摘要:

草地贪夜蛾自2018年12月11日入侵云南后已在我国定殖并形成了周年繁殖区,春夏季将以周年繁殖区为起点向北迁飞。明确其周年发生区域,对指导我国草地贪夜蛾的监测预警及科学防控工作具有重要意义。对冬季草地贪夜蛾在我国热带和亚热带地区的种群动态研究表明,幼虫虫口密度与冬季温度显著正相关,热带地区草地贪夜蛾幼虫种群密度最高,其次为南亚热带地区,而中亚热带北部地区和北亚热带地区未见草地贪夜蛾幼虫发生。研究结果指出草地贪夜蛾在我国1月份等温线10℃以南的热带和南亚热带地区可周年繁殖,该区域包括海南省和台湾省,以及福建、广东、广西、贵州和云南五省的南部区域。该研究明确了草地贪夜蛾的在中国的周年繁殖区域,为该虫区域性监测预警及防控提供了重要依据。


Abstract:

The fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, which originated in the Americas, is advancing across China and threatening the nation’s maize crops.  Currently, one widely used tool for its control is genetically modified (GM) Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) maize.  Sufficient content of Bt protein in appropriate plant parts is crucial for enhancing resistance against insect pests.  In this study, we conducted a systematic investigation of Cry1Ab levels in Chinese domestic GM maize DBN9936, which has recently obtained a biosafety certificate, and evaluated its efficacy against FAW.  Quantification of expression levels of Cry1Ab, via ELISA, indicated a spatio-temporal dynamic, with significant variation of mean Cry1Ab, ranging from 0.76 to 8.48 μg g–1 FW with the Cry1Ab protein level ranked as: V6–V8 leaf>R1 leaf>R4 leaf>R1 silk>VT tassel>R4 kernel.  Among the nine locations, the Cry1Ab levels in DBN9936 of the Xinxiang, Langfang, and Harbin fields were significantly lower than those from Wuhan and Shenyang, and were slightly, but not significantly lower than those from the other four fields.  Furthermore, the artificial diet–Cry1Ab mixture and plant tissue feeding bioassays revealed that DBN9936 has high efficacy against FAW.  The insecticidal efficacy of different tissues against FAW larvae reached 34–100% with a descending order of lethality as follows: VT leaf>R4 leaf>R1 husk>R1 silk>VT tassel>R4 kernel.  Taken together, our results showed that Bt-Cry1Ab maize DBN9936 has potential as a promising strategy to manage FAW.
