표고 재배용 참나무류 중에서 굴참나무는 수피가 두꺼워서 참나무의 내수피 (2차 사부조직)에 알을 낳는 털두꺼비하늘소(Moechotypa diphysis)의 산란을 어렵게 하였다. 굴참나무의 수피 두께는 평균 7.4 mm로서 다른 참나무 수종(신갈은 평균 1.1mm, 졸참은 1.3mm, 상수리는 2.0mm) 보다 3-7배나 두꺼웠다. 내수피의 두께는 상수리가 4.8mm로 가장 두껍고 다른 수종은 3.6-3.9mm 였다. 털두꺼비하늘소가 원목의 수피에 뚫은 산란공의 외부형태는 굴참나무에서 $8-12mm{\times}6-8mm$ 크기의 넓은 타원형이었으며, 다른 3수종에서는 $5-9mm{\times}1-5mm$로 좁은 타원형이었다. 털두꺼비하늘소는 굴참나무 조사목 중 9%의 원목(1.2m 길이)에 원목당 평균 3개의 산란공을 뚫었으며, 실제로 산란공에 알이 있는 비율은 15%였다. 반면에 이 하늘소가 선호하여 산란하는 수종은 신갈나무로서 조사된 원목 32개의 전부에 산란공을 뚫었으며, 원목당 산란공 수는 평균 20개, 그 산란공에 알이 있는 빈도는 56%였고, 이 중에서 35%가 6월초에 이미 부화하여 유충이 내수피를 가해하고 있었다. 털두꺼비하늘소가 산란하는데 선호하는 참나무 수종은 수피가 매끈하고 표피가 잘 벗겨지지 않는 얇은 것으로 생각된다.

The larval head capsule width, larval weight and length of mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari Hope were measured when the larvae were exuviated in artificial diet rearing. The larval head capsule width from the 1st to the 12th instar was ranged from 0.12 to 0.69 cm, and growth ratio of each instar was significantly high between the 1st and the 2nd instars. The fitness to Dyar's law for the larval head capsule width was 87.6%. When the logarithum of the larval head capsule width is plotted against the number of instars, the calculated regression line was LogY=0.12086+0.06998X and Dyar's constant was 1.18. The larval weight was increased with larval developmental stages, and the coefficient of variation of larval weight was apparently high. But the calculated regression line was LogY=-0.91592+0.25959X and Dyar's constant was 1.25. The growth ration of the larval length was clearly high between the 2nd and the 3rd instars, and that of larvae from the 4th instar was decreased. The calculated regression line was LogY=-0.16932+0.09841X and Dyar's constant was 1.25. In conclusion, our results suggested that the larvae growth of mulberry longicorn beetle appeared to be highly related in the larval head capsule width, larval weight and length.

In this study, bacterial communities within the guts of several longicorn beetles were investigated by a culture-dependent method. A total of 142 bacterial strains were isolated from nine species of longicorn beetle, including adults and larvae. A comparison of their partial 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that most of the bacteria constituting the gut communities can typically be found in soil, plants and the intestines of animals, and approximately 10% were proposed as unreported. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the bacterial species comprised 7 phyla, and approximately half were Gammaproteobacteria. Actinobacteria were the second most populous group (19%), followed by Firmicutes (13%) and Alphaproteobacteria (11%). Betaproteobacteria, Flavobacteria, and Acidobacteria were minor constituents. The taxonomic compositions of the isolates were variable according to the species of longicorn beetle. Particularly, an abundance of Actinobacteria existed in Moechotypa diphysis and Mesosa hirsute, which eat broadleaf trees; however, no Actinobacteria were isolated from Corymbia rubra and Monochamus alternatus, which are needle-leaf eaters. Considerable proportions of xylanase and pectinase producing bacteria in the guts of the longicorn beetles implied that the bacteria may play an important role in the digestion of woody diets. Actinobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria were the dominant xylanase producers in the guts of the beetles.

To assess effects of cold treatment on pupation and emergence of the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari, the larvae, which ceased feeding, were exposed to three different temperature regimes (2.5, 5 and 7.5$^{\circ}C$) and preservation periods (50, 80, and l10 days). The results indicated that pupation and emergence rates of A. germari were highest at $7.5^{\circ}C$ for 110 days, 40.7% and 37.0%, respectively, demonstrating that the effect of cold treatment on metamorphosis was approximately 3 to 4 fold stronger than that of nontreatment.

A chymotrpsin gene homologue was cloned from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari. The A. germari chymotrypsin cDNA contains an ORF of 950 nucleotides capable of encoding a 283 amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 29151 Da and pI of 9.38. The A. germari chymotrypsin has conserved six cysteine residues and active triad formed by His, Asp and Ser. The deduced amino acid sequence of the A. germari chymotrypsin cDNA was closest in structure to the Anthonomus grandis chymotrypsin. Northern blot analysis revealed that A. germari chymotrypsin showed the midgut-specific expression.

To determine effects of temperatures and photoperiods on larval development of the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari, the larvae were reared at various rearing temperatures and under the various photoperiods on an artificial diet. The larval period of A. germari was extended as long as the temperature was lowered. Also the larval development in terms of length and weight of larvae was increased. However, survival rate during larval stage significantly decreased at 15$^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ than at $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. The results indicated that the favorable temperature for artificial diet rearing of A. germari fell at least above $25^{\circ}C$ constantly. In photoperiod conditions, survival rate and larval development for A. germari were obviously most effective under a photoperiod of 14L:10B. As a result in artificial diet rearing of a. germari at $25^{\circ}C$ and under a photoperiod of 14L:10D was mostly favorable in terms of larval development and period.

Here we report the molecular cloning of a LIM protein cDNA of the CRP (cysteine-rich protein) family from the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona, geramri. The A. germari LIM protein cDNA contains an open reading frame of 276 bp encoding 92 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of approximately 10 kDa. The A. germari LIM protein contains the cysteine-rich consensus sequence of LIM domain and the glycine-rich consensus sequence observed in cysteine-rich protein family 1 (CRP1). The potential nuclear targeting signal is retained. The deduced amino acid sequence of the A. germari LIM protein cDNA showed 81 % identity to both Bombyx mori muscle LIM protein (Mlp) and Drosophila melanogaster Mlp60A and 77% to Epiblema scudderiana Mlp. Northern blot analysis showed that A. germari LIM protein is highly expressed in epidermis and muscle, and less strongly in midgut, but not in the fat body.

A cDNA encoding a putative member of cathepsin B of the thiol pretense superfamily was cloned from a cDNA library of the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari. Sequence analysis of the cDNA encoding the cathepsin B of A. germari (AgCatB) revealed that the 972 bp cDNA has an open reading frame of 324 amino acid residues. The deduced protein sequence of the AgCatB showed high homology with cathepsin B of the insects, Bombyx mori (47.3% amino acid identity), Helicoverpa armigera (46.6%) and Sarcophaga peregrina (45.6%), and the lowest homology with Aedes aegypti (33.2%). The AgCatB contains six disulfate bonds typical for cysteine pretenses. The three amino acid positions Cys-109, His-267, and Asn-287 which are conserved, active sites characteristic for cathepsin B, were also found. Phylogenetic analysis further confirmed that the AgCatB has a close relationship with that of B. mori, H. armigera and S. peregrina.
