Kaplanoglu E, Scott IM, Vickruck J, Donly C. Role of CYP9E2 and a long non-coding RNA gene in resistance to a spinosad insecticide in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0304037.

Abstract
Spinosads are insecticides used to control insect pests, especially in organic farming where limited tools for pest management exist. However, resistance has developed to spinosads in economically important pests, including Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata. In this study, we used bioassays to determine spinosad sensitivity of two field populations of CPB, one from an organic farm exposed exclusively to spinosad and one from a conventional farm exposed to a variety of insecticides, and a reference insecticide naïve population. We found the field populations exhibited significant levels of resistance compared with the sensitive population. Then, we compared transcriptome profiles between the two field populations to identify genes associated primarily with spinosad resistance and found a cytochrome P450, CYP9E2, and a long non-coding RNA gene, lncRNA-2, were upregulated in the exclusively spinosad-exposed population. Knock-down of these two genes simultaneously in beetles of the spinosad-exposed population using RNA interference (RNAi) resulted in a significant increase in mortality when gene knock-down was followed by spinosad exposure, whereas single knock-downs of each gene produced smaller effects. In addition, knock-down of the lncRNA-2 gene individually resulted in significant reduction in CYP9E2 transcripts. Finally, in silico analysis using an RNA-RNA interaction tool revealed that CYP9E2 mRNA contains multiple binding sites for the lncRNA-2 transcript. Our results imply that CYP9E2 and lncRNA-2 jointly contribute to spinosad resistance in CPB, and lncRNA-2 is involved in regulation of CYP9E2 expression. These results provide evidence that metabolic resistance, driven by overexpression of CYP and lncRNA genes, contributes to spinosad resistance in CPB.

Regional differences in susceptibility to spinosyn insecticides registered for Colorado potato beetle management in Canada. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 193:105459. [PMID: 37248024 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is the most economically important pest of Canadian potato, and if left uncontrolled, it can completely consume the crop. In the past decade, the control of CPB has relied heavily on systemic insecticides, principally the neonicotinoids thiamethoxam and clothianidin. Resistance to neonicotinoids in CPB has been well documented in the past 2 decades and mechanisms underlying the resistance better understood. In contrast, resistance to other insecticide classes, including spinosyns (spinosad and spinetoram) and anthranillic diamides (chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole), have not been studied to the same degree in CPB. Spinosyns are the only insecticide certified for organic potato growers in Canada and are frequently applied as a mid-season foliar spray by conventional growers when seed treatments with neoniconitoid or diamide experience control breaks. Improved knowledge on resistance to spinosyns in CPB would allow for the development of regional management strategies. A survey of insecticide susceptibility in CPB populations from 6 potato growing regions between 2018 and 2022 observed: 1) spatial and temporal resistance trends; 2) cross-resistance; and 3) evidence of regional differences in susceptibility to spinosyns. The proportion of populations within each province considered resistant to spinosyns was, in descending order: Québec (16%) > Ontario (14%) > Manitoba (13%) > New Brunswick (9%) > Prince Edward Island (2%) > Alberta (0%). There was a significant change in CPB mortality at the diagnostic concentration (DC = LC90) for spinosad and spinetoram in the 6 provinces but only for year 5 relative to the previous 4 years. Moderate cross-resistance was determined between spinosad and spinetoram with the DC mortality for all populations based on a positive and significant correlation (adjusted R2 = 0.3758; P = 1.263e-13). There was also a positive relationship observed between the number of spinosyn applications (years applied at the sampling location) and declining susceptibility to spinosad (R2 = 0.0927; P < 0.002). Cross-resistance was observed between spinosyns and insecticides in the other two classes, the more significant correlation was between spinosad and tetraniliprole (R2 = 0.3025; P < 0.0002). In Québec, the greater spinosad use in organic potato farms led to resistance in those CPB populations, but spinosyn resistance at conventional farms was not related to greater application of neonicotinoids and diamides. Spinosyns remain relatively effective, nevertheless growers should be concerned over the increasing cases of reduced susceptibility in conventional potato farms and resistance where organic production occurs. Resistance management should continue to encourage rotation with products from the other classes in season and between years in order to extend spinosyn use for CPB control.

Abstract
Hornets are the largest of the social wasps, and are important regulators of insect populations in their native ranges. Hornets are also very successful as invasive species, with often devastating economic, ecological and societal effects. Understanding why these wasps are such successful invaders is critical to managing future introductions and minimising impact on native biodiversity. Critical to the management toolkit is a comprehensive genomic resource for these insects. Here we provide the annotated genomes for two hornets, Vespa crabro and Vespa velutina. We compare their genomes with those of other social Hymenoptera, including the northern giant hornet Vespa mandarinia. The three hornet genomes show evidence of selection pressure on genes associated with reproduction, which might facilitate the transition into invasive ranges. Vespa crabro has experienced positive selection on the highest number of genes, including those putatively associated with molecular binding and olfactory systems. Caste-specific brain transcriptomic analysis also revealed 133 differentially expressed genes, some of which are associated with olfactory functions. This report provides a spring-board for advancing our understanding of the evolution and ecology of hornets, and opens up opportunities for using molecular methods in the future management of both native and invasive populations of these over-looked insects.

Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) is an insect pest that threatens potato crops. Multiple options exist to limit the impact of this pest even though insecticides remain a primary option for its control. Insecticide resistance has been reported in Colorado potato beetles and a better understanding of the molecular players underlying such process is of utmost importance to optimize the tools used to mitigate the impact of this insect. Resistance against the insecticide spinosad has been reported in this insect and this work thus aims at exploring the expression of targets previously associated with insecticide response in Colorado potato beetles exposed to this compound. Amplification and quantification of transcripts coding for cytochrome P450s and glutathione S-transferases were conducted via qRT-PCR in insects treated with varying doses of spinosad and for different time duration. This approach notably revealed differential expression of CYP6a23 and CYP12a5 in insects exposed to low doses of spinosad for 4 h as well as modulation of CYP6a13, CYP6d4, GST, GST1, and GST1-Like in insects treated with high doses of spinosad for the same duration. RNAi-based targeting of CYP4g15 and CYP6a23 was associated with marked reduction of transcript expression 7 days following dsRNA injection and reduction of the former had a marked impact on insect viability. In general, results presented here provide novel information regarding the expression of transcripts relevant to spinosad response in Colorado potato beetles and reveal a novel target to consider in the development of RNAi-based strategies aimed at this potato pest.

Abstract
Caligus rogercresseyi is the main ectoparasite that affects the salmon industry in Chile. The mechanisms used by the parasite to support its life strategy are of great interest for developing control strategies. Due to the critical role of insect peritrophins in host–parasite interactions and response to pest control drugs, this study aimed to identify and characterize the peritrophin-like genes present in C. rogercresseyi. Moreover, the expression of peritrophin-like genes was evaluated on parasites exposed to delousing drugs such as pyrethroids and azamethiphos. Peritrophin genes were identified by homology analysis among the sea louse transcriptome database and arthropods peritrophin-protein database obtained from GenBank and UniProt. Moreover, the gene loci in the parasite genome were located. Furthermore, peritrophin gene expression levels were evaluated by RNA-Seq analysis in sea louse developmental stages and sea lice exposed to delousing drugs deltamethrin, cypermethrin, and azamethiphos. Seven putative peritrophin-like genes were identified in C. rogercresseyi with high homology with other crustacean peritrophins. Differences in the presence of signal peptides, the number of chitin-binding domains, and the position of conserved cysteines were found. In addition, seven peritrophin-like gene sequences were identified in the C. rogercresseyi genome. Gene expression analysis revealed a stage-dependent expression profile. Notably, differential regulation of peritrophin genes in resistant and susceptible populations to delousing drugs was found. These data are the first report and characterization of peritrophin genes in the sea louse C. rogercresseyi, representing valuable knowledge to understand sea louse biology. Moreover, this study provides evidence for a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of C. rogercresseyi response to delousing drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND RNA interference (RNAi) is a breakthrough technology in pest control. It is highly efficient to Coleopteran pests such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, a serious pest defoliator mainly attacking potatoes worldwide. The first step for effective pest control by RNAi is the development of effective and reliable target genes. RESULTS Our results revealed that continuous ingestion of dsLdRan for 3 days successfully silenced the target gene, inhibited larval growth and killed 100% L. decemlineata larvae. When the bioassay began at the second-, third/fourth-instar larval stages, the larval lethality mainly occurred at the fourth larval instar and prepupal stages, respectively. Importantly, consumption of dsLdRan for 3 days by the newly-emerged males and females effectively knocked down the target transcript, reduced fresh weights and caused 100% of lethality within a week. The LdRan females possessed underdeveloped ovaries. CONCLUSION Considering that the larvae, adults and eggs are simultaneously sited on the potato plants, bacterially-expressed dsLdRan is a potential RNAi-based strategy for managing L. decemlineata in the potato field. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Simple Summary The Colorado potato beetle is an insect pest that can significantly harm potato crops. Various approaches are available to mitigate its damages including the use of insecticides. Unfortunately, its ability to develop resistance towards these compounds is substantial, and understanding the basis of this process is of utmost importance to design strategies to limit the impact of this insect. This work thus aims at quantifying the expression of key transcripts coding for proteins associated with insecticide resistance in Colorado potato beetles exposed to four insecticides. Significant variations were observed, notably in insects exposed to the insecticide clothianidin. Interestingly, subsequent reduction of endogenous levels of selected targets modulated by clothianidin was associated with increased insect susceptibility to this neonicotinoid. These results further highlight molecular players with potential relevance for insecticide resistance, and introduce novel targets that underlie clothianidin resistance in the Colorado potato beetle. Abstract The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) is known for its capacity to cause significant damages to potato crops worldwide. Multiple approaches have been considered to limit its spread including the use of a diverse arsenal of insecticides. Unfortunately, this insect frequently develops resistance towards these compounds. Investigating the molecular bases underlying the response of L. decemlineata against insecticides is of strong interest to ultimately devise novel and targeted approaches aimed at this pest. This work aimed to characterize, via qRT-PCR, the expression status of targets with relevance to insecticide response, including ones coding for cytochrome P450s, glutathione s-transferases, and cuticular proteins, in L. decemlineata exposed to four insecticides; chlorantraniliprole, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and spinosad. Modulation of levels associated with transcripts coding for selected cytochrome P450s was reported in insects treated with three of the four insecticides studied. Clothianidin treatment yielded the most variations in transcript levels, leading to significant changes in transcripts coding for CYP4c1, CYP4g15, CYP6a13, CYP9e2, GST, and GST-1-Like. Injection of dsRNA targeting CYP4c1 and CYP9e2 was associated with a substantial decrease in expression levels and was, in the case of the latter target, linked to a greater susceptibility of L. decemlineata towards this neonicotinoid, supporting a potential role for this target in clothianidin response. Overall, this data further highlights the differential expression of transcripts with potential relevance in insecticide response, as well as generating specific targets that warrant investigation as novel dsRNA-based approaches are developed against this insect pest.

Abstract
Potato is one of the most important food crops in the world. Late blight, viruses, soil and tuber-borne diseases, insect-pests mainly aphids, whiteflies, and potato tuber moths are the major biotic stresses affecting potato production. Potato is an irrigated and highly fertilizer-responsive crop, and therefore, heat, drought, and nutrient stresses are the key abiotic stresses. The genus Solanum is a reservoir of genetic diversity, however, a little fraction of total diversity has been utilized in potato breeding. The conventional breeding has contributed significantly to the development of potato varieties. In recent years, a tremendous progress has been achieved in the sequencing technologies from short-reads to long-reads sequence data, genomes of Solanum species (i.e., pan-genomics), bioinformatics and multi-omics platforms such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, ionomics, and phenomics. As such, genome editing has been extensively explored as a next-generation breeding tool. With the available high-throughput genotyping facilities and tetraploid allele calling softwares, genomic selection would be a reality in potato in the near future. This mini-review covers an update on germplasm, breeding, and genomics in potato improvement for biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.

Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) is an insect that can adapt to various challenges, including temperature fluctuations or select insecticide treatments. This pest is also an ongoing threat to the potato industry. Small noncoding RNAs such as miRNAs, which can control posttranscriptionally the expression of various genes, and piRNAs, which can notably impact mRNA turnover, are modulated in insects under different conditions. Unfortunately, information regarding the expression status of key players involved in their synthesis and function is for the most part lacking. The current study thus aims at assessing the levels of such targets in L. decemlineata exposed to hot and cold temperatures as well as treated to the insecticides chlorantraniliprole, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and spinosad. Transcript expression levels of Ago1, Ago2, Ago3, Dcr2a, Dcr2b, Expo-5, Siwi-1, and Siwi-2, components of pathways associated with small noncoding RNA production or function, were measured by qRT-PCR and revealed modulation of select transcripts in response to temperature challenges and to select insecticides. RNAi-mediated reduction of Ago2 transcript levels in L. decemlineata injected with Ago2-targeting dsRNA and exposed to cold and warm temperatures was also conducted. Changes in survival rates were observed for the latter condition in dsRNA- versus saline-injected insects. These results showcase the differential expression of select targets involved in small noncoding RNA homeostasis and provide leads for the subsequent assessment of their involvement during stress response in L. decemlineata using RNAi-based approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Organic pest management eschews synthetic pesticides and insecticide resistance is rarely studied in organically managed systems. Spinosad is a biologically based insecticide used widely by both organic and conventional growers. Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, is infamous for its ability to evolve resistance to insecticides. Spinosad resistance was surveyed in conventionally managed fields in eastern New York in 2006. In response to grower reports of spinosad failure on two organic farms in 2009, resistance to spinosad was assayed in both conventionally and organically managed fields the following year, and growers were surveyed for their prior spinosad use. RESULTS In 2006, spinosad resistance measured as median lethal dose (LD50 ) varied 9.8-fold among the eight conventional fields sampled and a laboratory susceptible strain. In 2010, the resistance ratios of LD50 values relative to a laboratory susceptible strain ranged from 17.5 to 40.6 in conventionally managed fields, and from 128.7 to 5750.3 in organically managed fields, a dramatic increase from 2006 with higher resistance ratios in organically managed fields. Organic growers reported much heavier use of spinosad in the years prior to 2010. CONCLUSION This is the first report of high-level resistance to spinosad in Coleopterans. Selection strength due to number of years used and number of applications per season appear to have been the primary factors driving the evolution of resistance to spinosad, highlighting the need for resistance management in organic production, where fewer alternative active ingredients for resistance management are available. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
