The results showed that all parts of S. kwangsiensis Lo. had contact activity against brown planthoppers, Nilaparvata lugens Stal, and the contact activity of methanol extract from root tubers was the highest, with a LD50 value being 1.5794 lag/female. l-roemerine was isolated from root tubers of S. kwangsiensis Lo. and identified, and it was the main active ingredient. l-roemerine had high contact toxicity to brown planthoppers, with a LD50 value being 0.0443 lag/female. Contact toxicity of l-roemerine to brown planthoppers was 7.48 times that of malathion, the convientional chemical insecticide used for controlling brown planthoppers.l-roemerine also had stomach poison activity against brown planthoppers.展开更多

Studies of rice-BPH interaction have contributed to development of new rice varieties, offering an effective means for long-lasting control of BPH. Here, we review the status of knowledge of the molecular basis of rice-BPH interaction, from the perspective of immunity. The BPH has complicated feeding behaviors on rice, which are mainly related to host resistance. Now, 24 resistance genes have been detected in rice, indicating gene-for-gene relationships with biotypes of the BPH. However, only one BPH resistance gene （Bph14） was identified and characterized using map-based cloning. Bph14 encodes an immune receptor of NB-LRR family, providing a means for studying the molecular mechanisms of rice resistance to BPH. Plant hormones （e.g. salicylic acid and jasmonate/ethylene）, Ca2＋, mitogen-activated protein kinases （MAPKs）, and OsRacl play important roles in the immune response of rice to BPH. Signal transduction leads to modifying expression of defense- related genes and defense mechanisms against BPH, including sieve tube sealing, production of secondary metabolites, and induction of proteinase inhibitor. A model for the molecular interactions between rice and the BPH is proposed, although many details remain to be investigated that are valuable for molecular design of BPH-resistant rice varieties.展开更多
