锈色粒肩天牛寄主选择机制初步分析-preliminary analysis on host selection mechanism of monochamus alternatus.docx

AbstractHerbivorous insects often use host plants volatiles in search of food and spawning sites. The smell of plants, kairomones used in insects host location, is information compounds in the process of two nutritional relationship building between plants and herbivorous insects. Many factors affect on insects in its choice of host plants, such as the chemical composition of plants, plant morphological characteristics, environmental factors (light, temperature, humidity, etc.) and other organisms and so on. However, chemicalreceptors are mainly used to identify the signal substances (primarily plant secondary metabolites) of plants for herbivorous insects. We selected several common host plants of Apriona swainsoni (Hope) based on historical records in our study. We further clarified the host range of A. swainsoni by observation on its host selection behavior indoor and outdoor. Then, we analysis the volatile compounds in different host in order to understand the host selection mechanism. Application of the solvent distillation trapped the VOCs from the twigs and leaves of Sophora japonica Linn., then the extracts were used to field trapping tests in preliminary study of of plant attractants for prevention and control of A. swainsoni. The following description will be divided into seven parts:By “Y”-tube Olfactometer, we studied the response of A. swainsoni adult towards odor sources from seven different trees, such as S. japonica, Robinia pseudoacacia cv. idaho, Salix babylonica Linn., Koelreuteria paniculata, Koelreuteria paniculata var. intergrifola, Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston and Dalbergia hupeana Hance respectively. The results showed that, the twigs and leaves of S. japonica have a strong attractiveness to adult A. swainsoni. The same to R. pseudoacacia, K. paniculata, K. paniculata var. intergrifola and C. decapetala to female adult, but there is no obvious difference among these four species. Twigs and leaves of S. japonica have the strongest attr
