Vll CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Integrated pest management can be defined as a strategy that focuses on long-term prevention or suppression of pest problems through a combination of techniques such as monitoring for pest presence, establishing treatment thresholds, using non-chemical practices, improving sanitation, and employing mechanical, physical, chemical and cultural controls strategies. According to Pedigo (2002), integrated pest management deals with a wide variety of pests including , plant-parasitic nematodes, microbial and viral plant pathogens, weeds, and vertebrates. The primary objective of the approach is to reduce losses from pests in ways that are effective, economically sound, and ecologically compatible. Pest management usually is equated with plant protection, focusing on value rather than the pest. It can be characterized as the way several techniques are employed simultaneously to solve specific pest problems. Therefore, a single pest management program may involve the use of pesticides, host-plant resistance, biological control, and damage assessment as a way to better understand and control pest complexes in different agro-systems.

The first topic of this thesis (Chapter II) focuses on damage assessment of an emerging pest complex on Texas High Plains cotton and concerns two different species from the same genera, the western tamished plant bug {Lygus hesperus Knight) and the pale legume bug {Lygus elisus Van Duzee). North American cotton fields are most likely to be infested by these from May until September when host plants other than cotton become less attractive or unavailable. Economic losses to cotton caused by plant

bug feeding can occur from the time cotton emerges until early bloom. A recent increase

in Lygus problems on the Texas High Plains is possibly a result of several mild winters,

that have increase the over-wintering of adults and reproductive densities for the

following spring. Precipitation in early spring will generate acceptable weed hosts, but

Lygus will move to cotton and other crops when precipitation ceases. The acreage of

other crop species such as alfalfa, potato, and canola has increased on the Texas High

Plains, which might help generate higher Lygus numbers to threaten cotton. All of these

factors combined together are the best possible explanation for an increase in densities of

L. hesperus and L. elisus and increased damage over the last four years. Lygus reduced

cotton production by an estimated 115,781 bales in 1999, 4,570 in 2000 and 13,913 in

2001 on the Texas High Plains (Williams, 1999, 2000, 2001). Recent research on Lygus

species and distributions on the Texas High Plains (Armstrong and Camelo, in press) has documented that in 1999-2001, L. elisus is significantly more prevalent than L. lineolaris, and in some cases, more predominant than L. hesperus. Management decisions for Lygus control on the Texas High Plains are based on L. hesperus densities. A comparative assessment of the damage is needed to determine if thresholds should be adjusted for both species.

The second topic (Chapter III) is the development of laboratory techniques that will improve host-plant resistance development for peanuts against southern com rootworm (SCRW, Diabrotica undecimpunctata hoM'ardi Barber) and possibly other pests, that can cause significant damage by feeding on roots and pods of major crops, causing significant economic losses to corn, sweet potato, and peanuts. Peanuts have become a significant crop and a major economic commodity grown in the state of

Texas. Texas currently ranks second to Georgia in peanuts, producing 320,000 to 370,000 acres annually. In 1999, 457,407 tons of peanuts were harvested (Lemon, 2001) generating 560 million dollars for farmers and 1.8 billion dollars of general revenue.

Over 70% of all the peanuts grown in Texas come from the Western Texas growing region. Research developed by Koiwa et al. (2000) has proved that a soybean cysteine proteinase inhibitor N (soyacystatin N, scN) cultured in laboratory was highly active against western corn rootworm {Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), substantially inhibiting growth and development of the larvae by attenuating digestive proteolysis. This inhibitor was named scN and is a derivative of soyacystatin N. Similar biology of Western com rootworm and SCRW and research by Edmonds et al. (1996) and Orr et al. (1994) implied that the southern corn rootworm would also be affected by scN ingestion. The

Effects of scN on SCRW were assessed and reported in chapter III. Screening for CPI

(scN) in different peanut lines is in progress as a separated phase of this research and is being conducted at the Norman Bourlag Center for Southern Crop improvement, Texas

A&M University, College Station, TX. In case of significant inhibition of larval development and growth of SCRW by scN in laboratory bioassays, peanut lines containing CPI (scN) will be used in a traditional breeding programs. E-64 (trans- epoxysuccinyl-leucyl-agmatine) is as powerful and specific as cysteine proteinase inhibitor on coleopterans (Kitch and Murdock, 1986). E-64 will be used as a calibrator factor to the methodology on scN studies. CHAPTER II

COMPARISON OF Lygus hesperus AND Lygus elisus DAMAGE

TO COTTON ANTHERS

Abstract

The pest status of Lygus in the Texas High Plains is becoming more important.

The increase in Bt cotton acreage, boll weevil eradication, and new insecticide technologies are some of the factors that may contribute to increased densities. Lygus species infesting cotton on the Texas High Plains was previously believed to be Lygus hesperus. but recent distribution surveys proved different (Armstrong and Camelo, in press), that Lygus elisus is also present in and often confused with Lygus hesperus. Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to assess injury to cotton anthers and compare L. elisus damage potential to L. hesperus. Both species were compared in the field by artificially infesting 6, 9 and 11"' node, first position cotton squares for 24 hours.

Each infested square was followed to yield to determine if it abscised or resulted in lint cotton. Laboratory experiments were developed to compare feeding to cotton anthers.

Results from field and laboratory studies demonstrated that L. elisus can cause similar or greater damage when compared to L. hesperus and visual damage from the digestive enzymes of both species were identical. Cotton will compensate for Lygus feeding injury, partially masking yield losses, and square abscission. Lygus elisus caused similar yield losses and square shading when compared to L. hesperus and proved to have a similar damage potential. Introduction

Western Tarnished Plant Bug {Lygus hesperus Knight) is a major pest of cotton, especially in the mid-south and southeast cotton production regions (Layton, 2000).

Lygus hesperus and the pale legume bug {Lygus elisus Van Duzee) are shown as western

species that are not found east of Texas, while the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris

(Palisot de Beauvois), is considered an eastern United States pest, threatening cotton production from the mid-south to southeast regions of the United States (Schwartz and

Foottit, 1998). North American cotton fields are most likely to be infested by these

insects from May until September when host plants other than cotton become less

attractive or unavailable (Stern, 1975). According to Black (1973 )and Tugwell (1976),

economic losses to cotton caused by plant bug feeding can occur from the time cotton

emerges until early bloom. Infestation levels of Lygus spp. will mostly be regulated by

over-wintering conditions, host plant availability, and weather.

The Pale Legume Bug, L. elisus, is not as common in cotton as L. hesperus and L.

lineolaris even though the two species overlap in distribution within the United States

(Schwartz and Footit, 1998). Inl927, McGregor documented L. elisus infesting cotton in

Arizona and California and described the shedding of squares, blooms, and young bolls.

He also recognized that the enzymatic activity of feeding from L. elisus was the end

result of the damage. McGregor (1927) provided the only literature that documented L.

elisus as a pest of cotton for the Western United States, until an extension publication from the University of California (Anonymous, 1996) specified that there are four species of Lygus that occur in the western United States, all of which are similar in appearance and habits, and identifying them to species when monitoring cotton would not be

necessary. Lygus hesperus would be the most common specie throughout the region,

being the only specie that causes economic damage to cotton. Lygus elisus would appear

sporadically, infesting cotton for only a few days. Less common species for the western

cotton growing regions would be L. lineolaris and L. desertinus. Diehl et al. (1998)

suggested that Lygus bugs infesting cotton in Arizona were a complex of Z. hesperus, L.

lineolaris and L. elisus, and that management decisions would not require identification

to species.

Other cotton growing states of the southeast such as Georgia, Alabama,

Tennessee, and Mississippi have documented that Lygus spp. are causing significantly

more damage than has been previously recorded (Layton, 2000). Boll weevil eradication

and the increase in Bt cotton acreage in the southeast and mid-south regions have reduced

the number of foliar insecticide applications that may have reduced Lygus populations.

Insecticides developed for specific lepidopteran pests that do not kill Lygus, and the

development of resistance to organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides have

contributed to plant bugs becoming more of a key pest to cotton in the southeast (Layton,

2000). Cotton growing states of the western part of the United States have also documented an increase on Lygus densities. In recent years, Lygus control efforts in

Arizona have become more frequent and costs have increased due to more insecticide applications according to Ellsworth (2000). Factors such as the use of more specific insecticides, an increase in Bt cotton acreage, and more available alternate host plants in the State of Arizona helped plant bug problems increase. Arizona lost 2.9 million dollars of cotton in 1990, jumping to 7.6 million in 1999 from Lygus damage. Yield reductions

went from 0.95% to 3,32% in the same years. Bailey (1986) observed a significant yield

reduction on eight cotton cultivars after artificially infesting terminals with nymphs of Z.

lineolaris. According to the author, 25% reduction of the total yield across cotton

vaiieties was observed.

An increase in Lygus problems on the Texas High Plains is possibly a result of

several mild winters, which increases over-wintering of adults and reproductive densities

for the following spring. Precipitation in early spring will generate weed hosts, but Lygus

will move to cotton and other crops when precipitation ceases, or drought conditions

persist. The acreage of other crops species such as alfalfa, potato, and canola has

increased on the Texas High Plains, which might help generate higher numbers to

threaten cotton. All of these factors combined together have been responsible for an

increase in densities of Z. hesperus and L. elisus and increased damage over the last four

years. Lygus reduced cotton production by an estimated 115,781 bales in 1999, 4,570 in

2000, and 13,913 in 2001 on the Texas High Plains (Williams, 1999, 2000, 2001). Recent

research on Lygus species and distributions on the Texas High Plains (Armstrong and

Camelo, 2002) has documented that in 1999-2001, Z. elisus is significantiy more

prevalent than Z. lineolaris, and in some cases, more predominant than Z. hesperus.

Management decisions for Lygus control on the Texas High Plains are based on Z. hesperus densities per row foot in relation to square set (Muegge et al., 2002). The threshold does not consider combinations of other Lygus species, and assumes that they all cause the same amount of damage. According to Armstrong and Camelo (in press). the Texas High Plains is the only cotton production region in the United States where Z. hesperus and Z. elisus can be similar in densities. A comparative assessment of the damage needs to be conducted to determine if thresholds should be adjusted for both species.

Literature Review

Several authors have described western tarnished plant bug and tarnished plant bug damage to cotton anthers and its relation with injury to squares, blooms and young bolls, however pale legume bug, Lygus elisus, damage has not been thoroughly studied and its injury to cotton anthers and fruiting organs compared to other species of Lygus in unknown. Gutierrez et al. (1977) caged Z, hesperus on cotton terminals and observed the damage caused by adults (male and female) and nymphs. He concluded that western tarnished plant bug had a significant impact on square shed, but was not able to quantify a reduction in yield. Leigh (1988) correlated the numbers of Z, hesperus found in 50 net sweeps of cotton with damaged and abscised squares, and made two contributions two the understanding of Z. hesperus damage to cotton in California. His first observation was that dissecting small cotton squares was a very effective way of determining injury was caused by Z. hesperus feeding. The feeding injury was distinct and could be differentiated from other insect feeding injury. The second contribution was that Z. hesperus densities from 50 sweeps samples were correlated with square abscission and cotton yield, and concluded that Z. hesperus caused a significant increase in square abscission, although cotton has a natural compensation factor that masked the effects of Lygus damage to cotton squares. Russel (1999) observed the impact of tarnished plant bug (Z. lineolaris) feeding on cotton boll abscission and yield by caging the insects on one-day-old bolls for 72 hours. Russel concluded that plant bugs caused significant yield losses through abscised or injured cotton bolls. Jubb and Carruth (1971) infested individual cotton plants with one Z. hesperus during the first six weeks of flowering and observed the impacts of feeding to cotton growth and yield. Although nymph and adult infestations altered cotton plant development, the data indicated that artificially infesting did not caused significant reductions on yield. Conversely, Mauney and Henneberry

(1984) claimed the major cause of square abscission in Arizona before July 15 is from

Lygus hesperus feeding.

Literature that explains when cotton is most susceptible to plant bug injury is based on tarnished plant bug research. Littie research is available on this subject for other species, and the study of Lygus elisus damage to cotton is only found in McGregor

(1927). According to Scales and Furr (1968), cotton that has not flowered through early squaring is the most susceptible to yield loss from tarnished plant bug injury, and the developmental stage where most research has been conducted. Cotton is in these early developmental stages in May or June, when plant bugs are migrating from native hosts and searching for other suitable hosts. Tarnished plant bugs can feed on cotton plants during the entire season, however economic damage will occur from first-square to first bloom (Layton, 1995; Craig and Luttrell, 1997). Studies examining the effects of plant bug infestation on flowering and later developmental stages are fewer in number. The affects of plant bug injury on flowers and bolls have been considered relatively unimportant (Tugwell et al., 1976). Plant bugs have always been considered an early season pest, and little damage was thought to occur on young to mature bolls, especially when that plant bug densities are low during the late season or after the majority of bolls, that will produce lint, are one day in age (Russel, 1999).

Tarnished plant bug feeding results in a characteristic necrosis of the anthers and atrophy of the pollen sacs, leading to the abscission of the square if sufficient injury occur

(Pack and Tugwell, 1976). Lygus feeding on bolls appears as a dull, dark necrotic area about 1 to 2 mm in width with a glossy spot in the center of the larger spot (Pack and

Tugwell, 1976). Tugwell et al. (1976) observed from one to 10% yield reduction by plant bugs feeding on bolls. However, the age of the bolls, or stage of plant development were not considered factors in that study. Pack and Tugwell (1976) reported that tarnished plant bugs caged on two-day-old bolls significantly reduced seed cotton yield and seed quality, and increased boll abscission due to plant bug injury. Williams and Tugwell

(1999) described histological damage of tamished plant bug feeding on small cotton floral buds. Staminal columns, developing anthers and corollas appeared to be most damaged from insect feeding. All of these tissues demonstrated different degrees of cellular degradation and gross enlargement caused by enzymatic action. Fragmented cell walls were thinner and stained lighter than cotton floral buds without damage. The authors observed that desiccation of abscised squares from tarnished plant bug feeding was irregular.

Plant bug feeding effects on crop yield and damage thresholds can be significantiy different depending upon location and sampling methods used from research studies

10 (Snodgrass, 1993; Guitierrez, 1995). Lygus thresholds for management decisions will vary depending upon cotton growing regions and production practices. Variation will occur due to difference in the length of growing seasons, rainfall patterns, planting times, and plant densities. Such variations should be taken into consideration (Wheeler, 2001).

The most generalized Lygus threshold of 10 bugs per 50 cotton sweeps (1 nymph = 2 adults) was established in early 1950 and has been previously reviewed and still accepted

(Stern ,1973) .Low densities or sub-economic densities of plant bugs infestations on cotton may result in increased yield due to the natural compensation that occurs when cotton tries to overcome damage. Teague et al. (2000) compared cotton response to square loss from tarnished plant bug feeding and manual removal. By artificially infesting cotton with tarnished plant bug nymphs and manually crushing squares, Teague observed direct evidence of compensatory response of cotton to tarnished plant bug.

Significant crop delay was observed when square retention was reduced by tarnished plant bug as measured by physiological cutout. The compensatory response of cotton must be understood in order to determine the true. According to Gutierrez et al. (1977),

Lygus hesperus is a serious pest only when present at extremely high densities or when cotton plants are under some kind of physiological stress. Mauney and Henneberry

(1984) emphasized the difficulty of assessing the various factors that are responsible for square damage and abscission, making published thresholds of plant bugs on cotton controversial. The relationship of Lygus densities with damage and yield is a complex issue that has been difficult for researchers to draw conclusions based on sound science.

11 Wheeler (2001) observed that thresholds in the mid-south and southeast are too

conservative and tend to overestimate Lygus bug importance as a cotton pest.

Rearing Lygus spp. in laboratory. According to Whitbey (1999), there are two

common methods for rearing and maintaining plant bugs in the laboratory. The first

method follows Beards and Leigh (1960) who reared Z. hesperus on green beans,

Phaseolus vulgaris L., which provided a food source and an oviposition site. Patana and

Debolt (1985) described a method that uses artificial diet packs where the food source is

enclosed in parafilm". These two methods of rearing Lygus with diet packs and on green

beans have a common problems in that insects oviposit on the same food source, that

becomes dry or infected with microbial growth which tends to reduce egg production and

recovery of adults. The green bean rearing method presents other problems, one of which

is determined by the source of green beans. Unless appropriate greenhouse space is

available, where pesticides use can be reduced, green beans must be purchased at the

market. Commercially produced green beans may come from locations where pesticides

use is not regulated or where Lygus parasites may be harbored. Although the beans are

washed, any pesticide residue can decimate a colony. Eggs of parasite species that remain

on the green beans and hatch can reduce Lygus densities as well. Fungal spores are not

uncommon on green beans once they have infiltrated a growth chamber they are difficult to eradicate.

Deboh (1982) created an artificial diet for rearing Lygus. Most of his effort aimed at developing artificial diets resulted in different degrees of success. The meridic diet by

Debolt maintained several generations of Z. hesperus, and was later improved by Cohen

12 (2000). Cohen's diet consisted of adding a semisolid slurry that accommodates solid and liquid feeding habits of Lygus. The basic ingredients, as described by Cohen are an entomophage component of cooked, whole chicken eggs, chicken egg yolks, sugar, and yeast combined with plant components of soy bean flour, wheat germ, lima bean meal and soy lecithin. Cohen's diet proved to maintain Lygus colonies longer than Debott's

(1982). There are problems with using artificial diet packs. The Lygus not only feed on the packs, they oviposit in them. If the diet packs dries out, high mortality to adults and eggs will occur. If the diet is not prepared in an aseptic environment, microbial growth will ruin it and begins to ferment, Lygus egg yield will be significantly reduced.

Extracting and sterilizing eggs from the diet pack is difficult and time consuming. The most efficient way to rear Lygus spp. is to use separate packs for the diet and oviposition.

However, this creates the problem of getting females to oviposit in the egg packs and not the diet packs. The diet pack method of rearing Lygus proposed by Cohen (2000), using separated gel packets for oviposition, is the most efficient way of maintaining Lygus spp in laboratory.

Objectives

Observations of plant bug densities, and distributions on the Texas High Plains

(Armstrong and Camelo, in press) demonstrated that Z. elisus is as relevant as Z. hesperus in terms of being a cotton pest. However, very little is known about Z. elisus biology on cotton or its damage potential. The research proposed here is to determine the

13 damage potential of Z. elisus and compare it with a known cotton pest, Z. hesperus. In both field and laboratory studies

Materials and Methodologv

Field experiments were conducted at the Texas Tech research farm located on the

northwest part of the Texas Tech University Campus, Lubbock, TX. Paymaster®

2326RR was used as a standard variety in 2000 and 2001. Laboratory experiments were

conducted on campus at the entomology laboratory. Agricultural Science building.

Rearing Lygus.

Lygus elisus and Lygus hesperus used in these experiments were reared in

laboratory from adults collected from the field. Most of these insects came from alfalfa

{Medicago sativa L.) and wild mustard {Sinapis arvensis Z.) from different South-Plains

sites. Insects were held in Im xlm Lumite® cages and fed artificial diet as described by

Cohen (2000). Insects were maintained in the laboratory so mortality from physical injury and disease could be reduced.

Artificial infestation procedures for field experiments.

Cotton plants were monitored regularly until squares of the 6' , 9' and 11' node, first position were one-third grown and ready for infesting. Artificial infesting procedures for one-third grown squares followed that used by Russel (1999) for caging Z. lineolaris on cotton bolls. Lygus were placed into 20 ml diet cups and transported to the field in a chilled ice cooler to eliminate heat stress. For each species (Z. elisus and Z. hesperus), one Lygus were enclosed in a 15 cm. x 11.5 cm. nylon mesh #280 bag, which also

14 enclosed a one-third grown square. Each bag had a drawstring that prevented Lygus from escaping closed the bags. The dates of infestation were recorded on a snap-on-tag® placed on the pedicel of each individual square. The experiments was designed as a randomized block and each treatment was replicated four (4) times. A control treatment, consisting of bags that enclosed a square but no Lygus. Ten squares from different plant were used in each block. Squares selected for artificial infesting were of a similar fruhing position and developmental stage of adjacent plants.

Lygus elisus and Lygus hesperus artificial infesting.

Infestation levels consisted of zero and one plant bug adults on each square. Lygus bugs were placed on squares and allowed to feed for 24 hours. The number of abscised squares was recorded at 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days after infestation (DAI) and at the time of harvest. All harvestable bolls were individually collected and seed cotton weights were recorded. The data was analyzed with PROC ANOVA and means separated with

Fisher's Protected LSD (SAS Institute, 1989). Treatment affects were measured by correlating Lygus species with squares loss and cotton lint and seed yield. Damage potential can be estimated from this relationship.

Laboratory assessment.

In conjunction with field experiments, laboratory trials were developed to compare Z. hesperus and Z. elisus damage to one-third grown squares. Squares of identical age and position from the field study were artificially infested for 24hr then dissected to estimate the amount of injury. Damage assessment of Lygus elisus compared to Lygus hesperus feeding on cotton squares in laboratory were done following Maredia's

15 et al. (1994) technique of identifying resistant lines of cotton to plant bugs. According to the author, assessing anther damage is simple, rapid, and an effective means that entomologists and plant breeders can use to evaluate resistance and/or susceptibility of cotton to Lygus spp. It consists of slicing a square into two pieces at the point of

maximum diameter with a razor blade, and gently pressing the top end of the square

using the thumb and the forefinger, with a rolling action, the anthers will be removed

from the calyx and corolla and be exposed for observation of damage. In our studies,

Maredia's et al. (1994) technique was used to compare the feeding injury to one-third

grown cotton squares from the two different Lygus species (Z. hesperus and Z. elisus)

damage to anthers using one cotton genotype, from squares collected within the same

stage of development.

Feeding assessment was possible by setting cotton squares on Oasis® (Oasis

Craft Products, Kent, OH) to maintain the squares, and by placing one Lygus of either

species to feed on it. Individual squares were isolated and Lygus caged by placing 20 ml

diet cups (Bio-serve® supplies, Chicago, IL) over the top of a Lygus and a plastic film on

the surface to avoid contact of the insect with the Oasis. The experiments consisted of

three treatments (Z. elius, L. hesperus and a control) replicated ten times in a randomized

block design. Every time a field cage experiment was conducted, a laboratory experiment

was conducted on the same age and position (6'^ 9"" and 11* node, first fruit position)

square. Lygus were allowed to feed for 24 hours. Damage to each square was estimated

by removing the calyx and corolla to expose the anthers and revealing the surface area

that had anther tissue damage. The estimates were easily discernible because the tissue

16 affected by the Lygus feeding enzymes turns dark brown or is dissolved and no longer

present. The anthers were rated from 0 (no damage) trough 100 (maximum damage). The

damage estimations were analyzed with PROC ANOVA, and means separated with

Fisher's Protected LSD (SAS Institute, 1989).

Results

Field Experiments

Square abscission at the 6"^ node was significantiy greater on Lygus-infested

plants (F= 11.25, df=l 1, P=0.0053) in 2001 (Table 2.1 and Figure 2.1). In 2002,

abscission was significantly lower in the control when compared to Z. elisus-infested

plants, but abscission by Z. hesperus was intermediate (Table 2.2) (F=2.63, df= 11,

P=0.1358). Squares retained on the plant for 28 days after artificially infested (DAI) were

most likely to become harvestable bolls that resulted in seed-cotton yield (Figures 2.1 and

2.2).

Mean seed-cotton weights in 2001 and 2002 (Table 2.1) were not significantly

different (F=0.93, df=l 1, P=0.5237; F=0.29, df=l 1, P=0.9043, respectively). Bolls that remained on the 6'^ node accounted for a larger weight in Lygus-infcsted plants as a compensation for Lygus feeding. For early insect infestations that attack the first position,

6"^ node square, cotton has enough heat-units available to compensate to square losses.

Significant differences were observed in 2001 for the 9' node square abscission rates with greater abscission on both Lygus-infested treatments when compared to the control treatment (F=3.40, df=l 1, P=0.0842) (Table 2.2). Results for 2002 did not

17 showed the same trend, and no significant difference was recorded for any treatments

(F==2.57, dt=l 1, P=0.1408). Water stress from a lack of irrigation may have caused physiological stress that increased abscission, which masked the affects of insect damage from Zi;i,^/w-infested treatments (Figures 2.3. and 2.4.).

Yield at the 9 ^ node on Lygus elisus and Lygus hesperus-infested treatments in

2001 were statistically equal to each other but significantly lower than the control treatment (F=12.83, df=l 1, P=0.0037) (Table 2.2). However, due to high abscission from the control, results were not the same in 2002, and no differences were found in yield across treatments (F=0.31, df=l 1, P=0.8893) (Table 2.2).

Eleventh node natural abscission rate masked Zj'gw^-infested treatment affects. No significant difference was observed (Table 2.3) in 2001 and 2002 (F=3.00, df=l 1,

P=0.1256; F=0.32, df=ll, P=0.8844, respectively) with the control group averaging

83.75% abscission rate in both years. In 2002, abscission was gradually achieved, however final abscissions were similar when compared to 2001 (Figures 2.5 and 2.6).

Results of abscission rates at the 11"' node were reflected on yield observations and no significant difference was recorded among treatments for 2001 and 2002 (F=4.31, df=ll, P=0.8844; F=0.56, df=ll, P=0.7307; respectively) (Table 2.3).

Laboratory Trials

Injury estimates for 2001 were significantiy higher for both Zji/^u^-infested treatments when compared to the control group (Table 2.1) (F=14.35, df=29, P=<.0001).

Some injury (2.5%) was present in the control group in 2001 due to insect feeding in the

18 field previous to square removal from the field. For 2002, significant difference was observed in the control group compared to Z. e/ww^-infested squares; however, Z. hesperus-infested treatments were not significantly different from the conttol (Table 2.1)

(F=8.53, df= 29. P= 0.0013). The variance was high resulting in no significant damage from Z. hesperus.

The 2001 and 2002, 9' node, laboratory studies provided similar results in which both Z_ygw5-infested treatments were not significantly different from one another and

significantly greater than the control group (F=6.13, df=29, P=0.0064; F=8.27, df=29,

P=0.0016, respectively) (Table 2.2). Damage of the control group in 2002 (0.5%)

originated from insect feeding in the field previous to the square removal (Table 2.2).

Damage estimates done from laboratory studies on the 11"^ node squares, showed

Z. elisus damage significantly greater than both the control and the Z. hesperus treatments

(F=9.61, df=29, P=0.0007) (Table 2.3). For 2002, each treatment was significantiy different from the other with Z. e/Z^w^-infested treatment damage being greater than Z. hesperus, and Z. hesperus damage greater than the control group (F=18.18, df=29,

P=<.0001) (Table 2.3). High variance of the means within each treatment resulted in no significant differences for Z. hesperus and the control group in 2001 (Table 2.3).

Discussions

A certain percentage of cotton is expected to abscise from the plant before maturity due to physiological behavior and insect injury. According to Room and Heam

(1979) and Sadras (1995), the shed of small bolls and squares during cotton growth is a

19 natural feedback mechanism that alters the plant strain and is a complex nutritional and hormonal influence that is poorly understood (Teague et al., 2000). This mechanism can mask abscission caused by Lygus feeding. Field results for the 6"' node control group for

2001 averaged 12.5% abscised squares that did not result in seed-cotton. The two Lygus- infested treatments resuhed in significant higher abscission compared to the control. This finding was under more normal growing conditions where the cotton did not suffer severe drought stress as happened in 2002. Square abscission for 6"^ nodes in 2002 was affected by drought stress from a deficiency in irrigation. The irrigation well was not operating for

4-5 weeks, resulting in a higher than normal abscission from the control group, which resulted in no significant difference between the control group and the Z. hesperus-

infested squares. The Z. hesperus abscission treatment was not significantly different

from the Z. elisus treatment. The water deficiency is the most likely cause for a non- distinct separation of the 6^*^ node abscission in 2002.

Although there are significant differences for the 6^*^ node abscission for 2001, it

did not resuh in significant seed-cotton weights (Table 2.1). The control (non-infested) treatment weights averaged 3g more than the Z. hesperus treatment, which was 0.6g

lighter than the Z. elisus treatment. The average seed-cotton weight from the control for the 6'^ node was 1.04 g compared to 1.07 g for Z, hesperus and 1.12 g for Z. elisus. These results indicate a compensatory factor that occurs when a higher percent of 6' node squares are injured from either species of Lygus.

Ninth node, first position square abscission for the control group in 2001 was significantly higher than for Z. hesperus and Z. elisus-infested squares (Table 2.2). The

20 0%'erall abscission for the 9"^ node essentially doubled when compared to the 6'" node

abscission for 2001 (Tables 2.1 and 2.2). However, final abscission for 2002 was not

significantly different for any treatment group (Table 2.2). This lack of significance in

2002 is a probable consequence of the drought stress that resulted in excessive square

shed. Seed-cotton weights were significantly higher for the conttol compared to either

Lygus species, which were not significantly different for each other in 2001 (Table 2.2).

No differences were observed for seed-cotton weights in 2002. The final abscission

percentage for 2002 was not significant and no compensation appeared as reflected by

seed-cotton weights (Table 2.2).

Abscission was greater than 82% for all treatments and not statistically different

for the 11' node for both years (Table 2.3). Although there is no literature on the

percentage of yield that the 11* node conttibutes to total yield, h would appear that a

high percentage of 11'^ node first position squares do not contribute to the total yield, and

compensation did not occur based on the results of this study.

Laboratory feeding trials for the 6* node in 2001 estimated significantly higher

damage from both Zj^gw^-infested treatments when compared to the control group. Lygus

elisus damage averaged 34.8%, an average of 8% higher than the Lygus hesperus group

(Table 2.1). The control group averaged 1.25% of damage for both years, this damage was registered due to feeding on the squares in the field before the square was removed and brought to the laboratory. Results for 2002 showed Z. elisus causing significantly more damage than Z. hesperus and the control group (Table 2.1). No significant difference was observed when comparing the control group and the Lygus hesperus-

21 infested treatments, however variance from is likely to be the cause for the lack of

significant difference rather than a lower feeding damage from Z. hesperus.

Damage ratings for the ninth node, first position was estimated to range, from 21 to 29% damage for both years of the study and for both species of Lygus (Table 2.2). This was significantly higher than the control group, which averaged 0.25% damage. The data for 2001 and 2002 suggest that the feeding injury to the 9"" node squares is very similar for both Z. hesperus and Z. elisus.

Damage estimates for the 11''' node laboratory studies demonstrated that Z. elisus injury was significantly higher than Z. hesperus and the control for both years (Table

2.3). Z. elisus averaged 31.5% for both years while Z. hesperus averaged 14%. The control treatment for both years had no damage (0%).

Conclusions

Field Experiments

Yield results were not significantly difference across treatments in 5 out of 6 trials. However, comparison between damage potential of both Lygus species carmot be based specifically on yield outputs. According to Maredia (1994), ultimate production is influenced by many interacting factors that can mask plant bug damage and does not reflect susceptibility or resistance of the cotton plant to Lygus. Cotton has a natural ability to compensate for different stress environments and is able to maintain its potential yield.

Teague et al. (2000) explained that the compensatory response of cotton must be understood as an integrated approach and multiple factors should be considered. Teague

22 et al. (2000) compared cotton response to square loss from tarnished plant bug feeding

and manual removal and observed direct evidence of compensatory response of cotton to

or following insect injury. Significant crop delay was observed when square retention

was reduced by tarnished plant bug. Other studies have demonstrated that an increase in

yield is possible. In 1973, Stern observed that low densities or sub-economic densities of

plant bugs infestations on cotton could result in increased yield due to the natural

compensation that occurs when cotton tties to overcome damage. For the 2001 6"" node

studies, seed-cotton weights for both Lygus-infested treatments averaged 1.10 grams

while the control group averaged 1.04 grams. While fewer bolls were harvested for the

Zvg-w5--infested treatments, greater weight of individual bolls resulted in no significant

difference across treatments in yield as if cotton had compensated to Lygus-infested

treatments. For the 9* and 11'^ node studies in 2001 and 2002, yield results reflected

abscission significant differences across treatments.

In 5 out of 6 abscission trials (3 trials in 2001 and 3 in 2002), Lygus elisus and

Lygus hesperus had equal results when compared to one another and to the control group.

This shows a trend of both species causing similar damage to artificially infested cotton

squares. Abscission results for the 6'*^ node in 2001 showed a significant difference from both Lygus infested treatments for the control group that was repeated on the 9^*^ node study for 2001. However, 11"^ node squares natural abscission on the control group averaged above 83% masking the affects of the Lygus-infested txedXments both Z. elisus and L. hesperus had no significant difference among each other for both years.

23 Cotton squares were most likely to abscise 28 days after infestations in all treatments and node positions. After this period, one-third grown cotton squares that remained on the plant became young bolls. For the 6"' node abscission experiments in

2001, all treatments reached the final abscission rate on or before 28 days after infestation

(DAI). For the 2002, 6" node abscission experiments, the control and Lygus elisus treatments reached the final abscission rate 28 days after infestations while the Lygus hesperus increased only 2.5% from 28 DAI to 35 DAI where final abscission rate was reached. Lygus hesperus treatment for the 9"" node in 2002 reached final abscission after

28 days after infestation while Lygus elisus only increased 2.5% after 28 DAI reaching final abscission 35 days after infestation. The 2001 11'^ node squares reached final abscission rate in all treatments after 14 DAI.

Laboratory Trials

Lygus elisus damage estimates to cotton squares in the laboratory proved to be greater or equal to damage estimates caused by Lygus hesperus. In 3 out of 6 laboratory trials for 6* trough 11'^ node, Z. elisus feeding was significantly higher than Z. hesperus, and Z. elisus averaged across trials 29.1% of damage, while Z. hesperus averaged 19.8%.

These estimations are subjective, and based on observer bias. Some variation could occur if the experiment was repeated, however the results demonstrated that Z. elisus has the capacity of damage cotton anthers equally or greater than Z. hesperus.

37 CHAPTER III

DIETARY EVALUATION OF CYSTEINE PROTEINASE INHIBITORS scN

AND E-64 AGAINST SOUTHERN CORN ROOTWORM

(Diabrotica umiecimpunclala howardi Barber; INFESTING PEANUT

Abstract

The southern corn rootworm (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber^) can

be a serious pest of Texas grown peanut. Recent research in plant biology has found a

broad class of plant-produced compounds collectively known as proteinase inhibitors.

Lepidopterans pests are susceptible to serine, while Coleopterans are more susceptible to

cysteine. This research is part of an effort for a more sustainable management system for

subterranean insect pests in peanuts. A laboratory protocol was developed in order to test

soyacystatin N (scN) and E-64 (synthetic inhibitor) against southern corn rootworm using

an artificial diet fed to young larvae. The main objective of this study is to develop the dietary assay for incorporating the soybean proteinase inhibitor (scN) and a synthetic

inhibitor (E64) into the diet of the southern corn rootworm and to determine the affects of the inhibitors on larvae development and mortality. If proved to be reliable, the technique could be used to assess other inhibitors and lectins against other insect pests of peanut.

Resufts from insect bioassays showed that soyacystatin N significantly increased mortality of SCRW larvae and affected larval development as measured by larval weight gain. The control group had a 1.15 mg weight gain per replicate that accounted to a 0.29 mg greater difference when compared to the higher scN dose (1.50mg/ml). The

38 soycystatin inhibitor proved to be a good candidate for a host plant resistance in peanuts against Diabrotica undecimpunclala howardi Barber larvae. E-64 also demonstrated significant mortality to Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber larvae when fed in artificial diet and to significant reduced surviving weight gains. The methodology can be used for screening cysteine inhibitors against different insect-pests for host-plant resistance.

Introduction

Diabrotica species from the order Coleoptera, are one of the most economically

important insect genera of insects in North America. It includes some of the most

destructive and aggressive pests that can cause damage to agricultural crops. Larvae of

Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber, commonly know as the southern corn

rootworm (SCRW), cause significant damage by feeding on roots and pods of major

crops. This insect can cause significant economic losses to corn {Zea mays), sweet potato

{Lpomoea batatas) and peanuts {Arachis hypogaea). The adult beetle also known as

spotted cucumber beetle, can present some problems to crops by feeding on the aerial

parts and by transmitting several economically important viruses (Edmonds et al. 1996).

Southem com rootworm is the primary insect pest attacking peanuts in the Eastern

growing regions of the United States such as Virginia and North Carolina (Herbert, 1996)

and is considered to be a secondary pest in Southern areas such as South Carolina,

Georgia, Alabama and Texas.

39 Peanuts have become a significant crop and a major economic commodity grown in the state of Texas. The state currently ranks second to Georgia, producing 320,000 to

370.000 acres annually. In 1999, 457,407 tons of peanuts were harvested (Lemon et al.,

2001) generating $ 560 million for farmers and $ 1.8 billion of general revenue.

"Runner," "Virginia," "Spanish," and "Valencia" are the four market-type varieties grown in the state. Over 70% of all the peanuts grown in the state of Texas come from the western Texas growing region. The crop has become a major alternative for low market prices of cotton and has increased significantly to the overall base economy for the state.

Soil and aerial insecticide applications, cultural control, and the introduction of more tolerant varieties are common ways of controlling SCRW in com (Mayo, 1980;

Brust, 1991), However, insect control tools for peanuts pests are more limited due to minor crop status. Insecticides labeled today for peanuts are of the organophosphate and carbamate groups, and have been targeted for review by the 1996 Food Quality

Protection Act. These insecticides have been found to exceed the risk cup, and will probably be unavailable for use in the future. One alternative for a more sustainable control option for the SCRW is the development of host plant resistance in peanut lines.

Insect resistance does exist in peanuts and has been identified for both lepidopteran and coleopteran pests. Southern com rootworm resistant peanuts has been discovered and incorporated into peanut breeding lines (Campbell et al., 1977; Petka et al., 1998) and one commercial line is available in the State of North Carolina. However, is used in the southeastem part of the U.S. and not suitable as a production variety for western Texas.

40 NC-6 demonstrated antibiosis against southern corn rootworm, however is not grown

acceptable to Texas. Smith et al. (1979) discovered peanut lines resistant to lesser

cornstalk borer in Texas, however very little research is available on host plant resistance

of peanuts against southern corn rootworm in Texas.

This effort of host-plant resistance in peanut would only be available through

conventional breeding techniques because genome transformation in peanuts is not

acceptable due to direct consumption by humans. Recent studies have indicated that the

expression of serine proteinase inhibitors can provide an improved level of resistance to

attack from lepidopteran pests (Boulter et al., 1990), whereas coleopteran pests including

Diabrotica species are susceptible to cysteine proteinase inhibitors as their major

digestive proteolytic enzymes (Murdock et al., 1987). The well-developed enhancement

of lepidopteran pest resistance conferred by the expression of serine protease inhibitors

would imply that the presence of cysteine protease inhibitor could be effective on

developing resistant lines against coleopteran pest insects.

Research developed by Koiwa et al. (2000) has proven that a soybean cysteine

proteinase inhibitor cultured in laboratory was highly active against western com

rootworm {Diabrotica virgifera virgifera), substantially inhibiting growth and

development of the larvae by attenuating digestive proteolysis. Such inhibitor was named

scN, and is derivative from soyacystatin N. Similar biology of WCR and SCRW and research by Edmonds et al. (1996) and Orr et al. (1994) implies that the southern corn rootworm would also be affected by scN ingestion. Screening for CPI (scN) in different peanut lines is in progress as a separated phase of this research and conducted at the

41 Norman Bourlag Center for Southern Crop improvement, Texas A&M University. In

case of significant inhibition of the larvae development and growth of SCRW by scN in

laboratory bioassays, peanut lines that have CPI (scN) will be used in a traditional

breeding program.

E-64 (trans-epoxysuccinyl-leucyl-agmatine), a tripeptide from TRP-64 strain of

Aspergillus japonicus is known to be a powerful and specific cysteine proteinase inhibitor

(Kitch and Murdock, 1986) and proved to be affective in different coleopteran pests

(Murdock et al 1988). E-64 will be used as a calibrator factor for the methodology on scN

studies.

Literature Review

Insect bioassays

Edmonds et al. (1996) tested cysteine proteinase inhibitor oryzacystatin against southem com rootworm by dissolving the proteins to be tested in 1 ml of sterile deionised water and incorporating into artificial diet that was prepared as recommended by Branson et al. (1975). The inoculated diet was divided into 2ml aliquots in small (7-10 ml) glass pots. Seven day-old larvae were cleaned and weighed before being employed in the bioassay system. Three larvae were placed in each pot, and the surface of the diet was scratched with a sterile needle to facilitate larval burrowing. Twenty-five or fifty larvae were used per treatment. Covered feeding pots were incubated in total darkness at 25°C.

After 9 days, the surviving larvae were counted and weighed. The data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney U-Test, for survival frequencies and unpaired Student's T-test.

42 Edmonds et al. (1996) observed that Oryzacystatin I, expressed as a fully functional fusion in E. Coli, was found to strongly inhibit larval gut protease activity. This recombinant oryzacystatin, incorporated into artificial diet at concentrations of lOmM and above, caused significant decreases in larval survival and weight gain. E-64 was also shown to cause a significant antimetabolic in vivo effect. Edmonds et al. (1996) results demonstrate the strong potential for cysteine proteinase inhibitors, such as oryzacystatin, as tools for exploitation in the control of the southern corn rootworm.

In 1994, Orr et al. tested mulcystain from Potato Tubers against southem com rootworm and western corn rootworm by dissolving and diluting the proteins in sterile water and applying (0.03 ml) to the surface of 0.25ml of artificial diet. Twenty four-well microtiter plates were used and the water was dried out before larvae infestation. The reduced use of diet resulted in a very thin (approx. 1.0 mm) layer of diet, which reduced the potential for larvae to burrow in the diet and avoid contact with the active proteins.

Eggs of both species were purchased from French Agricultural Research (Lamberton,

MN). Individual wells were infested with neonate larvae or a pre-weighed second instar southem or westem corn rootworm reared on com seedlings. Plates were incubated at

26°C in sterilized, sealed plastic containers for 6 days. Larvae were weighed after 1 week. Orr et al. (1994) observed that second instar western corn rootworm larvae had a higher proportional proteinase activity, which was attributable to cysteine proteinase

(92%) than southern corn rootworm larvae (75%). The presence of PMC in the diet caused a dose-dependent inhibition of growth in neonate southern com rootworm and second instar southern corn rootworm larvae. Neonate southern corn rootworm and

43 second instar western corn rootworm had similar sensitivity to the inhibitor (50%) inhibitor at 25 - 43.8 )Lig/cm"). In contrast to southern corn rootworm larvae, western corn rootworm growth was completely halted by PMC. Long-term exposure of SCRW larvae to PMC suggested that the larvae become less sensitive to the inhibitor during development. Hen egg cystatin (HEC) and T-PMC were unable to inhibit growth of either species but in SCRW. co-feeding of potato carboxypeptidase inhibitor (PCI) with T-PMC caused growth inhibition. These observations indicated that multicystatins such as PMC could be effective cystatins for use in controlling larvae of Diabrotica species in transgenic plants.

In 1990, Czapla and Lang conducted insect assays studying several lectins with different carbohydrate-specific binding sites in artificial diet to determine their anti- metabolic activity against neonate european corn borer {Osistinia nubialis Hubner), and southem com rootworm {Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber). Both species are major pests of corn. Genes of lectins with anti-insect activity are of great interest for enhancing insect resistance through plant transformation. Czapla and Lang's (1990) study allowed for dividing each culture tray into four treatment groups, each consisted of one row with six cells. Three lectins were screened per tray; each tray included a control treatment. Each cell was infested with two (2) neonate larvae and 12 insects per treatment maximum and in some only had three cells used, resuhing in a total of six insects per treatment. A Mylar film was affixed to the top of each tray to prevent escape and was punctured 12 times with insect pins to provide ventilation. Stoneville® medium was prepared as described except that only 90% of the original water was used. Diet

44 containing 0.5%) (5 mg/g) lectins was prepared with approximately 8.1g of this medium and adding 45mg of lectins (contained in 0.9 ml 0.1 MPBS buffer). The control treatment consisted of 0.9 ml PBS buffer added to 8. Ig medium. The medium was poured into six cells, infested, and covered. All lectins were tested using the topical bioassay. Larval weights and mortality were recorded at 7 days and compared with weights and mortality of the control group. Czapla and Lang (1990), concluded that several lectins where lethal to the european corn borer and to the southern corn rootworm.

Murdock et al. (1988) studied the effects of E-64 on cowpea weevil growth and development by preparing artificial seeds as presented by Shade et al. (1986) that consisted of cowpea flour thoroughly and evenly wetted with water or with an aqueous solution of E-64. The resulting paste is injected into a Teflon mold, frozen, and then lyophilized for 24 hours. Seeds for all treatments were divided into two equal lots and placed into two 0.5-liter glass oviposition jars for infestation. The jars contained 200 newly emerged adults (approx. 100 females) that were allowed to oviposit on the artificial seeds for 24 hours at 25°C and 60%) relative humidity. Five characteristics of cowpea weevil biology were evaluated for each treatment by measuring adult longevity, fecundity, duration of larval + pupal + unemerged aduh stages and percentage of hatched eggs not producing adufts. Murdock et al. (1988) observed that seeds at low levels (0.01-

0.25% by weight) prolonged developmental time and increased mortality of the larval cowpea weevil. The fecundity of females emerging from the artificial seeds was significantiy decreased by E-64 concentrations of 0.06% and higher.

45 Koiwa et al. (2000) conducted bioassays of western corn rootworm (WCR) using plastic trays (C-D International, NJ, USA) with 32 sets (columns) and 4 wells/set. Each 4 well set was a treatment block in a randomized complete block design. The diet used was a modification of Rose and McCabe (1973) and purchased from Bioserv, NJ, USA. The compounds were mixed with the diet prior to loading in each well. The surface of the diet was scratched with a sterile micro-spatula to facilitate feeding. Eggs of WCR were acquired from French Agricultural Research, (Lamberton, MN) and surface-sterilized prior to incubation at 26°C for 2 days. Three neonates were transferred to each well. The mean weight and mortality of each treatment after 12 days post-infestation determined westem corn rootworm response to scN. Regression was used to examine the dose response curve. The work here followed that of Koiwa et al. (2000) who established that soybean cysteine proteinase inhibitor N (soyacystatin N, scN) substantially inhibits development and growth of western corn rootworm.

Rearing southern corn rootworm

Rearing Diabrotica species in laboratories in the Unites States has been done for decades because of the economic importance of these genera to agricultural crops.

Rearing with artificial diets that substitute natural food sources has many advantages, including less labor and time for conducting screening trials through the diet. Bacterial contamination was the major problem with rearing rootworms on artificial diets until

Marrone et al. (1985) improved published procedures. Branson et al. (1975), Rose and

Mccabe (1973), Guss and Krysan (1973), Sutter et al. (1971), and Skelton and Hunter

46 (1970) are some of the attempts to improve laboratory rearing of SCRW before Marrone et al. (1985). Marrone discovered that the main source of contamination of the artificial

diet was associated with eggs. He then developed procedures and tested different

sterilants to sterilize the eggs and improve viability. After modifying published

procedures, 30%) of larvae reared on the improved diet reached 18mg (pupa weight) in 10

days, with < 8%o bacterial contamination of the diet. Although these improvements helped

improved rearing procedures, bacterial contamination can be a major source of reducing

the rearing capability of rootworms, including SCRW.

The artificial diet developed by Rose and McCabe (1973) is widely used and

commercialized for SCRW rearing. Rose and McCabe (1973) developed diets for both

the adult and larval stage of southern corn rootworm. The diet developed for the adult

stage is composed of vanderzant-adkisson special wheat germ for insects (40.0 g), agar

(8.0 g), 10%) KOH (5.0 ml), sliced sweet-potato (40.0 g), alfalfa meal (10.0 g), regular

com oil (3.0 ml), vanderzant modification vitamin mixture for insect diets (2.0 g), active

dry yeast (2.0 g), ascorbic acid (0.5 g), and distilled water (390.0 ml). This diet proved to

be very efficient and used to rear an adult colony for over a year. Rose and McCabe

(1973) also developed an artificial diet for the larval stage of the southem com rootworm

that was composed of vanderzant-adkisson special wheat germ (25.0 g), agar (3.1 g),

distilled water (215.0 ml), methyl paraben (0.20 g), sorbic acid (.10 g), 10% KOH (2.5

ml), formalin (0.15 ml), regular corn oil (1.0 ml), streptomycin (0.030 g), tetracycline

(0.030 g), penicillin "G" (0.075 g), bacitracin (0.030 g) and vanderzant modification

vitamin mixture for insect diets (2.0 g). Over 40% of the newly hatched larvae placed on

47 the artificial diet successfully completed larval development to pupae in 20 to 21 days.

This diet described by Rose and McCabe (1973) is widely used for southern corn rootworm rearing in laboratory and listed in catalogs of insect diet supply companies as their base reference for the commercialized formula.

Objectives

The major objective of this study is to develop a dietary assay for incorporating the soybean proteinase inhibitor (Soyacystatin N, scN) and E-64 into the artificial diet of southern corn rootworm and to determine the affects of the inhibitors on larval growth and development as a potential for host plant-resistance. The methodology, if proved efficient, can be used to test other cysteine proteinase inhibitors and lectins against a broad spectrum of insect pests. If soyacystatin N (scN) proves to be significantly active against southern corn rootworm, cysteine proteinase inhibitor (scN) detection in wild peanut lines at Texas A&M University, aiming a traditional breeding program to develop peanut varieties resistant or more tolerant to SCRW feeding will be done as a continuation of this research.

Materials and Methodologv

Purification of recombinant soyacystatin N, and E-64 acquisition

Purification of scN was done in the laboratory of Dr. Keyan Zhu-Salzman at the

Normal Bourlag Technology Center, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.

Bacteria expressed recombinant scN was obtained following Koiwa et al. (2000).

48 Bacterial strain BL21 harboring a construct containing the cDNA encoding scN was

grown in laboratory at 37°C. Recombinant protein production was then induced with

isopropyl-D-thiogalactoside overnight at 18"C, Cells were disrupted by sonication, and

recombinant proteins were purified via a Ni2 + chelate affinity column (Amersham

Pharmacia Biotech). Purified proteins were then dialyzed against distilled water and

lyophilized. The E-64, [trans-Epoxysuccibyl-l-Leucylamido-(4-Guanidino)Butane]

synthetic inliibitor was acquired from Sigma® Chemical Company, product number E-

3132.

Southern corn rootworm feeding bioassay

Eggs of southern corn rootworm were acquired from French Agricultural

Research (Lamberton, MN) and incorporated to humidified sterile filter papers for

hatching at 27°C. Hatching took from 9 to 12 days where f' instar larvae were

transferred to artificial diet when enough larvae were harvested to conduct the

experiment. Artificial diet for rearing SCRW larvae (Rose and McCabe, 1973) was

purchased from Bio-serv® (Frenchtown, NJ) and prepared following company

instructions. Well plates (4 x6 wells on 13 x 16 cm, cells culture clusters. Coming

Incorporated, Coming, NY) were used instead off diet cups due to the need for using

smaller quantities of diet per well (1ml/ well), without allowing the diet to dry. After

preparation of the diet, antibiotics were added (ampicillin at 50mg/ml of diet and

tetracycline at 15mg/ml of diet) to slow down bacteria development in the diet. Four

experiments were completed at Texas Tech University, entomology laboratories. Two

49 experiments for each inhibitor, held at the same conditions, 27° C, 40% R.H., and complete dark were completed. Southern corn rootworm larvae were reared for seven days on regular artificial diet before they were transferred into diet inoculated with

inhibitors. Assays were arranged as completely randomized designs, with each treatment

replicated four times. The inhibitors we topically applied using a solution prepared with

sterile, distilled water. Diet was allowed to cool and become solid before the application

of inhibitors. The surface of the diet was punctured with a sterile needle too allow

penetration of the compounds into the diet and facilitate feeding by larvae. Soyacystatin

N treatment arrangements included a control, 0.25, 0.75 and 1.5mg of scN/ml of diet.

Four larvae were placed in each well and replicated four times, each well consisted of one

replication. Parafilm® was used to cover well plates with small holes inserted for air

circulation. Feeding bioassays were held at 27°C for 7 days. E-64 experiments followed

the same methodology as the scN trials and doses of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg of E-64/ml were

evaluated.

Larval mortality was assessed daily and larval weight gain was measured by

weighing the larvae at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. The data was

analyzed with PROC ANOVA, with means separated by Fisher's Protected LSD (SAS

Institute 1989). Treatment affects were measured by correlating treatment doses with

larval mortality and by regressing weight gain of surviving larvae with dosage of

inhibitor

50 Results

The insect-bioassay system used one-week-old southern corn rootworm larvae

and measured mortality and weight gain per treatment over a seven-day period. No

cannibalism was observed in these assays. Results include the combined values from two

separate experiments for each inhibitor (scN and E-64) (Table 3.1 and Figures 3.1 - 3.6).

Soyacystatin N (scN) was incorporated into the diet at concentrations of 0.25,

0.75, 1.50 mg/ml of diet and a control set was present. Results showed that larval

mortality significantiy increased {P < 0.05) by scN ingestion in all treatments (F= 11.10,

df= 31, and P=<.0001) (Table 3.1). Soyacystatin N at 1.50 mg/ml (Higher concentration)

had 71.88%) final mortality, more than double when compared to the control group and

significantiy different when compared to both the control group and scN at 0.25mg/ml.

Soyacystatin N at 0.75 mg/ml resulted in 50.0% final mortality and was significantiy

greater than the control group and statistically similar to 0.25 and 1.50 mg/ml

concentration treatments. Finally, scN at 0.25 mg/ml was significantly greater than the

control group with 37.5%o of final mortality. All treatment doses increased southem com

rootworm larvae mortality and were significantly greater than the control group. Larval

development measured by weight gain showed no differences after 4 days of feeding on

scN inhibitor (Figure 3.1). However, after 7 days, all treatments showed reduced weight

gain when compared to the control group (Figure 3.2). Soyacystatin N incorporated into the diet of SCRW resulted in a dose response and a significant reduction in weight gain of surviving larvae after seven days. There was a significant linear relationship between

51 doses of scN and weight gain of surviving larvae as showed by linear regression analysis

(F= 7.09, df= 31, P=0.0124, R^ = 0.223, Y= 0.97 - 0.57x) (Figure 3.5).

E-64 was incorporated into the diet at concentrations of 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00

mg/ml of diet. Results showed that larval mortality significantly increased {P < 0.05) by

E-64 ingestion in the higher dose treatment (2.00 mg/ml), whereas both 0.50 mg/ml and

1.00 mg/ml were statistically similar to the control and the higher dose treatment (F=

3.77, df=31, P= 0.0218) (Table 3.1). E-64 at 2.00 mg/ml was significantiy greater than

the control group and resulted in 53.13% final mortality, over twice that of the control

group. E-64 at 0.50 mg/ml and 1.00 mg/ml were significantly similar to the control and

the higher treatment and resulted in 31.25% and 40.63% final mortality, respectively.

Larval weight gain was not different after 4 days of feeding on E-64 (Figure 3.3).

However, after seven days, all treatments showed reduced weight gain when compared to

the control treatment (Figure 3.4). E-64 incorporated into the diet of SCRW resulted in a

dose response and a significant reduction in weight gain of surviving larvae after seven

days feeding on diet infested with inhibitor. There was a significant linear relationship

between doses of E-64 and weight gain of surviving larvae as showed by regression

analysis (F= 4.39, df= 31, P= 0.0447, R^ = 0.127, Y= 0.59 -0.37x) (Figure 3.6).

Discussions

Soyacystatin N (scN) significantly increased mortality of southern corn rootworm larvae feeding on infested diet. The higher dose (1.50 mg/ml) accounted for 71.9% of final mortality, more than double than the control group. All treatments were significantly

52 greater than the control group, which averaged 31.3% of final mortality. Cannibalism did

not occur on insect assays and results represent the combined values of two separated

experiments for each compound (scN and E-64). Larval development assessed by

measuring weight gain of surviving larvae showed no significant differences after 4 days

of feeding however, differences were significant after 7 days. The control group had a

1.15 mg weight gain per replicate that accounted to a 0.29 mg greater difference when

compared to the higher scN dose (1.50mg/ml). Treatment dose at 0.75 mg/ml had 0.61mg

of weight gain that accounted for 0.54 mg greater than the control group while the 0.25

mg/ml treatment had a 0.89 mg of weight gain, 0.26 mg greater than the control

treatment. The higher treatment if scN (1.50 mg/ml) had a higher weight gain than the

0.75 mg/ml dose. Variation of individual larval weights and topical application of the

treatments might have contributed to this.

E-64 incorporated on artificial diet significantly increased southern com

rootworm larval mortality. The higher treatment dose was significantly different from the

treatment group and statistically similar to the others treatment doses (0.50 mg/ml and

1.00 mg/ml). The 2.00 mg/ml treatment dose had 53.13% of final mortality that was

doubled the value from the control group that had 25% of final mortality. Intermediate

treatment groups (0.50 mg/ml and 1.00 mg/ml) were statistically similar to the control

and the higher dose treatment however, numerical difference was observed and both

treatments were greater than the control group and smaller than the higher dose treatment

(31.25%) and 40.63% mortality, respectively). Larval development assessed by weight gain of surviving larvae demonstiated no statistical difference after 4 days of feeding,

53 however significant differences were observed after 7 days. Each treatment doses had

weight gains less than half when compared to the control group. 2.00 mg/ml E-64

treatment dose had 0.26 mg, 1.00 mg/ml dose had 0.25 mg, and 0.50 mg/ml had 0.40 mg

of weight gain. A significant linear relationship between existed between E-64 dosage

incorporated into SCRW diet and weight gain of surviving larvae (F= 4.39, df= 31, P=

0.0447, R^ = 0.127, Y= 0.59 -0.37x) (Figure 3.6).

Conclusions

Soyacystatin N (scN), cysteine proteinase inhibitor, proved to significantly affect

southem corn rootworm larvae development and increase mortality in laboratory

bioassays. The inhibitor can be considered a good candidate for a host-plant resistance program against Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber on peanuts. E-64, synthetic

inhibitor caused significant increase in southern corn rootworm mortality in laboratory bioassays and affected larval development assessed by weight gain. There was a

significant linear relationship between E-64 dose and weight gain of surviving larvae and a curve-response to dose. E-64 demonstrated that the methodology is reliable and can be used to assess other protein inhibitors against a broad spectrum of insect pests.
