[PMID: 36661975 PMCID: PMC9861275 DOI: 10.3390/insects14010048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Obolodiplosis robiniae was discovered in Eurasia at the beginning of the 21st century. In this study, we explore the present and future (in the years 2050 and 2070) trends in the potential distribution of O. robiniae in Eurasia under diverse climate change scenarios based on a maximum entropy model. Our findings indicated that the current potential distribution area of O. robiniae is within the range of 21°34' and 65°39' N in the Eurasian continent. The primary factor controlling the distribution of O. robiniae is temperature. The highly and moderately suitable areas are mainly distributed in the semi-humid and semi-arid regions, which also happen to be the locations where the host black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) grows at its fastest rate. The forecast of the potential distribution area of O. robiniae revealed that the species would benefit from global warming. The region suitable for the habitat of O. robiniae is characterized by a large-scale northward expansion trend and an increase in temperature. This information would help the forestry quarantine departments of Asian and European countries provide early warnings on the probable distribution areas of O. robiniae and provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of O. robiniae spread and outbreaks.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Platygaster robiniae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae): A novel tRNA secondary structure, gene rearrangements and phylogenetic implications. Int J Parasitol Parasites Wildl 2022; 18:249-259. [PMID: 35800109 PMCID: PMC9253838 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2022.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Platygaster robiniae is economically important as a highly specific parasitoid of the invasive pest Obolodiplosis robiniae which was introduced into the Euro-Asia region in the last decade. Despite being a critical and specific parasitoid of the invasive pest O. robiniae and its use as an effective biocontrol agent, the absence of sequence information from P. robiniae have limited its genetic applications for pest management in forests. Mitochondrial (mt) genomes generally contain abundant nucleotide information and thus are helpful for understanding species history. Here, we sequenced the complete mt genome of P. robiniae using next generation sequencing, and annotated 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes and a 702 bp noncoding region. Comparative analysis indicated that this mt genome has a normal A + T content and codons use, however possessed both the expected and unique rearrangements. Ten tRNAs at four gene blocks COII-ATP8, COIII-ND3, ND3-ND5 and the A + T-rich region-ND2 were rearranged, including gene shuffles, transpositions and inversions. Notably, two genes tRNASer(UCN) and tRNALeu(CUN) had undergone long-range inversions, which is the first record of this rearrangement type in the superfamily Platygastroidea. The D-loops of both tRNAIle and tRNALeu(CUN) were absent from the tRNA secondary structure, which has not been reported from hymenopteran previously. Phylogenetic analysis based with the maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods showed that P. robiniae grouped with other species of Platygastridae, and that the superfamily Platygastridea is sister to the other Proctotrupomorpha superfamilies. Our tree strongly supports the monophyly of the five superfamilies of Proctotrupomorpha. This study discovered some unique characters of P. robiniae, and contributes to our understanding of genome rearrangements in the order Hymenoptera. Assemble the complete mitochondria genome of the obligate parasitoid (Platygaster robiniae) of Obolodiplosis robiniae. Discover some unique tRNA secondary structures. Discover some unique rearrangements of Platygaster robiniae and Platygastroidea. The abundance rearrangements in the order Hymenoptera.

FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 12:777328. [PMID: 35069632 PMCID: PMC8776832 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.777328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Seedlings in regenerating layer are frequently attacked by herbivorous insects, while the combined effects of defoliation and shading are not fully understood. In the present study, two Leguminosae species (Robinia pseudoacacia and Amorpha fruticosa) were selected to study their responses to combined light and defoliation treatments. In a greenhouse experiment, light treatments (L+, 88% vs L-, 8% full sunlight) and defoliation treatments (CK, without defoliation vs DE, defoliation 50% of the upper crown) were applied at the same time. The seedlings' physiological and growth traits were determined at 1, 10, 30, and 70 days after the combined treatment. Our results showed that the effects of defoliation on growth and carbon allocation under high light treatments in both species were mainly concentrated in the early stage (days 1-10). R. pseudoacacia can achieve growth recovery within 10 days after defoliation, while A. fruticosa needs 30 days. Seedlings increased SLA and total chlorophyll concentration to improve light capture efficiency under low light treatments in both species, at the expense of reduced leaf thickness and leaf lignin concentration. The negative effects of defoliation treatment on plant growth and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) concentration in low light treatment were significantly higher than that in high light treatment after recovery for 70 days in R. pseudoacacia, suggesting sufficient production of carbohydrate would be crucial for seedling growth after defoliation. Plant growth was more sensitive to defoliation and low light stress than photosynthesis, resulting in NSCs accumulating during the early period of treatment. These results illustrated that although seedlings could adjust their resource allocation strategy and carbon dynamics in response to combined defoliation and light treatments, individuals grown in low light conditions will be more suppressed by defoliation. Our results indicate that we should pay more attention to understory seedlings' regeneration under the pressure of herbivorous insects.

Front Genet 2020; 11:387.

Abstract
Invasive species often cause serious economic and ecological damage. Despite decades of extensive impacts of invasives on bio-diversity and agroforestry, the mechanisms underlying the genetic adaptation and rapid evolution of invading populations remain poorly understood. The black locust gall midge, Obolodiplosis robiniae, a highly invasive species that originated in North America, spread widely throughout Asia and Europe in the past decade. Here, we used 11 microsatellite DNA markers to analyze the genetic variation of 22 O. robiniae populations in China (the introduced region) and two additional US populations (the native region). A relatively high level of genetic diversity was detected among the introduced populations, even though they exhibited lower diversity than the native US populations. Evidence for genetic differentiation among the introduced Chinese populations was also found based on the high Fst value compared to the relatively low among the native US populations. Phylogenetic trees, structure graphical output, and principal coordinate analysis plots suggested that the Chinese O. robiniae populations (separated by up to 2,540 km) cluster into two main groups independent of geographical distance. Genetic variation has been observed to increase rapidly during adaptation to a new environment, possibly contributing to population establishment and spread. Our results provide insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying successful invasion, and identify factors that have contributed to colonization by an economically important pest species in China. In addition, the findings improve our understanding of the role that genetic structure plays during invasion by O. robiniae.

PLoS One 2019; 14:e0215888. [PMID: 31557189 PMCID: PMC6762071 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0215888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The hoverfly, Eupeodes corollae, is a worldwide natural enemy of aphids and a plant pollinator. To provide insights into the biology of this species, we examined its population genetic structure by obtaining 1.15-GB random genomic sequences using next-generation sequencing and developing genome-wide microsatellite markers. A total of 79,138 microsatellite loci were initially isolated from the genomic sequences; after strict selection and further testing of 40 primer pairs in eight individuals, 24 polymorphic microsatellites with high amplification rates were developed. These microsatellites were used to examine the population genetic structure of 96 individuals from four field populations collected across southern to northern China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 5 to 13 with an average of 8.75; the observed and expected heterozygosity varied from 0.235 to 0.768 and from 0.333 to 0.785, respectively. Population genetic structure analysis showed weak genetic differentiation among the four geographical populations of E. corollae, suggesting a high rate of gene flow reflecting likely widespread migration of E. corollae in China.
