Summary Life stages of the primitive Australian ithomiine butterflyTellervo zoilus and its larval hostplant, the apocynaceous vineParsonsia straminea, were quantitatively assayed for pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). PAs were found in all stages, mainly as N-oxides, being most concentrated in larvae and freshly-emerged adults. Although adults feed at various confirmed PA sources this probably does not compensate for losses, as wild-caught adults had considerably lower concentrations of PAs. The main alkaloid present in both freshly-emerged adults and in leaves of the host-plant was lycopsamine (1b), stored by butterflies in the N-oxide form. Its presence in higher proportion, in relation to intermedine (1a), in larvae, pupae and adults ofTellervo in relation to the host-plants suggests the inversion of intermedine to lycopsamine by the insects. No 14-member ring macrocyclic PAs were detected in either food-plant or butterflies. Several other PAs were found in wild-caught adults reflecting visits to other PA sources. PAs were also found in high concentrations in freshly-emerged individuals of the danaineEuploea core bred onParsonsia straminea. Wild-caughtDanaus affinis had high PA levels acquired from adult feeding. Freshly emergedEuploea raised onIschnocarpus frutescens andDanaus raised onIschnostemma carnosum (both PA-free) were preyed on by the orb weaving spiderNephila maculata, and showed no PAs. In all cases where PAs were present, most butterflies were liberated, usually cut out of the web unharmed, byNephila. The spider's response was not closely linked to PA concentration, however, and may also depend on hunger levels and previous experience with PA-containing butterflies. All control and other non-PA containing butterflies were consumed although rejection of some body parts of freshly-emergedDanaus affinis suggests that compounds other than PAs may be involved. 相似文献

Summary. Several species of Longitarsus take up, metabolize and
store pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) from their host plants. In feeding experiments using
radioactively labeled PAs of different types we examined the time course of the sequestration
process in L. jacobaeae and
L. aeruginosus. We found that adapted species efficiently
store PAs for at least two weeks without major losses. During that time, there is virtually
no change in the ratio of tertiary alkaloids to stored non-toxic
N-oxides, regardless of chemical form fed to the beetles. This
implies a transient N-oxidation process where the alkaloids are
only temporarily accessible to the enzyme. A dissection experiment with
L. aeruginosus six days after uptake of labeled PAs
showed that the tertiary alkaloids are not found in the hemolymph but are stored in the
elytra and other body compartments. This conforms with earlier experiments that localized the
enzymes site of action in the hemolymph. Furthermore we show that different total alkaloid
doses in the diet of L. jacobaeae and the potentially less
adapted L. succineus do not affect the ratio of recovered
N-oxides to tertiary molecules. Thus, the efficiency of the
N-oxidizing enzyme is not dependent on the concentration of
alkaloids offered. 相似文献

Summary. Evidence is presented that pyrrolizidine alkaloid acquired
by Utetheisa ornatrix (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae) as a larva
from Crotalaria foodplants is incorporated in part into the scales
of the adult. A single forewing of a male or female moth may contain in
the order of 6 to 13 g monocrotaline in its scale cover or about 1 to 2%
of the moths systemic monocrotaline content. Based on estimates of the number
of scales per forewing, the monocrotaline content of individual scales is calculated
to be in the order of 0.1 and 0.2 ng monocrotaline per male and female scale,
respectively. This amounts to concentrations of about 1 and 3%, values roughly at
a par with the average systemic concentration (0.5-0.6%) previously determined
for monocrotaline in Utetheisa. It is argued that the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloid
in the moths scale coating could account for the promptness with which adult Utetheisa are
rejected by spiders. It is suggested further that chemical impregnation of scales with substances
deterrent to predators may be more widespread among insects than generally assumed. 相似文献

Summary. Several species of the flea beetles genus Longitarsus are able to sequester pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) from their host plants. In five Longitarsus species we compare the concentration of PAs present in their host plants belonging to the Asteraceae or Boraginaceae with
those found in the beetles. To get an estimate of the intrapopulation variability, three samples of five beetles each and
five individual plants were analyzed for each comparison. A strong intrapopulation variability could be detected both among
plant and beetle samples. The total concentration found in the beetles varied strongly between species. The local host plant
and its phenology influence the concentrations present in the beetles as evidenced in comparisons of a single beetle species
from two different hosts and of one beetle species collected at the same site at different times of the year. In addition,
different beetle species apparently vary in their capacity to sequester the alkaloids, at the lowest extreme the mean PA concentration
in the beetles (0.034 μg PA/mg dry weight) was 1/30 of the mean concentration found in the plant leaves (L. aeruginosus from Eupatorium cannabinum), at the highest extreme (2.098 μg PA/mg dw) the concentration in the beetles was a 1000 fold higher than in the plant leaves
(L. nasturtii from Symphytum officinale). The highest mean concentration found in the beetles was 3.446 μg/mg dw (L. exoletus from Cynoglossum officinale). The absolute concentrations found in the beetles are comparable to other insects which have been shown to be effectively
defended against their potential predators.

Summary Glycosidase inhibitors are widespread in plants and can be sequestered by Lepidoptera, for which they can presumably serve as defences by making the insects indigestible to a range of potential predators. As a result of this study of eight British species of moth and butterfly it was found that glycosidase inhibitors in the insects could then be detected in the larval food plants which were not previously known to contain them; however, some were only detectable in the plants after concentration. In some cases the inhibition of specific glycosidases by Lepidoptera was detected even though the insects had not apparently acquired them from their food plants. Inhibition of-N-acetylglucosaminidase was observed in most of the adult Lepidoptera analysed but further work is required to identify the inhibitors, though they are likely to be nitrogen-containing compounds. Weak anti-HIV activity was also observed in the glycosidase-inhibiting fractions ofAcherontia atropos and the plantUrtica dioica. 相似文献

Summary The antMyrmicaria eumenoides is a significant arthropod predator. For rapid attraction of large numbers of nestmates to newly discovered food sources the ants use an efficient recruitment communication system based on the poison gland secretion. Workers exhibit age-based division of labour. Young workers perform brood-care; their poison gland reservoir develops and reaches its final size of 0.5 µl at an age of 6 weeks, when they become foragers. The secretion deposited during combat with enemies or prey is composed of equal amounts of both a high volatile and a low volatile fraction. Within the high volatile fraction (+)—limonene is the main component (97%) and is the only olfactory trigger to alert ants in the vicinity and to recruit them to places of combat, where they assemble. Ants respond to synthetic (+)—limonene in exactly the same way as to the poison gland secretion when applied at the same airborne concentrations. Further components of the high volatile fraction are four additional monoterpene hydrocarbons and hexanoic nitrile. The high volatile and the low volatile fraction of the poison gland secretion each have dual functions: The low volatiles, of which the main component is an alkaloid, serve as a fixative and extend the effective period of the limonene signal by modifying its evaporation kinetics. On the other hand the high volatile recruitment signal (+)—limonene is also the solvent for the alkaloid and enhances its spreading on the surface of the cuticle of arthropod enemies or prey. 相似文献

Summary. Sequestration and processing of pyrrolizidine alkaloids
(PAs) by leaf beetles of the genus Platyphora were investigated. Tracer
experiments with labeled alkaloids were performed with P. eucosma
feeding on Koanophyllon panamense (Asteraceae, tribe Eupatorieae). P.
eucosma catalyzes the same reactions previously demonstrated for P.
boucardi specialized to Prestonia portobellensis (Apocynaceae): (i)
epimerization of rinderine to intermedine; (ii) esterification of
retronecine yielding insect-specific PAs; (iii) efficient transport of
the PAs as free bases into the defensive secretions. P. bella feeding on
Tournefortia cuspidata (Boraginaceae) shows the same sequestration
behavior and ability to synthesize the specific retronecine esters. P.
ligata, a species phylogenetically closely related to the PA adapted
species and clustering in the same clade, but feeding on a host plant
devoid of PAs, feeds easily on PA treated host-plant leaves, but does
not sequester or metabolize PAs. P. kollari a species clustering outside
the PA clade refused to feed on its food-plant leaves painted with PAs.
The results are discussed in relation to host-plant selection of the PA
adapted species and the role of PAs in chemical defense.

Summary. Field collected exocrine defensive secretions of nine neotropical Platyphora species were analyzed for the presence of plant acquired pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and pentacyclic triterpene saponins.
All species secrete saponins. In addition, five species feeding on Tournefortia (Boraginaceae), Koanophyllon (Asteraceae, tribe Eupatorieae) and Prestonia (Apocynaceae) were shown to sequester PAs of the lycopsamine type, which are characteristic for species of the three plant
families. The PA sequestering species commonly store intermedine, lycopsamine and their O3′-acetyl or propionyl esters as well as O7- and O9-hydroxyisovaleryl esters of retronecine. The latter as well as the O3′-acyl esters were not found in the beetles’ host plants, suggesting the ability of the beetles to esterify plant derived retronecine
and intermedine or its stereoisomers. Despite the conformity of the beetles’ PA patterns, considerable inconsistencies exist
regarding the PA patterns of the respective host plants. One host plant was devoid of PAs, while another contained only simple
necines. Since the previous history of the field collected beetles was unknown this discrepancy remains obscure. In contrast
to the Palearctic chrysomeline leaf beetles, e.g. some Oreina species which ingest and store PAs as their non-toxic N-oxides, Platyphora leaf beetles absorb and store PAs as the toxic free base (tertiary PA), but apparently avoid to accumulate PAs in the haemolymph.
This suggests that Chrysolina and Platyphora leaf beetles developed different lines of adaptations in their parallel evolution of PA mediated chemical defense.
