Helicoverpa armigera larvae when in the first, second and thirdinstar could not survive if fed on transgenic cotton leaves. Consequently, C. chlorideae larvaecould not complete their development if parasitizing on such hosts. After H. armigera larvae werereared on transgenic or traditional cotton leaves for 12-48 hours, they were parasitized by C.chlorideae females. Parasitized larvae continued to feed on transgenic or traditional cotton for12-48 h. The present results showed that the body weight of larvae of the parasitoids weresignificantly reduced when parasitized hosts fed on transgenic cotton leaves compared to those fedon traditional cotton. Duration of egg and larvae stage were significantly prolonged, pupal andadult weight of C. chloridae was decreased when the host larvae fed on transgenic cotton leaveslonger than 48 h. The development duration of C. chlorideae pupae on the hosts fed on transgeniccotton leaves in each treatment was not significantly different from those of controls. Thelongevity of parasitoid females and males fed with a solution containing Cry1Ac toxin was notsignificantly different with that of the control.展开更多

In wind- tunnel, C. chlorideae was strongly attracted by herbivore- induced tobacco volatiles. Mechanically damaged tobacco leaves, whether treated with caterpillar regurgitant or water, were more attractive to the parasitoid than undamaged to-bacco leaves. GC-MS analysis revealed that only 4 com-pounds were released from undamaged tobacco leaves, whereas 13 compounds were commonly emitted from herbi-vore-infested and mechanically damaged tobacco leaves. Compound β-pinene was specifically induced by the infesta- tion of H. armigera, and (Z)-3-hexenal was only induced by the infestation of H. armigera and H. assulta, whereas hexyl acetate was only induced by mechanical damage. Tobacco leaves infested by H. armigera and H. assulta released larger amounts of volatiles than undamaged tobacco leaves did. Tobacco leaves treated with artificial damage plus caterpil- lars regurgitant or water emitted the same levels of volatiles, which were higher than that emitted by undamaged tobacco leaves. The emission amounts of single compounds were also different between differently treated plants. The differences were large between herbivore-induced and mechanical dam-age-induced compounds, and small between H. armigera- and H. assulta-induced compounds, and among compounds emitted from mechanically damaged plants treated with wa-ter or caterpillar regurgitant.展开更多

Eleven healthy subjects participated in the present study (nine women, two men). Subjects carried out the Uchida-Kraepelin Test for 15 min before and after chewing tasteless gum for five minutes. The oxygenation of the left prefrontal cortex was monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy during the computational tasks. Task scores did not differ significantly according to chewing frequency (p > 0.05). Conversely, the oxygenation value measured after mastication at a chewing frequency of 110 times/minute (Hz) was significantly higher than that observed before mastication (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, before and after levels of oxygenation did not differ significantly for chewing frequencies of 30 Hz and 70 Hz (p > 0.05 for both). The results of the present study suggest that tasteless mastication does not enhance calculation performance, while a high mastication frequency demonstrates an influence on oxygenation. However, our study indicates that chewing tasteless gum per se does not increase cognitive performance.展开更多
