It is important to understand the reason for its successful invasion and outbreak. Accordingly, this study was tailored to assess molecular variation and genetic relationships among three H. cunea populations in Beijing and one population from Sanhe in Hebei Province as control （totally 100 individuals）. A silver-labeled amplified fragment length polymorphisms （AFLP） DNA profiling method was used to detect the genetic diversity and relationship among the populations. Five EcoRI and MseI primer combinations produced a total of 171 （91.2% polymorphic） informative fragments. The average Nei＇s genetic diversity in four H. cunea populations analyzed by Popgene3.2 software was 0.2287, and the level of genetic diversity ranked in the order BDR （reared population in Daxing, Beijing） 〉 BDN （natural population in Daxing, Beijing） 〉 HSN （natural population in Sanhe, Hebei Province） 〉 BFN （natural population in Fengtai, Beijing）. The value of genetic differentia- tion among populations was 0.3321, and the gene flow was 1.0057. The genetic distance between these populations ranged from 0.0735 to 0.3309, 0.0531 on average. The result of UPGMA （unweighed pair group method with arithmetic averages） clustering showed that populations BFN and HSN were closely related, while BFN and BDN had the largest genetic distance. These results indicate that H. cunea populations in Beijing might originate from several areas.展开更多

Ten microsatellite primers, producing polymorphic bands, were used across 300 samples. The percentage of polymorphic loci （PPB） was 98.36%; the percentage of polymorphic loci in five populations ranged from high to low in the following order： Cangzhou population, Yantai population, Qinhuangdao population, Dandong population, and Shijiazhuang population. The results showed that 34.38% of the total genetic variation of the fall webworm （GsT） occurs among populations, while most variation （65.62%） exists within populations. Nei＇s genetic distances ranged from 0.1386 to 0.3224. Using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean （UPGMA）, Nei＇s genetic distances were analyzed by a clustering technique and the dendrogram shows that population differentiation is closely related to the time and geographic origin of the invasion. The major factors impacting genetic diversity of fall webworm populations are longitude, the plain area ratio, annual precipitation, latitude and time of invasion. The formation of genetic structure is correlated with characteristics of the life history and invasion ecology of the species.展开更多

The average death rate caused by those extracts on the secondinstar larvae was 85.70%. The mortality rate caused by the extracts drawn with methanol was from 88.89% to 96.33%,which was significal1tly l1igl1er tl1a11 tl1at caused by acetol1e extracts. 'I11osc extracts were satt to TrchogranInIa `Ie)uI,xiIinIi,Coccinella septempunctata, the natural enelnies of H. cunea. We did not found any evidence shown that those extracts hadany influence the emergence and the devclopment of T. dendrolimi. Those methanolic extracts gotten from A. multiflora andA. multiflora var. brevispicata had no significant effects on the mortality of the larvae and adults of C. septenrpunctala.Those eXtracts could be used in the control of H cunea sattly.展开更多
