Inheritance of beta-cypermethrin resistance in the housefly Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae)

BACKGROUND: Beta-cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, was applied frequently in the control of health pests including houseflies, Musca domestica L., in China. However, different levels of resistance to beta-cypermethrin were monitored in field strains of houseflies. A strain of M. domestica, 4420-fold resistant to beta-cypermethrin after continuous 25 generations of selection, was used in this paper to determine the mode of inheritance of pyrethroid resistance. RESULTS: The estimated realized heritability (h(2)) of beta-cypermethrin resistance was 0.30 in this resistant strain. Results of bioassays showed no significant difference in values of LD(50) and slope of log dose-probit lines between reciprocal progenies F(1) and F'(1), and yielded values of - 0.10 (F(1)) and - 0.11 (F'(1)) for the degree of dominance (D). Chi-square analysis from responses of self-bred and backcross progenies (F(2), BC(1) and BC(2) respectively) indicated that the null hypothesis, a single gene responsible for resistance, was accepted. The minimum number of independent segregation genes was 0.93 for F(1) by Lande's method. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that beta-cypermethrin resistance in the housefly was inherited as a single, major, autosomal and incompletely recessive factor. These results would provide the basic information for pest management programmes.     

玉米抗南方锈病种质标记基因型鉴定与遗传多样性分析

为阐明玉米抗南方锈病种质的标记基因型和遗传背景,利用7个与玉米抗南方锈病3个基因连锁的SSR标记鉴定了38份抗病玉米种质的标记基因型,并采用40个多态性SSR标记对39份抗南方锈病的玉米自交系和6个标准测验种进行了遗传多样性研究。结果表明,7个与抗病基因连锁的SSR标记将38份抗病种质鉴定为17种标记基因型,表明可能存在多样的抗性基因组合方式;辽2204等9份种质仅扩增出齐319的标记基因型,沈136和W456仅扩增出W2D的标记基因型;种质LO932未扩增出与齐319、P25和W2D相同的标记,可能携带新的抗南方锈病基因;相近遗传背景的抗性种质分属不同的标记基因型,表明抗病种质可能携带的抗南方锈病基因在育种选择中发生了分离。40对多态性SSR引物在45份自交系中共检测出115个等位基因变异,平均每对引物检测到2.88个等位基因,变异范围为2~4;平均多态性信息含量为0.4649,变化范围为0.1258~0.6951;通过UPGMA聚类分析,39份抗病材料被划分到以标准测验种为代表的6个杂种优势亚群中,与系谱分析基本一致,这为在育种中合理利用抗源提供了信息。

Deep‐sequencing revealed Citrus bark cracking viroid (CBCVd) as a highly aggressive pathogen on hop

Newly emerging or re‐emerging diseases are a constant and significant threat to agricultural production, so prompt and accurate identification of the causative agents is required for rapid and appropriate disease management. Classical methods of pathogen detection can be successfully supplemented by next‐generation sequencing (NGS), whereby sequence analysis can help in the discovery of new or emerging diseases. In 2007, hop growers in Slovenia reported the appearance of severely stunted hop plants, a phenomenon that spread rapidly within hop gardens and among farms. Classical diagnostic methods were unable to detect a new pathogen; therefore, single step high‐throughput parallel sequencing of total RNA and small RNAs from plants with and without symptoms was employed to identify a novel pathogen. The sequences were assembled de novo and also mapped to reference genomes, resulting in identification of a novel sequence of Citrus bark cracking viroid (CBCVd) in the stunted hop plants. Furthermore, the presence of this novel pathogen on hop was confirmed by RT‐PCR analysis of 59 plants with symptoms from 15 hop gardens, representing the main outbreak locations identified by systematic disease monitoring, and small RNA Illumina sequencing of the bulked RNA sample. The high infectivity of the newly identified CBCVd was also confirmed by biolistic inoculation of two hop cultivars, which developed aggressive symptoms in controlled conditions. This study shows the feasibility of deep sequencing for the identification of causative agents of new diseases in hop and other plants.     

利用分子标记提高筛选普感水稻抗病突变体的准确性

 水稻丽江新团黑谷(LTH)是一个云南地方粳稻普感品种,对全球近2 800多个稻瘟病菌生理小种均表现为感病表型。本研究为利用⁶⁰Co-γ射线辐照处理LTH种子,分单株收获M₁代种子。对M₂和M₃代植株分别进行稻瘟病的自然诱发筛选和人工喷雾接种筛选,以期从LTH中筛选获得抗性提高的突变体。在突变体筛选过程中,我们发现突变体的遗传背景受到零星异交或混杂干扰,这种情况在其他本底抗性水平较高的抗性突变体筛选中往往容易被忽略。为了确保突变体遗传背景的真实性,我们利用分布在水稻12条染色体上的在粳稻LTH与籼稻品种间存在多态性的In/Del标记,分析候选抗性植株是否为LTH纯合背景,以排除杂合假抗性个体。通过两种不同的筛选策略,最终从M₃代植株中分别鉴定出1份和4份抗性突变体,为进一步研究LTH普感特性奠定基础。将其中一个LTH抗病突变体分别与野生型LTH和籼稻普感品种CO39进行杂交,获得的F₂群体人工喷雾接种稻瘟病菌后调查抗、感植株的分离情况,分析结果显示,该突变体性状符合单个显性基因控制的遗传规律。另外,本研究结果表明:在水稻诱变育种工作中,不仅要做到充分隔离,还需借用分子标记辅助剔除零星意外串粉造成的杂合假突变体,以提高水稻突变体筛选的准确率。

Comparison of calculated and experimentally determined SID of CP and AA in complex diets differing in AA contents for grower finisher pigs

In practice, the content of standardized ileal digestible AA in complex feeds for pigs is calculated on the basis of tabulated values for individual feedstuffs. It comes into question, however, whether this truly reflects an accurate content based upon the estimate made for the individual feedstuffs. The objective of this study was to compare standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and selected AA in complex feeds for grower and finisher pigs either calculated or experimentally determined. Six diets with increasing AA levels were prepared for grower (BW from 30 to 70 kg) and finisher (BW from 70 to 120 kg) feed. Crystalline L‐lys, DL‐met and L‐thr were added to both diets, L‐trp and L‐val only to the grower feed. SID of both CP and AA was calculated from feed tables and experimentally determined in six adult minipigs (MINILEWE) with ileorectal anastomosis. With increasing AA levels, experimentally determined SID of supplemented AA increased (p < 0.05), but SID of CP (p ≥ 0.05) was not affected. In both grower and finisher feed, calculated and experimentally determined SID of CP, Met, Cys, Trp, Ile and Tyr differed by more than 2% units, but those of Lys and His only in the finisher feed. Yet this effect was not directly consistent. The margin of error following estimation of SID of AA via tabulated values for individual feedstuffs, however, seems to be acceptable for practical use.
