简介:【背景】沙巴拟刀角瓢虫和越南斧瓢虫是自东南亚地区引进的粉虱类害虫的优势捕食性天敌,然而其控制烟粉虱的有效性尚未明确。【方法】在室内研究了2种瓢虫幼虫捕食烟粉虱若虫时取食、爬行与休息等行为的时间分配,以及2种瓢虫幼虫和成虫在既定时间内对烟粉虱的取食时间和取食量。【结果】随着瓢虫幼虫龄期的增大,其取食烟粉虱低龄和高龄若虫的时间和休息时间均逐渐减少,而爬行寻找猎物的时间逐渐增多。沙巴拟刀角瓢虫幼虫取食烟粉虱各虫态的时间显著长于越南斧瓢虫幼虫,取食量也显著大于后者;而沙巴拟刀角瓢虫成虫取食烟粉虱的时间长于越南斧瓢虫成虫,但取食量明显低于后者。【结论与意义】2种瓢虫对烟粉虱都有较好的捕食作用,但其时间分配策略有所不同。因此,应根据田间烟粉虱的发生时期,选择合适的瓢虫进行释放。

简介:目的:对目前最常用的检测微小RNA(miRNA)的茎环实时定量PCR法和PAP实时定量PCR法进行比较。方法:分别用茎环实时定量PCR法和PAP实时定量PCR法检测人乳腺癌细胞MCF-7中U6和23种miRNA的表达,利用定量PCR分析软件和琼脂糖凝胶电泳方法,将2种方法在引物设计难度、特异性与灵敏度,以及检测通量方面进行比较。结果:茎环法的特异性和灵敏度比PAP法高,但引物设计难度大,检测通量低;PAP法引物设计难度较低,检测通量较高,但特异性和灵敏度较差。结论:茎环法实时定量PCR适于有针对性地检测小规模miRNA,而PAP法则适于大规模miRNA筛选实验。
简介:提炼俄语的小麦蚜虫(RWA),Diuraphisnoxia(Mordvilko)(Homoptera:Aphididae),是小谷物的一个主要害虫。就象喂植物的蚜虫一般来说,在RWA和主人植物之间的相互作用被管理在昆虫方面上,由在口水的蛋白质和酶。在这个工作,我们在编码RWA唾液的腺的蛋白质和酶的抄本检验了顺序变化。我们在1和2份使用的教材从豌豆蚜虫orthologs导出的RWA遗传因子型进行了反向的抄写聚合酶链反应,并且克隆17个通常认为的唾液的腺抄本的区域。为四个抄本,我们没在在二遗传因子型之间的序列观察差别。为另外的13个抄本,例如编码蔗糖酶,trehalase和蛋白质C002的抄本,在每遗传因子型以内并且在二遗传因子型之间,大量变化被观察。通常,二遗传因子型分享了仅仅一变体,它典型地是在两遗传因子型的最普通的变体。大多数抄本比同义的codon在他们的变体之中变化的有非同义的更多。我们的结果为区分二遗传因子型和卓见进他们的进化提供可能的分子的标记。
