粒和53.82粒);幼虫期饲喂地中海粉螟卵,成虫期饲喂烟粉虱卵,产卵量(539.10粒)与对照组无显著差异;幼虫期饲喂烟粉虱卵,成虫期分别饲喂地中海粉螟卵和米蛾卵,产卵量极显著降低(分别为59.30粒和71.38粒)。因此,米蛾卵不适于日本刀角瓢虫饲养,地中海粉螟卵可作为瓢虫幼虫期饲养的替代猎物。     

矮凤梨短营养生长期突变材料‘14-1’的性状鉴定

菠萝栽培种(Ananas comosus var. comosus)的营养生长期较长,制约了其新品种选育效率。收集和筛选营养生长期较短的种质,可为短营养生长期菠萝新品种的选育创制中间材料。从境外收集了23份易成花的野生种质材料,自2008年起进行栽培、繁殖和性状鉴定。通过对营养生长期的比较和观察,从矮凤梨(A. comosus var. nanus)的体胚苗中发现了1份营养生长期显著缩短的突变材料‘14-1’,其营养生长期约6个月(原品种约12个月),1年开花2次,具有极易成花等特点。‘14-1’无性繁殖后代遗传性状稳定,可作为短营养生长期菠萝育种的亲本资源。     

不同品系赤眼蜂对桃蛀螟卵的寄生选择性

近年来,桃蛀螟已成为黄淮海夏玉米穗期的主要害虫之一。其幼虫的为害直接降低了玉米产量和品质,对玉米安全生产构成严重威胁。由于其幼虫钻蛀为害的特性以及化学防治的弊端使其防治难度增加。为了更好的开展利用赤眼蜂防治桃蛀螟,我们对广泛用于鳞翅目害虫生物防治的松毛虫赤眼蜂、螟黄赤眼蜂和玉米螟赤眼蜂的11个品系对桃蛀螟卵的寄主选择性进行了比较,以期筛选出对桃蛀螟卵寄生效果好的赤眼蜂品系。结果表明,寄生24 h后,松毛虫赤眼蜂Sd和Xd品系和玉米螟赤眼蜂So和Zo品系单头雌蜂在选择性试验中对桃蛀螟卵的寄生卵粒数分别为14.35、15.05、14.65和13.45粒,非选择试验中为15.8、16.1、13.8和13.1粒,均对桃蛀螟卵均有较好的寄生能力;各品系赤眼蜂后代的羽化率保持在93.64%~98.37%,雌性比也表现较好,在73.10%~89.39%,后代出蜂数介于13.18~18.40。综合来看,玉米螟赤眼蜂So和Zo品系和松毛虫赤眼蜂Sd和Xd品系可以作为防治桃蛀螟的候选赤眼蜂用于进一步的田间防治试验。     

柑橘胼胝质合成酶基因家族的表达分析

胼胝质由胼胝质合成酶合成,胼胝质沉积是植物对入侵病原的防御反应。为了探索胼胝质合成酶(Callose synthase,CalS)基因在柑橘中对黄龙病的应答情况,从甜橙基因组中筛选并利用生物信息学分析了柑橘胼胝质合成酶(CsCalS)家族的12个基因。这些基因编码的氨基酸序列与拟南芥中的胼胝质合成酶具有较高的同源性。荧光实时定量PCR结果显示,CsCalS5和CsCalS12在柑橘健康叶片中的表达量高于其他胼胝质合成酶基因。比较黄龙病感病材料和健康对照材料,发现CsCalS5、CsCalS7和CsCalS8在感病的‘砂糖橘’和‘强德勒’柚中均上调表达,可能参与柑橘对黄龙病病原的应答反应。     

苏云金芽胞杆菌杀虫晶体蛋白Cry1D新基因的克隆与特性

为扩充鳞翅目害虫杀虫基因资源,本研究从苏云金芽胞杆菌BN23-5中克隆得到一个新的cry基因,并对其进行鉴定和分析。该基因为一个完整的cry1D基因,全长3501 bp,编码1166个氨基酸残基。该氨基酸序列是一个新的Cry氨基酸序列,与Cry1Db1的同源性最高,为86%,命名为Cry1Dd1（登录号为KJ728844）。将该基因插入穿梭表达载体pSTK中,转入BT无晶体突变株HD73^-中进行表达。结果表明,cry1Dd1基因能在BT无晶体突变株中表达,并形成菱形伴孢晶体。SDS-PAGE验证其分子量为132.2 kD,与预测的大小相符。生物活性测定表明,Cry1Dd1晶体蛋白对小菜蛾的幼虫具有杀虫活性,LC₅₀为13.1 μg/mL;能明显抑制甜菜夜蛾幼虫的生长;但对棉铃虫幼虫没有杀虫活性。对cry1Dd1基因序列进行分析,cry1Dd1包含8个block保守区域,这和目前其他的cry基因相似;Cry1Dd1蛋白的活性区域为N端的37~593位氨基酸残基。

Hesperetin attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced apoptosis in H9c2 cells via inhibition of calcium overload

AIM: To investigate the effect of hesperetin on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced apoptosis in the H9c2 cells and to clarify the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The H/R model was established and the H9c2 cells were pretreated with hesperetin for 4 h. The cell viability and cell damage were measured by CCK-8 assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) detection. The apoptosis was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. The intracellular calcium fluorescence intensity was measured by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The calcium-ATPase activity and the level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were measured by ELISA. The mitochondrial membrane potential was measured by JC-1 staining. The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax and cytochrome C (Cyt-C) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Hesperetin reduced the apoptosis of the H9c2 cells induced by H/R, decreased intracellular Ca²⁺ fluorescence intensity, elevated Ca²⁺-ATPase activity, inhibited the mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization and increased the level of ATP (P<0.05). In addition, hesperetin significantly reduced the release of Cyt-C protein from mitochondria to cytoplasma and increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio (P<0.05). After using the calcium ion inhibitor nimodipine, the percentage of the cells with mitochondrial membrane depolarization was decreased, the ATP level was increased and the protein expression of mitochondrion-related apoptosis molecules were decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Hesperetin reduces the apoptosis of the H9c2 cells induced by H/R, which may be related to inhibition of calcium overload and improvement of mitochondrial function.     

Reversing effect of naringin on cisplatin resistance in human lung cancer A549/DDP cells

AIM: To investigate the effect of naringin (NRG) on cisplatin (DDP) resistance in human lung cancer A549/DDP cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS: A549/DDP cells were cultured in vitro and treated with NRG and/or DDP at different concentrations for 24 h, and then the cell viability were measured by CCK-8 assay. The combination index (CI) of NRG and DDP were analyzed by Chou-Talalay method. The apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot was performed to detect the protein levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), p-Akt, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax.RESULTS: The protein levels of P-gp, MRP1, p-Akt and CXCR4 in the A549/DDP cells were higher than those in the A549 cells (P<0.05). The cell viability was remarkably reduced in a dose-dependent manner when A549/DDP cells were exposed to NRG and/or DDP (P<0.05), and the IC₅₀ values of NRG and DDP were 36.92 μmol/L and 129.77 μmol/L, respectively. When the inhibition rate exceeded 15%, NRG in combination with DDP produced a synergistic effect (CI<1). Combination treatment with NRG and DDP significantly induced apoptosis (P<0.05), up-regulated the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, and down-regulated the protein level of Bcl-2 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, NRG remarkably down-regulated the protein levels of P-gp, MRP1, p-Akt and CXCR4 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: NRG may enhance the sensibility of A549/DDP cells to DDP most likely via up-regulating the protein level of Bax and down-regulating the protein levels of Bcl-2, P-gp, MRP1, p-Akt and CXCR4.
