PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024; 80:2724-2737. [PMID: 38372475 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7977] [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: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Sprengel) are favored by consumers because of its delicious taste and unique fragrance. Bradysia odoriphaga (Diptera: Sciaridae) is a main pest that severely harms Chinese chives and other Liliaceae's production. Climate change may change the future distribution of B. odoriphaga in China. In this study, the CLIMEX was employed to project the potential distribution of B. odoriphaga in China, based on China's historical climate data (1987-2016) and forecast climate data (2021-2100). RESULTS Bradysia odoriphaga distributed mainly between 19.8° N-48.3° N and 74.8° E-134.3° E, accounting for 73.25% of the total mainland area of China under historical climate conditions. Among them, the favorable and highly favorable habitats accounted for 30.64% of the total potential distribution. Under future climate conditions, B. odoriphaga will be distributed mainly between 19.8° N-49.3° N and 73.8° E-134.3° E, accounting for 84.89% of China's total mainland area. Among them, the favorable and highly favorable habitats will account for 35.23% of the total potential distribution, indicating an increase in the degree of fitness. Areas with relatively appropriate temperature and humidity will be more suitable for the survival of B. odoriphaga. Temperature was a more important determinant of the climatic suitability of the pest B. odoriphaga than humidity. Host plants (Liliaceae) availability also had impact on climate suitability in some regions. CONCLUSIONS These projected potential distributions will provide supportive information for monitoring and early forecasting of pest outbreaks, and to reduce future economic and ecological losses. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) is a highly damaging agricultural pest in many tropical and subtropical countries around the world and high temperatures usually affect its survival. To clarify the effect of short-term high temperatures on the survival and lifespan of Z. cucurbitae, newly emerged adults of three consecutive generations (F1, F2, and F3) were exposed to 25 °C, 33 °C, 37 °C, 41 °C, or 45 °C treatments for 1 h. The effect of these temperatures on survival and lifespan was evaluated using biological indicators such as lifespan and pupation rate. Then, to study the molecular regulatory mechanism of the lifespan of Z. cucurbitae after short-term high-temperature treatment, we exposed the newly emerged adults to 25 °C or 45 °C treatments for 1 h and used siRNA to interfere with the expression of the vitellogenin receptor (VgR) gene in the female to study the effect of the VgR gene on the lifespan of Z. cucurbitae. The results showed that the survival rate, lifespan, pupae weight, pupation rate, and emergence rate of Z. cucurbitae decreased with increased temperature, while the female sex ratio of offspring increased. The heat resistance of females was higher than that of males. Interference with the expression of the VgR gene resulted in shortening of the female's lifespan by approximately 60% after exposure to 25 °C or 45 °C treatments for 1 h, which indicated involvement of the VgR gene in the regulation of Z. cucurbitae lifespan. This study provides a reference to guide integrated control of Z. cucurbitae in high-temperature seasons.

EXPERIMENTAL & APPLIED ACAROLOGY 2022; 86:117-127.

Abstract
The subterranean insect Bradysia cellarum Frey (Diptera: Sciaridae) is a notorious and major pest of Chinese chives, Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Sprengle (Amaryllidaceae) in China. Current chemical control of B. cellarum results in low insecticide efficacy, high cost and pesticide resistance, therefore there is an urgent need for sustainable management. Here, greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential biocontrol agent Stratiolaelaps scimitus Womersley (Acari: Laelapidae) against B. cellarum. The number of B. cellarum larvae in soil declined from 17.6 to 0 in 4 months after releasing predatory mites in high density (5,000 adults per row); treatment was less effective under low densities of 2500 adults per row. To determine whether S. scimitus can be used in combination with soil solarization by film mulching over 40 °C for 4 h, we also evaluated heat tolerance of S. scimitus in laboratory and its control efficacy against B. cellarum after high-temperature treatment mimicking the film mulching in greenhouse. As our results showed that egg hatchability of S. scimitus was 2.6% at 38 °C and adult survival rate was 2% at 40 °C for 4 h, respectively, we concluded S. scimitus was largely inviable and could not reproduce at 40 °C. This temperature was the baseline of soil solarization, suggesting predatory mites should be released after soil solarization. When using S. scimitus after soil solarization or when using soil solarization as single treatment, fly larvae declined similarly from initial density of 18 to 0 or 17.2 to 0, respectively, within a month. Thus, our study suggests the potential of S. scimitus as a biocontrol agent of B. cellarum in greenhouse, and the most effective strategy is to combine film mulching and predatory mites (after soil heating) to control B. cellarum in chive productions.

Abstract
In most organisms, various physiological and behavioral functions are expressed rhythmically. Previous studies have shown that thermoperiod is an important factor affecting circadian clock-related genes that regulate insect locomotor activity. Bradysia odoriphaga Yang & Zhang is an underground pest that attacks more than 30 crops but is especially damaging to Chinese chives. In this study, we analyzed the adult eclosion time and period (Boper) gene expression in B. odoriphaga as affected by temperature (cycling vs constant temperature), insect stage, and tissue specific. We found that the eclosion time and expression of the Boper gene changed during the temperature cycle but not under a constant temperature. Silencing of Boper expression significantly decreased the adult eclosion rate and significantly increased adult mortality and malformation. The findings indicate that thermoperiod alters Boper expression and regulates the eclosion rhythm.

Abstract
The production of Chinese chives is reduced throughout China due to a root-feeding dipteran pest Bradysia odoriphaga Yang et Zhang (Diptera: Sciaridae), therefore deciphering the conditions influencing its growth and development are important in developing ecological control strategies. A study was conducted from 2014 to 2017 to determine the relationship between the abundance of B. odoriphaga and temperature (atmospheric and soil), soil water content, and atmospheric humidity in a Chinese chive field in Beijing City, China. Numbers of adults peaked in March and October to November and were lowest in July to August and December to next February; numbers of larvae were highest in December to next February and lowest in July to August. From 2014 to 2017, the numbers of adults and larvae were significantly correlated with monthly mean atmospheric temperatures and soil temperatures, but were not significantly correlated with monthly mean atmospheric relative humidity and soil water content. However, for both adults and larvae, numbers were significantly greater with high soil water contents compared with drought treatment. The results of this study suggest that the very low soil water contents, high atmospheric temperatures, and high soil temperatures were critical for regulating field populations of B. odoriphaga.

Abstract
Temperature is an important abiotic environmental factor, and is responsible for various kinds of behavioral and physiological changes in living organisms. Induced heat shock is associated with feeding behaviour, reproduction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation that causes oxidative damage. In this experiment, we examined the lethal and sublethal effects of heat shock on reproduction, feeding behaviour and antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidases (POD) in P. solenopsis. Results showed that males were highly susceptible to heat shock treatments than females, as LTemp50 values were 43.8 °C for males and 45.11 °C for females. Heat shock events non-significantly affected the fecundity in female only treated adults and significantly affected the both sexes heat treated adults, it increased the xylem feeding duration, percentage of xylem feeding adults and reduce the phloem feeding duration and percentage of phloem feeding adults. Similarly it alter the antioxidant enzymes activities, an increase of CAT, SOD and POD activities were noticed in response to highest intensity of heat shock while a reduction of CAT and SOD activity were noticed in response to lowest intensity of heat shock compared to control (30 °C). These results suggest that heat shock may result in loss of body water and induce oxidative stress in P. solenopsis. However, antioxidant enzymes play a significant role in overcoming the oxidative damage.

Abstract
The gnat, Bradysia odoriphaga Yang et Zhang, is an important underground pest in Asia. B. odoriphaga differ in heat and cold tolerance and exhibit quite different developmental strategies. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we sequenced and compared the transcriptome of B. odoriphaga under 40 °C (a stressful high temperature), 25 °C, and 4 °C (a stressful low temperature) for 1 h. We found that metabolism- and ribosome-related genes were modulated. In high temperature (40 °C), heat shock protein (HSP) genes, detoxication genes, metabolism genes, protein turnover genes, and stress signal transduction genes were differentially expressed. In low temperature (4 °C), genes related with heat shock protein (HSP) and detoxication were differentially expressed. Our study increases our understanding of the complex molecular mechanisms involved in the responses of B. odoriphaga to acute temperature stress and provides a potential strategy for pest management.

Abstract
Bactrocera tau (Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an economically important invasive pest, that is capable of seriously reducing the quality and yield of vegetables and fruits, it was first recorded from Fujian province in 1849 and later introduced to Yunnan province in 1912 as a result in trade fruits and vegetables of China. In recent years, with the onset of global climate change and the accompanying increase in the greenhouse effect, elevated climatic temperatures have become one of the main environmental factors affecting growth and reproduction in insects, and the optimal developmental temperature of B. tau was found to be from 25 °C to 31 °C, the growth, development and reproduction of B. tau are normal under the optimal temperature conditions. In order to determine the repercussions that elevated temperature have on B. tau, we assessed the effects that short-term (12 h) high-temperature exposures (34 °C, 36 °C, 38 °C, 40 °C, 42 °C, 44 °C, 46 °C, and 48 °C) had on the growth, development and reproduction of B. tau at different developmental stages of the fly. The results showed that the survival rate of B. tau gradually decreased in all stages following exposure to short-term high-temperatures. The pupal stage was the least sensitive to increased temperatures. The pupae withstood the highest lethal temperature, having an LT50 of 42.060 °C, followed by female adults (40.447 °C), male adults (40.013 °C), and larvae (36.740 °C). The egg stage, which was the most susceptible to heat increases, had the lowest LT50 (38.310 °C). No significant effects were observed in the developmental stages of B. tau at temperatures from 24 °C to 38 °C. The development duration was significantly prolonged at 40 °C (P < 0.05) in the eggs (2.830d), larvae (7.330d), and pupae (8.170d) (P < 0.05). B. tau was unable to survive at temperatures above 42 °C. The pre-oviposition of female adults was extended, the average egg number per female showed a downward trend, the longevity of adults gradually shortened, and the ratio of female to male offspring increased as temperature increments were increased. In summary, short-term high-temperatures over 42 °C were not suitable for successful development of B. tau, while short-term high-temperatures over 40 °C were not suitable for successful reproduction in B. tau.

Abstract
Throughout China, the dipteran pest Bradysia odoriphaga significantly reduces Chinese chive production; therefore, identifying conditions that influence its growth and development is crucial for developing ecological regulation strategies. In this study, different non-lethal high temperatures and treatment durations were used to stress the third-instar larvae of B. odoriphaga, and the effects of this treatment on their growth and offspring were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that the average larval mortality increased with increased temperature and prolonged exposure times. After stress treatment at 40 °C for 2 h, 100% of larvae died within 5 days, which was not significantly different from the 5-day average larval mortality (90.66%) after stress at 37 °C for 4 h, but significantly higher than the 5-day average larval mortality (72.00%) after stress at 40 °C for 1 h. After 5 days, all still-living larvae could pupate, and there was no significant difference in average pupal period after pupation. However, the eclosion rate of subsequent pupae decreased with increased temperature and prolonged exposure times, and were only 43.00% and 42.73% after larvae were stressed at 37 °C for 4 h and 40 °C for 1 h, respectively. After eclosion into adults, there was no significant difference in the lifespan of unmated female adults, while the lifespan of unmated male adults was significantly reduced to 1.67 d and 2 d after larvae were stressed at 37 °C for 4 h and 40 °C for 1 h, respectively. However, there was no significant difference in male and female adult longevity after mating. There was no significant difference in oviposition or egg hatchability. This indicates that non-lethal high temperature at 37 °C for 4 h can hinder development and allow control of B. odoriphaga. There is great potential for non-lethal high temperature to be applied in the field to control agricultural pests.

Abstract
Bradysia odoriphaga Yang & Zhang (Diptera: Sciaridae) is an important pest of Chinese chives. Information on the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on the flight performance of B. odoriphaga is crucial for understanding the pest's ability to disperse and migrate. In this study, the effects of sex and air temperature on the flight performance of B. odoriphaga imagoes were assessed by tethering individual imagoes to computerized flight mills for a 10-h experiment. The results showed that the percentage of imagoes that flew a particular distance gradually decreased as flight distance increased. The percentage of imagoes was significantly higher for males than females when the flight distance was <300 m. Sex and air temperature significantly affected average flight time (which ranged from 14.6 to 68.3 min) and average flight distance (which ranged from 10.4 to 107.2 m), but did not significantly affect average flight speed (which ranged from 3.8 to 6.4 m/min). For both females and males, the average flight distance and flight time were shortest at 18°C and longest at 22°C; the interaction between air temperature and sex was not significant. The results suggest that B. odoriphaga has a poor potential for long-distance migration. These findings will be helpful for developing forecasting and management systems for B. odoriphaga.

Effect of short-term high-temperature exposure on the life history parameters of Ophraella communa. Sci Rep 2018; 8:13969. [PMID: 30228344 PMCID: PMC6143555 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-32262-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2017] [Accepted: 09/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Extreme heat in summer is frequent in parts of China, and this likely affects the fitness of the beetle Ophraella communa, a biological control agent of invasive common ragweed. Here, we assessed the life history parameters of O. communa when its different developmental stages were exposed to high temperatures (40, 42 and 44 °C, with 28 °C as a control) for 3 h each day for 3, 5, 5, and 5 days, respectively (by stage). The larval stage was the most sensitive stage, with the lowest survival rate under heat stress. Egg and pupal survival significantly decreased only at 44 °C, and these two stages showed relative heat tolerance, while the adult stage was the most tolerant stage, with the highest survival rates. High temperatures showed positive effects on the female proportion, but there was no stage-specific response. Treated adults showed the highest fecundity under heat stress and a similar adult lifespan to that in the control. High temperatures decreased the F1 egg hatching rate, but the differences among stages were not significant. Negative carry-over effects of heat stress on subsequent stages and progenies’ survival were also observed. Overall, heat effects depend on the temperature and life stage, and the adult stage was the most tolerant stage. Ophraella communa possesses a degree of heat tolerance that allows it to survive on hot days in summer.

Abstract
Pesticide tolerance poses many challenges for pest control, particularly for destructive pests such as Bradysia odoriphaga. Imidacloprid has been used to control B. odoriphaga since 2013, however, imidacloprid resistance in B. odoriphaga has developed in recent years. Identifying actual and potential genes involved in detoxification metabolism of imidacloprid could offer solutions for controlling this insect. In this study, RNA-seq was used to explore differentially expressed genes in B. odoriphaga that respond to imidacloprid treatment. Differential expression data between imidacloprid treatment and the control revealed 281 transcripts (176 with annotations) showing upregulation and 394 transcripts (235 with annotations) showing downregulation. Among them, differential expression levels of seven P450 unigenes were associated with imidacloprid detoxification mechanism, with 4 unigenes that were upregulated and 3 unigenes that were downregulated. The qRT-PCR results of the seven differential expression P450 unigenes after imidacloprid treatment were consistent with RNA-Seq data. Furthermore, oral delivery mediated RNA interference of these four upregulated P450 unigenes followed by an insecticide bioassay significantly increased the mortality of imidacloprid-treated B. odoriphaga. This result indicated that the four upregulated P450s are involved in detoxification of imidacloprid. This study provides a genetic basis for further exploring P450 genes for imidacloprid detoxification in B. odoriphaga.

Effects of short-term heat shock and physiological responses to heat stress in two Bradysia adults, Bradysia odoriphaga and Bradysia difformis. Sci Rep 2017; 7:13381. [PMID: 29042590 PMCID: PMC5645341 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-13560-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2017] [Accepted: 09/26/2017] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Bradysia odoriphaga and Bradysia difformis are devastating pests of vegetable, ornamental crops and edible mushrooms causing significant losses. Temperature may be an important factor restricting their population abundance in the summer. To determine the effects of short-term heat shock on adults, their survival, longevity and fecundity data were collected, and antioxidant responses and heat shock protein expression levels were examined. Our results indicated that the survival rates of Bradysia adults decreased rapidly after heat shock ≥36 °C, and the longevity and reproductive capacities were significantly inhibited, indicating that short-term heat shock had lethal and sub-lethal effects. Moreover, the lipid peroxidation levels of B. difformis and B. odoriphaga increased dramatically at 36 °C and 38 °C, respectively. Four antioxidant enzymes activities of B. odoriphaga were greater than those of B. difformis at 38 °C. Additionally, hsp70 and hsp90 expression levels significantly increased after heat stress, and higher expression levels of B. difformis and B. odoriphaga were discovered at 36 and 38 °C respectively, indicating their different heat tolerance levels. Overall, short-term heat shock (≥36 °C) caused significantly adverse effects on Bradysia adults, indicating that it could be applied in pest control, and antioxidant system and hsp genes played important roles in their heat tolerance levels.
