Abstract

Drosophila suzukii is a successful invasive insect species responsible for agricultural losses. The key to its prowess is the ability to swiftly adapt to new environments through various genetic mechanisms, including fast accommodation of mutations and gene expression fine-tuning. Piezo and nanchung (nan) genes are linked to circadian clock-related behaviors and, therefore, are expected to readily respond to stress stimuli. Herein, we compared the DNA sequences of Piezo, nan, and αTubulin at 67C, a highly conserved housekeeping gene, in ICDPP-ams-1, a Romanian local population of D. suzukii, and two well-annotated reference populations from the United States of America and Japan. Our results imply that short-term evolutionary accumulated single nucleotide and indel variants are overrepresented within introns, a propensity evaluated through the mutation accumulation tendency (MAT) original parameter. Piezo and nan gene expression under photoperiodicity changes challenges were assessed in a series of experiments on three groups of individuals from ICDPP-ams-1. We found that both genes are upregulated in females if their customary circadian rhythm is affected, a trend seemingly reverting if, after an initial perturbation, the circadian clock is reset to its initial timing. In conclusion, we found that both highly conserved and adaptability-related genes are rapidly evolving and that Piezo and nan have a fast functional reaction to circadian clock changes by modifying their gene expression profiles.

苏氏果蝇罗马尼亚种群Piezo、nanchung和α微管蛋白67C的短期进化特征和生物钟调节基因表达分析
铃木果蝇是造成农业损失的一种成功的入侵昆虫。其能力的关键是通过各种遗传机制迅速适应新环境的能力,包括快速适应突变和基因表达微调。Piezo和nanchung基因与生物钟相关的行为有关,因此,预计它们会对应激刺激做出反应。在此,我们比较了罗马尼亚当地种群ICDPP-ams-1中Piezo、nan和α微管蛋白67C(一个高度保守的看家基因)的DNA序列,以及来自美国和日本的两个注释良好的参考种群。我们的研究结果表明,短期进化积累的单核苷酸和indel变异在内含子中被过度代表,这种倾向通过突变积累趋势(MAT)原始参数来评估。在三组ICDPP-ams-1个体上进行了一系列实验,评估了光周期变化挑战下压电和nan基因的表达。我们发现,如果女性的习惯昼夜节律受到影响,这两种基因都会上调,如果在最初的扰动之后,生物钟被重置到其初始时间,这种趋势似乎会逆转。总之,我们发现高度保守和适应性相关的基因都在快速进化,并且Piezo和nan通过修改其基因表达谱对生物钟变化具有快速的功能反应。

期刊介绍: Insects (ISSN 2075-4450) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of entomology published by MDPI online quarterly. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications related to the biology, physiology and the behavior of insects and arthropods. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
