곤충병원선충(Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser) 기주 증식을 위해 실내 대량사육이 용이한 파밤나방(spodoptera exigua (Hubner))과 담배거세미나방(Sp. litura (Fabricius))유충에서 병원성과 증식선충수를 조사하였다. 반수치사 병원선충수는 두 기주간 또는 발육시기에 따라 차이가 없었으나 기주내에 증식된 선충수는 기주의 크기에 비례하였다. 온도에 따른 선충의 증식은 온도가 증가함에 따라 기주내 최대 감염태 선충수(담배거세미나방 5령충에서 약 500,000마리, 파밤나방 5령충에서 약 100,000 마리)를 보이는 소요기간이 $25^{\circ}C$에는 접종 후 6일이나 $20^{\circ}C$에서는 12일로 길어졌다.

We have isolated and characterized a new insect chicken type (c-type) lysozyme gene from the common cutworm, Spodoptera litura. The full-length cDNA of Spodoptera lysozyme is cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR (RACE-PCR). The isolated cDNA consists of 1039 bp including the coding region for a 142-amino acid residue polypeptide, which included a signal peptide of 21-amino acid residue and a mature protein of 121-amino acid residue. The predicted molecular weight of mature lysozyme and its theoretical isoelectric point from amino acid composition is 13964.8 Da and 9.05, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of Spodoptera lysozyme gene shows the highest similarity (96.7%) to Spodoptera exigua lysozyme among other lepidopteran species. Amino acid sequence comparison with other the c-type lysozymes, Spodoptera lysozyme has the completely conserved $Glu^{32}$ and $Asp^{50}$ of the active site and eight Cys residues are completely conserved in the same position as that of other lepidopteran lysozymes.

곤충탈피호르몬의 비스테로이드계 길항제인 RH 5849는 엽침적법으로 처리했을 때 담배거세미나방(Spodoptera litura)의 전 유충 발육단계에 걸쳐서 거의 비슷한 $LC_{50}$ 값을 보여주었다(18.1~26.5 ppm). 4령 유충에서 섭식저해율은 처리농도에 따라 비례하였고, 4.2ppm 으로 엽침적처리된 양배추 엽편을 먹은 3령 유충의 체중증가는 처리 후 48시간 이후부터 정체되었다. 양배추와 담배의 전 식물체에 대한 RH 5849의 침투성 약효발현이 관찰되었는데, 약 20ppm(mg/kg soil)이하의 $LC_{50}$ 값이 양배추에서는 15일, 담배에서는 30일 가량 지속되었다.

Vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vips) are insecticidal proteins synthesized by Bacillus thuringiensis during the vegetative stage of growth. In this study, Vip3Aa protein, obtained by in vitro expression of the vip3Aa gene from B. thuringiensis WB5, displayed high insecticidal activity against Spodoptera litura aside from Spodoptera exigua and Helicoverpa armigera. Bioassay results showed that the toxicity of Vip3Aa protein against S. litura larvae statistically decreased along with the increase of the age of the larvae, with LC₅₀ = 2.609 ng/cm² for neonatal larvae, LC₅₀ = 28.778 ng/cm² for first instar larvae, LC₅₀ = 70.460 ng/cm² for second instar larvae, and LC₅₀ = 200.627 ng/cm² for third instar larvae. The accumulative mortality of 100% larvae appeared at 72 h for all instars of S. litura larvae, when feeding respectively with 83.22, 213.04, 341.40, and 613.20 ng/cm² of Vip3Aa toxin to the neonatal and first to third instar larvae. The histopathological effects of Vip3Aa toxin on the midgut epithelial cells of S. litura larvae was also investigated. The TEM observations showed wide damage of the epithelial cell in the midgut of S. litura larvae fed with Vip3Aa toxin.

담배거세미나방에(Spodoptera litura)에 의한 콩의 피해해석을 하고자 콩 생육기 및 담배거세미나방 유충 밀도를 달리하여 조사한 결과 콩 생육시기별 유충 밀도에 따른 수량감소율과의 관계식은 개화기에는 (1) Y = 1.655X - 6.025 ($R^{2}=0.952$), 착협기에는 (2) Y = 0.725X - 0.475 ($R^{2}=0.986$), 립비대기에는 (3) Y = 0.635X - 1.325 ($R^{2}=0.986$)였다. 이 관계식을 근거로 하여 콩 생육시기별 피해허용수준(수량감소 5% 기준)을 산출한 결과, 주당 2-3령 유충의 밀도는 개화기6.7 마리, 착협기 7.5마리, 립비대기는 10.0마리였다. $28^{\circ}C$에서 1령, 2령, 3령, 4령, 5령 및 6령 유충의 1일 섭식량은 0.3, 0.7, 2.6, 4.0, 20.1 및 $55.8\;cm^{2}$ 이었다.

The efficacies of several entomopathogenic nematodes of Steinernema and Heterorhabditis spp. were examined against tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius. H. bacteriophora HY showed 100% mortality after 20 h against 2nd instar of tobacco cutworm. In the case of 3-4th instar, S. carpocapsae PC, H. bacteriophora HY and S. monticola CR showed 100% mortality after 47 h. In the case of 5-6th instar, S. carpocapsae PC proved more effective than the others. Generally, the number of nematodes harvested as their size decreased. Also, the highest number of nematodes was obtained in the 5-6th instar of S. litura by H. bacteriophora HY, showing about $1.3{\times}10^6$ nematodes per larva. In vitro cultured S. carpocapsae PC showed 100% mortality after 73 h against 5-6th instar tobacco cutworm, indicating that nematodes produced in vitro can be potentially used for the biological control of S. litura instead of nematodes in vivo.

Midgut microbiota is known to play a fundamental role in the biology and physiology of the agricultural pest, Spodoptera litura. This study reports the difference in the larval midgut microbiota of field-caught and laboratory-reared populations of S. litura by performing 16S rDNA amplicon pyrosequencing. Field populations for the study were collected from castor crops, whereas laboratory-reared larvae were fed on a regular chickpea based diet. In total, 23 bacterial phylotypes were observed from both laboratory-reared and field-caught caterpillars. Fisher's exact test with Storey's FDR multiple test correction demonstrated that bacterial genus, Clostridium was significantly abundant (p < 0.05) in field-caught larvae of S. litura as compared to that in the laboratory-reared larvae. Similarly, bacterial genera, such as Bradyrhizobium, Burkholderia, and Fibrisoma were identified (p < 0.05) predominantly in the laboratory-reared population. The Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix depicted a value of 0.986, which exhibited the maximum deviation between the midgut microbiota of the laboratory-reared and field-caught populations. No significant yeast diversity was seen in the laboratory-reared caterpillars. However, two yeast strains, namely Candida rugosa and Cyberlindnera fabianii were identified by PCR amplification and molecular cloning of the internal transcribed space region in the field-caught caterpillars. These results emphasize the differential colonization of gut residents based on environmental factors and diet.

가을재배 배추에서 담배거세미나방 접종시기와 접종밀도에 따라 배추 수량에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 수량감소율에 따른 요방제 수준을 설정하였다. 포장조건에서 담배거세미나방 접종밀도가 다르게 접종하고 3주 동안 배추의 피해엽율을 조사하여 접종밀도와 수량감소율과의 관계식을 산출한 결과, 정식초기(정식 5일 후)는 Y=-21.85X+1300 ($R^2=0.997$)였고, 정식중기(정식 20일 후)는 Y=-12.1X+1382 ($R^2=0.998$)였다. 담배거세미나방 유충밀도와 수량과의 관계식으로 배추 수량 5%를 경감시키는 담배거세미나방 밀도는 정식초기는 2.9마리/100주, 정식중기는 5.6마리/100주 였다.

The cDNA clone encoding the antibacterial peptide (SL-1) was isolated from the fat body of the common cutworm, Spodoptera litura, immunized with E. coli K12. The primary structure analysis revealed that its deduced amino acid sequence showed the characteristics of the cecropin family antibacterial peptides and that the amino acid residues highly conserved in the antibacterial peptides from moths and flies were also conserved, implying that SL-1 was a cecropin-like, and especially cecropin B-like, peptide. The predicted secondary structure of the mature SL-1 consists of three domains: (i) an amphiphilic ${\alpha}$-helical domain (Ile-4 to Gly-18); (ii) the hinge region (Gly-23 and Pro-24); and (iii) a hydrophobic domain (Ala-25 to IIe-38).

담배거세미나방(Spodoptera litura Fabricius)의 체내빙결점과 내한성이 검정되었다. 체내빙결점은 발육시기에 따라 다양했다. 알(약 -$27^{\circ}C$)이 가장 낮았고 용과 성충(약 $-18^{\circ}C$)이 다음이었으며 유충이 (-1$0^{\circ}C$~-$16^{\circ}C$) 가장 높은 온도를 기록했다. 유충의 체내빙결점은 유충의 영기가 진행함에 따라 상승했다. 각 발육단계의 치사저온온도는 각자의 체내빙결점보다 높았다. 알과 유충을 아치사온도에 미리 노출시킴으로서 치사온도에 대한 생존력을 높였다. 아치사온도는 또한 5령충의 혈림프 삼투압을 증가시켰으며 저온에 특이적인 단백질들(20과 27kD)을 발현하게 했다. 이상의 결과는 이 해충이 동결감수성 곤충류에 속함을 나타낸다.
