Parazitoit Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)’da protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarları

Bu çalışmada, yeni ergin ve beslenmemiş dişi ve erkek Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) bireyleri ile bal ile beslenen 5 gün ve 10 gün yaşlı bireylerin protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarları karşılaştırılmıştır. Konak olarak Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) kullanılmıştır. Her iki eşeydeki ortalama protein miktarı yumurtadan çıkıştan, ergin hayatın onuncu gününe kadar arttı. Daha sonra, dişilerdeki protein miktarı başlangıçtaki seviyeye dönerken, erkeklerde aynı zaman süresince sabit kaldı. Balla beslenen dişilerin glikojen seviyeleri ergin hayatın ilk on günü süresince artarken, erkeklerde önemli bir artış olmadı. 1-gün-yaşlı erkek ve dişilerde fazla miktarda lipit belirlendi. Her iki eşeyde de ergin bireyler yaşlandıkça, lipit seviyesi azaldı. Lipit seviyesindeki azalma dişilerde, erkeklerden daha belirgin oldu.

Protein, lipid, and glycogen levels in the parasitoid Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

This study compared the protein, lipid, and glycogen reserves in recently emerged unfed female and male Bracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to those in 5- and 10-day-old wasps fed honey. Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were used as host species. The mean level of protein in both sexes increased significantly from emergence to day 5, and then returned to emergence levels on day 10 in females, but remained constant in males during the same period. In honey-fed females glycogen levels increased significantly during the first 10 days of life; however, there was no significant increase in males. High levels of lipid were observed in 1-day-old females and males, and levels declined with age in wasps that were fed; the decrease in lipid levels was more pronounced in females than in males.
