Abstract
BACKGROUND Potato virus Y (PVY) is a prominent representative of plant viruses. It can inflict severe damage upon Solanaceae plants, leading to global dissemination and substantial economic losses. To discover new antiviral agents, a class of planar chiral thiourea molecules through the key step of N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed nitrile formation reaction was synthesized with excellent optical purities for antiviral evaluations against plant virus PVY. RESULTS The absolute configurations of the planar chiral compounds exhibited obvious distinctions in the anti-PVY activities. Notability, compound (S)-4u exhibited remarkable curative activities against PVY, with a half maximal effective concentration (EC50) of 349.3 μg mL-1, which was lower than that of the ningnanmycin (NNM) (EC50 = 400.8 μg mL-1). Additionally, The EC50 value for the protective effects of (S)-4u was 146.2 μg mL-1, which was superior to that of NNM (276.4 μg mL-1). Furthermore, the mechanism-of-action of enantiomers of planar chiral compound 4u was investigated through molecular docking, defensive enzyme activity tests and chlorophyll content tests. CONCLUSION Biological mechanism studies have demonstrated that the configuration of planar chiral target compounds plays a crucial role in the molecular interaction with PVY-CP, enhancing the activity of defense enzymes and affecting chlorophyll content. The current study has provided significant insights into the roles played by planar chiralities in plant protection against viruses. This paves the way for the development of novel green pesticides bearing planar chiralities with excellent optical purities. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 39057262 PMCID: PMC11277007 DOI: 10.3390/insects15070529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Flonicamid is a novel systemic insecticide widely used against aphids. However, the intergenerational sublethal effects of flonicamid on cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii, have not been fully studied. This study aimed to evaluate the sublethal effects of flonicamid on the biological parameters of adult A. gossypii (F0) and its subsequent intergenerational effects on the offspring (F1 generation) through age-stage, two-sex life table analysis. The results of the bioassays indicate that flonicamid exhibits significant toxicity toward adult A. gossypii, as evidenced by an LC50 value of 0.372 mg L-1 after a 48-h exposure period. The longevity, fecundity, and reproductive days of adult cotton aphids (F0) were significantly decreased when treated with the sublethal concentrations of flonicamid. The pre-adult stage exhibited an increase, whereas the adult longevity, total longevity, and fecundity experienced a notable decrease in F1 aphids after the exposure of F0 aphids to sublethal concentrations of flonicamid. Furthermore, the key demographic parameters, including r, λ, R0, and RPd, showed a significant decrease, while the total pre-reproductive period (TPRP) experienced a significant increase in the F1 generation. Collectively, our findings indicate that sublethal concentrations of flonicamid impact the demographic parameters of A. gossypii, resulting in suppression of population growth. This study presents comprehensive information on the overall impact of flonicamid on A. gossypii, which could potentially aid in managing this major pest.

[PMID: 38088492 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7933] [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: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The white-backed planthopper (WPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth), is a destructive rice pest with strong reproductive capacity. To gain insights into the roles of chitinases in the reproductive process of this insect species, this study represents the first-ever endeavor to conduct an in-depth exploration into the reproductive functions of four chitinase genes. RESULTS In this study, it was observed that four chitinase genes were expressed in female adults, with a relatively high expression level in the ovaries. SfCht2 and SfIDGF1 were highly expressed during later ovarian development. while SfENGase increased and then decreased with ovarian development. SfCht2, SfCht6-2 and SfENGase were highly expressed in fat body on the first and second days after eclosion, whereas SfIDGF1 highest on day 7. Compared with control group, Silencing four chitinase genes inhibited ovarian development and significantly shortened the oviposition period of S. furcifera, reducing egg-laying capacity but not affecting egg hatching. The detection demonstrated that the expression levels of SfVg, SfVgR and 70-90% juvenile hormone (JH) signaling pathway-related reproductive genes was significantly down-regulated. Moreover, SfCht6-2 and SfENGase significantly affected the expression levels of Target of Rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathway genes. SfENGase had the ability to impact nutrient signaling pathways and fatty acid metabolism, repressing vitellogenin synthesis and ultimately influencing ovarian development of S. furcifera. CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study provides insight into the function of chitinases in insect fecundity and is of great significance for enriching the cognition of insect chitinase function. They will become the suitable target genes for controlling the most destructive rice planthoppers. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In addition to the acute lethal toxicity, insecticides might affect population dynamics of insect pests by inducing life history trait changes under low concentrations, however, the underlying mechanisms remain not well understood. Here we examined systemic impacts on development and reproduction caused by low concentration exposures to cyantraniliprole in the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, and the putative underlying mechanisms were investigated. The results showed that exposure of third-instar larvae to LC10 and LC30 of cyantraniliprole significantly extended larvae duration by 1.46 and 5.41 days, respectively. Treatment with LC30 of cyantraniliprole significantly decreased the pupae weight and pupation rate as well as the longevity, fecundity and egg hatchability of female adults. Consistently, we found that exposure of FAW to LC30 cyantraniliprole downregulated the mRNA expression of four ecdysteroid biosynthesis genes including SfNobo, SfShd, SfSpo and SfDib and one ecdysone response gene SfE75 in the larvae as well as the gene encoding vitellogenin (SfVg) in the female adults. We also found that treatment with LC30 of cyantraniliprole significantly decreased the whole body levels of glucose, trehalose, glycogen and triglyceride in the larvae. Our results indicate that low concentration of cyantraniliprole inhibited FAW development by disruption of ecdysteroid biosynthesis as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, which have applied implications for the control of FAW.

Abstract
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that efficiently controls piercing-sucking mouthparts pests. However, the impact of low lethal concentration of imidacloprid on key demographic parameters of wheat aphids, Schizaphis graminum (R.) and Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) has been scarcely studied. In this study, we used the age stage, two-sex life table approach to investigate the sublethal effects of imidacloprid on the biological traits of S. graminum and R. padi. Bioassays showed that imidacloprid possesses high toxicity to adult S. graminum and R. padi, with LC50 of 3.59 and 13.78 mg L-1 following 24 h exposure. A low lethal concentration of imidacloprid (LC25) significantly decreased adult longevity and total longevity of progeny generation aphids (F1) of S. graminum. Nevertheless, imidacloprid (LC25) had no significant effects on the fecundity and longevity of directly exposed parental parental S. graminum and R. padi (F0). Our results showed that the low lethal concentration of imidacloprid affected the demographic parameters that ultimately impact on the population of S. graminum. This study provides detailed information about the overall effects of imidacloprid on S. graminum and R. padi that might help to manage these two key pests.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 191:105347.

Abstract
Dicer1 plays a vital role in the formation of mature miRNA and regulates the growth, development, and reproduction of insects. However, it remains to be clarified whether Dicer1 is involved in regulating the biological processes underlying molting and reproduction of Sogatella furcifera (Horváth). Herein, SfDicer1 expression fluctuated in all the developmental stages of S. furcifera and increased as molting progressed. SfDicer1 exhibited high expression in the integument, head, fat body, and ovary of the insects. SfDicer1 dsRNA injection into 1-day-old fourth instar nymphs of S. furcifera substantially decreased the survival rate and expression of the lethal phenotypes of wing malformation and molting defects and significantly inhibited the expression of four conserved miRNAs associated with molting development. Subsequently, following the knockdown of SfDicer1 in the newly emerged (1-12 h) females of S. furcifera, SfVg and SfVgR expression levels were decreased, thereby delaying ovarian development, decreasing the number of eggs, and considerably reducing the hatching rate compared with those of the control. Finally, after silencing SfDicer1 for 48 h, the comparative transcriptome analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed considerable enrichment of the Gene Ontology terms structural constituent of cuticle, structural molecule activity, chitin metabolic process, amino sugar metabolic process, and intracellular anatomical structure, indicating that SfDicer1 inhibition affects the transcription of genes associated with growth and development. Thus, our results suggest that SfDicer1 is essential in the molting, survival, ovarian development, and fecundity of S. furcifera and is a suitable target gene for developing an RNAi-based strategy targeting the most destructive rice insect pest.

Abstract
It is well known that sublethal dose of insecticides induces life history trait changes of both target and non-target insect species, however, the underlying mechanisms remain not well understood. In this study, the effects of low concentrations of the anthranilic diamide insecticide chlorantraniliprole on the development and reproduction of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, were evaluated, and the underlying mechanisms were explored. The results showed that exposure of FAW to LC10 and LC30 chlorantraniliprole prolonged the larvae duration, decreased the mean weight of the larvae and pupae, and lowered the pupation rate as well as emergence rate. The fecundity of female adults was also negatively affected by treatment with low concentrations of chlorantraniliprole. Consistently, we found that exposure of FAW to LC30 chlorantraniliprole downregulated the mRNA expression of juvenile hormone (JH) esterase (SfJHE), leading to the increase of JH titer in larvae. We also found that treatment with low concentrations of chlorantraniliprole suppressed the expression of ribosomal protein S6 kinase1 (SfS6K1) in female adults, resulting in the downregulation of the gene encoding vitellogenin (SfVg). These results provided insights into the mechanisms underlying the effects of low concentrations of insecticides on insect pests, and had applied implications for the control of FAW.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Halyomorpha halys, (brown marmorated stink bug, BMSB), is a high-concern invasive species causing severe damage to orchards in many countries outside its native Asian range. Management methods other than frequent sprays of broad-spectrum insecticides are needed to restore integrated pest management (IPM) practices in orchards. Chitin synthesis inhibitors are usually regarded as desirable options in IPM programs because of lower toxicity to beneficial insects and non-target organisms compared to neurotoxic insecticides. In this study, the activity of three chitin synthesis inhibitors (namely buprofezin, novaluron and triflumuron) was investigated on BMSB egg masses, third instars and adults by means of laboratory bioassays. RESULTS Novaluron and to a lesser extent triflumuron were detrimental to BMSB nymphs exposed to residues on potted peach plants. Novaluron caused high mortality among early instars that emerged from sprayed egg masses. No significant differences were found between buprofezin and water control on eggs or third instars. When sprayed on BMSB adults, none of the chitin synthesis inhibitors affected survival, fecundity, or egg hatching. CONCLUSION Given the activity on nymphs, but the lack of effects on adults, novaluron and triflumuron might be considered for field applications only as a tool in a wider management strategy along with other methods aimed at preventing the invasion of crops by BMSB adults. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The control of triatomine vectors of Chagas disease is mainly based on the use of pyrethroid insecticides. Because chemical control is the primary method for managing these insects, it is crucial to diversify the range of products utilized to mitigate the risk of resistance development. This study evaluated the toxicity of two insecticides with different modes of action on Triatoma dimidiata Latreille and T. pallidipennis Stal first and third instar nymphs. Our study focused on the effects of two insecticides, buprofezin (a growth regulator) and flunocamid (an anti-feeder), on the mortality rate of triatomine bugs in a laboratory setting. Moreover, we investigated how direct and indirect (film method) exposure to these insecticides impacted the survival of the insects. Flonicamid emerged as a promising insecticide for triatomine control since it caused 100% mortality in first-instar nymphs 48 h after direct exposure. While, in third instar nymphs, the maximum mortality was 88% at 72 h after exposure. Our result can be used as a basis for future triatomine control plans.

Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the most important food crop all over the world, while white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) is an important pest causing rice yield reduction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sublethal effects of strain BEdy1 Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) on S. furcifera using the two-sex life table analytical method, compare the life tables of the F0 and F1 generations of WBPHs which were treated with sublethal concentrations (LC10, LC25) of B. bassiana BEdy1 with a control group. The results showed that the duration of the egg, 4th-instar and 5th-instar nymph, pre-adult, total pre-oviposition (TPOP) and mean generation time (T) for the LC25 treatment were significantly longer than those of the control and LC10 treatment. However, the duration of the adult, the longevity of male and female adults and the oviposition days of female adults for the LC25 treatment were significantly shortened. The fecundity of female adults, intrinsic rate of increase (r), net reproductive rate (R0) and finite rate of increase (λ) for the LC25 treatment were significantly decreased compared with those of other treatments. The duration of the egg and pre-adult stage for the LC10 treatment were longer than those of the control group, but the population parameters showed no significant difference. Therefore, the LC25 of B. bassiana BEdy1 can inhibit the population growth of S. furcifera.

Abstract
The small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén), Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is an important agricultural pest of rice, and neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly used for controlling L. striatellus. However, the sublethal effects of thiamethoxam on L. striatellus remain relatively unknown. In this study, an age-stage life table procedure was used to evaluate the sublethal effects of thiamethoxam on the biological parameters of L. striatellus. Additionally, activities of carboxylesterase, glutathione S-transferase, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase in the third instar nymphs were analyzed. The results indicated that the survival time of F0 adults and the fecundity of female adults decreased significantly after the third instar nymphs were treated with sublethal concentrations of thiamethoxam (LC15 0.428 mg/liter and LC30 0.820 mg/liter). The developmental duration, adult preoviposition period, total preoviposition period, and mean generation time of the F1 generation increased significantly, whereas the fecundity of the female adults, intrinsic rate of increase (ri), and finite rate of increase (λ) decreased significantly. The oviposition period was significantly shorter for the insects treated with LC30 than for the control insects. Neither sublethal concentrations had significant effects on the adult longevity, net reproduction rate (R0), or gross reproduction rate (GRR) of the F1 generation. The activities of carboxylesterase, glutathione-S-transferase, and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase increased significantly after the thiamethoxam treatments. These results indicate that sublethal concentrations of thiamethoxam can inhibit L. striatellus population growth and enhance detoxification enzyme activities.

Abstract
Trehalase (Tre) is a crucial enzyme involved in trehalose metabolism, and it plays pivotal roles in insect development and metamorphosis. However, the biological function of Tre genes in Sogatella furcifera remains unclear. In the present study, two Tre genes—SfTre1 and SfTre2—were cloned and identified based on the S. furcifera transcriptome data. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that the full-length complementary DNA of SfTre1 and SfTre2 genes were 3700 and 2757 bp long, with 1728- and 1902-bp open reading frame encoding 575 and 633 amino acid residues, respectively. Expression analysis indicated that SfTre1 and SfTre2 were expressed at all developmental stages, with the highest expression in day two adults. Furthermore, the highest expression levels of SfTre1 and SfTre2 were observed in the ovary; enriched expression was also noted in head tissues. The knockdown of SfTre1 and SfTre2 via injecting double-stranded RNAs decreased the transcription levels of the corresponding mRNAs and led to various malformed phenotypes and high lethality rates. The results of our present study indicate that SfTre1 and SfTre2 play crucial roles in S. furcifera growth and development, which can provide referable information for Tre genes as a potential target for planthopper control.

Abstract
Clothianidin is a second-generation neonicotinoid insecticide that can effectively prevent piercing-sucking pests, such as white-backed planthopper (WBPH), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth). In this study, the sublethal effects of clothianidin on the biological traits of S. furcifera were evaluated via the age-stage, two-sex life table procedure. Our results exhibited that the female adult longevity, fecundity and hatchability of F0 generation were significantly decreased after LC10 and (or) LC30 of clothianidin exposure compared to the control. Transgenerational effects showed that the pre-adult period, female adult longevity, total longevity, oviposition days (Od), fecundity and mean generation time (T) of F1 generation were significantly decreased in the LC10 and LC30 groups compared to the control. Moreover, the development times of the third- and fifth-instar nymphs, total preoviposition period (TPOP) and doubling time (DT) were significantly shorter in the LC10 group than in the control and LC30 groups. Furthermore, the intrinsic rate of increase (ri) and finite rate of increase (λ) values of the LC10 group were significantly higher than those of the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the male adult longevity, adult preoviposition period (APOP) and net reproductive rate (R0) between the treated groups and the control. Enzyme activity and gene expression results showed that the P450 enzyme activity and mRNA levels of many P450 genes were significantly increased by clothianidin treatment. In addition, the knockdown of CYP4CE3 and CYP6FJ3, which showed the highest inducing levels, by RNA interference (RNAi) dramatically increased the toxicity of clothianidin against S. furcifera. These results indicated that sublethal concentrations of clothianidin showed a stimulatory effect on the development, but it could adversely affect the survival and reproduction of S. furcifera. Additionally, CYP4CE3 and CYP6FJ3 might play an important role in the detoxification and evolution of clothianidin resistance in S. furcifera.

Abstract
Many species of devastating insect pests have acquired a high degree of resistance to insecticides in the field during the last few decades. Spodoptera exigua, for example, is the most damaging pests of economic crops with a worldwide spread. In a present study, the comparative growth, reproduction, and detoxification enzyme activity were evaluated along with exposure to three insecticides at low lethal doses of lufenuron, indoxacarb, and spinosad as compared to the control. Results indicate that the larval developmental time was significantly extended on lufenuron (21.5 ± 29 days) followed by indoxacarb (20.28 ± 0.24 days) and spinosad (19.74 ± 0.23 days) as compared to that on the control (18.13 ± 0.13 days). Similarly, the lowest number of eggs of S. exigua females were recorded on lufenuron (328.75 ± 50.81 eggs) followed by spinosad (367 ± 36.4 eggs) and indoxacarb (411.58 ± 42.38 eggs) as compared to that on the control (560.2 ± 13.47). Interestingly, the lowest intrinsic rate of increase (r) (0.121 ± 0.009) and highest mean generation time (T) (36.2 ± 0.35 days) were observed when larvae were treated to a low lethal concentration (LC20) of lufenuron as compared to that of indoxacarb, spinosad, and control. In addition, considerably lower activity of all detoxification enzymes in larvae was recorded on lufenuron after control as compared to that on indoxacarb and spinosad. Our study serves as a reference and basis for the toxicity and low lethal evaluation of lufenuron, indoxacarb, and spinosad on life table parameters and enzymatic properties in S. exigua, which may contribute to identifying targets for effective control of S. exigua.

INSECTS 2022; 13:insects13060498. [PMID: 35735835 PMCID: PMC9225309 DOI: 10.3390/insects13060498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary The sublethal effects of insecticides are not only environmentally risky to arthropods but may also promote resistance evolution. Sublethal effects are influenced by factors such as the type of insecticide, sublethal concentration, and type of pest. This study evaluated the sublethal effects of sulfoxaflor and acetamiprid on two field cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) populations with different genetic backgrounds. For acetamiprid, a significant negative sublethal effect of an LC25 concentration of acetamiprid on longevity and fecundity was observed in the F0 generation of Jinghe, and a significant negative sublethal effect occurred in the F1 and F2 generations of Yarkant, some biological traits of which were significantly degraded. However, in terms of biological traits, significant stimulative sublethal effects of an LC25 concentration of sulfoxaflor were observed in the F0 generation of Jinghe and the F1 generation of Yarkant. These experimental results demonstrate that sulfoxaflor and acetamiprid have different sublethal effects on A. gossypii that vary depending on the generation. Moreover, the sublethal effects of an insecticide may be influenced by the genetic background and resistance levels of A. gossypii. Our findings are useful for assessing the overall effects of sulfoxaflor and acetamiprid on A. gossypii. Abstract The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii, is an important insect pest of many crops around the world, and it has developed resistance to a large number of frequently used insecticides. The sublethal effects of insecticides not only have an environmental risk to arthropods but also have the potential to promote resistance evolution. The sublethal effects (inhibitory or stimulatory) are influenced by many factors, such as the type of insecticide, sublethal concentrations, pest species, and others. In this study, the sublethal effects of sulfoxaflor and acetamiprid on A. gossypii were compared using two field-collected populations. The results show that sulfoxaflor was more toxic than acetamiprid against A. gossypii in both populations, the LC50 concentrations of acetamiprid and sulfoxaflor were 6.35 and 3.26 times higher, respectively, for the Jinghe population than for Yarkant. The LC25 concentration of acetamiprid significantly reduced adult longevity and fecundity in exposed adults (F0) of the Jinghe population, but it had no significant effects on these factors in Yarkant. Similar inhibitory effects were found in the F1 and F2 generations, but the biological traits in the Yarkant population were significantly reduced when the parents (F0) were exposed to LC25 of acetamiprid, whereas the changes in the Jinghe population were not significant. However, sublethal sulfoxaflor showed a stimulatory effect on A. gossypii in the F0 and F1 generation; the adult fecundity and longevity of the F0 generation were significantly higher in Jinghe, while the biological traits of the F1 generation were obviously higher in Yarkant. In the F2 generation, the r and λ were significantly higher in Jinghe; meanwhile, these biological traits were reduced in Yarkant. These results indicate that sulfoxaflor and acetamiprid had different sublethal effects on A. gossypii that varied by generation. In addition, we speculate that the genetic background and the resistance levels of A. gossypii may also influence the sublethal effects. Our findings are useful for assessing the overall effects of sulfoxaflor and acetamiprid on A. gossypii.

Abstract
The western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is one of the most harmful pests of crops in greenhouses and fields. Considering the need for studies that introduce new insecticides for control of the WFT, the leaf dip method was carried out to study the acute toxicity of Proteus, matrine, and pyridalyl to adult thrips, and life tables were constructed to assess the impacts of sublethal concentrations (LC25) of these insecticides on the development and reproduction of the F1 generation. Bioassays showed that the toxicity of matrine (LC50: 45.9 µl ml-1) and Proteus (LC50: 54.5 µl ml-1) was higher than pyridalyl (LC50: 176.5 µl ml-1). At LC25 concentration, both Proteus and matrine prolonged the development period and reduced the survival rate of eggs, larval stages, and pupae in the F1 generation. Also, the adults' longevity, oviposition duration, and the cumulative number of eggs laid per female (fecundity) were decreased significantly. Sublethal concentrations of Proteus and matrine inhibited the population growth rate relative to the control based on the predicted number of offspring. The lowest net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and finite rate of increase (λ) were estimated for Proteus (7.02 offspring/individual, 0. 0838 d-1, and 1. 08 d-1, respectively). In contrast, the WFT F1 generation that resulted from parent adults treated with pyridalyl was neither affected in their developmental time, nor fecundity, or the intrinsic rate of increase. According to our findings, all tested insecticides, especially Proteus, showed good potential for use in integrated pest management strategies against F. occidentalis.

Abstract
Helicoverpaarmigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is considered as one of the foremost pests of global agriculture. This pest is contemplated for substantial economic loss apart from the socio-economic and environmental costs associated with its control. Farmers adopt several strategies for the control of this pest but the cost associated with these strategies is always a big question. This is the first time when waste-candle soot (CS) derived carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) are explored for the putative toxicity to H. armigera. In the present study, the entomotoxic effects of CNPs on H. armigera were investigated and compared with that of commercially available multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Larvae fed on both the nanomaterials exhibited significant weight reduction and enhanced levels of antioxidant enzymes. Moths developed from the treated larvae exhibit very poor egg-laying capacity and poor egg hatchability. However, these entomotoxic effects were found more noticeable in larvae and moths fed on CNPs that eventually led to the complete cessation of the population build-up of H. armigera. These findings advocate the candidature of CNPs as a cost-effective alternative for efficient control of H. armigera in pest management programs.

Status of insecticide resistance and biochemical characterization of chlorpyrifos resistance in Sogatella furcifera (Hemiptera:Delphacidae) in Sichuan Province, China. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2021; 171:104723. [PMID: 33357545 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2020.104723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Revised: 09/25/2020] [Accepted: 10/10/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The white-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) (Hemiptera, Delphacidae), is an energetic rice insect pest in rice production or rice-growing areas. Due to excessive use of the chemical insecticide, S. furcifera has produced the high resistance to some frequently used insecticides. In this paper, the resistance levels of S. furcifera from the eight different areas of Sichuan Province against the five chemicals were monitored by using the rice seedling dipping during 2017-2018 to understand the resistance levels. The results showed that most of all populations have developed low or moderate level of resistance for chlorpyrifos (3.4 to 44.3-fold) and thiamethoxam (3.9- to 15.5-fold), the populations in the LS (1.7 to 5.4- fold)and WS (1.6 to 5.0- fold) regions were still sensitive or low resistance levels compared with other local populations. Almost all populations displayed the susceptible to imidacloprid (0.9- to 5.0-fold), buprofezin (0.9- to 4.3-fold) or low levels of resistance to pymetrozine (1.5- to 6.8-fold). The synergism experiment indicated that P450 enzymes may be important contributed to the metabolic detoxification of chlorpyrifos. The cross-resistance bioassay showed that there was no cross-resistance between chlorpyrifos and triflumezopyrim, but for sulfoxaflor, in the XY17 population. The relative expression level of twelve insecticide resistant-related P450 genes were analyzed by using qRT-PCR and found that CYP4C77, CYP418A1, CYP418A2, CYP408A3 and CYP6ER4 were significantly more expressed in the 3rd-instar nymph of the XY17 and XY18 field populations. To determine the main resistant-related P450 gene for chlorpyrifos, the relative expression level of five P450 genes were detected by using qRT-PCR from the G2 and G4 generation of XY17 under the pressure with LC50 of chlorpyrifos. The results showed that CYP6ER4 was significantly up-regulated expression in XY17 G2 and G4 generations population over 700-fold (P < 0.01). The full length and proteins tertiary structure were also cloned and predicted. Meanwhile, the function of CYP6ER4 was analyzed by RNA interference and the results indicated that the relative expression of CYP6ER4 in the XY17 (G4) population after injected dsRNA was lower than that in the dsGFP injected group. Moreover, the mortality rates of the S. furcifera treated with the LC50 concentration of chlorpyrifos after dsRNA microinjection was significantly higher than that of the dsGFP injected group 72 h after treatment (P < 0.01). Therefore, the overexpression of CYP6ER4 may be one of the primary factors in the development of chlorpyrifos resistance in S. furcifera.

Abstract
A combination of pesticides and biological control agents is frequently necessary to achieve successful pest management requiring the assessment of their compatibility for the intended purpose. Aphidius flaviventris Kurdjumov is one of the parasitoids of the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover, whose susceptibility to pesticides was not yet investigated. Accordingly, we investigated the lethal and sublethal effects of the commonly utilized insecticide mixture thiacloprid + deltamethrin on the cotton aphid and its parasitoid wasp Aphidius flaviventris. The estimated LC50 for the aphid was 14.1 mg ai/l; the effects of sublethal exposure at LC10 (2.80 mg ai/l) and LC30 (7.28 mg ai/l) on the aphid life-table parameters led to significantly increase on the development time of third- and fourth-instar nymphs and preadult. Sublethal exposure to the insecticide mixture compromised aphid longevity, fecundity, and life-table parameters (r, R0, and T). Moreover, population growth and parasitism rate of the parasitoid were significantly compromised at both concentrations of the insecticide mixture under sublethal exposure. These results not only indicate the efficacy of thiacloprid + deltamethrin against the cotton aphid, but also raise concerns regarding its negative impacts on the parasitoid Aphidius flaviventris and caution against its use in pest management programs.

Effects of Sublethal Doses of Methyl Benzoate on the Life History Traits and Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Activity of Aphis gossypii. AGRONOMY-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Safer alternatives to synthetic pesticides are essential for sustainable agriculture. Methyl benzoate (MB) is a volatile essential oil found in several plants. Recent reports of the toxicity of MB to arthropod pests suggest that MB may be a useful alternative insecticide. The present study assessed the effects of a sublethal concentration of MB (LC30, 0.22%) on the life history and reproductive characteristics of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, in both a treated parental generation (F0) and untreated progeny (F1). MB treatment significantly decreased longevity and fecundity in both the F0 and F1 generations, and prolonged the developmental duration of each immature instar of the F1 generations, compared with controls. The intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), and net reproductive rate (R0) of the F1 generation were significantly reduced, compared to controls. The mode of action of MB is not known, but in aphids treated with LC30 MB, the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) decreased by more than 65%, compared with untreated controls. AChE activity was rapidly inhibited within 1 h, and remained inhibited for 6 h after in vivo exposure to MB. Moreover, molecular docking analysis revealed that MB had a strong affinity with the catalytic site of AChE, with a binding energy value of −6.2 kcal/mole. Our results suggest that MB targets AChE, and that a sublethal dose of MB can have adverse transgenerational effects on cotton aphids.

Abstract
Azadirachtin is one of the successful botanical pesticides in agricultural use with a broad-spectrum insecticide activity, but its possible transgenerational effects have not been under much scrutiny. The effects of sublethal doses of azadirachtin on life-table traits and oviposition behaviour of a model organism in toxicological studies, D. melanogaster, were evaluated. The fecundity and oviposition preference of flies surviving to single azadirachtin-treated larvae of parental generation was adversely affected and resulted in the reduction of the number of eggs laid and increased aversion to this compound over two successive generations. In parental generation, early exposure to azadirachtin affects adult's development by reducing the number of organisms, delay larval and pupal development; male biased sex ratio and induced morphological alterations. Moreover, adult's survival of the two generations was significantly decreased as compared to the control. Therefore, Single preimaginal azadirachtin treatment can affect flies population dynamics via transgenerational reductions in survival and reproduction capacity as well as reinforcement of oviposition avoidance which can contribute as repellent strategies in integrated pest management programs. The transgenerational effects observed suggest a possible reduction both in application frequency and total amount of pesticide used, would help in reducing both control costs and possible ecotoxicological risks.

Abstract
The wheat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a devastating pest of wheat crops worldwide. Dinotefuran, a novel neonicotinoid insecticide, has been used to prevent piercing-sucking agricultural insects, such as R. padi. This research showed that the dinotefuran not only caused direct mortality but also affected the physiology of R. padi via sublethal effects. In this study, residual film bioassay results indicated that there were no significant differences in the toxicity of dinotefuran between field in 2017 and laboratory strains. However, the longevity, fecundity and female preoviposition of the F0 generation were significantly decreased by exposure to different sublethal doses (L10, L20 and L30) of dinotefuran. In contrast, the fecundity and female preoviposition of the F1 generation were significantly increased by the sublethal treatment L20, although this dose reduced net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase and finite rate of increase. These findings are the first laboratory evidence of hormesis attributable to low dinotefuran doses. Developmental duration of nymphs was significantly increased by the sublethal doses L20 and L30 but not L10. Sublethal exposure to dinotefuran can increase the transgenerational population growth of R. padi and affected demographic parameters of the target insect. This study provides useful data for developing management strategies for R. padi involving the use of dinotefuran.

Impact of low lethal concentrations of buprofezin on biological traits and expression profile of chitin synthase 1 gene (CHS1) in melon aphid, Aphis gossypii. Sci Rep 2019; 9:12291.

Abstract
Buprofezin, a chitin synthesis inhibitor that can be used for the control of hemipteran pests, especially melon aphid, Aphis gossypii. The impact of low lethal concentrations of buprofezin on the biological parameters and expression profile of CHS1 gene were estimated for two successive generations of A. gossypii. The present result shows that the LC15 and LC30 of buprofezin significantly decreased the fecundity and longevity of both generations. Exposure of F0 individuals to both concentrations delay the developmental period in F1. Furthermore, the survival rate, intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), and net reproductive rate (R0) were reduced significantly in progeny generation at both concentrations. However, the reduction in gross reproductive rate (GRR) was observed only at LC30. Although, the mean generation time (T) prolonged substantially at LC30. Additionally, expression of the CHS1 gene was significantly increased in F0 adults. Significant increase in the relative abundance of CHS1 mRNA transcript was also observed at the juvenile and adult stages of F1 generation following exposure to LC15 and LC30. Therefore, our results show that buprofezin could affect the biological traits by diminishing the chitin contents owing to the inhibition of chitin synthase activity in the succeeding generation of melon aphid.

Abstract
Buprofezin is a chitin synthesis inhibitor that is very effective against Homopteran pests, such as the white-backed planthopper (WBPH), S. furcifera (Horvath). In the present study, resistance selection, cross-resistance and mechanisms of buprofezin resistance were investigated in this planthopper species. However, the mechanism associated with resistance to growth regulator insecticides (IGRs) remains largely unknown. A resistant strain (Bup-R) with a resistance level (22-fold) to buprofezin was developed through continuous selection for 47 generations from a laboratory susceptible strain (Bup-S). The results showed that the Bup-R exhibited no cross-resistance to other tested insecticides. Synergism tests showed that piperonyl butoxide (PBO) (SR = 3.9-fold) and diethyl maleate (DEM) (SR = 1.8-fold) had synergistic effects on buprofezin toxicity in the resistant strain (F47). Enzyme activity results revealed an approximate 5.7-fold difference in cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and a 2-fold difference in glutathione S-transferase (GST) between the resistant and susceptible strains, suggesting that the increased activity of these two enzymes is likely the main detoxification mechanism involved in resistance to buprofezin in this species. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and GST genes by quantitative real-time PCR results indicated that sixteen P450 and one GST gene were significantly overexpressed in the Bup-R strain, among which thirteen P450 genes and one GST gene were >2-fold higher than in the Bup-S strain. The present study increases our knowledge of the buprofezin resistance mechanism in S. furcifera and provides a useful reference for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

Abstract
The cosmopolitan pest Aphis gossypii (Glover) causes considerable economic losses on various crops by its feeding damage and transmitting diseases around the world. Flupyradifurone is a novel butenolide pesticide; its toxicity on A. gossypii parent generation (F0) was estimated following treatment with LC25 concentration for 48 h. The adult longevity and fecundity of the F0 individuals treated by flupyradifurone showed no significant decrease in comparison with the control. Life table method was used to evaluate the sublethal effects on progeny population (F1). Results showed that the development time of the fourth instar and the preadult as well as the total pre-reproductive period were significantly prolonged, while their fecundity was significantly decreased compared with the control. Additionally, the intrinsic rate of increase (r), the finite rate of increase (λ), and the net reproductive rate (R0) of F1 were all significantly lower in the group treated by LC25 than in the control group. These results reveal that the sublethal concentration of flupyradifurone could suppress the population growth of A. gossypii and indicate that this novel insecticide may be as a useful tool in pest management.

Abstract
Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley is the dominant borer pest of Litchi chinesis and Euphoria longan. Current management of C. sinensis relies upon insecticide application to adult moths. In addition to the direct mortality induced by insecticides, a sublethal dose of insecticides also affects growth, survival, and reproduction in the exposed insects. Vitellogenin (Vg) and vitellogenin receptor (VgR) are normally identified as essential reproduction-related proteins in insects. In this study, we characterized these two genes from C. sinensis, and investigated their differential responses to sublethal concentrations of insecticide. Cloned CsVg and CsVgR consist of 5391 and 5424-bp open reading frames, which encode proteins of 1796 and 1807 amino acid residues, respectively. The CsVg protein contains the typical vitellogenin, DUF1943 and VWFD domains as other reported lepidopteran Vgs. The CsVgR was characterized as a typical low density lipoprotein receptor with two highly conserved LBD and EGF precursor domains, one hydrophobic transmembrane domain, one cytoplasmic domain, and 13 putative N-glycosylation sites. We next assessed the sublethal effect of four major insecticides on egg-laying in C. sinensis. The toxicity against C. sinensis varied among the insecticides tested, with LC50 values ranging from 0.23 ppm for chlorpyrifos to 20.00 ppm for β-cypermethrin, among which emamectin benzoate (EB) showed a significant negative impact on egg-laying, survival rate, ovarian development, and mating rate of C. sinensis at LC30 doses. Further investigation showed that the transcriptional level of CsVg and CsVgR were impaired in different way at 24, 48, and 72 h after EB exposure, and this result was in agreement with the diminished egg-laying of C. sinensis in the sublethal concentration EB-treated group. A repressed transcription level of CsVgR was observed at 48 h after treatment, suggesting that EB elicits a delayed response in the abundance of CsVgR. These results established different roles of CsVg and CsVgR in response to the sublethal effect of insecticides. CsVg might be a better parameter than CsVgR for assessing the effect of sublethal insecticides on reproduction in C. sinensis.
