Khan MM, You Y, Rothenberg DO, Bhatt P, Fahad S, Zhou Y, Zhu ZR. Ecotoxicological insights into the effects of triflumezopyrim on P. fuscipes fitness, detoxification pathways, and gene expression. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 365:143386. [PMID: 39326707 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
The primary objective was to evaluate the toxicity of triflumezopyrim (TFP) on P. fuscipes larvae and adults at lethal and sublethal levels through topical application. Sublethal effects were assessed by examining developmental period, fecundity, life-table parameters, and fitness parameters. Enzymatic and transcriptional analyses were conducted to determine the impact of TFP on P. fuscipes physiology and gene expression. The LC50, LC30, and LC10 of TFP against P. fuscipes larvae and adults were lower than the field-recommended dose (48.75 mg a.i. L-1), indicating direct toxicity and sublethal effects during immature stages. Exposure to LC30 of TFP extended developmental periods for 2nd-instar larvae and pupae, reduced oviposition, larval predation efficiency, and body weight in both sexes. Sublethal concentrations affected antioxidant, detoxification, and energy reservoir enzymes significantly. Transcriptional analysis revealed impacts on insecticide detoxification, resistance, and stress-related genes. KEGG analysis showed glycerolipid metabolism is the most regulated pathway, and UGT2B10 regulated several detoxification-related pathways under TFP stress. These findings prompt reconsideration of the role of TFP in paddy field IPM due to its adverse effects on P. fuscipes, emphasizing the importance of assessing its ecological impacts before widespread application in agricultural practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor) is a globally distributed agricultural pest. Of late, resistance to common acaricides has raised concerns that chemical control of P. citri is an inefficient means of control. Fluralaner, a highly toxic isoxazoline insecticide used to treat various ectoparasites, presents one potential alternative. However, little information has been reported about the effect of fluralaner on the citrus red mite. This study aims to evaluate the toxicity, sublethal and transgenerational effects of fluralaner on P. citri. RESULTS In both laboratory and field populations of P. citri, we found fluralaner to be more toxic than conventional alternatives, including fenpropathrin, bifenazate, azocyclotin and chlorpyrifos. Interestingly, fluralaner proved more toxic to female adults than to the eggs of P. citri, with median lethal concentrations (LC50) of 2.446 and 122.7 mg L-1, respectively. Exposure to sublethal concentrations of fluralaner (LC10, LC20 and LC30) significantly reduced the fecundity and longevity of female adults P. citri individuals. Although concentrations of fluralaner applied to the parental female adults (F0) led to some changes in the developmental parameters, there were no significant changes in most of the life table parameters or population growth of the F1 generation. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that fluralaner is highly toxic to P. citri, and a significant sublethal effect on F0 could suppress the population growth of P. citri, but not for F1. Fluralaner may be considered as a pesticide for the future management of the citrus red mite. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 202:105941. [PMID: 38879332 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2024.105941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is extensively used as a crop protection agent. Overuse of EMB poses a serious threat to the quality of water and non-target organisms in the environment. Resveratrol (RES) is a natural phytoalexin with the function of anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether EMB affects the expression of cytokines and induces autophagy, apoptosis, and necroptosis of hepatocytes (L8824 cell) in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), and whether RES has an attenuate function in this process. Therefore, we established the L8824 cells model of EMB exposure and treated it with RES. The results showed that compared with the control (CON) group, EMB exposure significantly increased the nitric oxide (NO) content, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity, and the expression of iNOS and phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa B (p-NF-κB) (P < 0.05). In addition, compared with the CON group, the results of flow cytometry and dansylcadaverine (MDC) staining showed a significant increase in apoptosis and autophagy in the EMB-exposed group (P < 0.05) with the activation of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)/Bcl-2 associated X (Bax)/cysteine-aspartic acid protease 3 (Caspase-3)/cysteine-aspartic acid protease 9 (Caspase-9) pathway and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3)/sequestosome 1 (p62)/Beclin1 pathway. EMB exposure significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIPK1)/receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIPK3)/mixed the lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) pathway (P < 0.05). Moreover, EMB exposure significantly increased the expression of genes related to immunity (immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and immunoglobulin D (IgD), and antimicrobial peptide-related genes expression including β-defensin and hepcidin) (P < 0.05). The addition of RES significantly diminished autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, and immunity-related gene expression by inhibiting iNOS activity, NO content, and the protein expression of iNOS and p-NF-κB. In conclusion, RES attenuated autophagy, apoptosis, and necroptosis in EMB-exposed L8824 cells via suppression of the NO system/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Spodoptera frugiperda, one of the most destructive corn pests in the world, invaded China in December 2018. In this study, sublethal concentrations (LC10 and LC30) of emamectin benzoate (EB) were used to treat pesticide-free treatment (PFT) and EB treatment (ET) of S. frugiperda. In PFT, compared with the control (CK), the pupal weight, hatching rate, and pupation rate of LC10 and LC30 groups were significantly reduced. The fecundity and the expression of vitellogenin gene (SfVg) were decreased after LC30 treatment, while the LC10 treatment groups showed no significant difference from the control group. In ET, compared to CK, the fecundity was increased by 11.14 and 18.8%. The expression of SfVg was upregulated by 2.6 times after LC30 treatment. Moreover, RNAi-mediated SfVg knockdown resulted in a nearly 70% reduction in oviposition. The result provided a theoretical basis for optimizing the application of EB and Vg-dsRNA in the control of S. frugiperda.

Abstract
Developing an environmentally friendly and safe nanodelivery system is crucial to improve the efficacy of pesticides and minimize environmental and health risks. However, preparing a completely water-based nanopesticide without using harmful solvents is a technical challenge. In this study, a water-based nanodelivery pesticide system was constructed to improve the efficacy and safety of Emamectin Benzoate (EB). A specific surfactant, 29-(4-(5-hydroxynonan-5-yl)phenoxy)-3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27-nonaoxanonacosan-1-ol (SurEB) was designed and synthesized to form a water-based nanodelivery system (EBWNS) with EB. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the self-assembly and interaction forces between SurEB and EB in water, providing insights into the formation mechanism of EBWNS nanoparticles. The nanodelivery system showed the prolonged effectivity of EB with reduced degradation and demonstrated a good control efficacy for multiple target pests, such as red spider mite, beet armyworm larvae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and rice stem borers (Chilo suppressalis). Toxicology tests on various objects demonstrated that the EBWNS has low toxicity for seeds, HaCaT cells, zebrafish, earthworm, and E. coli. This study provides a distinctive perspective for developing environmentally friendly nanopesticide formulations, which clarified a water-based treatment method for specific lipid-soluble pesticides. The water-based nanodelivery pesticide system has the potential to improve the efficacy and safety of pesticides in the process of field applications.

Abstract
Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Alydidae) is a major soybean pest in East Asia that can cause soybean staygreen syndrome. To date, no insecticides have been registered for the control of R. pedestris in China, and these insects are primarily controlled in the field through the application of broad-spectrum insecticides including lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) and emamectin benzoate (EMB). Here, the lethal and sublethal effects of LCT and EMB on R. pedestris were comprehensively evaluated. LCT and EMB were both found to exhibit high levels of toxicity and concentration-dependent repellent effects for R. pedestris. The exposure of third instar nymphs from the F0 generation to LC30 concentrations of LCT and EMB resulted in a significant increase in the duration of nymph development and adult pre-oviposition period (APOP), together with reductions in fifth instar nymph and adult body weight, longevity, oviposition days, fecundity, vitellarium length, lateral oviduct diameter, and vitellogenin (Vg) gene expression as compared to control treatment. Strikingly, these suppressive effects were transmitted to the F1 generation, which similarly experienced the prolongation of preadult development and the preoviposition period (TPOP). Relative to control-treated populations, the F1 generation for these insecticide-treated groups also exhibited significant decreases in population parameter values. Overall, these data offer new insight into the impact that LCT and EMB treatment can have on R. pedestris, providing a valuable foundation for the application of these pesticides in the context of integrated pest management strategies aimed at soybean crop preservation.

Abstract
Emamectin benzoate (EB) is a widely used insecticide that can damage the central nervous and immune systems. EB exposure significantly reduced the number of eggs laid, hatching rate, and developmental rate of lower organisms such as nematodes. However, effects of EB exposure on the maturation of higher animals such as porcine oocytes remains unknown. Here we reported that EB exposure severely impaired porcine oocyte maturation. EB exposure with 200 μM prevented cumulus expansion and reduced the rates of first polar body (pb1) extrusion, cleavage and blastocyst after parthenogenetic activation. Moreover, EB exposure disrupted spindle organization, chromosome alignment, and polymerization of microfilaments, but also apparently decreased the levels of acetylated α-tubulin (Ac-Tub) in oocytes. In addition, EB exposure perturbed mitochondria distribution and increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but did not affect the distribution of cortical granules (CGs) in oocytes. Excessive ROS caused DNA damage accumulation and induced early apoptosis of oocytes. EB exposure led to the abnormal expression of cumulus expansion and apoptosis-associated genes. Altogether, these results demonstrate that EB exposure impaired nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of porcine oocytes probably through oxidative stress and early apoptosis.

Abstract
The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella L., is an important pest of cruciferous vegetables, and population control mainly depends on chemical pesticides. Emamectin benzoate is a highly effective insecticide used for controlling DBM. However, it is unknown how the sublethal effects of low concentration residues of emamectin benzoate on DBM. So the population development sublethal effects of emamectin benzoate, at LC5, LC10, and LC20 with concentrations of 0.014 mg/L, 0.024 mg/L and 0.047 mg/L, respectively, on adult DBM and their progeny were investigated in this study. The pupal weight, pupal period, female fecundity, and vitellin content of the F0 DBM generation increased significantly compared to the control. And the single female oviposition number of DBM was increased by 20.21% with LC20 treatment. The pupation rate, adult longevity and ovariole length of the treatment groups decreased significantly. The fecundity of DBM in the treatment groups increased, and this increased the population by a presumptive 13.84%. Treatment also led to the shortening of ovarioles and the reduction of egg hatching, and increased pupal weight in the F1 generation. We concluded that the effects of sublethal/low concentration emamectin benzoate on the different life stages of DBM were variable, and the reproductive hormesis on DBM adults were attractive findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developing pesticide-controlled release formulations with foliage adhesion has become the focus of current research in the field of crop protection. In this study, an excellent adhesive nanocapsule loaded with emamectin benzoate (Eb@PDA) was prepared via emulsion interfacial polymerization based on the self-polymerization ability and adhesion properties of polydopamine (PDA). RESULTS The physicochemical properties of the Eb@PDA were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, particle size statistics, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The Eb@PDA presented a regular spherical shape, with an average particle size of 163.8 nm. Compared with conventional formulations, it had higher pesticide-loading content (34%) and excellent adhesion onto corn leaf. In addition, Eb@PDA showed sustained-release characteristics, facilitating the release of Eb at low pH and high temperature. Eb@PDA could effectively protect Eb against photodegradation and had a longer effective period for controlling Spodoptera frugiperda and Spodoptera exigua. Furthermore, acute toxicity tests showed that the 50% lethal concentration (LC50 ) was 80.91 and 57.91 mg kg-1 at 7 and 14 days, respectively, indicating a lower toxicity of the Eb@PDA to earthworms. The cells (L02) treated with Eb@PDA showed a higher cell viability but a lower apoptosis rate (only 5.75%), demonstrating the lower cytotoxicity of the Eb@PDA. CONCLUSION The self-prepared Eb@PDA could be used as a formulation with the advantages of slow release, UV shielding, strong leaf adhesion, superior insecticidal properties, sustained effectiveness and biosafety. It will also facilitate the development of an efficient and safe pesticide delivery system. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The spider mite, Tetranychus pueraricola (Ehara & Gotoh; Acari: Tetranychidae), is a serious pest in agriculture and horticulture. Application of chemical pesticides is the main mode of this pest control. Due to pesticide residues and resistance-induced resurgence of pests, there is a need to discover alternatives for spider mite management. GC16 comprises a mixture of calcium chloride (CaCl2, 45%) and lecithin (55%), which was recently found to have acaricidal properties. We evaluated the sublethal effects of GC16 on T. pueraricola using life table and enzyme [catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), carboxylesterase (CarE), glutathione S-transferases (GST), and Ca2+-ATPase (Ca2+-ATP)] activity assays. The results showed that fecundity of T. pueraricola increased at LC30 but decreased at LC50 of GC16. The intrinsic rate of increase (r) of T. pueraricola decreased under the LC30 and LC50 of GC16. GC16 concentration and exposure time significantly influenced the activities of CAT, POD, CarE, GST, and Ca2+-ATP in adult mites. Twelve hours later after the treatment, GST and Ca2+-ATP activities were significantly inhibited by LC30 but enhanced by LC50. Moreover, the demographic parameter r and enzyme activities were negatively correlated. In sum, sublethal amounts of GC16 had an adverse effect on mites, and there was a trade-off between developmental performance and physiological enzyme activity of mites under GC16 stress, and GC16 showed an acaricidal potential for T. pueraricola. This work provides guidance for the application of GC16 to control T. pueraricola.
