Abstract:

[Objectives]  In China, the Chinese bayberry is an important host-plant of the spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, and bayberry crops sustain severe damage from this fly. Orientation behavior of SWD to the fruits and volatiles of Chinese bayberry was be tested in a laboratory to clarify the role of volatiles from Chinese bayberry fruits at different stages of ripeness on host location by SWD. [Methods]  Volatiles of Chinese bayberry fruits at different stages of ripeness were collected using the dynamic head space method, and the olfactory responses of D. suzukii to Chinese bayberry fruits and their volatiles were tested in a Y-tube olfactometer under laboratory conditions. [Results]  The pH value and sugar content of bayberries increased, and the acid value decreased, with ripening. Ripe bayberries significantly attracted both mated and virgin females (P < 0.01), whereas half-ripe and unripe bayberries significantly attracted virgin (P < 0.01) and mated females (P < 0.05), respectively. Bayberries can be ranked in descending order of attractiveness to SWD as follows: ripe > half-ripe > unripe. The volatiles from ripe bayberries significantly attracted both virgin and mated females (P < 0.05), whereas those from half- ripe and unripe bayberries significantly attracted virgin females (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the attractiveness of these different bayberry volatiles to mated females (P > 0.05). [Conclusion]  The ripeness of Chinese bayberries, and the volatiles produced by them at different stages of ripeness, affects their attractiveness to mated and virgin D. suzukii females.
