保幼激素和蜕皮激素对家蚕翅原基生长分化的影响

Insect Hormonal Regulation of Wing discs in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori

  • 摘要: 翅原基(Wing disc)是昆虫幼虫体内成虫原基的一种,经生长分化后最终形成成虫翅。翅原基是研究昆虫变态发育过程的一个理想系统。为探究发育过程中翅原基的生长变化,本文以家蚕翅原基为材料,通过离体和石蜡切片的方法观察了翅原基从5龄第3天至蛹期0天的形态变化,并通过注射外源蜕皮激素活性物质20E和保幼激素类似物Methoprene探究了昆虫激素对家蚕翅原基生长分化的影响。结果显示,翅原基在幼虫阶段发育缓慢,从5龄第6天起生长分化逐渐加快,且翅原基的形态发生了显著变化,原本附着于翅原基腔口处且呈团状的造血器官逐渐分散至消失,而由气管组成的翅脉逐渐形成。外源激素处理的结果显示,2μg剂量的20E可促进翅原基的生长分化,而2μg 的Methoprene抑制了翅原基的生长分化。上述结果暗示了,蜕皮激素和保幼激素共同调控了翅原基的生长分化,并最终实现了翅原基的变态发育。

     

    Abstract: Wing discs, finally growing into the adult wings, is one of the imaginal discs in insects and it is an ideal system for studying the development process of insects. To better understand the morphological transformation and hormonal regulation of wing discs during the development, the morphology of wing discs from day 3 of 5th larval instar to day 0 of pupa were observed by separated wing disc and the paraffin sections. To determine whether the growth and differentiation of wing discs were regulated by insect hormone, ecdysone 20E and juvenile hormone analogue Methoprene were injected into the silkworm at day 3 of 5th larval instar separately. The results showed that the wing discs grown slowly at larval stage but grown quickly from day 6 of 5th larval instar. What’s more, the morphology and structure of wing discs changed significantly. The hematopoietic organ degraded gradually and the veins formed finally. The development and differentiation of the wing discs were positively regulated by the certain dose of 20E and negatively regulated by Methoprene. The above results indicated that ecdysone and juvenile hormone regulated the growth and differentiation of wing discs, resulting in the metamorphosis of wing discs.
