Undamaged plants are known to suffer less damage from herbivores when previously exposed to airborne factors from neighboring plants that are either infested or artificially damaged. However, to date, the effects of such a defensive phenomenon on performance of herbivorous insects have not been clearly shown. Here, we studied such effects in an interaction between a willow plant, Salix eriocarpa Franchet et Savatier (Salicales: Salicaceae), and a specialist leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora (Laicharting) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). In a wind tunnel, uninfested willow plants were placed downwind of willow plants infested by leaf beetle larvae for 4 days. As a control, we placed uninfested plants downwind of uninfested plants in the tunnel. After exposure, downwind plants were served to leaf beetle larvae. Pupal weight, larval survival rates, and the leaf area consumed by larvae all decreased significantly, and larval developmental duration increased significantly, when larvae fed on willow plants downwind of infested plants were compared with those downwind of uninfested plants. These results showed that airborne factors from infested willow plants negatively affected the performance of leaf beetle larvae. Further studies are needed to identify the active factor(s) from the infested willow plants affecting the performance of leaf beetle larvae. 相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMNC) is one of powerful tools for therapeutic angiogenesis in hindlimb ischemia. However, traditional approaches with transplanted PBMNCs show poor therapeutic effects in severe ischemia patients. In this study, we used autograft models to determine whether hypoxic pretreatment effectively enhances the cellular functions of PBMNCs and improves hindlimb ischemia. Rabbit PBMNCs were cultured in the hypoxic condition. After pretreatment, cell adhesion, stress resistance, and expression of angiogenic factor were evaluated in vitro. To examine in vivo effects, we autografted preconditioned PBMNCs into a rabbit hindlimb ischemia model on postoperative day (POD) 7. Preconditioned PBMNCs displayed significantly enhanced functional capacities in resistance to oxidative stress, cell viability, and production of vascular endothelial growth factor. In addition, autologous transplantation of preconditioned PBMNCs significantly induced new vessels and improved limb blood flow. Importantly, preconditioned PBMNCs can accelerate vessel formation despite transplantation on POD 7, whereas untreated PBMNCs showed poor vascularization. Our study demonstrated that hypoxic preconditioning of PBMNCs is a feasible approach for increasing the retention of transplanted cells and enhancing therapeutic angiogenesis in ischemic tissue. 相似文献

Anoxia tolerance and ethanol sensitivity of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and oat (Avena sativa L.) seedlings were evaluated to clarify their growth habit in anoxia. Anoxic stress inhibited elongation and dry weight gain
of coleoptiles of the oat and rice seedlings; however, the inhibition of the oat coleoptiles was much greater than that of
the rice coleoptiles. Anoxic stress increased endogenous ethanol concentration and alcohol dehydrogenase activity in oat and
rice coleoptiles and their increases in the rice coleoptiles were much greater than those in the oat coleoptiles. At concentrations
greater than 30 mM and 300 mM, exogenously applied ethanol inhibited the elongation and weight gain for the oat and the rice
coleoptiles, respectively, and the inhibition was increased with increasing ethanol concentrations with marked inhibition
being achieved on the oat coleoptiles. These results suggest that anoxia tolerance and induction of ethanolic fermentation
in anoxia may be greater in rice than oat, and ethanol sensitivity of rice may be lower than that of oat. 相似文献

Background
The western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis [Pergande]) is one of the most important insect herbivores of cultivated plants. However, no pesticide provides complete control of this species, and insecticide resistance has emerged around the world. We previously reported the important role of jasmonate (JA) in the plant's immediate response to thrips feeding by using an Arabidopsis leaf disc system. In this study, as the first step toward practical use of JA in thrips control, we analyzed the effect of JA-regulated Arabidopsis defense at the whole plant level on thrips behavior and life cycle at the population level over an extended period. We also studied the effectiveness of JA-regulated plant defense on thrips damage in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis). 相似文献7.

n-Acetylglycine, n-propionylglycine, n-butyrylglycine, isobutyrylglycine, n-valerylglycine, isovalerylglycine, heptanoylglycine, phenylacetylglycine and isovalerylglucuronide were identified based on their liquid chromatographic-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectra (LC-APCI-MS). We were able to detect the presence of urinary isovalerylglycine in two cases of isovaleric acidemia using LC-APCI-MS. Membrane-filtered urine samples were injected into the LC-APCI-MS system in the negative-ion mode without any further pretreatment, and large amounts of isovalerylglycine were detected as the [M − H]− ion. The urinary excretion of isovalerylglycine appeared to increase after
-carnitine therapy. This analytical method is quick and easy and it may be a useful tool in understanding dysfunctional conditions in isovaleric acidemia. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of the presence of a selective insecticide, pyridalyl, in aqueous solutions of honey as food for adults of diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella (L.) and its larval parasitoid Cotesia vestalis (Halliday) on their performances. We used a commercial formulation of pyridalyl which contained 10% pyridalyl. Survival times of DBMs reared with honey solution with pyridalyl at 10 000‐fold dilution were not significantly different from those of DBMs reared with pure honey solution. However, at 1000‐fold and 100‐fold dilutions of pyridalyl in honey solution, survival times were significantly shorter than those with honey solution alone. By contrast, survival times of C. vestalis reared with honey solution with pyridalyl at 1000‐fold and 100‐fold dilution were not significantly different from those of C. vestalis reared with pure honey solution. Offering honey solution with pyridalyl at 100‐fold dilution to C. vestalis did not affect its parasitization ability or offspring sex ratio. The novel aspects of the use of selective pesticides to control DBMs using C. vestalis are discussed. 相似文献
