Abstract

Bracon hebetor (Say, 1836) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a gregarious larval ectoparasitoid of several species of pyralids that attack stored products. In this study the protein, lipid and glycogen composition in two host species, Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), of B. hebetor were examined. The effects of these two host species on protein, lipid and glycogen levels of newly emerged female and male parasitoids were also investigated. The mean levels of protein, lipid and glycogen per host was positively correlated with host size. G. mellonella had much more protein, lipid and glycogen than E. kuehniella. Protein, lipid and glycogen levels in female parasitoids significantly varied with host species. Protein and lipid levels were higher in female parasitoids emerging from G. mellonella than those from E. kuehniella. By contrast, females, reared on E. kuehniella, had much more glycogen level than those reared on G. mellonella. No significant difference was detected in protein and glycogen levels of males emerging from two host species. However, males that were reared on G. mellonella larvae had higher lipid level than those reared on E. kuehniella.

Özet

racon hebetor (Say, 1836) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), depo ürünlerine zarar veren bazı pyralid türlerin gregar, larva ektoparazitoitidir. Burada, B. hebetor’un iki konukçusundaki [Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) ve Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)], protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, bu iki konukçu türünün yeni ergin dişi ve erkek parazitoitteki protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarlarına etkisi de araştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, her konukçudaki ortalama protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarının konukçu büyüklüğü ile pozitif ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Büyük konukçu, G. mellonella, daha küçük konukçu olan E. kuehniella’dan daha fazla miktarda protein, lipit ve glikojene sahiptir. Dişi parazitoitteki protein, lipit ve glikojen miktarları konukçu türüne göre önemli derecede değişmiştir. G. mellonella’dan elde edilen dişi parazitoitlerdeki protein ve lipit seviyeleri, E. kuehniella’dan elde edilenlere göre daha fazladır. Bunun aksine, E. kuehniella’dan elde edilen dişiler, G. mellonella’dan elde edilenlerden çok daha fazla glikojene sahiptir. İki konukçudan elde edilen erkeklerin protein ve glikojen miktarlarında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir farklılık yoktur. Bununla birlikte, G. mellonella larvalarında gelişen erkekler, E. kuehniella larvalarında gelişenlerden daha fazla lipit miktarına sahiptir.
