Based on large-scale cultivation and popularization of colorful flower oilseed rape, we assessed the impact of its flower color variation on pollinator communities and pollination functions. The experiments were conducted with a randomized block design (6 different flower-colored varieties of oilseed rape, each with 5 replications) over 2 consecutive years (2021-2022). Results showed  that colorful oilseed rape attracts a diverse array of pollinators and enhances pollination efficiency. Across the 2-year sampling period, we identified insect pollinators from 4 orders, 34 families, and 108 species, with Apis mellifera, Lasioglossum politum, and Delia platura emerging as dominant pollinators. No significant differences in pollinator attraction were observed across different flower colors of oilseed rape. Furthermore, the results revealed that insect pollination significantly enhanced the yield of colorful oilseed rape. However, this effect varied by year. In 2021, the fruit setting rate of the main branch and the fertilization rate of the main and lateral branches in open cages were significantly higher than those in closed cages, which excluded insect-pollinators. However, no significant yield differences were observed between flower colors in response to insect pollination in 2021.

In classical GSS, sex linkage of marker gene(s), such as white pupae (wp), is achieved through an irradiation-induced translocation between the marker-carrying autosome and the Y chromosome. However, this approach may render GSS males semisterile. The recently proposed neo-classical GSS concept suggests using genome editing to achieve sex linkage by directly inserting the wild-type marker allele onto the Y chromosome, potentially yielding GSS males with higher fertility. In this study, we examined the Ceratitis capitata wp gene as a genetic marker for the neo-classical GSS concept and developed a minimal, intronless version of this gene, termed mini-wp. We demonstrate that a single copy of mini-wp is sufficient to restore the wild-type brown puparium phenotype and is functional when integrated at various positions within the C. capitata genome, including the X chromosome. Due to its smaller size (4689 bp, including 2000 bp of putative promoter region) relative to the full wild-type wp allele (20868 bp), mini-wp may facilitate its precise insertion into the Y chromosome, representing an important step toward realizing neo-classical GSS.

In this study, we found that AMPK and its active form, P-AMPK, are highly expressed in diapause-destined pupae. Furthermore, activation of AMPK delayed the development of nondiapause-destined pupae, suggesting a critical role for AMPK in the regulation of pupal diapause in H. armigera. Manipulating AMPK activity in H. armigera epidermal (HaEpi) cells and pupae significantly influenced the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), which our laboratory previously reported as a key inducer of pupal diapause through the reduction of mitochondrial activity in H. armigera. Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), a shuttle protein phosphorylated by AMPK which translocates between the cytoplasm and the nucleus, was found to exhibit significantly higher expression in diapause-destined pupal brains compared to their nondiapause counterparts. AMPK in both HaEpi cells and pupae positively regulated the protein levels of P-HDAC4 by binding to the HDAC4 promoter. Additionally, HDAC4 was shown to enhance HIF-1α expression in diapause-destined individuals. HDAC4 binds to and deacetylates heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and reduced acetylation of HSP70 was found to significantly elevate HIF-1α protein levels.
