The results showed that the laboratory population had relatively lower genetic variation than natural populations. The genetic variation between natural populations was not significant and genetic variation existed in the same location from different years, indicating frequent migration among natural cotton bollworm populations.
The laboratorial population of Yunnan strain of Aedes albopictus had been successfully established after domestication and reproduction in August 1992 and reproduced 32 generations.
The biology of laboratory colony of Asian corn borer(ACB), Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée (lepidoptera: pyralidae), was observed during 1978-1982 for 46 generations in the laboratory.
The results of 4 kinds of concentration Bombyx mori nuclearpolyhedrosis virus infected 1 to 5 instar larvae of Lymantria dispar are that themortality of the infected larval are higher than the comparisons. The controleffect of the concentration of 1.44×106PIB/ml is best.
Methods Laboratory colonies of the two species of mosquitoes were set up and were inoculated intrathoracically with the attenuated vaccine virus and wild JE viurs (Nak), both of which were used with different dilution from 10 -1 to 10 -9. Subsequently, the virus titers in the mosquitoes were detected by the plaque assay.
Results: The characteristic 600bp products were observed after amplification of extracts from 4 subspecies of Culex pipiens complex and 4 geographical strains of Aedes albopictus.
Two field populations showed relatively high levels of azinphosmethyl tolerance, which were further increased by selection to 24-48 times that of a susceptible laboratory population.
1.1.3.6), purified fromStreptomyces culture filtrate was previously found to have oral insecticidal activity on neonate larvae of the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman) from a laboratory population.
Two laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster carrying autosome 3 with a meiotic mutation c(3)G, that is maintained since 1985 in various balancer chromosomes, were used to study progeny survival.
Instability of cryptic plasmids in Sinorhizobium meliloti laboratory strains SXM1, DM7-R, and P108 as well as in their clones isolated from nodules of alfalfa grown during a long-term microvegetation experiment (120 days) was studied.
The genomes of laboratory strains used in the study contained the full-sized hobo elements, which could differ from one another relative to the structure of variable region and affinity to different DNA sequences.
It is suggested that chromosomal studies in the taxonomy of hymenopterans should be used as a method of express analysis of outdoor populations and laboratory strains of these insects.
