Brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens St?l, BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice, and the utilization of resistant cultivar has been recognized as one of effective measures for BPH management. In this paper, biotypes and resistant genes of rice brown planthopper (BPH) were reviewed. Breeding status of resistance to BPH of state are introduced in detail, and suggestions were made on research about resistant breeding in the future.
Tobacco black shank is one of the most serious diseases of tobacco. People mainly adopt integrated management to the disease like, breeding for resistance varieties, agro-protection, chemical control, biological control and plant induced resistance in production of tobacco. Biological control is the best way against the disease for tobacco. The strain ZY-19-2 was isolated and screened from rhizosphere of tobacco, which demonstrated high inhibitory to tobacco black shank. In order to appraise its value, we identified the strain and studied its activity of Chitinase in different culture conditions. The results indicated that the stain ZY-19-2 was Paecilomyces lilacinus, which showed strongly inhibition action to parasitica Phytophthroa Dast var. nicotianae and the highest activity of Chitinase was 0.216 U/mL using 1.2% chitin as carbons source in the medium and the initial pH of fermentation fluid was 6.0, with 1% peptone as nitrogen, 0.1% Tween-80 as a surfactant, fermentation time being 60 h, rotation speed of 120 min. The strain ZY-19-2 was optimized in culture different conditions, which established foundation on producing highly effective Chitinase and chitooligosaccarides and controlling tobacco black shank.
The author took three kinds of fruit flies for materials, discussed the extraction of genomic DNA with high quality, studied on the effect of template DNA concentration, primer concentration, the amount of Taq DNA polymerase, dNTP concentration, annealing temperature and time on ISSR-PCR amplified results, established fruit flies’ general and stable ISSR-PCR reaction system. The result showed that the author obtained the fruit flies’ genomic DNA with high quality, established fruit flies’ general and stable ISSR-PCR reaction system that adapt to fruit flies: 2.5 μL 10×PCR Buffer, 50ng template DNA, 0.25 μmol/L primer, 0.5 U Taq DNA polymerase, 200 μmol/L dNTP and add ddH2O to 25 μL, made clear the ISSR-PCR amplification program: pre-denaturalized at 94℃ for 5 min, denaturalized at 94℃ for 30 s, annealed at 52.4℃ for 45 s, extended at 72℃ for 90 s, 36 cycles, at last extended at 72℃ for 7 min, then conserved at 4℃. The establishment of optimized system made up for the shortage of fruit flies’ traditional morphology observation, and laid a foundation for fast and accurate identification, population heterogeneity and analysis of genetic diversity.

In order to gain the knowledge of genetic diversity of wheat varieties with resistance to wheat midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana), on the basis of field insect plot appraisal, 47 wheat varieties/lines were involved by 19 SSR markers to explore their genetic diversity. The 19 SSR markers were screened and a total of 104 allelic variants were detected in 47 wheat varieties. Three to eight alleles per marker were detected, with an average of 5.47. The means of alleles of high resistant, moderate resistant, sensitive and high sensitive varieties were 4.11, 4.68, 3.95 and 3.84, respectively. The PIC (polymorphism information content) for each polymorphic primer was varied from 0.35 to 0.86 with an average of 0.74. The PICs of high resistant, moderate, sensitive and high sensitive varieties had an average of 0.64 (0.31~0.81), 0.69 (0.38~0.88), 0.67 (0.40~0.80) and 0.67 (0.20~0.89), respectively. The genetic distance (GD) of 47 varieties was ranged from 0.40 to 0.95, with an average of 0.71. The GDs of high resistant, moderate resistant and high sensitive varieties were varied from 0.40 to 0.95, from 0.46 to 0.90 and from 0.41 to 0.90, with an average of 0.66, 0.69 and 0.68. Based on cluster analysis results, the 47 varieties were clustered into six groups. Resistant variety Jinmai 65 was a group by oneself, indicating that there was a farther genetic relationship between Jinmai 65 and other varieties, and so the Jinmai 65 might be used as resistant parent and might be popularized in production.
To understand the control effects of creating new pesticide of Dufulin against SRBSDV and the ideal control methods, the field trials were completed in rice through field spray about the pesticides of 30% Dufulin WP, 25% pymetrozine?thiamethoxam SC, 10% Ethofenprox MG, 8% Ninnan mycin AS and its combination. The results showed that, at original field tillering stage, at a dosage of 375 mL/hm2 and 900 g/hm2, the control effects of the combination about 25% pymetrozine?thiamethoxam SC WP and 30% Dufulin WP were better, i.e. 66.67%, and the control effects of 25% pymetrozine?thiamethoxam SC, 10% Ethofenprox MG, 30% Dufulin WP and 8% Ninnan mycin AS were 50.51%, 33.33%, 33.33% and 17.12%, respectively. At harvest stage, the control effects of the combination about 25% pymetrozine?thiamethoxam SC WP and 30% Dufulin WP also were better, i.e. 73.24%, and the control effects of the others treatment goups were 46.48%, 45.07%, 43.66% and 42.25%, respectively. Meanwhile, the crop yield showed that, being comparable with CK-treatment group, the increasing yield about combination about 25% pymetrozine?thiamethoxam SC WP and 30% Dufulin WP were better, i.e. 66.67%, and its of others treatment group were 249.75%, 230.7%, 208.65% and 104.7%, respectively. Therefore the combination of 25% pymetrozine?thiamethoxam SC and 30% Dufulin WP can control SRBSDV.
