The greater wax moth Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is occasionally found in beehives and is a major pest of stored wax. Entomopathogenic fungi have
recently received attention as possible biocontrol elements for certain insect pests. In this study, 90 isolates of Beauveria bassiana and 15 isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae were screened for proteases and lipases production. The results showed significant variations in the enzymatic action between
the isolates. In the bioassay, the selected isolates evinced high virulence against the 4th instar of the G. mellonella larvae. The isolates BbaAUMC3076, BbaAUMC3263 and ManAUMC3085 realized 100% mortality at concentrations of 5.5 × 106 conidia ml−1, 5.86 × 105 conidia ml−1, and 4.8 × 106 conidia ml−1, respectively. Strong enzymatic activities in vitro did not necessarily indicate high virulence against the tested insect pest. The cuticle of the infected larvae became dark
and black-spotted, indicating direct attack of fungus on the defense system of the insects. The LC50 values were 1.43 × 103, 1.04 × 105 and 5.06 × 104 for Bba3263AUMC, Bba3076AUMC and Man3085AUMC, respectively, and their slopes were determined by computerized probit analysis
program as 0.738 ± 0.008, 0.635 ± 0.007 and 1.120 ± 0.024, respectively. 相似文献

Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is grown for its highly-valued rhizome which is used as a condiment in Japanese food. Symptoms of vascular blackening in
the rhizome were first observed in 2005 in plants grown in British Columbia, Canada. Microscopic observations and microbial
isolation from infected tissues revealed that most of the xylem tracheid cells were blackened and bacteria were consistently
associated with symptomatic plants. The bacterium most frequently recovered was identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) using BioLog™ and sequencing of a specific ~510 bp IGS region. Pathogen-free plants obtained using meristem-tip micropropagation
were inoculated with a wasabi isolate of Pcc. Vascular blackening symptoms developed in the rhizome after 8 weeks when the rhizome was first wounded by stabbing or cutting,
or if the roots were pre-inoculated with Pythium species isolated from rhizome epidermal tissues, followed by inoculation with Pcc at 1 × 108 cells ml−1. Xylem tracheid cells were blackened and Pcc was reisolated from all diseased tissues. The highest frequency of rhizome vascular blackening occurred at 22°C and 27°C
and these tissues occasionally succumbed to soft rot at higher temperatures, but not when inoculated tissues were incubated
at 10°C. The rooting medium used by growers for vegetative propagation of wasabi was shown to contain Pcc but the pathogen was not recovered from the irrigation water. Entry of Pcc through wounds on wasabi rhizomes and the host tissue response result in symptoms of vascular blackening. 相似文献

Fusarium equiseti is prevalent in ginseng soil, straw mulch and in ginseng root tissues and is the cause of a root surface discolouration on
ginseng grown in British Columbia. Population levels of the fungus in ginseng fields ranged from 3.8 × 103 cfu g−1 soil to 1.4 × 104 cfu g−1 soil and were highest at 0–5 cm soil depths compared to 10–15 cm. Soil population levels were negatively correlated with
S content in soil and positively correlated with Zn levels. Barley or wheat straw added to soil significantly increased population
levels under laboratory conditions. Mycelial growth in culture was highest at 26–30°C and at pH 7.2–7.8. Samples of flowers
and berries, and harvested seed, contained DNA of F. equiseti detected using a Fusarium-specific DNA array and the fungus was isolated from these tissues on agar medium. A high degree of genetic variation in the
EF-1 alpha gene sequence was present among 52 isolates of F. equiseti which originated from ginseng fields. At least seven clades were identified. Inoculum dispersal from straw mulch used in
ginseng gardens can result in seed contamination by the fungus. In addition, fungal growth near the soil surface under warm
summer conditions can result in infection and crown discolouration of ginseng roots. 相似文献

The pathogenicity and reproductive fitness of Pratylenchus coffeae and Radopholus arabocoffeae from Vietnam on coffee (Coffea arabica) seedlings cv. Catimor were evaluated in greenhouse experiments. The effect of initial population densities (Pi = 0, 1, 2,
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 nematodes per cm3 soil) was studied for both species at different days after inoculation (dai). The data were adjusted to the Seinhorst damage
model Y = m + (1-m).zPi-T. Tolerance limit (T) for P. coffeae was zero for the height and the diameter of the coffee plants. For the diameter, the T-value for R. arabocoffeae was 25.6 for 30 and 60 dai and 12.8 for 90 and 120 dai. After 4 months T was zero. The low tolerance limits indicate that
Arabica coffee is highly intolerant to both nematode species. At the end of the experiment (180 dai), all plants were infected
and most were dead when inoculated with R. arabocoffeae at initial densities of 32, 64, 128 and 256 nematodes/cm3 soil. For P. coffeae plant death was already observed at the lowest inoculation densities. Growth of coffee was reduced at all inoculation levels
for both species. Pratylenchus coffeae and R. arabocoffeae caused intense darkening of the roots, leaf chlorosis and a strong reduction of root and shoot growth. It was observed that
P. coffeae mainly destroyed lateral roots rather than tap roots, whereas R. arabocoffeae reduced tap root length rather than the lateral roots. At the lowest inoculum densities, the reproduction factor of P. coffeae was 2.38 and 2.01 for R. arabocoffeae, indicating that arabica coffee is a host for both species. Plant growth as expressed by shoot height and shoot and root
weight measured 60 dai was negatively correlated with nematode (both species) density as expressed by the geometric mean of
nematode numbers at 30 and 60 dai. 相似文献

A conventional PCR and a SYBR Green real-time PCR assays for the detection and quantification of Phytophthora cryptogea, an economically important pathogen, have been developed and tested. A conventional primer set (Cryp1 and Cryp2) was designed
from the Ypt1 gene of P. cryptogea. A 369 bp product was amplified on DNA from 17 isolates of P. cryptogea. No product was amplified on DNA from 34 other Phytophthora spp., water moulds, true fungi and bacteria. In addition, Cryp1/Cryp2 primers were successfully adapted to real-time PCR.
The conventional PCR and real-time PCR assays were compared. The PCR was able to detect the pathogen on naturally infected
gerbera plants and on symptomatic artificially infected plants collected 21 days after pathogen inoculation. The detection
limit was 5 × 103
P. cryptogea zoospores and 16 fg of DNA. Real-time PCR showed a detection limit 100 times lower (50 zoospores, 160 ag of DNA) and the
possibility of detecting the pathogen in symptomless artificially infected plants and in the re-circulating nutrient solution
of closed soilless cultivation systems. 相似文献

A laboratory assay was designed to determine the insecticidal efficacy of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Hyphomycetes: Moniliales) and diatomaceous earth (Diafil 610) against Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae). The fungus B. bassiana was applied at 2.23 × 107, 2.23 × 108 and 2.23 × 109 conidia kg−1 of wheat individually as well as mixed with 200 and 400 ppm of Diafil 610. The conditions for the trials were 30 ± 2oC with 55% r.h. and the counts for mortality were made after 8, 16 and 24 d. All the dead adults were removed after each count
and the vials were kept for the next 60 d to assess the emergence of the F1 generation. The findings from these studies proved that the extended exposure interval and the highest combined dose rate
of the entomopathogenic fungus and the diatomaceous earth gave the maximum mortality of the beetles. The emergence of the
progeny was also highly suppressed where the maximum dose rate of the synergized treatments was applied. The rate of mycosis
and sporulation in the cadavers of R. dominica was maximum where the low dose rates of B. bassiana were applied. 相似文献

Bacterial wilt caused by race 1 strains of Ralstonia solanacearum is endemic on tomato produced in diverse agro-ecosystems in Taiwan. Using a new BIO-PCR protocol developed in this study,
R. solanacearum was detected in soil, weed, and water samples collected from eight fields with different disease histories and cropping systems
located in major tomato production areas. The sensitivity of the BIO-PCR was 1.9 CFU ml−1 and 17 CFU g−1 of soil for pure suspension and infested soil, respectively. The positive detection frequency of the BIO-PCR method was 66.6,
39.6, 23.1, and 31.8% for all tested samples of soil, weed rhizosphere soil, weed root, and water, respectively, and was higher
than plating on MSM-1 medium. Detection of R. solanacearum from field soil indicated that spatial distribution of the pathogen in the field was not even regardless of the presence
or absence of the disease and the different agro-ecosystems where the sampled fields were located, and the degree of unevenness
was higher when tomato was absent from the field. Weed rhizosphere soils could be good sampling targets to monitor the pathogen
in the field, because a higher positive detection proportion and population of R. solanacearum were found in the rhizosphere rather than the root of the collected weed samples. Symptomless weeds and contaminated irrigation,
standing, or drainage waters were found to be important for the over-season survival and dissemination of R. solanacearum. 相似文献

The apple rust mite Aculus schlechtendali (Nal.) (Acari: Eriophyidae), is a main pest in apple-growing areas in Ankara, Turkey, and chemical control applications have
some limitations. Entomopathogenic fungi have a potential for biological control of mites. In this study, an entomopathogenic
fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson (Deuteromycota: Hyphomycetes), was first isolated from the mite cadavers on Japanese crab apple leaves and
pathogenicity of the fungus was observed in different inoculum densities and relative humidities. The pathogen caused up to
98.22% mortality of the mite population. The effects of some fungicides on the entomopathogenic fungus were determined in
in vitro studies. Carbendazim, penconazole and tebuconazole were the most effective fungicides on mycelial growth of P. lilacinus, with EC50 values under 3 μg ml−1. In spore germination tests, captan, mancozeb, propineb were the most effective fungicides, followed by tebuconazole, penconazole,
nuarimol and chlorothalonil. Sulphur could not inhibit the conidia germination totally at 5,000 μg ml−1. Copper oxychloride and fosetyl-al prevented conidia formation at concentrations above 1,000 μg ml−1. 相似文献

Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a serious threat to oilseed production in Australia. Eight isolates of S. sclerotiorum were collected from Mount Barker and Walkway regions of Western Australia in 2004. Comparisons of colony characteristics
on potato dextrose agar (PDA) as well as pathogenicity studies of these isolates were conducted on selected genotypes of Brassica napus and B. juncea. Three darkly-pigmented isolates (WW-1, WW-2 and WW-4) were identified and this is the first report of the occurrence of
such isolates in Australia. There was, however, no correlation between pigmentation or colony diameter on PDA with the pathogenicity
of different isolates of this pathogen as measured by diameter of cotyledon lesion on the host genotypes. Significant differences
were observed between different isolates (P ≤ 0.001) in two separate experiments in relation to pathogenicity. Differences were also observed between the different Brassica genotypes (P ≤ 0.001) in their responses to different isolates of S. sclerotiorum and there was also a significant host × pathogen interaction (P ≤ 0.001) in both experiments. Responses between the two experiments were significantly correlated in relation to diameter
of cotyledon lesions caused by selected isolates (r = 0.79; P < 0.001, n = 48). Responses of some genotypes (e.g., cv. Charlton) were relatively consistent irrespective of the isolates of the pathogen
tested, whereas highly variable responses were observed in some other genotypes (e.g., Zhongyou-ang No. 4, Purler) against
the same isolates. Results indicate that, ideally, more than one S. sclerotiorum isolate should be included in any screening programme to identify host resistance. Unique genotypes which show relatively
consistent resistant reactions (e.g., cv. Charlton) across different isolates are the best for commercial exploitation of
this resistance in oilseed Brassica breeding programmes. 相似文献

Susceptibility of eggs of Tribolium confusum du Val. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), Ephestia kuehniella (Zell.) (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) to vapors of essential oil from garlic (Allium sativum L.), birch (Betula lenta L.), cinnamon (Cinnamonum zeylanicum (Blume)) and aniseed (Pimpinella anisum L.) was studied. Preliminary bioassay tests indicated that vapors of the essential oils had a significant effect on the eggs
of tested insect species when exposed to a concentration of 20 μl l
−1 air for 24 h. Generally, garlic and birch essential oils were more toxic to the eggs of tested insect species than cinnamon
and aniseed essential oils (except for eggs of T. confusum). There was also a significant difference between susceptibility of eggs of T. confusum, E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella to tested essential oils. Toxicity data indicated that eggs of T. confusum were more susceptible to tested essential oils, with LC90 values ranging from 3.11 to 33.49 μl l
−1 air, than those of E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella; eggs of P. interpunctella were the most tolerant to the essential oils, with LC90 values ranging from 22.02 to 72.42 μl l
−1 air. Concentration × time (Ct) products of 0.29, 0.22, 0.13 and 1.37 mg h l
−1 for garlic, birch, cinnamon and aniseed essential oil, respectively, were required to obtain 90% kill of T. confusum eggs. Although cinnamon essential oil had a much closer Ct product value to methyl bromide, garlic and birch essential oils
were found to be the most promising ones since they had also high fumigant toxicity on eggs of both E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella. 相似文献

The feeder roots of pepper plants (cv. California Wonder) in Campo de Cartagena (southeast Spain) were found to be severely
infected by Meloidogyne incognita. Morphometric traits, differential host test and DNA analysis based on PCR were used to characterize the nematode. Naturally
and artificially infected pepper plants showed severe yellowing and stunting, with heavily deformed and damaged root systems.
Root galls were spherical and commonly contained more than one female and egg masses with eggs. Typical giant cells with a
granular cytoplasm and many hypertrophied nuclei were observed in histological preparations. The relationship between initial
nematode population density (Pi) and pepper plant growth was tested in greenhouse experiments with inoculum levels that varied from 0 to 64 eggs and second-stage
juveniles (J2) ml−1 soil. A Seinhorst model was fitted to plant height and top fresh weight data of inoculated and non-inoculated plants. The
tolerance limit with respect to plant height and fresh top weight of pepper to M. incognita was estimated as 0.85 eggs and J2 ml−1 soil. The minimum relative values (m) for plant height and top fresh weight were 0.15 and 0.16, respectively, at Pi ≥ 64 eggs and J2 ml−1 soil. The maximum nematode reproduction rate (Pf/Pi) was 315.4 at an initial population density (Pi) of 4 eggs and J2 ml−1 soil. The obtained results could be used as a base to establish field experiments that allow strategies to prevent surpassing
the threshold of nematodes in fields that are infested. 相似文献

Root-knot nematodes (RKN) are obligate parasite species of the genus Meloidogyne that cause great losses in Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) plantations. Identification of resistant genotypes would facilitate the improvement of coffee varieties aiming at an
environmental friendly and costless nematode control. In this work, the C. arabica genotype ‘UFV 408-28’ was found to be resistant to the most destructive RKN species M. incognita. Pathogenicity assays indicated that the highly aggressive populations of M. incognita races 1, 2 and 3 were not able to successfully reproduce on ‘UFV 408-28’ roots and displayed a low gall index (GI = 2). An
average reduction of 87% reduction of the M. incognita population was observed on ‘UFV 408-28’ when compared to the susceptible cultivar ‘IAC 15’. By contrast, ‘UFV 408-28’ was
susceptible to the related species M. exigua and M. paranaensis (GI = 5 and 4, respectively). Histological observations performed on sections of UFV408-28 roots infected with M. incognita race 1 showed that nematode infection could be blocked right after penetration or during migration and establishment stages,
at 6 days, 7 days and 8 days after infection (DAI). Fluorescence and bright field microscopy observations showed that root
cells surrounding the nematodes exhibited HR-like features such as accumulation of phenolic compounds and a necrotic cell
aspect. In the susceptible ‘IAC 15’ roots, 6 DAI, feeding sites contained giant cells with a dense cytoplasm. Necrotic cells
were never observed throughout the entire infection cycle. The HR-like phenotype observed in the ‘UFV 408-28’—M. incognita interaction suggests that the coffee resistance may be mediated by a R-gene based immunity system and may therefore provide new insights for understanding the molecular basis of RKN resistance
in perennial crops. 相似文献

Resistance to the fungicide boscalid in laboratory mutants of Botryotinia fuckeliana (Botrytis cinerea) was investigated. The baseline sensitivity to boscalid was evaluated in terms of colony growth (EC50 = 0.3–3 μg ml−1; MIC = 10–30 μg ml−1) and conidial germination (EC50 = 0.03–0.1 μg ml−1; MIC = 1–3 μg ml−1) tests. Mutants were selected in vitro from wild-type strains of the fungus on a fungicide-amended medium containing acetate as a carbon source. Mutants showed
two different levels of resistance to boscalid, distinguishable through the conidial germination tests: low (EC50 ∼ 0.3 μg ml−1, ranging from 0.03 to 1 μg ml−1; MIC > 100 μg ml−1) and high (EC50 > 100 μg ml−1) resistance. Analysis of meiotic progeny from crosses between resistant mutants and sensitive reference strains showed that
resistant phenotypes were due to mutations in single major gene(s) inherited in a Mendelian fashion, and linked with both
the Daf1 and Mbc1 genes, responsible for resistance to dicarboximide and benzimidazole fungicides, respectively. Gene sequence analysis of
the four sub-units of the boscalid-target protein, the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme, revealed that single or double point
mutations in the highly conserved regions of the iron-sulphur protein (Ip) gene were associated with resistance. Mutations
resulted in proline to leucine or phenylalanine replacements at position 225 (P225L or P225F) in high resistant mutants, and
in a histidine to tyrosine replacement at position 272 (H272Y) in low resistant mutants. Sequences of the flavoprotein and
the two transmembrane sub-units of succinate dehydrogenase were never affected. 相似文献

A granulosis virus strain infecting Pieris brassicae (PbGV) was isolated from the dry temperate region of northwestern Himalayas as a potential microbial agent for its management.
The effect of different botanicals (having insecticidal action against P. brassicae) on the bioefficacy of PbGV was evaluated under laboratory conditions using leaf disc bioassays on cabbage for improving
the insecticidal performance of the PbGV. The synergistic action of different botanical extracts was evident in terms of reduction
in LC50 values against different botanical extracts. Among different extracts, petroleum-ether extract of neem seed kernel (NSK)
when combined with PbGV resulted in maximum reduction of LC50 value (4.39 × 102 occlusion bodies [OBs] ml−1) followed by methanolic extract (7.38 × 102 OBs ml−1) and aqueous extract (9.36 × 103 OBs ml−1) as compared with PbGV alone (1.85 × 104 OBs ml−1) for 2nd instar larvae of the test insect. These trends were found analogous in cases of 3rd and 4th instars of P. brassicae with different solvent extracts of NSK. The other botanicals evaluated, viz., Eupatorium and Artemesia, also resulted in reduction of LC50 values for 2nd, 3rd and 4th instars as compared with PbGV alone when different extracts were combined with virus for bioassays.
The studies suggest that the PbGV in combination with botanical pesticides could be more useful as a bio-pesticide against
cabbage butterfly (P. brassicae) in IPM programs. 相似文献

India has a rich biodiversity of microbes. Soil is the major source for isolation of entomopathogens, after the infected insects
themselves. Four isolates of Helicoverpa armigera nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HearNPV) were obtained from the samples collected one each from Anand, Surat and Junagadh of
Gujarat and Patancheru of Andhra Pradesh. All the HearNPV isolates appeared as clear, irregular six-sided objects with rounded
edges, phase-bright under phase contrast. Junagadh, Surat, Patancheru and Anand isolates gave 27.47–42.80%, 36.83–51.32%,
26.05–43.76% and 42.99–54.85% mortality, respectively, when the percent mortality was pooled over period. The least number
of HearNPV polyhedral inclusion bodies (PIBs) (5.1 × 107) of the Anand isolate were required to kill 50% of the H. armigera population within 120 h. The Anand isolate was fastest (90.30 h), followed by Surat (120.26 h), Junagadh (139.53 h) and Patancheru
(143.10 h) in killing 50% of the H. armigera population at a dose of 109 PIBs ml−1. RAPD analysis of all 15 arbitrary oligonucleotide primers generated 353 scorable bands with 201 loci. A total of 181 polymorphic
bands were obtained, ranging in size from 141 to 1,873 base pairs. The percentage of polymorphic loci was 90.19%. The mean
polymorphism information content (PIC) value for 15 primers was found to be 0.99. The similarity coefficient values based
on 15 RAPD markers ranged from 0.235 to 0.407. The four isolates were grouped into two clusters: one cluster consisted of
Junagadh and Anand and the second cluster consisted of Surat and Patancheru. 相似文献

Wild type (WT) field isolates of Bremia lactucae failed to germinate in vitro or infect lettuce leaves in the presence of CAA (carboxylic acid amide) fungicides. Minimal
inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for mandipropamid, dimethomorph, benthiavalicarb and iprovalicarb were 0.005, 0.5, 0.5 and
5 μg ml−1, respectively. Mutagenesis experiments showed that spores exposed to EMS (ethyl methane sulphonate) or UV irradiation (254 nm)
could infect lettuce leaves in the presence of up to 100 μg ml−1 CAA. The proportion of infected leaves relative to the number of spores inoculated (infection frequency) was inversely related
to the concentration of CAA used, ranging between 0 and 160 per 1 × 106 spores. Resistant mutants (RM) lost their resistance within 1–14 reproduction cycles on CAA-treated plants. Crosses were
made between RMxWT isolates and RMxRM isolates with an attempt to obtain stable homozygous resistant off-springs. Such crosses
yielded few resistant but unstable progeny isolates. Mutagenic treatments given to hybrid isolates also failed to produce
stable resistance. Previous gene sequencing data showed that stable resistance to CAAs is based on a single SNP in the cellulose synthase 3 (CesA3) gene of Plasmopara viticola. Therefore, we sequenced a 582 bp DNA fragment of Ces3A of WT, RM and hybrid isolates of B.lactucae. No mutation in this gene fragment was found. We conclude that mutagenic agents like EMS or UV may induce resistance to CAA
in Bremia lactucae but this resistance is not stable and not linked to mutations in CesA3 gene. 相似文献

In order to explore the molecular mechanisms of virulence and genetic variance of Curvularia lunata in maize, an ATMT (Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation) system was established in order to create a wide range of insertional transformants of C. lunata. Our results showed that the germinating conidia were the ideal starting material for transformation. Based on our optimised
transformation condition, the transformation efficiency of C. lunata with T-DNA was improved greatly, and the average transformation frequency was as high as 84 ± 5 transformants per 1 × 106 germlings. Southern blotting results of 39 randomly-selected transformants showed a unique hybridisation pattern and predominant
single-copy insertions. An ATMT library containing approximate 3000 transformants was generated, and four types of transformants
were screened in terms of growth rate, sporulation, mycelial pigmentation, and toxin production in vitro. This library will be used to identify genes involved in the virulence of the pathogen. 相似文献

The predatory insect Anthocoris minki Dohrn (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) is an indigenous Anthocoris species for the biological control of pests in pistachio orchards. The pistachio psylla Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Homoptera: Psyllidae) is an important insect pest in pistachio trees in Turkey. Similarly, Brachycaudus (Thuleaphis) amygdalinus (Schouteden) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a pest of almond trees that is considered as alternative prey for A. minki when pistachio psylla are not available in early spring on pistachio trees. The development time, survival percentage of
immature stages, longevity, fecundity, prey consumption, and life table parameters of A. minki fed on A. pistaciae and B. amygdalinus nymphs were determined at 25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 5% r.h., and a 16 h:8 h (L:D) photoperiod under laboratory conditions. The nymphal
survival rate was significantly higher when nymphs were fed on A. pistaciae (an average of 96.7%) than on B. amygdalinus (an average of 71.4%). The development time of A. minki was significantly shorter when nymphs were fed on B. amygdalinus (10.3 days) as opposed to A. pistaciae (11.0 days). No significant differences among prey species were found for longevity and fecundity. The total female longevity
and fecundity of A. minki was 38.0 days and 247.2 eggs, respectively, when nymphs were fed on A. pistaciae; and 35.4 days and 233.0 eggs, respectively, when nymphs were fed on B. amygdalinus. On average, 104.4 A. pistaciae and 77.7 B. amygdalinus nymphs were consumed during the nymphal development time for A. minki. Adults of A. minki consumed significantly more psyllids than aphids throughout their life span. The greater difference did not significantly
inpact the longevity and fecundity of A. minki. Females of A. minki consumed an average of 631.0 A. pistaciae and an average of 273.3 B. amygdalinus nymphs, while female predators consumed significantly more prey than males. The intrinsic rate of increase (r
m
) of A. minki fed on A. pistaciae (0.174) was significantly greater than those fed on B. amygdalinus (0.148). The successful development and reproduction of both A. pistaciae and B. amygdalinus indicates that they are suitable prey for A. minki. 相似文献

The genetic structure of 276 Sclerotinia sclerotiorum isolates representing 37 field populations from four provinces in northern Iran were analysed with six polymorphic microsatellite
loci. In total, 80 haplotypes were detected with 19 haplotypes (23.7%) shared amongst at least two regional populations. None
of the haplotypes were shared among all four regional populations. Of the 80 haplotypes, 32 haplotypes (40%) occurred in low
frequencies represented by only one isolate. Moderate levels of gene diversity (H = 0.51 to 0.61) and genotypic diversity (Ĝ = 12.0 to 22.0; clonal fraction = 0.39 to 0.67) for regional populations were observed. Genotypic diversities (Ĝ) did not differ significantly among populations. All regional populations were in linkage equilibrium indicating the occurrence
of outcrossing. Low to moderate levels of population subdivision (0.03 to 0.07), were observed among regional populations.
Only one large panmictic population was inferred by Structure, indicating no significant population structure. A Mantel test showed no significant isolation by distance (r = −0.43; P = 0.18), indicating anthropogenic movement of inoculum. The results demonstrated that S. sclerotiorum populations in northern Iran, are randomly mating and have a number of shared haplotypes among regional populations; this
possibly represents recent founder populations and/or a high occurrence of anthropogenic migration of infected plant material
among populations. 相似文献
