添加蚯蚓对小麦接种麦蚜种群动态影响

Effects of earthworm addition on the population dynamics of inoculated wheat aphids

  • 摘要: 有关植物与地下生物或植物与地上生物之间相互作用的研究很多, 但地下生物通过植物介导对地上生物影响的研究较少。土壤生物蚯蚓可以通过植物的生长和化学变化影响植物和植食性昆虫之间的相互作用。通过室内盆栽试验, 设置添加0 (−E)、1 (+1E)、2 (+2E)和4 (+4E)条∙盆−1蚯蚓威廉腔环蚓(Metaphire guillelmi)4个处理, 并接3种麦蚜麦二叉蚜(Schizaphis graminum)、麦长管蚜(Sitobion avenae)和禾谷缢管蚜(Rhopalosiphum padi), 探究蚯蚓和蚜虫对小麦的初生、次生代谢物含量及3种蚜虫种群动态的影响, 以期为农田生态系统蚯蚓-小麦-蚜虫的关系提供理论支撑。结果表明: 添加不同密度蚯蚓增加了小麦茎叶和根生物量、茎叶总黄酮和总酚含量, 降低了茎叶和根总碳/总氮比率;+4E增加了茎叶和根总氮含量, +1E和+2E降低了根总碳含量。接种蚜虫降低了小麦茎叶生物量、茎叶和根总氮含量, 但增加了−E处理下茎叶总黄酮和+4E处理下总酚含量。随着添加蚯蚓密度增加, 3种蚜虫种群数量均呈逻辑斯谛S形曲线, 其密度和环境容纳量(K)随蚯蚓密度增加而增加。相关分析结果表明, 小麦茎叶生物量、茎叶总黄酮和总酚与蚜虫种群数量呈正相关。RDA分析表明, 小麦茎叶生物量和初生代谢物(茎叶可溶性糖、总碳和总氮)解释48.83%蚜虫种群变化, 次生代谢物(茎叶总黄酮和总酚)解释11.91%蚜虫种群变化, 土壤理化性质解释31.90%蚜虫种群变化。接种蚜虫后, 添加蚯蚓减缓蚜虫对小麦茎叶生物量和总碳的负面影响。研究结果为深入理解土壤、植物和害虫之间的相互作用机制提供重要依据。

     

    Abstract: Studies on interactions between plants and belowground organisms or between plants and aboveground organisms are numerous. However, research on the effects of belowground organisms on aboveground organisms via plant mediation remains limited. Soil organisms can influence interactions between plants and phytophagous insects‌ by altering plant growth and chemistry. Four treatments, including addition of 0 (−E), 1 (+1E), 2 (+2E), and 4 (+4E) Metaphire guillelmi individuals per pot, were applied, and three species wheat aphids (Schizaphis graminum, Sitobion avenae, and Rhopalosiphum padi) were inoculated to investigate the effects of earthworms and aphids on the primary and secondary metabolites of wheat, as well as on the population dynamics of three aphid species through indoor potted experiments. This study aims to provide theoretical support for understanding interactions among soil biota (earthworms), wheat, and aphids in agricultural ecosystems. The results indicated that earthworm addition at different densities increased the biomass of wheat shoots and roots, and the total flavonoid and total phenol contents of wheat shoots; whereas decreased the ratio of total carbon to total nitrogen of wheat shoots and roots. The +4E treatment increased the total nitrogen content of wheat shoots and roots, +1E and +2E treatments decreased the root total carbon content. Aphid inoculation reduced the wheat shoots biomass, content of total nitrogen of wheat shoots and roots, whereas increased the ratio of total carbon to total nitrogen of wheat shoots and roots, the total flavonoid under −E treatment and total phenol contents under +4E treatment of wheat shoots. The population dynamics of all three aphid species exhibited logistic S-shaped curves, and their population densities and environmental capacity (K) increased with rising earthworm density. Correlation analysis revealed that wheat shoot biomass, total flavonoid content, and total phenol content were positively correlated with the population density of the three aphid species. As earthworm density increased, the biomass, and contents of total carbon and total nitrogen of wheat shoots also increased. Redundancy analysis showed that biomass and primary metabolites (soluble sugar, total carbon, and total nitrogen) of wheat shoots explained 48.83% of the variation in aphid population size, whereas secondary metabolites (total flavonoids and total phenols) of wheat shoots and soil physicochemical properties explained 11.91% and 31.90% of the variation, respectively. Under aphid inoculation, earthworm addition mitigated the negative effects of aphids on the biomass and total carbon of wheat shoots. These results provide an important basis for understanding the interaction mechanisms among soil, plants, and pests.
