Risk assessment, fitness cost, cross-resistance, and mechanism of tetraniliprole resistance in the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis. INSECT SCIENCE 2024; 31:835-846. [PMID: 37846895 DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.13282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
The rice stem borer (RSB), Chilo suppressalis, a notorious rice pest in China, has evolved a high resistance level to commonly used insecticides. Tetraniliprole, a new anthranilic diamide insecticide, effectively controls multiple pests, including RSB. However, the potential resistance risk of RSB to tetraniliprole is still unknown. In this study, the tetraniliprole-selection (Tet-R) strain was obtained through 10 continuous generations of selection with tetraniliprole 30% lethal concentration (LC30). The realized heritability (h2) of the Tet-R strain was 0.387, indicating that resistance of RSB to tetraniliprole developed rapidly under the continuous selection of tetraniliprole. The Tet-R strain had a high fitness cost (relative fitness = 0.53). We established the susceptibility baseline of RSB to tetraniliprole (lethal concentration at LC50 = 0.727 mg/L) and investigated the resistance level of 6 field populations to tetraniliprole. All tested strains that had resistance to chlorantraniliprole exhibited moderate- to high-level resistance to tetraniliprole (resistance ratio = 27.7-806.8). Detection of ryanodine receptor (RyR) mutations showed that the Y4667C, Y4667D, I4758M, and Y4891F mutations were present in tested RSB field populations. RyR mutations were responsible for the cross-resistance between tetraniliprole and chlorantraniliprole. Further, the clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR) / CRISPR-associated protein 9-mediated genome-modified flies were used to study the contribution of RyR mutations to tetraniliprole resistance. The order of contribution of a single RyR mutation to tetraniliprole resistance was Y4667D > G4915E > Y4667C ≈ I4758M > Y4891F. In addition, the I4758M and Y4667C double mutations conferred higher tetraniliprole resistance than single Y4667C mutations. These results can guide resistance management practices for diamides in RSB and other arthropods.

INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2024; 168:104107. [PMID: 38492676 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2024.104107] [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: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella, a global insect pest of cruciferous vegetables, has evolved resistance to many classes of insecticides including diamides. Three point mutations (I4790M, I4790K, and G4946E) in the ryanodine receptor of P. xylostella (PxRyR) have been identified to associate with varying levels of resistance. In this study, we generated a knockin strain (I4790K-KI) of P. xylostella, using CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce the I4790K mutation into PxRyR of the susceptible IPP-S strain. Compared to IPP-S, the edited I4790K-KI strain exhibited high levels of resistance to both anthranilic diamides (chlorantraniliprole 1857-fold, cyantraniliprole 1433-fold) and the phthalic acid diamide flubendiamide (>2272-fold). Resistance to chlorantraniliprole in the I4790K-KI strain was inherited in an autosomal and recessive mode, and genetically linked with the I4790K knockin mutation. Computational modeling suggests the I4790K mutation reduces the binding of diamides to PxRyR by disrupting key hydrogen bonding interactions within the binding cavity. The approximate frequencies of the 4790M, 4790K, and 4946E alleles were assessed in ten geographical field populations of P. xylostella collected in China in 2021. The levels of chlorantraniliprole resistance (2.3- to 1444-fold) in these populations were significantly correlated with the frequencies (0.017-0.917) of the 4790K allele, but not with either 4790M (0-0.183) or 4946E (0.017-0.450) alleles. This demonstrates that the PxRyR I4790K mutation is currently the major contributing factor to chlorantraniliprole resistance in P. xylostella field populations within China. Our findings provide in vivo functional evidence for the causality of the I4790K mutation in PxRyR with high levels of diamide resistance in P. xylostella, and suggest that tracking the frequency of the I4790K allele is crucial for optimizing the monitoring and management of diamide resistance in this crop pest.

PLoS One 2024; 19:e0295928. [PMID: 38394153 PMCID: PMC10889863 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0295928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is one of the most destructive pests of corn. New infestations have been reported in the East Hemisphere, reaching India, China, Malaysia, and Australia, causing severe destruction to corn and other crops. In Puerto Rico, practical resistance to different mode of action compounds has been reported in cornfields. In this study, we characterized the inheritance of resistance to chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide and identified the possible cross-resistance to cyantraniliprole and cyclaniliprole. The Puerto Rican (PR) strain showed high levels of resistance to flubendiamide (RR50 = 2,762-fold) and chlorantraniliprole (RR50 = 96-fold). The inheritance of resistance showed an autosomal inheritance for chlorantraniliprole and an X-linked inheritance for flubendiamide. The trend of the dominance of resistance demonstrated an incompletely recessive trait for H1 (♂ SUS × ♀ PR) × and an incompletely dominant trait for H2 (♀ SUS × ♂ PR) × for flubendiamide and chlorantraniliprole. The PR strain showed no significant presence of detoxification enzymes (using synergists: PBO, DEF, DEM, and VER) to chlorantraniliprole; however, for flubendiamide the SR = 2.7 (DEM), SR = 3.2 (DEF) and SR = 7.6 (VER) indicated the role of esterases, glutathione S- transferases and ABC transporters in the metabolism of flubendiamide. The PR strain showed high and low cross-resistance to cyantraniliprole (74-fold) and cyclaniliprole (11-fold), respectively. Incomplete recessiveness might lead to the survival of heterozygous individuals when the decay of diamide residue occurs in plant tissues. These results highlight the importance of adopting diverse pest management strategies, including insecticide rotating to manage FAW populations in Puerto Rico and other continents.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:3693-3699. [PMID: 37184302 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7550] [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: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The common cutworm, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), is one of the most widespread and destructive polyphagous pests in tropical and subtropical Asia. S. litura has evolved resistance to different insecticides, including diamide insecticides. Here, we identified a ryanodine receptor (RyR) mutation (I4728M) associated with target site resistance to diamides in a field-collected population of S. litura. The contribution of this mutation to diamide resistance was investigated through establishing a near-isogenic resistant strain of S. litura. RESULTS The ND21 population of S. litura, collected from Ningde, Fujian province of China in 2021, exhibited 130.6-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole compared to the susceptible NJ-S strain. S. litura RyR mutation I4728M, corresponding to Plutella xylostella RyR I4790M, was identified in the ND21 population. SlRyR I4728M mutation of ND21 was introgressed into a susceptible background strain (NJ-S) with marker-assisted backcrossing. The introgressed strain named ND21-R, which was homozygous for the mutant 4728M allele, shared about 94% of the genetic background with the NJ-S strain. ND21-R strain showed moderate levels of resistance to two anthranilic diamides (19.1-fold to chlorantraniliprole, 19.7-fold to cyantraniliprole) and the phthalic diamide flubendiamide (23.4-fold). Genetic analysis showed that chlorantraniliprole resistance was autosomal, incompletely recessive and tightly linked with SlRyR I4728M mutation in the introgressed ND21-R strain of S. litura. CONCLUSION Identification of the I4728M mutation and its contribution to diamide resistance in S. litura will help develop allelic discrimination assays for resistance monitoring and guide resistance management practices for diamides in S. litura. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rice leaffolder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenée), has become an increasingly occurring pest in Asia in recent years. Chemical control remains the most efficient and primary tool for controlling this pest. In this study, we report the resistance status of C. medinalis in China to multiple insecticides including chlorantraniliprole and the main resistance mechanism. RESULTS Significant variations among field populations of C. medinalis in their resistance to 10 insecticides were observed during 2019-2022. Most of the tested field populations have developed low-to-moderate levels of resistance to abamectin (RR = 2.4-22.2), emamectin benzoate (RR = 1.9-40.3) and spinetoram (RR = 4.2-24.8). Some field populations have developed low resistance to chlorpyrifos (RR = 0.9-6.8). Indoxacarb, metaflumizone, methoxenozide and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) potency against all tested populations remained similar. For diamides, significantly higher levels of resistance to chlorantraniliprole (RR = 64.9-113.7) were observed in 2022, whereas all tested field populations in 2019-2021 exhibited susceptible or moderate resistance level to chlorantraniliprole (RR = 1.3-22.1). Cross-resistance between chlorantraniliprole and tetraniliprole was significant. Analysis of ryanodine receptor (RyR) mutations showed that mutation of I4712M was present in resistant populations of C. medinalis with different levels of chlorantraniliprole resistance and was the main mechanism conferring diamide resistance. Mutation of Y4621D also was detected in one tested population. Resistance management strategies for the control of C. medinalis are discussed. CONCLUSION C. medinalis has developed high level of resistance to chlorantraniliprole. RyR mutations were deemed as the mechanism. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The antioxidant proteins, peroxiredoxins (Prxs), function to protect insects from reactive oxygen species-induced toxicity. In this study, two Prx genes, CsPrx5, and CsPrx6, were cloned and characterized from the paddy field pest, Chilo suppressalis, containing open reading frames of 570 and 672 bp encoding 189 and 223 amino acid polypeptides, respectively. Then, we investigated the influence of various stresses on their expression levels using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The results showed expression of CsPrx5 and CsPrx6 in all developmental stages, with eggs having the highest level. CsPrx5 and CsPrx6 showed higher expression in the epidermis and fat body, and CsPrx6 also showed higher expression in midgut, fat body, and epidermis. Increasing concentrations of insecticides (chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) increased the expression levels of CsPrx5 and CsPrx6. In addition, the expression levels of CsPrx5 and CsPrx6 were almost markedly upregulated in larvae under temperature stress or fed by vetiver. Thus, CsPrx5 and CsPrx6 upregulation might increase the C. suppressalis defense response by reducing the impact of environmental stress, providing a better understanding of the relationship between environmental stresses and insect defense systems.

Exaptation of I4760M mutation in ryanodine receptor of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Lessons from museum and field samples. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 195:105579.

Abstract
Since 2007, diamide insecticides have been widely used in Korea to control various types of lepidopteran pests including Spodoptera exigua. For nearly a decade, diamide resistance in field populations of S. exigua across 18 localities has been monitored using bioassays. Despite their short history of use, resistance to diamide insecticides has emerged. Based on the LC50 values, some field populations showed a higher level of resistance to chlorantraniliprole, a diamide insecticide, compared to that of the susceptible strain, although regional and temporal variations were observed. To investigate resistance at a molecular level, we examined three mutations (Y4701C, I4790M, and G4946E) in the ryanodine receptor (RyR), which is the primary mechanism underlying diamide insecticide resistance. DNA sequencing showed that only the I4790M mutation was found in most field populations. As resistance levels varied significantly despite the uniform presence of the I4790M mutation, we considered the presence of another resistance factor. Further, the I4790M mutation was also found in S. exigua specimens collected prior to the commercialization of diamide insecticides in Korea as well as in other countries, such as the USA. This finding led us to hypothesize that the I4790M mutation were predisposed in field populations owing to selection factors other than diamide use. For further clarification, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of S. exigua (449.83 Mb) and re-sequencing of 18 individual whole genomes. However, no additional non-synonymous mutations were detected in the RyR-coding region. Therefore, we concluded that the high level of diamide insecticide resistance in Korean S. exigua is not caused by mutations at the target site, RyR, but is attributed to other factors that need to be investigated in future studies.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 191:105363.

Abstract
Spodoptera frugiperda is an economically important agricultural pest and poses a serious threat to food security globally. Its management is gravely challenged by its high polyphagous nature, strong migratory ability, and massive fecundity. Chlorantraniliprole (CHL) is widely utilized in controlling S. frugiperda, its intensive application and over-reliance pose adverse health risks, development of resistance, toxicity to beneficial insects, natural enemies, and environmental contamination. To address S. frugiperda resistance to CHL and its inherent challenges, this study explores the synergistic effects of camptothecin (CPT) with CHL in its management. The binary mixed adversely induced the larvae weight and mortality when compared to single-treated. CHL + CPT (1:20 mg/L) had the highest larvae mortality of (73.80 %) with a high antagonistic factor (0.90), while (1:10 mg/L) with (66.10%) mortality exhibited a high synergistic factor (1.43). Further, CHL + CPT (1:10 mg/L) considerably altered the midgut epithelial cell, peritrophic membrane, microvilli, basement membrane, and regenerative cells. For biochemical analysis, CHL + CPT (1:10 mg/L) significantly decreased glutathione-S-transferase (1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene CDNB) and cytochrome P450 (7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation) activities in the midgut in a dose and time dependent manner. Based on RNA-Seq analysis, a total of 4,373 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the three treatments. CPT vs CK (Control) had 1694 (968 up-, 726 down-regulated), CHL vs CK with 1771 (978 up-, 793 down-regulated), and CHL + CPT vs CK had 908 (394 up-, 514 down-regulated) DEGs. The enrichment analysis disclosed significant pathways such as metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, glutathione metabolism, TOLL and IMD (Immune Deficiency) signaling pathway, longevity regulating pathway. This study provides basis to expatiate on the molecular toxicological mechanism of CHL + CPT in management of fall armyworm.

Gong Y, Li T, Xiu X, Desneux N, Hou M. Lack of Known Target-Site Mutations in Field Populations of Ostrinia furnacalis in China from 2019 to 2021. TOXICS 2023; 11:332. [PMID: 37112559 PMCID: PMC10146737 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11040332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera; Pyralidae), is one of the most destructive insect pests of corn, for which chemical insecticides have been the primary method of control, especially during outbreaks. Little information is currently available on the status of insecticide resistance and associated mechanisms in O. furnacalis field populations. Invasions and outbreaks of Spodoptera frugiperda in China in recent years have increased chemical application in corn fields, which adds to the selection pressure on O. furnacalis. This study was conducted to estimate the risk of insecticide resistance by investigating the frequency of insecticide resistant alleles associated with target site insensitivity in field populations of O. furnacalis. Using the individual-PCR genotype sequencing analysis, none of the six target-site insecticide resistant mutations were detected in O. furnacalis field populations collected from 2019 to 2021 in China. These investigated insecticide resistance alleles are common in resistant Lepidoptra pests and are responsible for resistance to pyrethroids, organophosphorus, carbamates, diamide, and Cry1Ab. Our results support the low insecticide resistance status in field O. furnacalis populations and betokens the unlikely development of high resistance mediated by the common target-site resistance alleles. Additionally, the findings would serve as references for further efforts toward the sustainable management of O. furnacalis.

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals the Detoxification Mechanism of Chilo suppressalis in Response to the Novel Pesticide Cyproflanilide. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065461. [PMID: 36982533 PMCID: PMC10049496 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Chilo suppressalis is one of the most damaging rice pests in China’s rice-growing regions. Chemical pesticides are the primary method for pest control; the excessive use of insecticides has resulted in pesticide resistance. C. suppressalis is highly susceptible to cyproflanilide, a novel pesticide with high efficacy. However, the acute toxicity and detoxification mechanisms remain unclear. We carried out a bioassay experiment with C. suppressalis larvae and found that the LD10, LD30 and LD50 of cyproflanilide for 3rd instar larvae was 1.7 ng/per larvae, 6.62 ng/per larvae and 16.92 ng/per larvae, respectively. Moreover, our field trial results showed that cyproflanilide had a 91.24% control efficiency against C. suppressalis. We investigated the effect of cyproflanilide (LD30) treatment on the transcriptome profiles of C. suppressalis larvae and found that 483 genes were up-regulated and 305 genes were down-regulated in response to cyproflanilide exposure, with significantly higher CYP4G90 and CYP4AU10 expression in the treatment group. The RNA interference knockdown of CYP4G90 and CYP4AU10 increased mortality by 20% and 18%, respectively, compared to the control. Our results indicate that cyproflanilide has effective insecticidal toxicological activity, and that the CYP4G90 and CYP4AU10 genes are involved in detoxification metabolism. These findings provide an insight into the toxicological basis of cyproflanilide and the means to develop efficient resistance management tools for C. suppressalis.

Abstract
The world's hunger is continuously rising due to conflicts, climate change, pandemics (such as the recent COVID-19), and crop pests and diseases. It is widely accepted that zero hunger is impossible without using agrochemicals to control crop pests and diseases. Diamide insecticides are one of the widely used green insecticides developed in recent years and play important roles in controlling lepidopteran pests. Currently, eight diamine insecticides have been commercialized, which target the insect ryanodine receptors. This review summarizes the development and optimization processes of diamide derivatives acting as ryanodine receptor activators. The review also discusses pest resistance to diamide derivatives and possible solutions to overcome the limitations posed by the resistance. Thus, with reference to structural biology, this study provides an impetus for designing and developing diamide insecticides with improved insecticidal activities.

The effect of chlorantraniliprole on the transcriptomic profile of Spodoptera frugiperda: a typical case analysis for the response of a newly invaded pest to an old insecticide. Mol Biol Rep 2023; 50:2399-2410.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chlorantraniliprole is a diamide insecticide widely used in China over the last 15 years. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, newly invaded China in 2019. The response of FAW to chlorantraniliprole deserves more attention, in the context of many destructive lepidopteran species are resistant to diamide insecticides and the patent on core chemical of chlorantraniliprole in China expired in August 2022. METHODS AND RESULTS This study investigated the response profile in larvae under chlorantraniliprole-induced (LC50) stress using methods of bioassay, RNA-Seq and qPCR. We observed growth inhibition and lethal effects in FAW larvae, but at a relatively high LC50 value compared to other several pests. Additionally, under chlorantraniliprole-induced stress, 3309 unigenes were found to be differentially expressed genes. The impacted genes included 137 encoding for detoxification enzymes, 29 encoding for cuticle proteins, and 20 key enzymes involved in the chitin metabolism, which all associated with metabolic resistance. Finally, we obtained the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of two RyR genes, which are the target proteins for chlorantraniliprole. We also investigated the causes of the high LC50 value in our FAW, which possibly related to the stabilized 4743 M on SNP frequency of RyR. These findings documented the genetic background of RyR of FAW and indicated that application of chlorantraniliprole has a high risk of controlling FAW in China. CONCLUSION In brief, our results provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of chlorantraniliprole toxicity and detoxification in FAW, and will aid in monitoring the development of resistant strains for a newly pest to an old insecticide.

Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of long non-coding RNAs in Chilo suppressalis reveal their potential roles in chlorantraniliprole resistance. Front Physiol 2023; 13:1091232.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs, referred to as lncRNAs, perform essential functions in some biological processes, including reproduction, metamorphosis, and other critical life functions. Yet, lncRNAs are poorly understood in pesticide resistance, and no reports to date have characterized which lncRNAs are associated with chlorantraniliprole resistance in Chilo suppressalis. Here, RNA-seq was performed on two strains of C. suppressalis exposed to chlorantraniliprole: one is a susceptible strain (S), and the other is a resistant strain (R). In total, 3,470 lncRNAs were identified from 40,573 merged transcripts in six libraries, including 1,879 lincRNAs, 245 intronic lncRNAs, 853 sense lncRNAs, and 493 antisense lncRNAs. Moreover, differential expression analysis revealed 297 and 335 lncRNAs upregulated in S and R strains, respectively. Differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs are usually assumed to be involved in the chlorantraniliprole resistance in C. suppressalis. As potential targets, adjacent protein-coding genes (within <1000 kb range upstream or downstream of DE lncRNAs), especially detoxification enzyme genes (cytochrome P450s, carboxyl/cholinesterases/esterases, and ATP-binding cassette transporter), were analyzed. Furthermore, the strand-specific RT-PCR was conducted to confirm the transcript orientation of randomly selected 20 DE lincRNAs, and qRT-PCR was carried out to verify the expression status of 8 out of them. MSTRG.25315.3, MSTRG.25315.6, and MSTRG.7482.1 were upregulated in the R strain. Lastly, RNA interference and bioassay analyses indicated overexpressed lincRNA MSTRG.7482.1 was involved in chlorantraniliprole resistance. In conclusion, we represent, for the first time, the genome-wide identification of chlorantraniliprole-resistance-related lncRNAs in C. suppressalis. It elaborates the views underlying the mechanism conferring chlorantraniliprole resistance in lncRNAs.

Abstract
Chilo suppressalis is a widely distributed pest occurring in nearly all paddy fields, which has developed high level resistance to different classes of insecticides. Vetiver grass has been identified as a dead-end trap plant for the alternative control of C. suppressalis. In this study, two cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) genes, CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1, were identified and characterized, which are expressed at all developmental stages, with the highest expression in the midguts and fat bodies of 3rd instar larvae. Vetiver significantly inhibited the expression levels of CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 in 3rd larvae after feeding. RNA interference showed that silencing CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 genes dramatically reduced the pupation rate and pupa weight. Feeding on vetiver after silencing CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 led to higher mortality compared with feeding on rice. In conclusion, these findings indicated that the expression levels of CsCYP6SN3 and CsCYP306A1 were associated with the lethal effect of vetiver against C. suppressalis larvae and functional knowledge about these two detoxification genes could provide new targets for agricultural pest control.

Abstract
The Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is a major citrus pest spread around the world. It is also a vector of the bacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus', considered the cause of the fatal citrus disease huanglongbing (HLB). Insect ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are the primary target sites of diamide insecticides. In this study, full-length RyR cDNA from D. citri (named DcRyR) was isolated and identified. The 15,393 bp long open reading frame of DcRyR encoded a 5130 amino acid protein with a calculated molecular weight of 580,830 kDa. This protein had a high sequence identity (76-79%) with other insect homologs and a low sequence identity (43-46%) with mammals. An MIR domain, two RIH domains, three SPRY domains, four RyR repeat domains, an RIH-associated domain at the N-terminus, two consensus calcium-binding EF-hands, and six transmembrane domains were among the characteristics that DcRyR shared with insect and vertebrate RyRs. In expression analysis, the DcRyR gene displayed transcript abundance in all tissues and developmental stages as well as gene-differential and stage-specific patterns. In addition, diagnostic PCR experiments revealed that DcRyR had three potential alternative splice variants and that splicing events might have contributed to the various functions of DcRyR. However, diamide resistance-related amino acid residue mutations I4790M/K and G4946E were not found in DcRyR. These results can serve as the basis for further investigation into the target-based diamide pesticide resistance of D. citri.

Abstract
Chilo suppressalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a devastating rice crop pest in China. Chemical insecticides have been used to effectively managing C. suppressalis field populations in most of China’s agricultural regions. However, due to the intensive and extensive application of these insecticides, C. suppressalis has developed widespread resistance to many active ingredients. Thus, insecticide resistance development is a genuine concern for all crop specialists and growers. In this study, using the topical application method, we assessed the susceptibility of forty-six field populations of C. suppressalis to three insecticides in three Central Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2021. Our findings revealed that field populations of C. suppressalis built moderate to high levels of resistance to triazophos (Resistance Ratio (RR) = 41.9–250.0 folds), low to moderate levels of resistance to chlorpyrifos (RR = 9.5–95.2 folds), with the exception of the Zhijiang population in 2013 and the Xinyang population in 2015 at 4.8 folds and 3.4 folds resistance rates, respectively, despite showing susceptibility, and low and moderate levels of resistance to abamectin (RR = 4.1–53.5 folds). There were significant correlations between the activity of the detoxification enzymes (CarE) and the log LD50 values of triazophos. These results should help effective insecticide resistance management strategies reduce the risk of rapid build-ups of resistance to insecticides and slow down the process of selection for insecticide resistance.

Abstract
The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua is a global agricultural pest that is polyphagous, highly dispersive, and often difficult to control due to resistance to many insecticides. Previous studies showed that a target site mutation in the S. exigua ryanodine receptor (SeRyR) corresponding to I4743M contributes approximately 20-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole, whereas a mutation in the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP9A186 corresponding to F116V confers 200-fold to emamectin benzoate through enhanced metabolic detoxification. Here, high frequencies of mutations were found among six China S. exigua field populations collected from 2016 to 2019 resulting in SeRyR I4743M and CYP9A186 F116V substitutions, with some populations having high levels of resistance to chlorantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate, respectively. Whereas we found a significant correlation between emamectin benzoate resistance level and the allele frequency of CYP9A186 F116V, no significant correlation was found between chlorantraniliprole resistance level and SeRyR I4743M allele frequency in the six field populations. These results suggest that CYP9A186 F116V is a major resistance mechanism for emamectin benzoate in the tested field populations, whereas it is likely that resistance mechanisms other than SeRyR I4743M are responsible for resistance to chlorantraniliprole in the six China field populations. Because of the growing resistance to these two insecticides by S. exigua in China, the use of insecticidal compounds with different modes of action and/or other integrated pest management strategies are needed to further delay the evolution of insecticide resistance and effectively manage S. exigua in China.

Large-Scale Monitoring of the Frequency of Ryanodine Receptor Target-Site Mutations Conferring Diamide Resistance in Brazilian Field Populations of Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). INSECTS 2022; 13:insects13070626. [PMID: 35886802 PMCID: PMC9323691 DOI: 10.3390/insects13070626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a destructive moth pest species on various crops, particularly corn. It is native to the tropical regions of the Western Hemisphere such as Brazil, but recently invaded Africa, India, China, and Australia. Its larval stages damage crops by feeding, and to keep them under damage thresholds, insecticide applications are common. Due to frequent insecticide applications, FAW evolved resistance to different chemical classes of insecticides, including diamides. Field relevant levels of diamide resistance are usually conferred by ryanodine receptor (RyR) mutations and compromising recommended label rates. Diamide resistance in FAW so far remained restricted to laboratory-selected strains. Here, we investigated the frequency of specific resistance mutations in field-collected Brazilian populations of FAW by an F2 screen, selected two populations (BA-R and TF-R) for high levels of diamide resistance, deciphered the genetics of resistance, and employed a molecular genotyping assay to correlate resistance levels with the presence of RyR mutations. Crossin studies indicated that resistance is autosomal and (incompletely) recessive in both strains. F1 backcrosses suggested monogenic resistance, supported by the identification of an I4734M/K target-site mutation in the RyR. Our results will help to sustainably manage diamide resistance in FAW in Brazil. Abstract Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is an important lepidopteran pest in the Americas, and recently invaded the Eastern Hemisphere. In Brazil, FAW is considered the most destructive pest of corn and cotton. FAW has evolved resistance to many insecticides and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins. Here, a large-scale monitoring was performed between 2019 and 2021 to assess diamide insecticide susceptibility in more than 65 FAW populations sampled in corn and cotton. We did not detect a significant shift in FAW susceptibility to flubendiamide, but a few populations were less affected by a discriminating rate. F2 screen results of 31 selected FAW populations across regions confirmed that the frequency of diamide resistance alleles remained rather stable. Two laboratory-selected strains exhibited high resistance ratios against flubendiamide, and cross-resistance to anthranilic diamides. Reciprocal crosses indicated that resistance is autosomal and (incompletely) recessive in both strains. F1 backcrosses suggested monogenic resistance, supported by the identification of an I4734M/K target-site mutation in the ryanodine receptor (RyR). Subsequent genotyping of field-collected samples employing a TaqMan-based allelic discrimination assay, revealed a low frequency of RyR I4790M/K mutations significantly correlated with phenotypic diamide resistance. Our findings will help to sustainably employ diamides in FAW resistance management strategies across crops.

Abstract
Chilo suppressalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is one of the most destructive pests occurring in the rice-growing regions of Asia. Parasitoids, mainly egg parasitoids, have been of interest for several years even with practical used cases. Therefore, the potential impact of insecticides on natural enemies needs great attention. In this study, chlorantraniliprole was evaluated for its impact on C. suppressalis and two dominant parasitic wasps. Bioassays showed that chlorantraniliprole had negligible toxicity to Eriborus terebrans but was significantly toxic to Chelonus munakatae; the mortality exceeded 50% when the concentration reached 46.83 ng/cm2. Enzyme assays suggested that the significantly different carboxylesterase activity may be involved in the high-level detoxification metabolism of E. terebrans. According to the results of enzyme gene correlation analysis, P450s may be the dominant factor in the detoxification metabolism of C. munakatae. In addition, the ryanodine receptor C-terminus of C. suppressalis (CsRyR), C. munakatae (CmRyR) and E. terebrans (EtRyR) were successfully cloned. Different amino acids at resistance mutation I4758 M between susceptible C. suppressalis (I) and parasitic wasps (M) may be related to susceptibility differences. Simulated docking showed that CsRyR and CmRyR can interact with chlorantraniliprole but not EtRyR. More interaction forces were formed between CsRyR and chlorantraniliprole than CmRyR. Furthermore, a Pi-Pi T-shape formed between 73PHE in CsRyR and the benzene ring in chlorantraniliprole. These results indicated that both detoxification metabolism and the target site could mediate the susceptibility difference between C. suppressalis and its parasitic wasps.

Abstract
Chilo suppressalis has developed high levels of resistance to abamectin in many areas of China, while the underline resistance mechanisms are largely unclear. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters function in transporting a large diversity of substrates including insecticides and play important roles in the detoxification metabolism of insects. In this study, synergism bioassay revealed that the ABC transporters were involved in the detoxification of C. suppressalis to abamectin. Six ABC transporter genes were upregulated in C. suppressalis after abamectin exposure, among which five genes CsABCC8, CsABCE1, CsABCF1, CsABCF2, and CsABCH1 were induced in the detoxification-related tissues. In addition, the five ABC transporters were recombinantly expressed in Sf9 cells, and the cytotoxicity assay showed that the viabilities of cells expressing CsABCC8 or CsABCH1 were significantly increased when compared with the viabilities of cells expressing EGFP after abamectin, chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, fipronil, and chlorpyrifos treatment, respectively. Overexpression of CsABCE1 significantly increased the viabilities of cells to abamectin, chlorantraniliprole, deltamethrin, and indoxacarb exposure, respectively. These results suggested that CsABCC8, CsABCE1, and CsABCH1 might participate in the detoxification and transport of abamectin and several other classes of insecticides in C. suppressalis. Our study provides valuable insights into the transport-related detoxification mechanisms in C. suppressalis and other insects.

Diamide insecticide resistance in transgenic Drosophila and Sf9-cells expressing a full-length diamondback moth ryanodine receptor carrying an I4790M mutation. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2022; 78:869-880. [PMID: 34821007 PMCID: PMC9255861 DOI: 10.1002/ps.6730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistance to diamide insecticides in Lepidoptera is known to be caused primarily by amino acid changes on the ryanodine receptor (RyR). Recently, two new target site mutations, G4946V and I4790M, have emerged in populations of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, as well as in other lepidopteran species, and both mutations have been shown empirically to decrease diamide efficacy. Here, we quantify the impact of the I4790M mutation on diamide activation of the receptor, as compared to alterations at the G4946 locus. RESULTS I4790M when introduced into P. xylostella RyR expressed in an insect-derived Sf9 cell line was found to mediate just a ten-fold reduction in chlorantraniliprole efficacy (compared to 104- and 146-fold reductions for the G4946E and G4946V variants, respectively), whilst in the field its presence is associated with a ≥150-fold reduction. I4790M-mediated resistance to flubendiamide was estimated to be >24-fold. When the entire coding sequence of P. xylostella RyR was integrated into Drosophila melanogaster, the I4790M variant conferred ~4.4-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole and 22-fold resistance to flubendiamide in the 3rd instar larvae, confirming that it imparts only a moderate level of resistance to diamide insecticides. Although the I4790M substitution appears to bear no fitness costs in terms of the flies' reproductive capacity, when assessed in a noncompetitive environment, it does, however, have potentially major impacts on mobility at both the larval and adult stages. CONCLUSIONS I4790M imparts only a moderate level of resistance to diamide insecticides and potentially confers significant fitness costs to the insect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a difficult pest to manage mainly because of its resistance to insecticides and Bt proteins. We evaluated fitness costs of S. frugiperda resistant strains to diamide insecticides with different genetic backgrounds aiming to highlight the importance of using isogenic strains. We established a near-isogenic strain of S. frugiperda resistant to diamides (Iso-RR), using a chlorantraniliprole resistant strain (RR) selected from a field-collected population and a susceptible reference strain (SS). Fitness costs were assayed using strains with close-related genetic backgrounds (Iso-RR and SS) and strains with distant-related genetic backgrounds (RR and SS). RESULTS No fitness cost associated with chlorantraniliprole resistance in S. frugiperda was observed using the Iso-RR strain, based on life history traits. The only parameter that differs between Iso-RR and SS strains was the mean length of a generation (T), whereas the Iso-RR strain presented T = 35.8 and SS strain showed T = 34.6. On the other hand, a significant fitness cost was detected using the RR strain. All population growth parameters differ between RR and SS strains. Based on the intrinsic rate of population increase (rm ) parameter, the relative fitness estimated was 1.02 for the Iso-RR strain and 0.64 for the RR strain. CONCLUSION The genetic background of the resistant strains alters fitness cost outcomes. The RR strain showed fitness costs associated with resistance, but the Iso-RR did not. Our work supports the decision-making process of resistance management programs and adds to the growing body of research that enlightens the importance of strain genetics in fitness cost experiments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The striped rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyraidae), is one of the most serious rice pests in China. Chlorantraniliprole was used extensively for C. suppressalis control over the past ten years, and some field populations have developed high resistance. In this study, we report the chlorantraniliprole resistance status of C. suppressalis in China and the resistance mechanism. RESULTS Significant geographical variations of chlorantraniliprole susceptibility were observed among 28 C. suppressalis field populations in 2019-2020. The LC50 values varied from 2907.874 mg L-1 (XS19) to 1.524 mg L-1 (QW19). Most tested field populations collected from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Anhui provinces in 2020 showed a high level of resistance to chlorantraniliprole (RR = 311.9-2060.1), whereas Jiangsu and Sichuan province populations remained susceptible. Analysis of RyR mutations showed that mutations of I4758M, Y4667D, Y4667C and Y4891F were present in resistant populations of C. suppressalis with different levels of chlorantraniliprole resistance. The frequency of the Y4667C mutation was correlated with chlorantraniliprole resistance in YY19 (RR = 702.6) and YY20 (RR = 1426.8) populations, with the homozygous mutation frequencies of 15.6% and 29.4%, respectively. High contributions of the I4758M and Y4667C double mutation to diamide resistance was demonstrated with CRISPR/Cas9-modified D. melanogaster. Flies bearing the Y4667C mutation (I4758M and Y4667C double mutation in C. suppressalis) exhibited high resistance to chlorantraniliprole (RR = 172.1), and moderate resistance to cyantraniliprole (RR = 79.2) and tetra chlorantraniliprole (RR = 43.6), which were higher than that of single mutations. CONCLUSIONS Chlorantraniliprole resistance in C. suppressalis is intensifying in China. RyR double mutations (i.e. I4758M and Y4667C) confer higher diamide resistance than single mutations.

Abstract
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a global pest of multiple economically important row crops and the development of resistance to commercially available insecticidal classes has inhibited FAW control. Thus, there is a need to identify chemical scaffolds that can provide inspiration for the development of novel insecticides for FAW management. This study aimed to assess the sensitivity of central neurons and susceptibility of FAW to chloride channel modulators to establish a platform for repurposing existing insecticides or designing new chemicals capable of controlling FAW. Potency of select chloride channel modulators were initially studied against FAW central neuron firing rate and rank order of potency was determined to be fipronil > lindane > Z-stilbene > DIDS > GABA > E-stilbene. Toxicity bioassays identified fipronil and lindane as the two most toxic modulators studied with topical LD50's of 41 and 75 ng/mg of caterpillar, respectively. Interestingly, Z-stilbene was toxic at 300 ng/mg of caterpillar, but no toxicity was observed with DIDS or E-stilbene. The significant shift in potency between stilbene isomers indicates structure-activity relationships between stilbene chemistry and the binding site in FAW may exist. The data presented in this study defines the potency of select chloride channel modulators to FAW neural activity and survivorship to establish a platform for development of novel chemical agents to control FAW populations. Although stilbenes may hold promise for insecticide development, the low toxicity of the scaffolds tested in this study dampen enthusiasm for their development into FAW specific insecticides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although decoding the molecular mechanisms underlying insecticide resistance has often proven difficult, recent progress has revealed that specific mutations in the ryanodine receptor (RyR) of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, can confer resistance to diamide insecticides. The extent to which specific RyR mutations contribute to the diamide resistance phenotype, the associated genetic traits and fitness costs remain limited. RESULTS Three field-evolved PxRyR mutations (G4946E, I4790 M, and I4790 K) were respectively introgressed into a common susceptible background strain (IPP-S) of P. xylostella with marker-assisted backcrossing. The mutations alone can result in moderate to high levels of resistance to five commercial diamides (flubendiamide, chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, tetraniliprole, and cyclaniliprole), and the resistance intensity mediated by the three mutations was hierarchical in order of I4790 K (1199- to >2778-fold) > G4946E (39- to 739-fold) > I4790 M (16- to 57-fold). Flubendiamide resistance was autosomal and incompletely recessive, and was significantly linked with the introgressed mutations in the three constructed strains. In addition, the resistance levels to flubendiamide of hybrid progeny from any two resistant strains fell in between the status of their parents. Furthermore, by comparing the net replacement rate, the fitness of 4946E, 4790 M and 4790 K strains were 0.77, 0.93 and 0.92 relative to the IPP-S strain, respectively. CONCLUSION Three independent PxRyR mutations confer varying degrees of resistance to diamides in P. xylostella. Among the three mutations, I4790 K confers highest levels of resistance (> 1000-fold) to all five commercial diamides. The findings can guide resistance management practices for diamides in P. xylostella and other arthropods.

Abstract
Ryanodine receptor (RyR) is one of the primary targets of commercial insecticides. The diamide insecticide family, including flubendiamide, chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, etc, targets insect RyRs and can be used to control a wide range of destructive agricultural pests. The diamide insecticides are highly selective against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests with relatively low toxicity for non-target species, such as mammals, fishes, and beneficial insects. However, recently mutations identified on insect RyRs have emerged and caused resistance in several major agricultural pests throughout different continents. This review paper summarizes the recent findings on structure and function of insect RyRs as insecticide target. Specifically, we examine the structures of RyRs from target and non-target species, which reveals the molecular basis for insecticide action and selectivity. We also examine the structural and functional changes of RyR caused by the resistance mutations. Finally, we examine the progress in RyR structure-based insecticide design, and discuss how this might help the development of new generation of green insecticides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pymetrozine is commonly used for the control of Nilaparvata lugens, and resistance to pymetrozine has been frequently reported in the field populations in recent years. However, the mechanism of brown planthopper resistance to pymetrozine is still unknown. RESULTS In this study, a pymetrozine-resistant strain (PMR) was established, and the potential biochemical resistance mechanism of N. lugens to pymetrozine was investigated. Pymetrozine was synergized by the inhibitor piperonyl butoxide (PBO) in the PMR with 2.83-fold relative synergistic ratios compared with the susceptible strain (Sus). Compared with the Sus, the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity of PMR was increased by 1.7 times, and two P450 genes (NlCYP6CS1 and NlCYP301B1) were found to be significantly overexpressed more than 6.0-fold in the PMR. Pymetrozine exposure induced upregulation of NlCYP6CS1 expression in the Sus, but the expression of NlCYP301B1 did not change significantly. In addition, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated suppression of NlCYP6CS1 gene expression dramatically increased the toxicity of pymetrozine against N. lugens. Moreover, transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster expressing NlCYP6CS1 were less susceptible to pymetrozine, and had a stronger ability to metabolize pymetrozine. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our findings indicate that the overexpression of NlCYP6CS1 is one of the key factors contributing to pymetrozine resistance in N. lugens. And this result is helpful in proposing a management strategy for pymetrozine resistance.

Floating chitosan-alginate microspheres loaded with chlorantraniliprole effectively control Chilo suppressalis (Walker) and Sesamia inferens (Walker) in rice fields. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 783:147088. [PMID: 34088145 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.147088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Striped rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) and pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens (Walker) are two important pests, causing substantial yield loss in rice production. Application of conventional synthetic pesticides, such as suspension concentrates and water-dispersible granules, is a primary method for control of the two pests. Due to the flow of water in rice field, spray drift, and soil adsorption, applied such pesticides are often out of the target, resulting in low control efficacy, potential contamination of soil or surface water, and also threat to human health. Thus, there is an urgent need for developing environmentally friendly and highly targeted pesticide formulations to meet the challenges. The present study synthesized chlorantraniliprole loaded chitosan-alginate floating hydrogel microspheres (CCAM) through physical embedding, ionic crosslinking, and incorporation of citronellol as an oil phase. The morphology, particle size, entrapment efficiency, loading capacity, in vitro slow-release kinetics, and floating ability of the CCAM were tested in laboratory conditions. The CCAM and two commercial formulations (suspended and granulated) of chlorantraniliprole were respectively evaluated in two rice fields located in two provinces of China. The CCAM was able to float on the surface of rice field, gather around rice stems, and slowly release chlorantraniliprole, which resulted in significantly higher concentrations of chlorantraniliprole in rice stems and leaves for a prolonged time than suspended and granulated controls. The application of CCAM provided an on-target control of both striped stem borer and pink stem borer. Furthermore, CCAM application had very low residue of chlorantraniliprole in soils. As far as is known, this is the first report of chlorantraniliprole loaded on chitosan-alginate floating hydrogel microspheres for rice stem borer control. Our results indicate that the synthesized CCAM could potentially be used as a controlled-release product for effective control of the two rice pests, while reducing the residual chlorantraniliprole in the soil and avoiding pesticide drift.

A Comparative Perspective on Functionally-Related, Intracellular Calcium Channels: The Insect Ryanodine and Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11071031. [PMID: 34356655 PMCID: PMC8301844 DOI: 10.3390/biom11071031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 07/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis is vital for insect development and metabolism, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a major intracellular reservoir for Ca2+. The inositol 1,4,5- triphosphate receptor (IP3R) and ryanodine receptor (RyR) are large homotetrameric channels associated with the ER and serve as two major actors in ER-derived Ca2+ supply. Most of the knowledge on these receptors derives from mammalian systems that possess three genes for each receptor. These studies have inspired work on synonymous receptors in insects, which encode a single IP3R and RyR. In the current review, we focus on a fundamental, common question: “why do insect cells possess two Ca2+ channel receptors in the ER?”. Through a comparative approach, this review covers the discovery of RyRs and IP3Rs, examines their structures/functions, the pathways that they interact with, and their potential as target sites in pest control. Although insects RyRs and IP3Rs share structural similarities, they are phylogenetically distinct, have their own structural organization, regulatory mechanisms, and expression patterns, which explains their functional distinction. Nevertheless, both have great potential as target sites in pest control, with RyRs currently being targeted by commercial insecticide, the diamides.

Abstract
Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a widely distributed pest of corn. Since it invaded China in 2018, it has caused serious damage to local corn production. Chlorantraniliprole, an anthranilic diamide insecticide, has been widely used to control lepidopteran pests. Tetrachloropyramid is a new allosteric modulator insecticide developed based on chlorantraniliprole, so it has a similar mechanism and insecticidal effect. In this study, we investigated resistance levels to chlorantraniliprole and tetrachloropyramid in S. frugiperda from 13 populations in China. Among the populations tested, the relative highest resistance to chlorantraniliprole occurred in the Guangzhou population, and the most susceptible to chlorantraniliprole was found in the Wuhan population. The lethal dosage LD50 value of the Guangzhou population against chlorantraniliprole was 27.8-fold higher than that of the Wuhan population. Minimal differences were observed among S. frugiperda populations in terms of sensitivity to tetrachloropyramid. Heterozygous mutations at the I4734 site of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) were found, while no mutations were found in the G4891 site. The mutations were detected in only two of the 786 individuals analyzed, one from the Qinzhou population and other from the Anshun population (frequency below 2% in both cases). There were no significant differences in the expression levels of RyR between Guangzhou and Wuhan populations. In summary, our results indicate that: (i) S. frugiperda has low resistance levels to diamide insecticides in China; and (ii) the differences in relative resistance among the 13 populations analyzed are not caused by the mutations in RyR or the expression of RyR.

Abstract
The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is a major lepidopteran pest of global importance in cultivation of numerous crops including cotton, maize, soybean, onion, cabbage, and ornamentals. It has evolved resistance to different insecticides. However, the current status of insecticide resistance in S. exigua has not been well examined in China. In this study, concentration-mortality responses of S. exigua to seven insecticides, including chlorantraniliprole, tetraniliprole, methoxyfenozide, indoxacarb, chlorfenapyr, emamectin benzoate and beta-cypermethrin were evaluated. The results showed that most of the tested populations had developed moderate to high resistance to chlorantraniliprole, with resistance ratios ranging from 6.3 to 2477.3-fold. Our results also showed that chlorantraniliprole have cross-resistance with tetraniliprole in S. exigua. The AY19 population collected from Anyang in Henan Province in 2019 exhibited a high resistance level to beta-cypermethrin (RR = 277.5). Methoxyfenozide and chlorfenapyr were highly effective against all of the tested populations with resistance ratios (RR) ranging from 0.1 to 2.2-fold. One of the tested populations showed moderate resistance to indoxacarb and emamectin benzoate. We detected the known ryanodine receptor target site resistance mutation, I4743M, in the field populations of S. exigua with different levels of diamide resistance.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is an intracellular calcium channel critical to the regulation of insect muscle contraction and the target site of diamide insecticides such as chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole and flubendiamide. To-date, diamides are the only known class of synthetic molecules with high potency against insect RyRs. Target-based screening of an informer library led to discovery of a novel class of RyR activators, pyrrole-2-carboxamides. Efforts to optimize receptor activity resulted in analogs with potency comparable to that of commercial diamides when tested against RyR of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Surprisingly, testing of pyrrole-2-carboxamides in whole-insect screens showed poor insecticidal activity, which is partially attributed to differential selectivity among insect receptors and rapid detoxification. Among various lepidopteran species field resistance to diamide insecticides has been well documented and in many cases has been attributed to a single point mutation, G4946E, of the RyR gene. As with diamide insecticides, the G4946E mutation confers greatly reduced sensitivity to pyrrole-2-carboxamides. This, coupled with findings from radioligand binding studies, indicates a shared binding domain between anthranilic diamides and pyrrole-2-carboxamides.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) has gained attention in recent years as a viable pest control strategy. Here, RNAi assays were performed to screen the potential functionality of genes in Chilo suppressalis, a serious pest of rice, and to determine their potential for developing a highly targeted molecular control approach. Potential homologs of NADH dehydrogenase (ND), glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) and male specific lethal 3 (MSL3) were cloned from C. suppressalis, and their spatiotemporal gene expression evaluated. The expression of all three genes was higher in the pupal and adult stages than the larval stages and largely higher in the larval head compared to other tissues. Newly hatched larvae exhibited high mortalities and suppressed growth when fed bacteria producing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) corresponding to the three target genes. This study provides insights into the function of ND, GPDH and MSL3 during C. suppressalis larval development and suggests that all may be candidate gene targets for C. suppressalis pest management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), and the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), are two major polyphagous lepidopteran pests of cultivated crops. They develop various levels of resistance to many frequently applied broad-spectrum insecticides. Here, the larval susceptibilities of a laboratory population and six field-collected populations per pest from Hunan Province, China to three insecticides were determined using a standard leaf-dipping method in the laboratory. Field-plot trials were conducted to verify the control efficacies of broflanilide 100 g L-1 suspension concentrate (SC), chlorantraniliprole 5% SC and emamectin benzoate 5.7% water-dispersible granule, against H. armigera and S. exigua larvae using foliar sprays in 2013 and 2019. RESULTS Variations among H. armigera and S. exigua field populations in their susceptibility levels to the three insecticides were observed in Linli, Yueyang and Changsha counties from 2013 to 2019. They were still high susceptibility to broflanilide only, but developed low and/or moderate levels of resistance to chlorantraniliprole and emamectin benzoate. In addition, broflanilide at 25 g ha-1 provided an excellent control efficacy of 81.92% to 96.46% against these pests during the 3-14-days period after treatment in both years, whereas chlorantraniliprole at 50 g ha-1 and emamectin benzoate at 4.5 g ha-1 exhibited significantly decreased efficacies, which were consistent with their corresponding toxicity levels. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that broflanilide should be an important new tool for the effective control of diamide- and avermectin-resistant H. armigera and S. exigua. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Chilo suppressalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a widely destructive pest occurring in rice, particularly in the rice-growing regions of Asia. In recent years, C. suppressalis has developed resistance to several insecticides because of the extensive use of insecticides. The resistance levels to four insecticides were determined among populations from different regions of Sichuan Province, China, using a drop-method bioassay. Based on LC50 values of a laboratory susceptible strain, all field populations showed moderate level of resistance to triazophos (23.9- to 83.5-fold) and were either susceptible or had a low level of resistance to abamectin (2.1- to 5.8-fold). All field-collected populations had a low or moderate level of resistance to chlorpyrifos (1.7- to 47.1-fold) and monosultap (2.7- to 13.5-fold). The synergism experiment indicated that the resistance of the XW19 to triazophos may be associated with cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), with the highest synergistic ratio (SR) of 3.05-fold and increased ratio (IR) of 2.28-fold for piperonylbutoxide (PBO). The P450 activity of the TJ19 population was the greatest among the six field populations. Moreover, the relative expression levels of four resistance-related P450 genes were detected with qRT-PCR, and the results indicated that CYP324A12, CYP321F3 and CYP9A68 were overexpressed in the resistant population, especially in the XW19 population (by 1.2-, 3.4 -, and 18.0-fold, respectively). In addition, the relative expression levels of CYP9A68 among the CZ19 and TJ19 populations were also enhanced 10.5- and 24.9-fold, respectively. These results suggested that CYP324A12, CYP321F3 and CYP9A68 may be related to the resistance development of C. suppressalis to triazophos.

Abstract
The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella is a major destructive pest of Brassica worldwide. P. xylostella has evolved resistance to nearly all commercial insecticides used for its control, including the most recent chemical class, diamide insecticides. Several studies show that the G4946E and I4790M mutations of ryanodine receptor (RyR) are strongly associated with diamide resistance in insects. While the pivotal functional role of G4946E in conferring diamide resistance phenotype has confirmed by several studies in different species, no direct evidence has unambiguously confirmed the functional significance of the single I4790M mutation in diamide resistance. Here, we successfully constructed a knockin homozygous strain (I4790M-KI) of P. xylostella using CRISPR/Cas9 coupled with homology directed repair approach to introduce I4790M into RyR. When compared with the background susceptible IPP-S strain, the manipulated I4790M-KI strain exhibited moderate resistance to the phthalic acid diamide flubendiamide (40.5-fold) and low resistance to anthranilic diamides chlorantraniliprole (6.0-fold) and cyantraniliprole (7.7-fold), with no changes to the toxicities of indoxacarb and β-cypermethrin. Furthermore, the acquired flubendiamide resistance was inherited in an autosomally recessive mode and significantly linked with the I4790M mutation of RyR in this I4790M-KI strain. Our findings provide in vivo functional evidence for the causality of I4790M mutation of PxRyR with moderate levels of resistance to flubendiamide in P. xylostella, and support the hypothesis that the diamide classes have different interactions with RyRs.

Susceptibility of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E.Smmith), to eight insecticides in China, with special reference to lambda-cyhalothrin.

Abstract
Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is the main destructive insect pest of grain crops that occurs in all maize growing regions of the Americas. It has rapidly invaded the Southern China since January 2019. However, the current status of insecticide resistance in S. frugiperda has not been reported in China. In this study, we determined the susceptibility of eight populations of FAW to eight insecticides by an artificial diet incorporation method. The results showed that among eight insecticides, emamectin benzoate, spinetoram, chlorantraniliprole, chlorfenapyr, and lufenuron showed higher toxicity to this pest, while lambda-cyhalothrin and azadirachtin exhibited lower toxicity. Susceptibility of S. frugiperda to indoxacarb was significantly different (10.0-fold for LC50) across the various geographic populations. To investigate the biochemical mechanism of FAW to lambda-cyhalothrin, we performed the synergism tests and the results showed that piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and triphenyl phosphate (TPP) produced a high synergism of lambda-cyhalothrin effects in the two field populations. Sequencing of the gene encoding the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene in the two field populations identified two amino acid mutations, all of which have been shown previously to confer resistance to organophosphates (OPs) in several arthropod species. The results of this study provided valuable information for choosing alternative insecticides and for insecticide resistance management of S. frugiperda.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2020; 297:110519. [PMID: 32563458 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2020.110519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2020] [Revised: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/03/2020] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
Using classical breeding, plant breeders envision a plant type whose yield they aim to enhance by selecting for individual traits to create model/ideal plants or ideotypes. To achieve this, those factors restricting yield need to be identified and controlled through the use of new technologies to achieve the desired ideotype. This study aimed to determine the ideotype of seven genetically modified (GM) and non-GM rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars. Field experiments were carried out in three isolated regions in the north of Iran under the Iranian bio-safety standard protocol. Four of the GM cultivars carried the cry1Ab gene in the vegetative stage while three non-GM cultivars served as the control. R2 values showed that five, six and seven variables in Sari, Amol and Rasht regions accounted for 63 %, 52 % and 74 % of paddy yield variation, respectively. In the same three regions, paddy yield variation due to white heads accounted for 28.38 %, 8.45 % and 3.95 % of the total variation in paddy yield, respectively. The total estimated variation in paddy yield in Sari, Amol and Rasht was 1810.50, 2377.6 and 2176.47 kg ha-1, respectively. Average data over the three regions indicated that highest loss in paddy yield was observed in non-GM 'Nemat', 'Khazar' and 'Tarom Hashemi'. GM cultivars derived from 'Khazar' showed significantly lower paddy yield loss than the non-GM parent. Dead heart, a condition that occurs in the vegetative stage in which the stem borer larva enters the stem and feeds on the growing shoot, causing the central shoot to dry, as well as white heads, which is a condition in which whole ear heads of adult plants become dry and yield chaffy grains, in all three regions were important variables contributing to paddy yield loss. In the future, producing GM rice resistant to striped stem borer with an active promoter in the reproductive growth stage might allow farmers to reduce a significant part of paddy yield loss resulting from white heads, which is directly negatively correlated with filled spikelets per panicle (R2 = -0.57**), in order to achieve an ideotype.

Abstract
Insect ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are the targets of diamide insecticides. Two point mutations G4946E and I4790M (numbering according to Plutella xylostella, PxRyR) in the transmembrane domain of the insect RyRs associated with diamide resistance have so far been identified in three lepidopteran pests, P. xylostella, Tuta absoluta and Chilo suppressalis. In this study, we identified one of the known RyR target site resistance mutations (I4790M) in a field-collected population of Spodoptera exigua. The field-collected WF population of S. exigua exhibited 154 fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole when compared with the susceptible WH-S strain. Sequencing the transmembrane domains of S. exigua RyR (SeRyR) revealed that the resistant WF strain was homozygous for the I4743M mutation (corresponding to I4790M in PxRyR), whereas the G4900E allele (corresponding to G4946E of PxRyR) was not detected. The 4743M allele was introgressed into the susceptible WH-S strain by crossing WF with WH-S, followed by three rounds of backcrossing with WH-S. The introgressed strain 4743M was homozygous for the mutant 4743M allele and shared about 94% of its genetic background with that of the recipient WH-S strain. Compared with WH-S, the near-isogenic 4743M strain showed moderate levels of resistance to chlorantraniliprole (21 fold), cyantraniliprole (25 fold) and flubendiamide (22 fold), suggesting that the I4743M mutation confers medium levels of resistance to all three diamides. Genetic analysis showed diamide resistance in the 4743M strain was inherited as an autosomal and recessive trait. Results from this study have direct implications for the design of appropriate resistance monitoring and management practices to sustainably control S. exigua.

Abstract
Besides the function of preventing metamorphosis in insects, the juvenile hormone (JH) plays a role in female reproduction; however, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. The methoprene-tolerant (Met) protein belongs to a family of basic helix-loop-helix–Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH-PAS) transcription factors and functions as the JH intracellular receptor. In this study, two full length cDNAs encoding Met (CsMet1 and CsMet2) were isolated from the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis. Structural analysis revealed that both CsMet1 and CsMet2 exhibited typical bHLH, PAS-A, PAS-B, and PAC (PAS C terminal motif) domains. Comparative analysis of transcript level using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) revealed that CsMet1 was predominant in almost all examined developmental stages and tissues. Treatment with methoprene in vivo induces the transcription of both CsMet1 and CsMet2. Notably, injection of dsCsMet1 and dsCsMet2 suppressed the expression levels of vitellogenin (CsVg) and Vg receptor (CsVgR). These findings revealed the potential JH signaling mechanism regulating C. suppressalis reproduction, and provided evidence that RNAi-mediated knockdown of Met holds great potential as a control strategy of C. suppressalis.

Multiple target-site mutations occurring in lepidopterans confer resistance to diamide insecticides. INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2020; 121:103367. [PMID: 32243905 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2020.103367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/24/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Diamide resistant phenotypes have evolved in the field and the resistance has been attributed to target-site mutations in some lepidopteran pests. In this study, we documented the resistance status of Chilo suppressalis to chlorantraniliprole during 2016-2018 in seven provinces of China. To investigate the possible role of target-site mutations as known from lepidopterans, we sequenced respective domains of the RyR gene of C. suppressalis with different levels of diamide resistance. The results revealed that I4758M (corresponding to I4790M in P. xylostella), Y4667D/C (numbered according to C. suppressalis), G4915E (corresponding to G4946E in P. xylostella), and one novel Y4891F (numbered according to C. suppressalis) RyR target-site mutations were present. The contribution of these mutations was further investigated by diamide toxicity bioassays with eight genome modified Drosophila melanogaster lines. The study showed that genome modified flies bearing the Y4667D mutation (corresponding to the Y4667D and I4758M simultaneous mutation in C. suppressalis) exhibited high resistance ratios to chlorantraniliprole (1542.8-fold), cyantraniliprole (487.9-fold) and tetrachlorantraniliprole (290.1-fold). The M4758I and G4915E simultaneous mutations (corresponding to single G4915E mutation in C. suppressalis) showed high resistance ratios to chlorantraniliprole (153.1-fold) and cyantraniliprole (323.5-fold), and relatively low resistance to flubendiamide (28.9-fold) and tetrachlorantraniliprole (25.2-fold). These findings suggest that multiple point mutations in RyR confer diamide resistance of C. suppressalis. The results contribute to a better understanding of insect diamide resistance mechanisms and provide insights on the impact of RyR target-site mutations in insects.

Abstract
This study examined diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) strains showing high-level resistance to cyantraniliprole (KA17 strain) and to flubendiamide and chlorantraniliprole (KU13 strain). The LC50 value of the KA17 strain against cyantraniliprole was ca. 100-fold higher than that of the KU13 strain. The KA17 strain also exhibited high-level resistance to chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide equivalent to those in the KU13 strain. The KU13 strain showed a higher LC50 value against cyantraniliprole than the susceptible strains. However, the LC50 value of the KU13 strain against cyantraniliprole was below the agriculturally recommended concentration. Subsequent QTL analysis using ddRAD-seq identified the resistance responsible regions of the KA17 and KU13 strains with different diamide resistance profiles. Ryanodine receptor (RyR) gene was included in the identified regions. Single nucleotide polymorphism calling in the RyR gene using RNA-seq found previously reported G4946E (amino acid mutation from glycine to glutamic acid at amino acid position 4946) and novel I4790K (amino acid mutation from isoleucine to lysine at amino acid position 4790) mutations, respectively, in the RyR of the KU13 and KA17 strains. Functional significance of I4790K in the resistance was confirmed in calcium imaging of the human embryonic kidney 293T cell line expressing Bombyx mori RyR with the mutation. This reporting is the first describing I4790K as a fundamental mechanism responsible for the resistance to the diamides including cyantraniliprole. From this study, we also report up-regulated expression of some degradation enzymes and that of the RyR gene in the KA17 and KU13 strains based on results of RNA-seq data analysis.

Abstract
While sublethal effects of insecticide on insect development have been widely studied, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Our previous studies revealed that sublethal concentrations of chlorantraniliprole significantly increased the juvenile hormone levels and resulted in both prolonged developmental time and reduced fecundity in Chilo suppressalis. In the present study, we evaluated the sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on molting hormone (MH) levels and mRNA expressions of three Halloween genes including CsCYP307A1, CsCYP306A1 and CsCYP314A1 in C. suppressalis. The results showed that the MH levels in different developmental stages of C. suppressalis were decreased after exposure to LC10 and LC30 of chlorantraniliprole. However, analysis of temporal expression profiles revealed that the mRNA levels of three Halloween genes were not closely correlated with the ecdysteroid titers in C. suppressalis. Notably, the transcript levels of CsCYP307A1, CsCYP306A1 and CsCYP314A1 were induced after treatment with sublethal concentrations of chlorantraniliprole in specific developmental stages. These results indicated that chlorantraniliprole had adverse effects on insect MH biosynthesis, and in addition to the involvement in MH biosynthesis, CsCYP307A1, CsCYP306A1 and CsCYP314A1 may also play important roles in the detoxification metabolism of chlorantraniliprole in C. suppressalis.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2020; 76:47-54.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), a major lepidopteran pest in Latin and North America, has very recently invaded the continents of Africa and Asia. FAW has evolved resistance to different insecticides and transgenic corn expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins. Here, we investigated the extent and mechanisms of resistance to diamide insecticides in a Brazilian field-collected FAW strain selected using chlorantraniliprole. RESULTS Continuous laboratory selection of a field-collected FAW strain with chlorantraniliprole resulted in resistance ratios of 225-fold and > 5400-fold against chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide, respectively, when compared with a susceptible strain. Pre-exposure to different synergists known to inhibit detoxification enzymes did not result in significantly increased larval toxicity, suggesting a minor role for metabolic resistance. Sequencing of the FAW ryanodine receptor (RyR) C-terminal domains II to VI revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism, resulting in a I4734M mutation recently said to confer target-site resistance to diamides in lepidopteran pests. Genotyping by pyrosequencing of field-collected FAW larvae sampled in the 2018 crop season suggests a low resistance allele frequency. Furthermore, we developed a fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based allelic discrimination assay for rapid genotyping of field-collected FAW samples, because diamides are increasingly used in Bt-/non-Bt corn. CONCLUSIONS Recently, the identified RyR mutation has been shown to confer field resistance in other lepidopteran pests such as diamondback moth, tomato leafminer and striped rice stem borer. The developed PCR-based allelic discrimination assay will help to monitor the frequency and future spread of diamide resistance allele in FAW field populations and help to implement appropriate resistance management measures. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
As a member of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) superfamily, vitellogenin (Vg) receptor (VgR) is responsible for the uptake of Vg into developing oocytes and is a potential target for pest control. Here, a full-length VgR complementary DNA (named as CsVgR) was isolated and characterized in the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis. The composite CsVgR gene contained an open reading frame of 5,484 bp encoding a protein of 1,827 amino acid residues. Structural analysis revealed that CsVgR contained two ligand-binding domains (LBDs) with four Class A (LDLRA ) repeats in LBD1 and seven in LBD2, which was structurally different from most non-Lepidopteran insect VgRs having five repeats in LBD1 and eight in LBD2. The developmental expression analysis showed that CsVgR messenger RNA expression was first detectable in 3-day-old pupae, sharply increased in newly emerged female adults, and reached a peak in 2-day-old female adults. Consistent with most other insects VgRs, CsVgR was exclusively expressed in the ovary. Notably, injection of dsCsVgR into late pupae resulted in fewer follicles in the ovarioles as well as reduced fecundity, suggesting a critical role of CsVgR in female reproduction. These results may contribute to the development of RNA interference-mediated disruption of reproduction as a control strategy of C. suppressalis.

Abstract
The anthranilic diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole was widely used for the controlling of Chilo suppressalis in China. Previous studies have revealed sublethal effects of chlorantraniliprole on the development and reproduction of C. suppressalis. In the present study, a comparative transcriptome analysis was performed to investigate the global gene expression changes in third-instar larvae of C. suppressalis after exposure to LC30 of chlorantraniliprole. A total of 908 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified including 441 up-regulated and 467 down-regulated unigenes. Gene enrichment analysis revealed that the down-regulated DEGs were mainly linked to carbohydrate, energy, lipid and amino acid metabolisms as well as posttranslational modification, while most of the DEGs involved in signal transduction were up-regulated. Specifically, the DEGs encoding detoxification related genes were identified and validated by RT-qPCR. Our results provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of chlorantraniliprole action and detoxification in C. suppressalis and other insect pests.

Abstract
In this study, the sensitivity of 20 field populations of Chilo suppressalis (Walker) from five provinces in China to seven insecticides was evaluated during 2016-2018. The results indicated that 20 field populations of C. suppressalis had evolved moderate to high levels of resistance to triazophos (RR 64.5-461.3) and chlorpyrifos (RR 10.1-125.0). Furthermore, C. suppressalis exhibited low to moderate levels of resistance to abamectin (RR 6.5-76.5) and decreased susceptibility to cyantraniliprole (RR 1.0-34.0). The population collected from Nanchang in Jiangxi Province (JXNC) showed high resistance to chlorantraniliprole (RR 148.3-294.3), and other geographical populations remained susceptible to moderate levels of resistance (RR 1.0-37.5). In contrast, C. suppressalis remained susceptible to low levels of resistance to spinetoram (RR 1.0-6.7) and spinosad (RR 1.0-4.6). Significant correlations were found between the Log LC50 values of chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole, chlorpyrifos and triazophos, as well as cyantraniliprole and chlorpyrifos and triazophos. Similarly, significant correlations were found among abamectin, chlorpyrifos, and triazophos. In addition, a significant correlation was also observed between the activity of the detoxification enzymes and the log LC50 values of chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, abamectin, chlorpyrifos, and triazophos. The findings provide an important reference for implementing effective resistance management strategies and the development of new insecticides in insect pest control.

Abstract
Chlorantraniliprole, an anthranilic diamide insecticide, is widely used for controlling lepidopteran pests, because of its high insecticidal activity. However, overuse of chlorantraniliprole has led to the selection of resistance in many insect pests, including Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera:Crambidae), one of the most damaging rice pests in China. In this study, resistance levels to chlorantraniliprole for C. suppressalis was surveyed from eight populations of three provinces in China. The levels of resistance were ranged from 34.4-fold to 284.0-fold compared with a susceptible population. Then, a 15402 bp fragment of the full-length cDNA of ryanodine receptor gene (CsRyR) from the XS strain, the highest resistant population, and a 1992 bp fragment of CsRyR cDNA encoding the carboxyl-terminal of CsRyR gene from the other seven populations were sequenced. A common previously identified mutation that was associated with chlorantraniliprole resistance against C. suppressalis, G4910E, was not detected in any of the eight populations in this study. However, another mutation I4758M was found in all seven resistant populations. Furthermore, the relative mRNA expression levels of CsRyR gene in the seven resistant populations were all reduced compared with susceptible strain. Our study provides new insights into the basis of monitoring the development of resistance and the mechanism of resistance to chlorantraniliprole in C. suppressalis.
