    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Drei Blattlausarten, Schizaphis graminum, Acyrthosiphon pisum and Myzus persicae, zeigten deutliche Unterschiede in ihrem Probeverhalten auf künstlichen Nährmedien, die mit dünnen (〈200 μm), verschiedene Mono- und Polysaccharide enthaltenden Agarschichten bedeckt waren. Die in den Agarschichten enthaltenen Monosaccharide bewirkten bei allen drei Arten eine deutliche Steigerung des Probeverhaltens. Im Gegensatz dazu war der Einfluss der Polysaccharide von Art zu Art verschieden. Sechs von sieben getesteten pflanzlichen Matrixpolysacchariden beeinflussten deutlich das Probeverhalten von Schizaphis graminum und Acyrthosiphon pisum. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde das Probeverhalten von Myzus persicae nur von einem der untersuchten Polysaccharide beeinflusst. Die Zahl der Wirtspflanzen für Schizaphis graminum und Acyrthosiphon pisum ist relativ klein im Vergleich zu der von Myzus persicae. Dies ist möglicherweise darauf zurückzuführen, daß die Fähigkeit, chemosensorisch zwischen pflanzlichen Matrixpolysacchariden zu unterscheiden, bei Myzus persicae weniger stark ausgeprägt ist. Elektronische Registrierung des Probeverhaltens zeigte, daß Schizaphis graminum vor der Aufnahme der künstlichen Nährmedien zunächst die darüber liegenden Agarschichten testete. Dies geschah durch Einstechen des Stiletts in die Agarschicht, Absonderung von Speichel, Aufsaugen der verflüssigten Matrix und auschliessendes Wiederausstoßen. Das Probeverhalten von Schizaphis graminum auf Trifluoroacetylpektin, welches eine Aufnahme der darunter liegenden Nährstoffe verhinderte, war vergleichbar zu dem Probeverhalten von Schizaphis Graminum auf resistenten oder Nichtwirtspflanzen. Andererseits glich das Probeverhalten von Schizaphis graminum stark methyliertem Pektin, welche die Nährstoffaufnahme steigerte, dem auf natürlichen Wirtspflanzen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung zeigen, daß pflanzliche Matrixpolysaccharide für die Wechselwirkung zwischen Blattläusen und Pflanzen keine chemisch inerten Komponenten darstellen. Der unterschiedliche Einfluss der pflanzlichen Matrixpolysaccharide auf die verschiedenen Blattlausarten zeigt, daß diese pflanzlichen Biopolymere eine entscheidene Rolle bei der Erkennung von Wirtspflanzen durch Blattläuse spielen könnten. Darüberhinaus zeigt das extrem unterschiedliche Probeverhalten von Schizaphis graminum auf Trifluoroacetyl- bzw. stark methyliertem Pektin, daß selbst geringe Änderungen in den chemischen Eigenschaften dieser Komponenten das Probeverhalten von Blattläusen deutlich beeinflussen können.
    Notes: Abstract Three species of aphids, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) (the greenbug), Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (the pea aphid) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (the green peach aphid), showed significantly different behavioral responses to various plant mono- or polysaccharides incorporated within thin (〈200 μm) films of agar overlaying artificial diets. Thirteen polysaccharides (i.e.: polygalacturonic acid, low methoxy pectin, high methoxy pectin, arabinogalactan, xylan, galactan, cellulose, starch, amylose, laminarin, dextran, 2,3-diacetyl pectin and trifluoroacetyl pectin) and 5 monosaccharides (arabinose, xylose, galactose, glucose and galacturonic acid) were tested in paired choices against a control overlay containing only agar. Glucose, dextran and laminarin were the only compounds that all three species of aphids responded to similarly (viz., glucose stimulated, dextran had no effect and laminarin deterred ingestion of underlying diets). None of the aphids exhibited negative responses to the monosaccharides tested. These monosaccharides either had no significant effect or were stimulatory. The polysaccharides tested induced a variation of unaltered, stimulatory or inhibitory behavioral responses in the 3 species of aphids. The behavioral responses of both greenbugs and pea aphids, which are oligophagous, were significantly affected by 6 out of 7 plant matrix polysaccharides tested. Feeding behavior by green peach aphids was affected by only one of these polysaccharides. Electronic monitoring of aphid probing showed that aphids salivated in and ‘test’ probed the overlays prior to inserting their stylets into and ingesting from the underlying diets. Recorded responses of aphids probing overlays containing inhibitory polysaccharides resembled the recorded behavioral responses of aphids on resistant or nonhost plants (i.e., numerous short probes with either a lack of or a prolonged period prior to ingestion). The differential behavioral responses of the aphids to the various polysaccharides supports the view that plant matrix polysaccharides play a role in the chemical basis of aphid — plant interactions.

    Notes: Abstract A series of 3-acyl-4-hydroxycoumarins, structurally related to dicoumarol, as well as several alfalfa constituents including coumestrol were tested for their feeding deterrency towards the pea aphid. Feeding deterrency of the 3-acyl-4-hydroxycoumarins decreased as the size of the 3-acyl group increased.

    Notes: Abstract The indolizidine alkaloid, castanospermine (1,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-octahydroindolizidine—a stereochemical mimic of glucose found in the Australian legumeCastanospermum australe), differentially inhibited cellobiose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, and trehalose hydrolyzing enzymes from a broad taxonomic spectrum of insects (19 species from 12 different families). It was a potent inhibitor of cellobiase activity of all insects tested (50% inhibition at 〈3.2 × 10−5 M castanospermine). With one exception, it also inhibited lactase activity of all insects examined. Only in the sap-feeding Homoptera did castanospermine inhibit all disaccharidase activities assayed. Trehalase activity of the Lepidoptera and Diptera was generally inhibited by castanospermine, whereas inhibition of trehalase activity of the Coleoptera by castanospermine was exiguous or not detectable. Castanospermine was a significant feeding deterrent towards pea aphids,Acyrthosiphon pisum, with an ED50 of 1 × 10−4 M in artificial diets. Two compounds stereochemically related to castanospermine, deoxynojirimycin and 6-epicastanospermine, were each slightly active at deterring the feeding of green peach aphids,Myzus persicae, (ED50=2.5 × 10−3 M) and greenbugs,Schizaphis graminum (ED50=5 × 10−3 M), respectively. Among the insects studied there was no distinct relationship between enzyme inhibition and adaptation to host plants containing castanospermine or other toxic alkaloids.

    Notes: Abstract The vegetation of the mountains of the Fynbos Biome is classified and described, mostly on the basis of vegetation structure and higher taxa. Various gradients can be recognized. A gradient in soil conditions runs from coarse textured, nutrient-poor soils in non-grassy fynbos (Mountain Fynbos) through grassy fynbos and grassy non-fynbos (Eastern Fynbos and Grasslands & Grassy Shrubland) to finer textured and less nutrient-poor soils in the non-fynbos Karroid & Renoster Shrubland. Another gradient of significance can be likened to the tropical gradient running from the dry conditions of hot semi-deserts to savannas or grasslands to woodlands. At the dry extreme an open shrubland occurs (Karroid & Renoster Shrubland, Asteraceous Fynbos), at intermediate positions a herbland occurs (Restioid Fynbos) and at the wet extreme another type of shrubland occurs (Ericaceous Fynbos). This kind of moisture gradient occurs on individual mountains with the xeric end being at the base of the north slopes, and the mesic end being on the upper south aspects. Soil characteristics are closely linked to this gradient; the better developed soils being found on the south aspects. Another moisture gradient is apparent in the vegetation. This gradient runs from the mesic southern coastal mountains to the north west where summer droughts are extremely severe although total rainfall may be similar.

    Notes: Pectic substances extracted from different varieties of sorghum are hydrolyzed at differing rates by unfractionated polysaccharases isolated from two biotypes (C, GBC; and E, GBE) of the sorghum pest, Schizaphis graminum (the greenbug). A higher degree of susceptibility of a sorghum variety is associated with a greater rate of hydrolysis of sorghum pectic substances by a greenbug biotype. Increases in the specific activity of polysaccharases on the pectic substances from a resistant sorghum variety are dependent on the duration that a biotype is maintained as a colony on that variety. Polysaccharase activity of GBE on arabinogalactan was significantly greater than GBC. However, there were no differences between the biotypes on the depolymerization of a variety of other plant matrix polysaccharides and a synthetic polysaccharide. The sequence of substrates of increasing refractoriness to hydrolysis are: arabinogalactan 〈 microcrystalline cellulose 〈 xylan 〈 pectin 〈 2,3-diacetyl pectin 〈 α-1,4-galacturonan. Pectic substances from sorghum varieties resistant to GBC but susceptible to GBE are relatively lower in arabinogalactan with elevated levels of uronic acid (UA) compared to varieties susceptible to both biotypes. A sorghum variety resistant to both GBC and GBE was lowest in levels of arabinogalactan, highest in UA, and highest in fructan content, which in the other varieties occurred only in trace amounts. Pectic composition of rhamnose, xylose, and glucose showed no relationship to resistance. Bound phenolics (potential inhibitors of enzyme activity) were not detected in any of the sorghum pectic substances. The relationship of plant matrix polysaccharides to host-plant aphid biotype compatibility is discussed.
