Abstract: According to our observations on Pieris brassicae l. larvae reared in 1994 and 1995 in our laboratory, the ones kept at 23°C and 25°C and at 13:11 LD photoperiod went to 100 percent into diapause while the ones kept at 14:10 LD diapaused only to 50 percent. At the highest temperature level (28 degrees C) only 60 percent of larvae entered diapause at 13:11 LD and none of them at 14:10 LD photoperiod. At the longer light periods (15:9, 16:8, 17:7 LD) all larvae transformed into adults, without diapause. The various rearing temperatures and photoperiods resulted in differences of the head capsule measurements of larvae. Simultaneously to increasing temperature the widhts of head capsules decreased of all larval stages.

NAL call number: QL461.E532
Abstract: A male Cadra cautella (walker) flying in a windless environment first reacts behaviorally to the sex pheromone plume of a calling female from a distance of approximately 40 cm. Its angular velocity (turning rate in degrees per second) increases and, if it approaches within approximately 20 cm, its velocity decreases gradually until it lands near the female. The orientation pattern differs from orientation in wind primarily in the fraction of turns with net movement away from the female, initially approximately 0.5. This fraction decreases to approximately 0.2 if the male approaches within approximately 10 cm. Previously developed computer models suggest that such behavior is less efficient for finding a pheromone source than pheromone-stimulated optomotor anemotaxis but more efficient than random searching. Thus, it can be expected that pheromone traps are less effective at sampling remote populations of insects in a warehouse than in a field, but are helpful in pinpointing nearby infestations.

Abstract: The paper presents the results of several light intensity determinations, of carbon dioxide concentrations and of draft speed in a climatised IFET type rearing house. Light intensity which was unevenly distributed on the rearing area showed high variations between 3-800 lux. The carbon dioxide build-up determined in the house populated at the highest capacity increased at the same time with larvae aging without exceeding the highest admitted level of 0,5 percent for the silk worm. The draft speed, depending on the relative humidity and on the airing system had average values up to 0,280 m/s.

NAL call number: QR1.E9
Abstract: The continuous growth of Spodoptera frugiperda Sf-9 cells in a 250-ml blown-glass jacketed spinner flask under a direct air sparging environment was investigated. Even at 220 ml working volume (about 90% of total volume), this spinner flask provided good mixing and oxygenation as demonstrated by a higher cell density compared with fermentor cultures. This eliminates a common limitation of the traditional spinner flask, namely much lower cell density at high working volume. Furthermore, this spinner flask has been run with Sf-9 cell culture at five different dilution rates and two different air sparging rates at steady state, demonstrating its utility in research applications where cell size, metabolic activity and environmental conditions can be constantly maintained. In addition to demonstrating the utility of the reactor, three novel points are made in this report. First, cell density in continuous cultures is increased significantly due to a high agitation rate and, especially, air sparging rate, which is seldom used in animal cell or insect cell culture. Second, there is no apparent difference in the specific death rate at two different sparging rates (0.0093 vvm and 0.0125 vvm). Finally, we have maintained Sf-9 cells for more than 4 months in a continuous culture using a serum-free medium without loss of recombinant protein expression in infected cells.

NAL call number: 448.8 V81
Abstract: A laboratory culture of Mamestra brassicae insects (MbLC) has been found to harbor a latent baculovirus infection. The latent virus was activated by feeding the M. brassicae larvae with either the closely related Panolis flammea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV), or the distantly related Autographa californica NPV. Restriction fragment profiles of the activated virus DNA showed that it is very closely related, if not identical, to M. brassicae NPV. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of polyhedrin gene sequences demonstrated that the latent virus was present throughout the life cycle of the insect; eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. We failed to detect the presence of a latent virus in a second culture of M. brassicae insects, obtained from the environment and only recently adapted to growth in laboratory conditions, and thus these insects acted as an effective negative control in all the PCR and activation experiments. Using PCR analysis of DNA isolated from dissected tissues of fourth instar MbLC larvae, latent virus sequences were only detected in the fat body. Cell lines established from the isolated MbLC fat body tissue were also shown to harbor the latent virus sequences and should prove useful in further studies to elucidate the mechanisms of latency and virus activation.

NAL call number: 410 Au73
Abstract: Effects of rearing conditions of larvae on the body weight and flight duration of the light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana (walker), were evaluated in the laboratory. The body weight of both male and female moths at emergence decreased with increasing temperature from 15 to 28 deg C during larval stages; in contrast, flight duration increased with rising temperature. There was no effect of larval density on flight duration, although the body weight of moths decreased as density increased. Variation in water content of artificial diet showed a significant influence on flight duration of female moths, but not on body weight in either sex. Flight duration was different only for females when their larvae were reared on young leaves of four host plants. Female moths from larvae on Rumex crispus and Plantago lanceolata flew for significantly longer periods than those from larvae on Trifolium repens and Pyrus malus. Larvae fed on young leaves yielded adults that flew for longer periods than those fed on senescent leaves. Inconsistency in relationships between body weight and flight duration of moths with respect to influences of different environmental factors during the larval stages indicates that flight capacity is unlikely to be influenced by body size in this species.

NAL call number: QH442.A1G4
Abstract: The baculovirus/insect cell system has been remarkably successful in yielding high levels of synthesis of many proteins which have been difficult to synthesize in other host/vector systems. The system is also capable of secreting heterologous proteins, but with generally low efficiency. We have increased the efficiency of secretion of the system by using signal peptides of insect origin to direct the secretion of a foreign protein. The precursor of the plant cysteine protease papain (propapain) has been used as a report enzyme to compare secretion efficiency. Insect cells infected with a baculovirus recombined with the gene encoding propapain fused to the sequence encoding the honeybee melittin signal peptide secreted over five times more papain precursor than the wild-type prepropapain which used the plant signal peptide. Based on these results, we have assembled pVT-Bac, an Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus transfer vector that may enhance secretion of other foreign proteins from insect cells. The vector incorporates a number of features: phage f1 ori to facilitate site-directed mutagenesis, the strong polyhedrin promoter upstream from the melittin signal peptide-encoding sequence, and eight unique restriction sites to facilitate fusion of heterologous genes.

Abstract: The effect of high temperature (38-43 degrees C) and low relative humidities (10-22 %) on Lobesia botrana eggs mortality was studied in laboratory during different exposition times. It was observed that at 40 degrees C of temperature and 20 % of relative humidity during 6 hours or 40 degrees C of temperature and 10 % of humidity during 3 hours there was not appreciable mortality. However at 43 degrees C of temperature and 10 % of humidity during 5 h. 30 min. the mortality was notable. In conclusion field observations are necessary for checking the laboratory studies, which are the preliminary contribution in the knowledge of insect eggs natural mortality.
