Abstract:In this study, the tolerance limit of female adults of Tetranychus truncatus Ehara to high temperature and the physiological reaction of biochemical substances in the body to high temperature were studied by high temperature exposure test, which provided theoretical support for formulating accurate prevention and control strategies for T. truncatus. T. truncatus was stressed by different temperature gradients (38℃, 42℃, 46℃ and 50℃) and time gradients (2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h), and the mortality of T. truncatus and the changes of trehalose, glycogen, glucose, protein, triglyceride, propylene glycol, sorbitol and malondialdehyde under short-term high temperature stress were determined. The results showed that the mortality of T. truncatus was 98.89% after being treated at 50℃ for 24 hours. When the exposure time was 12 hours, the semi-lethal temperature (LT50) was 47.78℃, and the semi-lethal time (Lt50) decreased with the increase of temperature. Lt50 was 67.71 hours at 42°C, 17.89 hours at 46°C, and only 6.71 hours at 50°C. The results of the microanalysis kit showed that the contents of trehalose, protein and triglyceride in T. truncatus significantly increased with the increase of temperature and stress time. The content of glycogen first decreased and then increased at 38℃. Under the stress of 2 h, with the increase of temperature, the glucose content first increased and then decreased. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) increased significantly at 38℃ and 42℃, and decreased significantly at 50℃ for 6 hours. The content of sorbitol increased significantly at 38℃ and 42℃, but there was no significant change at 46℃ and 50℃ compared with the control. The above results showed that T. truncatus can enhance its heat resistance by adjusting the changes of biochemical substances in vivo under high temperature stress, which provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of T. truncatus under the background of global warming.
