벼룩잎벌레(Phyllotreta striolata)와 무잎벌(Athalia rosae ruficornis)는 제주지역 무에서 돌발적으로 발생하여 피해를 주는 해충이다. 본 연 구는 벼룩잎벌레와 무잎벌 성충의 트랩 색(황색과 청색)과 벼룩잎벌레 집합페로몬(+)-(6R,7S)-himachala-9,11-diene과 기주식물 휘발성 물질 인 allyl isothiocyanate의 혼합물을 이용 두 해충의 발생을 간편하게 예찰하는 방법을 개발하기 위하여 수행하였다. 벼룩잎벌레는 트랩 색에 관 계없이 집합페로몬이 부착된 점착트랩에 더 많은 성충이 유인되었으며, 무잎벌은 황색점착트랩이 청색트랩보다 더 많이 유인되었고 벼룩잎벌레 집합페로몬은 유인량에 관계가 없었다. 따라서 벼룩잎벌레 집합페로몬을 부착한 황색점착트랩을 이용하면 벼룩잎벌레와 무잎벌 성충 발생을 효 율적으로 예찰할 수 있었다. 점착트랩의 높이는 기주식물에 가까울수록 두 해충의 유인수가 많아 기주식물 상단 10 cm 높이로 설치하는 것이 좋 을 것으로 판단되었다. 벼룩잎벌레와 무잎벌의 연간 발생피크는 각각 3회와 5회정도 나타났으며, 두 해충의 첫 주발생시기는 벼룩잎벌레는 3월 중하순, 무잎벌은 4월 중하순이었다. 벼룩잎벌레와 무잎벌 성충의 연간 발생특성을 이용하면 두 해충의 무에서의 피해를 최소화하는데 중요한 정 보로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The striped fleas beetle (SFB), Phyllotreta striolata is a notorious and widely distributed pest in the world including Korea. We surveyed SFB insecticide resistance in Pyeongchang and Hoengseng population. Leaf dipping bioassay with recommended concentration of insecticides was performed using SFB adults. Two populations showed high level of resistance in various insecticides particularly neonicotinoids. Nicotinic acetylcholinesterase receptor (nAChR) is well known target site in neonicotinoid. Therefore, we tried to identify the nAChR from the SFB. Primary, partial contig sequence obtained by RNAseq from Hoengseng population and additional gap fillings were conducted. Total 12 nAChR subunits (10 alpha subunits and 2 beta subunits) were identified and phylogenetic relationships were predicted. Earlier studies reported that point mutations contribute to develop the imidacloprid resistance in aphids and brown planthopper, however we did not find it. Further studies relative to neonicotinoid insecticide resistance mechanism are demanded.

A new gregarine species (Eugregarinida: Gregarinidae) was previously reported from daikon leaf beetle, Phaedon brassicae at Daegwallyeong in Korea. Here, we found another novel gregarine species from the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). This paper describes the morphological and molecular-biological characteristics of Gregarine species associated to P. brassicae and P. striolata. The size and body shape at mature trophozoite stage were the main diagnostic characteristics of those species. Gregarines from P. brassicae were bigger size (100um) with square shaped body while Gregarines from P. striolata were slightly smaller size (80um) with egg shaped body. Based on the partial 18S rDNA sequence, gregarine species from P. striolata was grouped in eugregarine and also this new gregarine showed 85% homology that of the reported Gregarina sp. from P. brassicae. However, gut dissection result showed that each species had own gregarine parasite species association. These results were identical in local populations from three surveyed locations. There was positive relationship between infection rates and elevation for gregarine related to P. striolata. Therefore, we suggested that the gregarines and their coleopteran hosts have species-specific interaction via co-evolution.

A new gregarine parasite (Apicomplexa: Protozoa) was observed in the population of the striped cabbage flea-beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Hoengseong-gun. Gregarines are well known species-specific parasites of various Arthropoda. Based on 954bp of 18S rDNA sequence, this gregarine species was grouped in eugregarine and also this new gregarine showed 85% homology that of the reported Gregarina sp. from daikon leaf beetle, Phaedon brassicae (FJ481523). These two coleopteran hosts were generally found coexist in highland cabbage fields. However, after gut dissection (n>50), each species confirmed has their own gregarine parasite species. These results were identical in surveyed three local populations (Pyeongchang-gun, Hoengseong-gun and Inje-gun). Therefore, we suggested that the gregarines and their coleopteran hosts has species specific interaction via co-evolution.

시설 배추 벼룩잎벌레의 발생밀도와 피해량을 상호 분석하고 요방제 수준 설정을 통해 신속하고 합리적인 방제체계를 확립하고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 시설 봄배추 생육초기 벼룩잎벌레 성충 접종밀도(X)와 수량감소율(Y) 관계는 Y = 1.3475X + 2.135, R2 = 0.8699이었다. 시설봄배추 생육중기 벼룩잎벌레 성충 접종밀도(X)와 수량감소율(Y) 관계는 Y = 0.703X - 1.78, R2 = 0.966이었다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 시설배추 봄 재배시 접종한 성충밀도와 배추 피해지수간의 상관성을 바탕으로, 수량 감소율(gain threshold, 수익역치) 5%로 전제한 벼룩잎벌레 요방제 밀도는 배추 생육초기 발생시 10주당 2.1 마리, 생육중기 발생시 10주당 9.6마리로 분석되었다.
