İnak E, De Rouck S, Demirci B, Dermauw W, Geibel S, Van Leeuwen T. A novel target-site mutation (H146Q) outside the ubiquinone binding site of succinate dehydrogenase confers high levels of resistance to cyflumetofen and pyflubumide in Tetranychus urticae. INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 170:104127. [PMID: 38657708 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2024.104127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Mitochondrial electron transfer inhibitors at complex II (METI-II), also referred to as succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI), represent a recently developed class of acaricides encompassing cyflumetofen, cyenopyrafen, pyflubumide and cyetpyrafen. Despite their novelty, resistance has already developed in the target pest, Tetranychus urticae. In this study a new mutation, H146Q in a highly conserved region of subunit B of complex II, was identified in a T. urticae population resistant to all METI-IIs. In contrast to previously described mutations, H146Q is located outside the ubiquinone binding site of complex II. Marker-assisted backcrossing of this mutation in a susceptible genetic background validated its association with resistance to cyflumetofen and pyflubumide, but not cyenopyrafen or cyetpyrafen. Biochemical assays and the construction of inhibition curves with isolated mitochondria corroborated this selectivity. In addition, phenotypic effects of H146Q, together with the previously described H258L, were further examined via CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. Although both mutations were successfully introduced into a susceptible T. urticae population, the H146Q gene editing event was only recovered in individuals already harboring the I260V mutation, known to confer resistance towards cyflumetofen. The combination of H146Q + I260V conferred high resistance levels to all METI-II acaricides with LC50 values over 5000 mg a.i./L for cyflumetofen and pyflubumide. Similarly, the introduction of H258L via gene editing resulted in high resistance levels to all tested acaricides, with extreme LC50 values (>5000 mg a.i./L) for cyenopyrafen and cyetpyrafen, but lower resistance levels for pyflubumide and cyflumetofen. Together, these findings indicate that different mutations result in a different cross-resistance spectrum, probably also reflecting subtle differences in the binding mode of complex II acaricides.

A systemic study of cyenopyrafen in strawberry cultivation system: Efficacy, residue behavior, and impact on honeybees (Apis mellifera L.). ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 346:123601. [PMID: 38373624 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
The pesticide application method is one of the important factors affecting its effectiveness and residues, and the risk of pesticides to non-target organisms. To elucidate the effect of application methods on the efficacy and residue of cyenopyrafen, and the toxic effects on pollinators honeybees in strawberry cultivation, the efficacy and residual behavior of cyenopyrafen were investigated using foliar spray and backward leaf spray in field trials. The results showed that the initial deposition of cyenopyrafen using backward leaf spray on target leaves reached 5.06-9.81 mg/kg at the dose of 67.5-101.25 g a.i./ha, which was higher than that using foliar spray (2.62-3.71 mg/kg). The half-lives of cyenopyrafen in leaves for foliar and backward leaf spray was 2.3-3.3 and 5.3-5.9 d, respectively. The residues (10 d) of cyenopyrafen in leaves after backward leaf spray was 1.41-3.02 mg/kg, which was higher than that after foliar spraying (0.25-0.37 mg/kg). It is the main reason for the better efficacy after backward leaf spray. However, the residues (10 d) in strawberry after backward leaf spray and foliar spray was 0.04-0.10 and < 0.01 mg/kg, which were well below the established maximum residue levels of cyenopyrafen in Japan and South Korea for food safety. To further investigate the effects of cyenopyrafen residues after backward leaf spray application on pollinator honeybees, sublethal effects of cyenopyrafen on honeybees were studied. The results indicated a significant inhibition in the detoxification metabolic enzymes of honeybees under continuous exposure of cyenopyrafen (0.54 and 5.4 mg/L) over 8 d. The cyenopyrafen exposure also alters the composition of honeybee gut microbiota, such as increasing the relative abundance of Rhizobiales and decreasing the relative abundance of Acetobacterales. The comprehensive data on cyenopyrafen provide basic theoretical for environmental and ecological risk assessment, while backward leaf spray proved to be effective and safe for strawberry cultivation.

The complex II resistance mutation H258Y in succinate dehydrogenase subunit B causes fitness penalties associated with mitochondrial respiratory deficiency. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:4403-4413. [PMID: 37394630 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The acaricides cyflumetofen, cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide inhibit the mitochondrial electron transport chain at complex II [succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex]. A target site mutation H258Y was recently discovered in a resistant strain of the spider mite pest Tetranychus urticae. H258Y causes strong cross-resistance between cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide, but not cyflumetofen. In fungal pests, fitness costs associated with substitutions at the corresponding H258 position that confer resistance to fungicidal SDH inhibitors have not been uncovered. Here, we used H258 and Y258 near-isogenic lines of T. urticae to quantify potential pleiotropic fitness effects on mite physiology. RESULTS The H258Y mutation was not associated with consistent significant changes of single generation life history traits and fertility life table parameters. In contrast, proportional Sanger sequencing and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction showed that the frequency of the resistant Y258 allele decreased when replicated 50:50 Y258:H258 experimentally evolving populations were maintained in an acaricide-free environment for approximately 12 generations. Using in vitro assays with mitochondrial extracts from resistant (Y258) and susceptible (H258) lines, we identified a significantly reduced SDH activity (48% lower activity) and a slightly enhanced combined complex I and III activity (18% higher activity) in the Y258 lines. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the H258Y mutation is associated with a high fitness cost in the spider mite T. urticae. Importantly, while it is the most common approach, it is clear that only comparing life history traits and life table fecundity does not allow to reliably estimate fitness costs of target site mutations in natural pest populations. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

The host plant strongly modulates acaricide resistance levels to mitochondrial complex II inhibitors in a multi-resistant field population of Tetranychus urticae. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 196:105591.

Abstract
The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is a polyphagous pest with an extraordinary ability to develop acaricide resistance. Here, we characterize the resistance mechanisms in a T. urticae population (VR-BE) collected from a Belgian tomato greenhouse, where the grower was unsuccessful in chemically controlling the mite population resulting in crop loss. Upon arrival in the laboratory, the VR-BE population was established both on bean and tomato plants as hosts. Toxicity bioassays on both populations confirmed that the population was highly multi-resistant, recording resistance to 12 out of 13 compounds tested from various mode of action groups. DNA sequencing revealed the presence of multiple target-site resistance mutations, but these could not explain resistance to all compounds. In addition, striking differences in toxicity for six acaricides were observed between the populations on bean and tomato. The highest difference was recorded for the complex II inhibitors cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen, which were 4.4 and 3.3-fold less toxic for VR-BE mites on tomato versus bean. PBO synergism bioassays suggested increased P450 based detoxification contribute to the host-dependent toxicity. Given the involvement of increased detoxification, we subsequently determined genome-wide gene expression levels of VR-BE on both hosts, in comparison to a reference susceptible population, revealing overexpression of a large set of detoxification genes in VR-BE on both hosts compared to the reference. In addition, a number of mainly detoxification genes with higher expression in VR-BE on tomato compared to bean was identified, including several cytochrome P450s. Together, our work suggests that multi-resistant field populations can accumulate a striking number of target-site resistance mutations. We also show that the host plant can have a profound effect on the P450-associated resistance levels to cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen.

Increased metabolism in combination with the novel cytochrome b target-site mutation L258F confers cross-resistance between the Q o inhibitors acequinocyl and bifenazate in Tetranychus urticae. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 192:105411. [PMID: 37105638 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Acequinocyl and bifenazate are potent acaricides acting at the Qo site of complex III of the electron transport chain, but frequent applications of these acaricides have led to the development of resistance in spider mites. Target-site resistance caused by mutations in the conserved cd1- and ef-helices of the Qo pocket of cytochrome b has been elucidated as the main resistance mechanism. We therefore monitored Qo pocket mutations in European field populations of Tetranychus urticae and uncovered a new mutation, L258F. The role of this mutation was validated by revealing patterns of maternal inheritance and by the independently replicated introgression in an unrelated susceptible genetic background. However, the parental strain exhibited higher resistance levels than conferred by the mutation alone in isogenic lines, especially for acequinocyl, implying the involvement of strong additional resistance mechanisms. This was confirmed by revealing a polygenic inheritance pattern with classical genetic crosses and via synergism experiments. Therefore, a genome-wide expression analysis was conducted that identified a number of highly overexpressed detoxification genes, including many P450s. Functional expression revealed that the P450 CYP392A11 can metabolize bifenazate by hydroxylation of the ring structure. In conclusion, the novel cytochrome b target-site mutation L258F was uncovered in a recently collected field strain and its role in acequinocyl and bifenazate resistance was validated. However, the high level of resistance in this strain is most likely caused by a combination of target-site resistance and P450-based increased detoxification, potentially acting in synergism.

Abstract
Acaricides that act as inhibitors of the mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDHIs) provide excellent control of phytophagous mites but display limited toxicity to predatory mites and other beneficial organisms. However, the molecular mechanism of selectivity is not fully understood. Here, we first confirm that SDHI acaricides are over 10,000-fold more toxic to spider mites than predatory mites. Next, we show that differential penetration, pro-acaricide activation, or metabolism are most likely not the main reason for this selectivity. In contrast, the inhibition of AB-1 on the SDH target is approximately 200-fold more potent in spider mites compared to predatory mites, revealing strong target-site selectivity. Strikingly, a key motif associated with differential binding was identified and validated by gene editing in Drosophila. Our findings contribute to understanding the selectivity of SDHIs, which can be used for the rational design of selective acaricides in support of an integrated pest management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Afoxolaner is a novel representative of the isoxazolines, a class of ectoparasiticides which has been commercialized for the control of tick and flea infestations in dogs. In this study, the biological efficacy of afoxolaner against the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae was evaluated. Furthermore, as isoxazolines are known inhibitors of γ-aminobutyric acid-gated chloride channels (GABACls), the molecular mode of action of afoxolaner on T. urticae GABACls (TuRdls) was studied using functional expression in Xenopus oocytes followed by two-electrode voltage-clamp (TEVC) electrophysiology, and results were compared with inhibition by fluralaner, fipronil and endosulfan. To examine the influence of known GABACl resistance mutations, H301A, I305T and A350T substitutions in TuRdl1 and a S301A substitution in TuRdl2 were introduced. RESULTS Bioasassays revealed excellent efficacy of afoxolaner against all developmental stages and no cross-resistance was found in a panel of strains resistant to most currently used acaricides. Laboratory selection over a period of 3 years did not result in resistance. TEVC revealed clear antagonistic activity of afoxolaner and fluralaner for all homomeric TuRdl1/2/3 channels. The introduction of single, double or triple mutations to TuRdl1 and TuRdl2 did not lower channel sensitivity. By contrast, both endosulfan and fipronil had minimal antagonistic activities against TuRdl1/2/3, and channels carrying single mutations, whereas the sensitivity of double and triple TuRdl1 mutants was significantly increased. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that afoxolaner is a potent antagonist of GABACls of T. urticae and has a powerful mode of action to control spider mites. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Metabolic Resistance to Cyflumetofen and Bifenthrin in Tetranychus urticae Koch on Cowpea. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232416220. [PMID: 36555861 PMCID: PMC9787285 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232416220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Tetranychus urticae Koch (T. urticae) is one of the most tremendous herbivores due to its polyphagous characteristics, and is resistant to most acaricides. In this study, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were carried out to analyze the mechanisms of T. urticae metabolic resistance to cyflumetofen and bifenthrin on cowpea. The enzyme activity of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) and carboxylesterases (CarEs) in the cyflumetofen-resistant (R_cfm) strain significantly decreased, while that of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) significantly increased. Meanwhile, the activities of glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs), CarEs and P450s in the bifenthrin-resistant (R_bft) strain were significantly higher than those in the susceptible strain (Lab_SS). According to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses, in the R_cfm mite strain, two carboxyl/cholinesterase (CCE) genes and two P450 genes were upregulated and one gene was downregulated, namely CYP392E7; in the R_bft mite strain, eleven CCE, nine UGT, two P450, four GST and three ABC genes were upregulated, while four CCE and three P450 genes were downregulated. Additionally, 94 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were common to the two resistant groups. Specifically, TuCCE46 and TuCCE70 were upregulated in both resistant groups. Furthermore, the qRT-PCR validation data were consistent with those from the transcriptome sequencing analysis. Specifically, TuCCE46 (3.37-fold) was significantly upregulated in the R_cfm strain, while in the R_bft strain, TeturUGT22 (5.29-fold), teturUGT58p (1.74-fold), CYP392A11 (2.89-fold) and TuGSTd15 (5.12-fold) were significantly upregulated and TuCCE01 (0.13-fold) and CYP392A2p (0.07-fold) were significantly downregulated. Our study indicates that TuCCE46 might play the most important role in resistance to cyflumetofen, and TuCCE01, teturUGT58p, teturUGT22, CYP392A11, TuGSTd15, TuGSTm09 and TuABCG-13 were prominent in the resistance to bifenthrin. These findings provide further insight into the critical genes involved in the metabolic resistance of T. urticae to cyflumetofen and bifenthrin.

The dynamic changes of genes revealed that persistently overexpressed genes drive the evolution of cyflumetofen resistance in Tetranychus cinnabarinus. INSECT SCIENCE 2022. [PMID: 36380571 DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 11/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Changes in gene expression are associated with the evolution of pesticide resistance in arthropods. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed in 3 different resistance levels (low, L; medium, M; and high, H) of cyflumetofen-resistant strain (YN-CyR). A total of 1 685 genes, including 97 detoxification enzyme genes, were upregulated in all 3 stages, of which 192 genes, including 11 detoxification enzyme genes, showed a continuous increase in expression level with resistance development (L to H). RNA interference experiments showed that overexpression of 7 genes (CYP392A1, TcGSTd05, CCE06, CYP389A1, TcGSTz01, CCE59, and CYP389C2) is involved in the development of cyflumetofen resistance in Tetranychus cinnabarinus. The recombinant CYP392A1 can effectively metabolize cyflumetofen, while CCE06 can bind and sequester cyflumetofen in vitro. We compared 2 methods for rapid screening of resistance molecular markers, including short-term induction and 1-time high-dose selection. Two detoxification enzyme genes were upregulated in the field susceptible strain (YN-S) by induction with 20% lethal concentration (LC20 ) of cyflumetofen. However, 16 detoxification enzyme genes were upregulated by 1-time selection with LC80 of cyflumetofen. Interestingly, the 16 genes were overexpressed in all 3 resistance stages. These results indicated that 1 685 genes that were upregulated at the L stage constituted the basis of cyflumetofen resistance, of which 192 genes in which upregulation continued to increase were the main driving force for the development of resistance. Moreover, the 1-time high-dose selection is an efficient way to rapidly obtain the resistance-related genes that can aid in the development of resistance markers and resistance management in mites.

Long-term survey and characterization of cyflumetofen resistance in Tetranychus urticae populations from Turkey. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2022; 188:105235.

Abstract
The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is the most economically important mite pest in agricultural areas and chemical acaricides are widely used to control T. urticae populations. Cyflumetofen is a recently introduced acaricide that inhibits the mitochondrial electron transport chain at complex II (succinate dehydrogenase, SDH), which represents the most recently developed mode of action for mite control worldwide. In the present study, started upon the launch of cyflumetofen in Turkey, a five-year survey was performed to monitor cyflumetofen susceptibility in 28 T. urticae populations collected from agricultural fields across the country. The first resistance case that might cause control failure in practical field conditions was uncovered in 2019, three years after the registration of cyflumetofen. In addition, an extremely resistant population (1722-fold resistance) was also detected towards the end of 2019. Cyflumetofen resistance did not decrease in the laboratory after relaxation of selection pressure for over one year in field-collected populations, suggesting the absence of a fitness cost associated with resistance in these populations. Next to phenotypic resistance, metabolic and physiological mechanisms underlying the decreased susceptibility were also investigated. Synergism assays showed the involvement of P450 monooxygenases in cyflumetofen resistance. Downregulation of carboxylesterases as resistance mechanism, is underpinned by the fact that pre-treatment with esterase inhibitor DEF decreased cyflumetofen toxicity in field-collected strains. Furthermore, a novel H258L substitution in the subunit B of complex II was uncovered in a field population. In silico modeling of the new mutation suggested that the mutation might indeed influence toxicity to complex II inhibitors cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide, but most likely not cyflumetofen. However, further studies are needed to uncover the exact role of this mutation in resistance to this new class of complex II inhibitors.

Abstract
As new agrochemicals are continuously introduced into agricultural systems, it is essential to investigate their uptake and metabolism by plants to better evaluate their fate and accumulation in crops and the subsequent risks to human exposure. In this study, the uptake and elimination kinetics and transformation of a novel insecticide, cyetpyrafen, in two model crops (lettuce and rice) were first evaluated by hydroponic experiments. Cyetpyrafen was rapidly taken up by plant roots and reached a steady state within 24 h, and it was preferentially accumulated in root parts with root concentration factors up to 2670 mL/g. An uptake mechanism study suggested that root uptake of cyetpyrafen was likely to be dominated by passive diffusion and was difficult to transport via xylem and phloem. Ten phase I and three phase II metabolites of cyetpyrafen were tentatively identified in the hydroponic-plant system through a nontarget screening strategy. The structures of two main metabolites (M-309 and M-391) were confirmed by synthesized standards. The metabolic pathways were proposed including hydroxylation, hydrolysis, dehydrogenation, dehydration and conjugation, which were assumed to be regulated by cytochrome P450, carboxylesterase, glycosyltransferase, glutathione S-transferases and peroxidase. Cyetpyrafen and its main metabolites (M-409, M-309 and M-391) were estimated to be harmful/toxic toward nontarget organisms by theoretical calculation. The high bioaccumulation and extensive transformation of cyetpyrafen highlighted the necessity for systematically assessing the crop uptake and metabolism of new agrochemicals.

A H258Y mutation in subunit B of the succinate dehydrogenase complex of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae confers resistance to cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide, but likely reinforces cyflumetofen binding and toxicity. INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2022; 144:103761. [PMID: 35341907 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2022.103761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitors such as cyflumetofen, cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide, are selective acaricides that control plant-feeding spider mite pests. Resistance development to SDH inhibitors has been investigated in a limited number of populations of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae and is associated with cytochrome P450 based detoxification and target-site mutations such as I260 T/V in subunit B and S56L in subunit C of SDH. Here, we report the discovery of a H258Y substitution in subunit B of SDH in a highly pyflubumide resistant population of T. urticae. As this highly conserved residue corresponds to one of the ubiquinone binding residues in fungi and bacteria, we hypothesized that H258Y could have a strong impact on SDH inhibitors toxicity. Marker assisted introgression and toxicity bioassays revealed that H258Y caused high cross resistance between cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide, but increased cyflumetofen toxicity. Resistance associated with H258Y was determined as dominant for cyenopyrafen, but recessive for pyflubumide. In vitro SDH assays with extracted H258 mitochondria showed that cyenopyrafen and the active metabolites of pyflubumide and cyflumetofen, interacted strongly with complex II. However, a clear shift in IC50s was observed for cyenopyrafen and the metabolite of pyflubumide when Y258 mitochondria were investigated. In contrast, the mutation slightly increased affinity of the cyflumetofen metabolite, likely explaining its increased toxicity for the mite lines carrying the substitution. Homology modeling and ligand docking further revealed that, although the three acaricides share a common binding motif in the Q-site of SDH, H258Y eliminated an important hydrogen bond required for cyenopyrafen and pyflubumide binding. In addition, the hydrogen bond between cyenopyrafen and Y117 in subunit D was also lost upon mutation. In contrast, cyflumetofen affinity was enhanced due to an additional hydrogen bond to W215 and hydrophobic interactions with the introduced Y258 in subunit B. Altogether, our findings not only highlight the importance of the highly conserved histidine residue in the binding of SDH inhibitors, but also reveal that a resistance mutation can provide both positive and negative cross-resistance within the same acaricide mode of action group.

Selectivity and molecular stress responses to classical and botanical acaricides in the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae). PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:881-895. [PMID: 34862726 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/04/2021] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acaricide application remains an integral component of integrated pest management (IPM) for the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Species and strains of phytoseiid predatory mites vary significantly in their response to acaricides. For the success of IPM, it is imperative to identify the determinants of selectivity and molecular stress responses of acaricides in predatory mites. RESULTS The three classical acaricides bifenazate, cyflumetofen, and fenbutatin oxide did not affect the survival and fecundity of Phytoseiulus persimilis regardless of the route of exposure. Selectivity of the orange oil and terpenoid blend-based botanical acaricides was low via a combination of direct exposure, acaricide-laced diet, and residual exposure but improved when limiting exposure only to diet. To gain insights into the molecular stress responses, the transcriptome of P. persimilis was assembled. Subsequent gene expression analysis of predatory mites orally exposed to fenbutatin oxide and orange oil yielded only a limited xenobiotic stress response. In contrast, P. persimilis exhibited target-site resistance mutations, including I260M in SdhB, I1017M in CHS1, and kdr and super-kdr in VGSC. Extending the screen using available Phytoseiidae sequences uncovered I136T, S141F in cytb, G119S in AChE, and A2083V in ACC, well-known target-sites of acaricides. CONCLUSION Selectivity of the tested botanical acaricides to P. persimilis was low but could be enhanced by restricting exposure to a single route. Differential gene expression analysis did not show a robust induced stress response after sublethal exposure. In contrast, this study uncovered target-site mutations that may help to explain the physiological selectivity of several classical acaricides to phytoseiid predators.

Co-occurrence of subunit B and C mutations in respiratory complex II confers high resistance levels to pyflubumide and cyenopyrafen in the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyflubumide and cyenopyrafen are respiratory complex II (complex II) inhibitors. Previous quantitative trait locus analyses suggested associations of I260V and S56L in complex II subunit B (B-I260V) and subunit C (C-S56L) with pyflubumide and cyenopyrafen resistance, respectively, in Tetranychus urticae. However, although resistant strains had been selected separately by these acaricides, all strains were homozygous for both B-I260V and C-S56L. Hence, the effects of each mutation on resistance development remain unclear. RESULTS We established strains homozygous for B-I260V with C-S56 (B-I260V_I260V/C-S56_S56) and for C-S56L with B-I260 (B-I260_I260/C-S56L_S56L). High resistance levels (LC50 > 1000 mg L-1 ) to pyflubumide and cyenopyrafen was not conferred by B-I260V or C-S56L alone. Next, we prepared intermixed strains by crossing B-I260V_I260V/C-S56_S56 and B-I260_I260/C-S56L_S56L. Selection of the intermixed strains by either acaricide caused very high resistance levels (LC50 ≥ 10 000 mg L-1 ) to both acaricides and fixed both mutations. Allele-selected recoupling of the mutations without acaricide selection also conferred very high resistance levels to both acaricides in the intermixed strains. Unlike these, B-I260V or C-S56L alone conferred very high and high resistance levels to cyflumetofen, respectively. CONCLUSION We conclude that the effect of individual mutations characteristically varies among complex II inhibitors. Moreover, very high resistance levels to pyflubumide and cyenopyrafen is conferred by the co-occurrence of B-I260V and C-S56L mutations, which alone have limited effects on resistance level.

Abstract
The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch is a major agricultural pest worldwide and is known to rapidly develop resistance to pesticides. In the present study, we explored a field strain that was collected in 2000 and 2003 and has been exhibiting resistance to etoxazole and pyridaben over the last 16 years. The resistance ratios of the etoxazole- and pyridaben-resistant strains (ER and PR) to etoxazole or pyridaben were more than 5,000,000- and 4109.6-fold higher than that of the susceptible strain, respectively. All field-collected populations showed resistance to etoxazole and pyridaben. The ER and PR strains showed cross-resistance to several acaricides. Both I1017F and H92R point mutations were detected in 7 out of 8 field groups. Spirodiclofen and spiromesifen resulted in more than 77.5% mortality in the 8 field groups. In addition, the genotype frequency of the I1017F point mutation was 100.0% in the ER strain, and that of the H92R point mutation was 97.0% in the PR strain. All of the field populations were found to have a high frequency of I1017F. These results suggest that the observation of resistance patterns will help in designing a sustainable IPM program for T. urticae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch, is one of the most serious pests of agricultural crops. Broflanilide exhibits high lethality against various pests and has been marketed worldwide under the Vedira and Tenebenal brands in 2020. Nevertheless, little information has been reported about its effects on agricultural mites. RESULTS Broflanilide displayed higher toxicity to TSSM eggs (24 h LC50 , 1.015 mg L-1 ) and adult females (24 h LC50 , 2.062 mg L-1 ) than commercial acaricides, including cyflumetofen, bifenazate, and profenofos. In contrast, the adverse effects of broflanilide on the predatory mite, Typhlodromips swirskii Athias-Henriot, was lower than those of fenpyroximate and abamectin. In the sublethal effect study, while adult females were treated with broflanilide, the number of eggs and longevity were reduced in LC10 and LC30 treatments; when eggs were treated with broflanilide, the egg duration and deutonymph duration were prolonged in LC30 treatment. A significant decrease in the total life span and duration and fecundity of adult females was observed in LC10 and LC30 treatments. Furthermore, the number of eggs per adult female was significantly reduced from 103.48 ± 3.69 in the control group to 69.42 ± 2.22 and 48.33 ± 1.75 in LC10 and LC30 treatments, respectively. In the greenhouse bioassay, broflanilide 5% suspension concentrate (MCI-8007) showed excellent acaricidal activity to TSSM, with 99.22% corrected control, compared with the MCI-8007 untreated group. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that broflanilide has a high acaricidal activity to TSSM and significant inhibition to fecundity of adult female, and could be considered as a potential alternative for TSSM management. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Metabolic resistance is one of the main causes of acaricide resistance. Many previous studies focused on the function of specific genes in insecticides/acaricides resistance. However, during the development of resistance, the overall dynamic of expression levels of detoxification enzyme genes in mites is still unclear. Tetranychus cinnabarinus, a major agricultural pest, which is notorious for developing resistance to acaricides rapidly. In this study, a field susceptible strain (YS) was continuously selected for 16, 25 and 32 generations, and developed to low resistance (7.83-fold, L), medium resistance (17.23-fold, M) and high resistance (86.05-fold, H), respectively. Transcriptome sequencing was performed in YS, L, M and H strains. Overall, compared with YS strain, the number of differential expression genes increased slightly with the development of cyflumetofen-resistance. As for detoxification genes, the median of fold change of up-regulated P450、CCE and GST genes was higher than those of all up-regulated genes in three resistance level, but only the number and the median of fold change of up-regulated P450 genes was increased slightly with the development of resistance. In addition, synergism experiments also proved that P450 and GST genes were the major contributors to the metabolic resistance of cyflumetofen of T. cinnabarinus. These results showed that the resistance of T. cinnabarinus to cyflumetofen was related to many resistant genes, among which P450 genes could play crucial roles in cyflumefen resistance.

Identification and characterization of striking multiple-insecticide resistance in a Tetranychus urticae field population from Greece. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2021; 77:666-676. [PMID: 33051974 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Revised: 09/18/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tetranychus urticae is a notorious crop pest with a worldwide distribution that has developed resistance to a wide range of acaricides. Here, we investigated the resistance levels of a T. urticae population collected from an ornamental greenhouse in Peloponnese, Greece, and analyzed its resistance mechanisms at the molecular level. RESULTS Toxicological assays showed resistance against compounds with different modes of action, with resistance ratios of: 89-fold for abamectin; > 1000-fold for clofentezine; > 5000-fold for etoxazole; 27-fold for fenpyroximate and pyridaben; 20- and 36-fold for spirodiclofen and spirotetramat, respectively; and 116- and > 500-fold for cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen, respectively. Bioassays with synergists indicated the involvement of detoxification enzymes in resistance to abamectin, but not to cyflumetofen and spirodiclofen. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis showed significant over-expression of several genes encoding detoxification enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and UDP-glycosyltransferases, which have been previously associated with acaricide resistance. Known target-site resistance mutations were identified in acetyl-choline esterase, chitin synthase 1 and NDUFS7/psst, but putative novel resistance mutations were also discovered in targets such as glutamate-gated chloride channel subunit 3. Interestingly, target-site resistance mutations against pyrethroids or bifenazate were not identified, possibly indicating a recent reduced selection pressure in Greece, as well as a possible opportunity to rotate these chemistries. CONCLUSION We identified and characterized a striking case of multiple acaricide resistance in a field population of T. urticae. Exceptionally strong resistance phenotypes, with accumulation of multiple resistance mutations and over-expression of P450s and other detoxification genes in the same field population are reported.

Abstract
The European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), is one of the most important apple orchard pests worldwide. Fenpyroximate, a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor of complex I (METI-I), is a commonly used acaricide to control this pest. In this study, we determined fenpyroximate resistance levels for 11 P. ulmi populations from Iran and a spirodiclofen-resistant strain from Germany (PSR-TK). The LC50 values ranged between 121.8 and 5713.9 mg a.i. L-1 and the highest resistance ratio (RR) was 47-fold for the Padena population. PBO, TPP and DEM synergist ratios (SRs) were the highest for the PSR-TK (SR = 6.7), Shahin Dej (SR = 6.1) and Semirom3 (SR = 3.6) populations, respectively. In vitro enzyme activity measurements also showed that there was a higher glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) activity in the PSR-TK and Shahin Dej population compared to the most susceptible populations, whereas the esterase and P450 monooxygenase activity were not significantly higher in the resistant populations. Last, we screened all populations for the presence of two mutations previously associated with METI-I resistance in spider mites but none of these mutations could be detected. To conclude, moderate to high levels of fenpyroximate resistance were observed in P. ulmi populations from Iran, with increased detoxification most likely underlying fenpyroximate resistance.

Abstract
The acaricides cyflumetofen, cyenopyrafen, and pyflubumide act as inhibitors of the mitochondrial electron transport system at complex II (succinate dehydrogenase; SDH), a new mode of action in arthropods. The development and mechanisms of low-level resistance against cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen have been previously reported in Tetranychus urticae. In the present study, we investigated high levels of resistance against three SDH inhibitors in T. urticae field populations and clarify the genetic basis of resistance using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis. First, we constructed a microsatellite linkage map comprising 64 markers assembled into three linkage groups (LGs) with total length of 683.8 cM and average marker spacing of 11.03 cM. We then used the linkage map to perform QTL mapping, and identified significant QTLs contributing to resistance to cyflumetofen (one QTL on LG1), cyenopyrafen (one QTL on LG3), and pyflubumide (two QTLs on LG1 and LG3). The QTL peaks on LG1 for cyflumetofen and pyflubumide overlapped and included the SdhB locus. For cyenopyrafen resistance, the QTLs on LG3 included the SdhC locus. For cyflumetofen resistance, we found an I260T mutation in SdhB. For pyflubumide and cyenopyrafen resistance, we detected I260V and S56L substitutions in SdhB and SdhC, respectively, by direct sequencing. Both I260 in SdhB and S56 in SdhC were present in highly conserved regions of the ubiquinone binding site formed at the interface among SdhB, SdhC, and SdhD. Mutations at these positions have been implicated in resistance against fungicides that act as Sdh inhibitors in various pathogens. Therefore, we consider these mutations to be target-site resistance mutations for these acaricidal SDH inhibitors.

INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2020; 123:103413.

Abstract
Differential expression of metabolic detoxification enzymes is an important mechanism involved in pesticide/acaricide resistance of mite pests. The competing endogenous RNA hypothesis offers a new opportunity to investigate post-transcriptional regulation of those genes. In this study, 4454 long non-coding RNAs were identified in the carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus by transcriptome sequencing. Software-based predictions indicated that a long intergenic non-coding RNA, (lincRNA)_Tc13743.2 and a detoxification enzyme gene, TcGSTm02, both contained a microRNA (miR-133-5p) response element. Over-expression of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and TcGSTm02 were detected in a cyflumetofen-resistant T. cinnabarinus strain (CyR), whereas down-regulation of miR-133-5p was observed in this strain. Conversely, up-regulation of miR-133-5p could inhibit TcGSTm02 expression levels, and both lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and TcGSTm02 were significantly enriched in miR-133-5p biotin-avidin pull-down assays. RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assay showed that lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and TcGSTm02 bound to a silencing complex containing miR-133-5p. Moreover, a luciferase reporter assay based on a human cell line revealed that over-expression of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 could significantly reduce the inhibition exerted by miR-133-5p through the TcGSTm02 3'UTR. In addition, co-localization of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and miR-133-5p was detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization, suggesting that lincRNA_Tc13743.2 interacts directly with miR-133-5p in spider mites. More importantly, silencing the expression of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 significantly reduced the expression levels of TcGSTm02 and increased the sensitivity of spider mites to cyflumetofen. Our data show that lincRNA_Tc13743.2 up-regulates TcGSTm02 expression by competing for miR-133-5p binding, demonstrating that a lincRNA_Tc13743.2-miR-133-5p-TcGSTm02 pathway mediates cyflumetofen resistance in mites.

Abstract
Amidase is an important hydrolytic enzyme in detoxification metabolism. Amidase hydrolyzes a wide variety of nonpeptide carbon‑nitrogen bonds by attacking a cyano group or carbonyl carbon. However, little is known about the relationship between amidase and insecticides. In this study, the amidase activity was significantly higher in cyflumetofen-resistant strain (CyR) than in the susceptible strain (SS) of Tetranychus cinnabarinus, and diethyl-phosphoramidate (an amidase inhibitor) significantly decreased cyflumetofen resistance in T. cinnabarinus. More importantly, an amidase gene, TcAmidase01, was identified in T. cinnabarinus, and the TcAmidase01 overexpression was detected in both two cyflumetofen-resistant strains (CyR and YN-CyR), indicating that it is involved in cyflumetofen resistance in mites. A phylogenetic analysis showed that TcAmidase01 was clustered with deaminated glutathione amidases, which possess hydrolytic activity. The recombinant TcAmidase01 protein showed amidase activity toward succinamate, and the activity could be inhibited by cyflumetofen. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) analysis provided evidence that recombinant TcAmidase01 could decompose cyflumetofen by hydrolysis, and the potential metabolites (2-(4-(tert-butyl) phenyl)-2-cyanoacetate and 2-(trifluoromethyl) benzoic acid) were identified. These results show that TcAmidase01 contribute to cyflumetofen-resistance in T. cinnabarinus by hydrolyzing cyflumetofen, and this is the first study to suggest that amidase has a role in insecticides resistance in arthropods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyflumetofen is an outstanding acaricide with a novel mode of action. Tetranychus cinnabarinus, an important agricultural pest, is notorious for developing resistance to most classes of acaricides rapidly and results in enormous loss for the economy. Our previous study had pointed out glutathione S-transferase (GSTs) significantly contributed to the cyflumetofen-resistance formation in T. cinnabarinus, but the more specific mechanism needed to be further investigated. RESULTS The unstable resistance was observed in cyflumetofen-resistant strain (CyR)under acaricide-free condition. The activity of GSTs increased along with the development of resistance. The expressions of 13 GST genes were detected in CyR and susceptible strain (SS), of which six genes were overexpressed in CyR and the TcGSTm02 was selected as the representative for functional study. The expression of TcGSTm02 changed along with the resistant level of CyR with the same trend. Recombinant protein of TcGSTm02 with high activity was successfully obtained by E. coli expression system, whose activity could be inhibited by cyflumetofen (IC50 = 0.23 mM). Recombinant TcGSTm02 could effectively decompose cyflumetofen, and catalyze GS- to conjugate with cyflumetofen. CONCLUSION All clues confirmed that GSTs strongly associated with cyflumetofen-resistance and a representative gene, TcGSTm02, showed function on contributing the evolution of cyflumetofen-resistance in T. cinnabarinus. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Latreille; Acari: Ixodidae), is a peridomestic ectoparasite of dogs and occasionally humans. In some populations, lack of integrated pest management practices and overuse of pesticides has resulted in high levels of resistance to multiple active ingredients. In this study, we established the etofenprox discriminating concentration (DC) and three additional screening concentrations to evaluate resistance status. Using mortality results, cross-resistance was investigated in brown dog tick populations from five geographically disparate regions, including Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and the Caribbean, following exposure to the DC for both etofenprox and permethrin separately. Subsequently, using both larval packet tests and molecular methods, etofenprox resistance was investigated. RESULTS The etofenprox DC was set at 0.51%, which allows for the rapid screening of peridomestic brown dog tick populations for resistance to this active ingredient. Cross-tolerance to two sodium channel-inhibiting pesticides, permethrin and etofenprox, was observed in one population. CONCLUSION Our study has provided a single etofenprox concentration that can be used in larval packet tests to determine resistance status in collected peridomestic brown dog ticks, which is particularly important when a single to a few engorged adult ticks are provided for evaluation. Although metabolic resistance is presumed to be the primary resistance mechanism, a sodium channel mutation also confers tolerance to etofenprox at the DC. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2019; 75:2166-2173. [PMID: 30653811 DOI: 10.1002/ps.5339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2018] [Revised: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased expression or point mutations of carboxyl/cholinesterases (CCEs) have been involved in many cases of insecticide and acaricide resistance. However, it has been only rarely documented that downregulation of CCE genes is associated with resistance, although many insecticides and acaricides need hydrolytic activation in vivo. Previously, expression analysis of a laboratory-selected cyflumetofen-resistant strain of Tetranychus cinnabarinus indicated that resistance was associated with increased expression of a CCE gene of TcCCE04, but also the downregulation of two CCE genes, TcCCE12 and TcCCE23. RESULTS Synergism experiments revealed the importance of ester hydrolysis in cyflumetofen toxicity, because treatment with S,S,S-tributylphosphorotrithioate (DEF) caused strong inhibition of cyflumetofen hydrolysis, in both the susceptible and resistant strains. Moreover, silencing expression of TcCCE12 and TcCCE23 via RNAi further decreased the susceptibility of mites to cyflumetofen significantly, suggesting that downregulated CCE genes could be involved in cyflumetofen resistance. In addition, it was shown that recombinant TcCCE12 protein could hydrolyze cyflumetofen effectively. CONCLUSION Decreased esterase activity via downregulation of specific CCE genes most likely contributes to cyflumetofen resistance by decreased activation of cyflumetofen to its active metabolite. Mixtures of cyflumetofen and esterase-inhibition acaricides (e.g. organophosphates or carbamates) should be avoided in field applications. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Tetranychus urticae Koch is one of the most common and harmful pests in vegetable production areas. Similar to other countries, control of T. urticae is mainly based on acaricides in Turkey. However, T. urticae rapidly develops resistance and failures in chemical control have occurred frequently. The toxicity of various acaricides was investigated in ten T. urticae populations collected from vegetable crops in Turkey. In addition, populations were screened for the presence of currently known target-site resistance mutations. It was shown that resistance to bifenthrin was the most widespread, but also half of the populations were resistant to abamectin and hexythiazox. Resistance mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) and chitin synthase 1 were found in various populations. Moreover, for the first time, F1538I and L1024V VGSC mutations were reported for Turkish populations. Mutations that confer resistance to abamectin, bifenazate and METI-I acaricides such as pyridaben were not detected. These results will contribute to the design of an effective resistance management program in Turkey.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, 5% cyflumetofen nanocapsules were prepared by interfacial polymerization with isophorone diisocyanate and polyethylene glycol as the reaction monomer, and tristyrylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (601-P) as the emulsifier. The physical, chemical and sustained release properties of cyflumetofen nanocapsules were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, laser particle size analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angles testing and high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS The results indicated that cyflumetofen nanocapsules were spherical, with an average particle size of 100 nm, and an encapsulation efficiency and loading rate of 86% and 32%, respectively. The thermal and cold storage stabilities of cyflumetofen nanocapsules were good. Under high temperature, lower pH or a high core-wall ratio, nanoparticle release is faster. The field efficacy experiment indicated that the efficacy of cyflumetofen nanocapsules against Panonychus citri reached 97%, 30 days after spraying, significantly greater than that of a 20% cyflumetofen suspension. CONCLUSION It is important to increase the stability, lengthen the release period and improve the efficacy of cyflumetofen in cyflumetofen nanocapsules. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The acaricide bifenazate acts as complex III inhibitor whereas cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625 act as complex II inhibitors. All these acaricides are commonly used to control two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch. We examined field-evolved and laboratory-selected resistance of TSSM to these three acaricides and determined cross-resistance among them. Six field populations of TSSM showed low levels of resistance to bifenazate with resistance ratios ranging from 2.20 to 10.65 compared to a susceptible strain. SYP-9625, structurally similar to cyenopyrafen, showed slightly higher activity to TSSMs but significant cross-resistance in both field populations and a laboratory-selected strain by SYP-9625. However, low levels of resistance to these two chemicals were found in field populations even when used for short time periods. Cross-resistance was not found between bifenazate and Complex II inhibitors, cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625, in both field populations and the laboratory-selected strain. Field-evolved resistance of TSSM to the tested acaricides is still low and should be delayed by the implementation of resistance management practices. Cross-resistance between cyenopyrafen and SYP-9625 is obvious, so they should not be used together in resistance management strategies based on mode of action rotation.

Abstract
As a new acaricide, cyflumetofen can effectively control Tetranychus, Panonychus, as well as other phytophagous mites. But its risk and the way of genetic and resistant inheritance in mites are not clear. In this study, two cyflumetofen-resistant strains (CyR and YN-CyR) were selected for 104 and 12 generations, and developed 104.7-fold and 25.6-fold resistance, respectively. Three crossing groups (CyR_80 × SS, CyR_104 × SS, YN-CyR × SS) were conducted to explore the resistant inheritance of cyflumetofen in T. cinnabarinus changed along with resistant level or not. The results of reciprocal crosses and backcrosses revealed that the incomplete recessive and multiple genes trait involved in two resistant strains. The different stage of resistance also has a same genetic trait. A cross-resistance study revealed that there was no cross-resistance between cyflumetofen and other four acaricides including avermectin, fenpropathrin, propargite and bifenazate respectively, but the cross-resistance to pyridaben reached a high level with 63.8-fold, which indicates an underlying mechanism that can both mediate cyflumetofen- and pyridaben-resistance in T. cinnabarinus.

Abstract
microRNA-1 (miR-1) is a well-studied conservative microRNA (miRNA) involved in immune responses in mammals and insects. However, little is known about its role in pesticide resistance in arthropods. In this study, we found that a microRNA belong to miR-1 family (tci-miR-1-3p) was significantly down-regulated in a cyflumetofen-resistant strain (CYR) of Tetranychus cinnabarinus compared with its homologous susceptible strain (SS), indicating an involvement of miR-1 in cyflumetofen resistance in mites. One glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene (TCGSTM4, a mu class GST gene), a candidate target gene of tci-miR-1-3p, was found to be significantly down-regulated when tci-miR-1-3p was over-expressed. The specific interaction between tci-miR-1-3p and the target sequence in the 3' untranslated region of TCGSTM4 was confirmed. A decrease or increase in tci-miR-1-3p abundance through feeding miRNA inhibitors or mimics significantly increased or decreased TCGSTM4 expressions at the mRNA and protein levels, respectively. In addition, an over-expression of tci-miR-1-3p resulted in a decrease in the tolerance of T. cinnabarinus to cyflumetofen in both SS and CYR strains, and vice versa. After decreasing TCGSTM4 transcription via RNA interference, T. cinnabarinus became more sensitive to cyflumetofen in both resistant and susceptible mites, and the change in mortality was greater in CYR than that in SS. Moreover, the recombinant TCGSTM4 could significantly decompose cyflumetofen, indicating that TCGSTM4 is a functional gene responsible for cyflumetofen resistance in mites.

Abstract
The carmine spider mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus [Acarifonnes: Tetranychidae]) and the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae [Acarifonnes: Tetranychidae]) are two notorious pests of agricultural crops. Control of these pests has been dependent upon using different kinds of acaricides. The purpose of this study was to determine the differential responses of these two pest species collected from crops in the same field to acaricide treatments. Field trials have shown that without spraying acaricides, T. cinnabarinus will displace T. urticae. However, the application of abamectin has the potential to change the composition of spider mite complexes and facilitate the interspecific competition of T. urticae against T. cinnabarinus when both are fed on cowpeas and eggplants. Moreover, T. urticae is more prone to develop resistance than T. cinnabarinus when selected in the laboratory using cyflumetofen or fenpropathrin. After 20 generations of acaricide selection, the activities of detoxifying enzymes were considerably higher in T. urticae with more detoxifying enzymes upregulated after selection in this species. The results of this study demonstrate that differential responses to acaricide treatments have made it possible for T. urticae to overcome the competitive advantage present in T. cinnabarinus during the absence of acaricide application.

Abstract
Synergists can counteract metabolic insecticide resistance by inhibiting detoxification enzymes or transporters. They are used in commercial formulations of insecticides, but are also frequently used in the elucidation of resistance mechanisms. However, the effect of synergists on genome-wide transcription in arthropods is poorly understood. In this study we used Illumina RNA-sequencing to investigate genome-wide transcriptional responses in an acaricide resistant strain of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae upon exposure to synergists such as S,S,S-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (DEF), diethyl maleate (DEM), piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and cyclosporin A (CsA). Exposure to PBO and DEF resulted in a broad transcriptional response and about one third of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and UDP-glycosyltransferases, was shared between both treatments, suggesting common transcriptional regulation. Moreover, both DEF and PBO induced genes that are strongly implicated in acaricide resistance in the respective strain. In contrast, CsA treatment mainly resulted in downregulation of Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) genes, while DEGs of the DEM treatment were not significantly enriched for any GO-terms.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying insecticide and acaricide resistance in insects and mites are often complex, including additive effects of target-site insensitivity, increased metabolism and transport. The extent to which target-site resistance mutations contribute to the resistance phenotype is, however, not well studied. Here, we used marker-assisted backcrossing to create 30 congenic lines carrying nine mutations (alone, or in combination in a few cases) associated with resistance to avermectins, pyrethroids, mite growth inhibitors and mitochondrial complex III inhibitors (QoI) in a polyphagous arthropod pest, the spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Toxicity tests revealed that mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel, chitin synthase 1 and cytochrome b confer high levels of resistance and, when fixed in a population, these mutations alone can result in field failure of acaricide treatment. In contrast, although we confirmed the implication of mutations in glutamate-gated chloride channels in abamectin and milbemectin insensitivity, these mutations do not lead to the high resistance levels that are often reported in abamectin resistant strains of T. urticae. Overall, this study functionally validates reported target-site resistance mutations in T. urticae, by uncoupling them from additional mechanisms, allowing to finally investigate the strength of the conferred phenotype in vivo.

Abstract
Agriculture is confronted with enormous challenges, from production of enough high-quality food to water use, environmental impacts and issues combined with a continually growing world population. Modern agricultural chemistry has to support farmers by providing innovative agrichemicals, used in applied agriculture. In this context, the introduction of halogen atoms into an active ingredient is still an important tool to modulate the properties of new crop protection compounds. Since 2010, around 96% of the launched products (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides/acaricides and nematicides) contain halogen atoms. The launched nematicides contain the largest number of halogen atoms, followed by insecticides/acaricides, herbicides and fungicides. In this context, fungicides and herbicides contain in most cases fluorine atoms, whereas nematicides and insecticides contain in most cases 'mixed' halogen atoms, for example chlorine and fluorine. This review gives an overview of the latest generation of halogen-containing pesticides launched over the past 6 years and describes current halogen-containing development candidates. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The dissipation pattern of a commercial cyenopyrafen formulation sprayed at the recommended dose on Asian pears (two different species) grown at two different sites was investigated using liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection. Samples collected randomly over 14 days were extracted using acetone, partitioned using n-hexane/dichloromethane (8/2, v/v), and purified using a Florisil solidphase extraction cartridge. The residues in field-incurred samples were confirmed via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The method was validated in terms of excellent linearity in the solvent (R 2=1); moreover, satisfactory recoveries (89.0-107.3%) were obtained at three fortification levels with a relative standard deviation (RSD)≤5.0% and the limits of detection and quantification of 0.0033 and 0.01 mg/kg, respectively. Although the residual levels at both sites were lower than the maximum residue limit (MRL=1 mg/kg), the dissipation at Site 2 was faster than that at Site 1. Consequently, the half-life (t1/2) in Site 2 (5.2 d) was shorter than that in Site 1 (9.8 d). Risk assessment at zero days showed acceptable daily intakes (%) of 27.25% and 24.52% at Sites 1 and 2, respectively, indicating that these fruit species are safe for consumption.

A glutathione-S-transferase (TuGSTd05) associated with acaricide resistance in Tetranychus urticae directly metabolizes the complex II inhibitor cyflumetofen. INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2017; 80:101-115. [PMID: 27932274 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2016.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2016] [Revised: 12/02/2016] [Accepted: 12/03/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Cyflumetofen is a recently introduced acaricide with a novel mode of action, acting as an inhibitor of complex II of mitochondrial electron transport chain. It is activated by hydrolysis and the resulting de-esterified metabolite is a much stronger inhibitor. Cyflumetofen represents a great addition for the control of mite species including Tetranychus urticae, a major agricultural pest, which has the ability to develop resistance to most classes of pesticides rapidly. A resistant strain (Tu008R) was recently described and synergism experiments pointed towards the involvement of GSTs. Here, we conducted genome-wide gene expression analysis, comparing Tu008R with its parental susceptible strain, and identified the delta GST TuGSTd05 as the prime resistance-conferring candidate. Docking analysis suggests that both cyflumetofen and its de-esterified metabolite are potential substrates for conjugation by TuGSTd05. Several amino acids were identified that might be involved in the interaction, with Y107 and N103 possibly having an important role. To further investigate interaction as well as the role of Y107 and N103 in vitro, we recombinantly expressed and kinetically characterized the wild type TuGSTd05, TuGSTd05 Y107F and TuGSTd05 N103L mutants. While cyflumetofen was not found to act as a strong inhibitor, the de-esterified metabolite showed strong affinity for TuGSTd05 (IC50 = 4 μM), which could serve as a mechanism of rapid detoxification. Y107 and N103 might contribute to this interaction. HPLC-MS analysis provided solid indications that TuGSTd05 catalyzes the conjugation of ionized glutathione (GS-) to cyflumetofen and/or its de-esterified metabolite and the resulting metabolite and possible site of attack were identified.

Abstract
A series of novel pyrazolyl acrylonitrile derivatives was designed, targeting Tetranychus cinnabarinus, and synthesized. Their structures were identified by combination of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS spectra. The structures of compounds 18 and 19 were further confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Extensive greenhouse bioassays indicated that compound 19 exhibits excellent acaricidal activity against all developmental stages of T. cinnabarinus, which is better than the commercialized compounds cyenopyrafen and spirodiclofen. It was shown that the acute toxicity of compounds 19 to mammals is quite low. The structure-activity relationships are also discussed.

Abstract
Enantioselective dissipation behavior of the new acaricide cyflumetofen (CYF) in citrus and soil, and its cytotoxicity to human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells was investigated for the first time. The results of degradation experiment showed that roughly similar half-lives of (-)-CYF and (+)-CYF were achieved in citrus (16.5 and 19.8 d) and soil (6.37 and 6.99 d), respectively. EF values varied from 0.50 to 0.42 in citrus and from 0.49 to 0.48 in soil, indicating that slightly enantioselective degradation happened during experiment period. Moreover, indexes of MTT, LDH, ROS, MDA, SOD, and CAT were used to evaluate enantioselective cytotoxicity and oxidative stress of CYF enantiomers to HepG2 cells. Dose- and structure form-dependent phenomenon was observed with toxicity orders of (-)-CYF > rac-CYF > (+)-CYF. Despite the similar environmental degradation behavior, the toxicities of CYF enantiomers showed great difference, suggesting that (+)-CYF might be developed as potential substitute of rac-CYF for safety consideration.

Abstract
The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is one of the most important pests on a wide range of crops worldwide. Studies on stability of resistance and possible fitness costs associated with etoxazole resistance were carried out in T. urticae to provide basic information necessary to define effective acaricide resistance management strategies for this pest. Selection for resistance to etoxazole was performed in a population of T. urticae collected from a commercial rose field, in Holambra County, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. After five rounds of selection for resistance, the resistance ratio (R/S) at the LC50 reached 8739 fold value in comparison with a susceptible strain (Brazabrantes S Strain). The stability of etoxazole resistance was studied under laboratory conditions, using a population with initial frequency of 75 % of resistant mites. The frequencies of etoxazole resistance were evaluated monthly for a period of 13 months. The frequency of etoxazole resistance decreased from 75 to 37 % in this period. Comparison of biological traits between resistant and susceptible strains indicated the presence of fitness costs associated with etoxazole resistance. The resistant strain showed lower fecundity and a higher proportion of males in the population. The figures for net reproductive rate (R 0), intrinsic rate of natural increase (r m) and finite rate of increase (λ) were higher in the susceptible strain. The instability of etoxazole resistance is a favorable aspect for the acaricide resistance management in the spider mite.

Abstract
Carboxylesterases (CarEs) play important roles in metabolism and detoxification of dietary and environmental xenobiotics in insects and mites. On the basis of the Tetranychuscinnabarinus transcriptome dataset, 23 CarE genes (6 genes are full sequence and 17 genes are partial sequence) were identified. Synergist bioassay showed that CarEs were involved in acaricide detoxification and resistance in fenpropathrin- (FeR) and cyflumetofen-resistant (CyR) strains. In order to further reveal the relationship between CarE gene's expression and acaricide-resistance in T. cinnabarinus, we profiled their expression in susceptible (SS) and resistant strains (FeR, and CyR). There were 8 and 4 over-expressed carboxylesterase genes in FeR and CyR, respectively, from which the over-expressions were detected at mRNA level, but not DNA level. Pesticide induction experiment elucidated that 4 of 8 and 2 of 4 up-regulated genes were inducible with significance in FeR and CyR strains, respectively, but they could not be induced in SS strain, which indicated that these genes became more enhanced and effective to withstand the pesticides' stress in resistant T. cinnabarinus. Most expression-changed and all inducible genes possess the Abhydrolase_3 motif, which is a catalytic domain for hydrolyzing. As a whole, these findings in current study provide clues for further elucidating the function and regulation mechanism of these carboxylesterase genes in T. cinnabarinus' resistance formation.

Abstract
The synthesis of propesticides is an important concept in design of modern agrochemicals with optimal efficacy, environmental safety, user friendliness and economic variability. Based on increasing knowledge of the biochemistry and genetics of major pest insects, weeds and agricultural pathogens, the search for selectivity has become an ever more important part of pesticide development and can be achieved by appropriate structural modifications of the active ingredient. Propesticides affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion parameters, which can lead to biological superiority of these modified active ingredients over their non-derivatised analogues. Various selected commercial propesticides testify to the successful utilisation of this concept in the design of agrochemicals. This review describes comprehensively the successful utilisation of propesticides and their role in syntheses of modern agrochemicals, exemplified by selected commercial products coming from different agrochemical areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyenopyrafen is a recently developed acaricide with a new mode of action as a complex II inhibitor. However, it was recently shown that cross-resistance to cyenopyrafen can occur in resistant field strains of Tetranychus urticae, which might be linked to the previous use of classical METI acaricides. Here, we selected for cyenopyrafen resistance and studied the molecular mechanisms that underlie resistance. RESULTS Selection for cyenopyrafen resistance confers cross-resistance to the complex II inhibitor cyflumetofen, but also to pyridaben, a frequently used complex I inhibitor. Cyenopyrafen resistance is highly synergised by piperonyl butoxide, and a 15-fold higher P450 activity was detected in the resistant strain. Target-site resistance was not detected. Genome-wide gene expression data, followed by a meta-analysis of previously obtained gene expression data, revealed the overexpression specifically of CYP392A11 and CYP392A12. CONCLUSIONS Cyenopyrafen resistance is strongly linked to the overexpression of two P450s, which probably explains the observed cross-resistance. This information is highly valuable, as the novel complex II inhibitors cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen are in the process of worldwide registration. The role of both CYP392A11 and CYP392A12 should be further supported by functional expression, but they are very promising candidates as molecular diagnostic markers for monitoring cyenopyrafen susceptibility in the field.

Abstract
Cyenopyrafen is a Mitochondrial Electron Transport Inhibitor (METI) acaricide with a novel mode of action at complex II, which has been recently developed for the control of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae, a pest of eminent importance globally. However, some populations of T. urticae are cross-resistant to this molecule, and cyenopyrafen resistance can be readily selected in the lab. The cytochrome P450s genes CYP392A11 and CYP392A12 have been strongly associated with the phenotype. We expressed the CYP392A11 and the CYP392A12 genes with T. urticae cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) in Escherichia coli. CYP392A12 was expressed predominately as an inactive form, witnessed by a peak at P420, despite optimization efforts on expression conditions. However, expression of CYP392A11 produced a functional enzyme, with high activity and preference for the substrates Luciferin-ME EGE and ethoxycoumarin. CYP392A11 catalyses the conversion of cyenopyrafen to a hydroxylated analogue (kcat = 2.37 pmol/min/pmol P450), as well as the hydroxylation of fenpyroximate (kcat = 1.85 pmol/min/pmol P450). In addition, transgenic expression of CYP392A11 in Drosophila melanogaster, in conjunction with TuCPR, confers significant levels of fenpyroximate resistance. The overexpression of CYP392A11 in multi-resistant T. urticae strains, not previously exposed to cyenopyrafen, which had been indicated by microarray studies, was confirmed by qPCR, and it was correlated with significant levels of cyenopyrafen and fenpyroximate cross-resistance. The implications of our findings for insecticide resistance management strategies are discussed.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2015; 121:12-21. [PMID: 26047107 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2014.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 148] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2014] [Revised: 12/08/2014] [Accepted: 12/08/2014] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Acaricides are one of the cornerstones of an efficient control program for phytophagous mites. An analysis of the global acaricide market reveals that spider mites such as Tetranychus urticae, Panonychus citri and Panonychus ulmi are by far the most economically important species, representing more than 80% of the market. Other relevant mite groups are false spider mites (mainly Brevipalpus), rust and gall mites and tarsonemid mites. Acaricides are most frequently used in vegetables and fruits (74% of the market), including grape vines and citrus. However, their use is increasing in major crops where spider mites are becoming more important, such as soybean, cotton and corn. As revealed by a detailed case study of the Japanese market, major shifts in acaricide use are partially driven by resistance development and the commercial availability of compounds with novel mode of action. The importance of the latter cannot be underestimated, although some compounds are successfully used for more than 30 years. A review of recent developments in mode of action research is presented, as such knowledge is important for devising resistance management programs. This includes spirocyclic keto-enols as inhibitors of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, the carbazate bifenazate as a mitochondrial complex III inhibitor, a novel class of complex II inhibitors, and the mite growth inhibitors hexythiazox, clofentezine and etoxazole that interact with chitin synthase I.
