摘要: Parasitoid adults can directly feed on floral nectar and honeydew containing monosaccharides and disaccharides. Oligosaccharides such as maltose, melezitose and raffinose are also found in honeydew but are rare in floral nectar. The effects of six different sugar resources on the longevity, fecundity and nutrient reserves of Microplitis mediator, a larval endoparasitoid in the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera (Huebner) were determined in our laboratory. The results showed that both food and sex affected longevity of this wasp. Females and males of M. mediator fed with 1 M sucrose solution survived longer than controls fed with water (5.7- and 3.7-fold longer, respectively). When provided with sucrose, glucose or fructose solutions, the parasitoid generated 3.6- to 3.7-fold more offspring than controls, and 60-75% of these progenies were produced during the first 5 days. When separately given fructose, sucrose or glucose, this wasp accumulated fructose and total sugar at the highest level, which means a high sugar levels might lead to prolonging longevity and more offspring in M. mediator. In addition, compared with organisms fed galactose or raffinose, M. mediator fed sucrose or fructose accumulated high glycogen levels. Furthermore, in M. mediator, the lipid content declined with the advancing age. Females showed the slowest lipid metabolic rates when fed with sucrose, glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose solutions versus when fed with raffinose and control. In addition, only sucrose had a significant effect on lipid levels in males nearing the end of life.
