Effect of host plant resistance and insecticide on brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) and predator population development in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

AbstractThe brown planthopperNilaparvata lugensStål is one of the major insect pests of riceOryza sativaL. The host resistance exhibits profound effects on growth, development and propagation ofN. lugens. To investigate the molecular response ofN. lugensto host resistance, a cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) technique was employed to identify the differentially expressed genes in the nymphs feeding on three rice varieties. Of the 2800 cDNA bands analysed, 54 were up-regulated and seven down-regulated qualitatively inN. lugenswhen the ingestion sources were changed from susceptible rice plants to resistant ones. Sequence analysis of the differential transcript-derived fragments showed that the genes involved in signalling, stress response, gene expression regulation, detoxification and metabolism were regulated by host resistance. Four of the transcript-derived fragments corresponding to genes encoding for a putative B subunit of phosphatase PP2A, a nemo kinase, a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and a prolyl endopeptidase were further characterized in detail. Northern blot analysis confirmed that the expression of the four genes was enhanced inN. lugensfeeding on resistant rice plants. The roles of these genes in the defensive response ofN. lugensto host plant resistance were discussed.

Nilaparvata Lugens Stål

AbstractThe feeding responses, growth and population development of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) are quantified on a range of twelve susceptible or resistant host-plants. Paris of rice varieties carrying the Bph1, bph2 and Bph3 resistance genes are compared as hosts for N. lugens, and it is concluded that such notations do not adequately describe the diversity of plant resistance mechanisms. Evidence is presented for resistance mechanisms involving enhanced insect activity and gustatory responses to unacceptable phloem.

Nilaparvata Lugens Stål

AbstractThe development of adults of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) reared on one susceptible and one resistant variety of rice plants of different ages was compared. Throughout the range of plants tested there was an overall trend for the newly moulted adult to synthesise and store a reserve of lipid and to lose most of the stored glycogen accumulated during the nymphal stage. N. lugens has two wing morphs, and whilst lipid deposits were greatest in the macropterous ‘migrant’ males, in females it was the brachypterous ‘reproductive’ insects that had the highest lipid deposits and also the greatest residual body weight. However, because of their lower body weight, the macropterous females had the greater percentage of lipid. Both flight willingness and the percentage of macropterous females showing flight-orientated physiological development increased with the age of the host-plant. Both survival and migration potential were lower in insects reared on the resistant rice variety compared to those reared on the susceptible variety. The pattern of post-flight resynthesis of fuels suggests that more than one major migration is unlikely.

Nilaparvata Lugens Stål

Susceptibility of the rice brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) from six locations in Java to three insecticides. The rice brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is one of the important rice pests in Indonesia. Despite relatively frequent use of insecticides to control this pest, data on BPH resistance to insecticides commonly used by farmers in Indonesia is scarce. This study was conducted to assess the susceptibility of BPH from six locations in Java to three insecticides, i.e. BPMC, imidacloprid, and pymetrozine, and to find out the historical use of insecticides by rice farmers. The first laboratory generations of BPH adults were subjected to insecticide treatments using a leaf dip residual method as described in IRAC Method No 005. Resistance factor (RF) for BPMC and imidacloprid was determined by comparing LC50 of each insecticide against BPH field populations with that against the reference population, whereas the susceptibility of BPH to pymetrozine was assessed based on inhibition of BPH population development. The three insecticides used in this study were commonly used by farmers in the six sampling locations and those insecticides were mostly used twice per rice growing season. BPH populations from all six locations as well as the reference population were susceptible to pymetrozine in which the treatment with pymetrozine at 50 ppm (one-fifth of the recommended field rate) caused 100% inhibition of BPH population development. BPH from five locations showed resistance to imidacloprid (RF > 4), but that from Pasuruan did not (RF 2.0). BPH from Indramayu was resistant to BPMC (RF 6.6) whereas those from the other five locations were not (RF < 4). Exposure of the reference population to a sublethal dose of insecticides (LC50 or IC50) decreased the susceptibility of the third BPH generation to pymetrozine and BPMC but not to imidacloprid.
