The Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus (Cpp), widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe, overlap and form the Pyrenean HZ.

Despite recent advancements in RNA interference (RNAi) in thrips species, its application has been mostly limited to the adult stage. Given the crucial role of first instar larval thrips in acquiring and transmitting orthotospoviruses, achieving gene silencing in these larvae is critical for studying virus entry and acquisition. While thoracic and abdominal injections have proven effective in adult thrips, the low post-injection survival rate hinders their use in larval thrips. This study addresses this challenge by presenting a microinjection methodology to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips through the coxa, the first proximal segment of the foreleg. This method significantly improved larval survival rate by preventing detrimental damage to the internal tissues. Significant knockdown of V-ATPase-B, cytochrome P450 (CYP3653A2), and apolipophorin-II/I (ApoLp-II/I) transcripts was confirmed after 48 and/or 72 h post injection (hpi), corresponding to the first and second instar larval stages, respectively. Silencing CYP3653A2 or ApoLp-II/I significantly increased larval mortality. These findings demonstrate proof-of-principle of gene silencing and associated silencing phenotype (mortality) for first instar larval thrips and highlight the essential role of CYP3653A2 and ApoLp-II/I in larval vitality. Our RNAi-based tool offers an opportunity to investigate the molecular mechanisms of thrips-orthotospovirus interactions, as the virus must be acquired by young larval thrips for successful transmission to plants, thus presenting potential targets for thrips pest management.</p>","PeriodicalId":13618,"journal":{"name":"Insect Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142755081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lipases are key enzymes in lipid metabolism, and their metabolic products are crucial for development and reproduction of insects. Here, a total of 110 lipase genes were identified in the genome of Spodoptera frugiperda. Cluster analysis indicated that neutral lipases constitute the majority of lipases. Tissue expression profile analysis displayed that most lipase genes were highly expressed in the larval gut of S. frugiperda. Some lipases exhibited a diet-specific expression pattern, which implied their roles in host adaptation. Key domain analysis proved that none of the neutral lipases highly expressed in the gut has an integrated lid domain, while most lipases highly expressed in the fat body contained both the integrated lid domain and β9 loop, indicating the activity loss of neutral lipases in guts. The assay of triacylglycerol (TAG) hydrolytic activity confirmed that the gut had the lowest activity when compared to that of fat body and epidermis. Interestingly, the opposite TAG hydrolytic activity trends across mating were observed between adult males and females, implying that lipase played different roles in the reproduction of both sexes. In conclusion, neutral lipases lost TAG hydrolytic activity in S. frugiperda guts, but retained the activity in fat body.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are essential for heat tolerance by averting protein denaturation; however, whether HSPs contribute to reproduction-related heat tolerance remains largely unexplored. The study investigated the reproductive heat tolerance and recovery of Monochamus alternatus, a major forestry pest, in response to heat stress. Alongside impairing the development and viability of reproductive organs and sperm, heat stress was also found to reduce fecundity, fertility, mating, and oviposition behaviors. Remarkably, all reproductive parameters of M. alternatus recovered within 4 weeks postexposure. To investigate the recovery mechanisms, we identified 10 reproduction-related proteins as candidate substrate proteins of an HSP protein in M. alternatus using immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry analysis. Heat stress inhibited the transcription of these reproduction-related genes, thereby adversely affecting reproductive parameters. However, the induction of HSP20s transcription in response to heat stress appeared to facilitate the refolding of these critical reproduction-related proteins during the recovery phase, thus preventing lasting reproductive damage. Overall, this study suggests that while M. alternatus populations might be vulnerable to climate-induced temperature increases, their fertility can recover, mediated by the interaction of HSPs with reproduction-related genes. These findings offer profound insights into insect heat tolerance and recovery, expanding our understanding of HSP20 proteins' biological functions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13618,"journal":{"name":"Insect Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142739411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myrmecophilous caterpillars use behavioral and chemical strategies to coexist with ants, avoiding attacks. While these strategies are well-understood in single pair of interacting species, such as those involving myrmecophiles and ants, their role in complex multitrophic interactions that include several species of plants, herbivores and ants remains unclear. We aimed to identify the role of cuticular hydrocarbons and specialized morphological structures that caterpillars use to interact with ants (called ant organs) in the recognition process between two riodinid caterpillar species and their respective ant-plant systems. We hypothesized that caterpillars' cuticular profiles would be conspicuous, possessing cues of rewards to ants, allowing specific ants to recognize and not attack them on plants. We performed experiments exposing caterpillars to ants to assess the role of larval ant organs and the specificity of caterpillar-ant interactions on plants. We analyzed cuticular hydrocarbons of caterpillars, ant workers and plants using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Our experiments showed that larval ant organs were activated according to each treatment and caterpillars were consistently accepted by their associated ants when transferred to host plants occupied by the same ant species. However, caterpillars transferred to plants with a non-associated ant species that do not tend them were often killed. This highlights the specificity of these interactions. Caterpillar cuticular hydrocarbon profiles, while present in far lower amounts than those of ant workers and plants, were distinctive, suggesting a strategy of chemical conspicuousness that helps caterpillars to be recognized by ants and prevents attacks in specific ant-plant systems. Our results indicate that ants recognize conspicuous cuticular hydrocarbons, while caterpillars convey multimodal signals from ant organs during interactions, which are essential for caterpillar survival in these specific interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13618,"journal":{"name":"Insect Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142739401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how these factors interact to impact insect survival remains uncertain. In this study, we examined the effects of sex and genotype on the response to long-term low insecticide exposure at two temperatures, 18 °C and 28 °C, using the Drosophila melanogaster model. We focused on a polymorphic gene, Cyp6g1, known for conferring broad insecticide resistance. We found that while temperature and insecticide have a synergistic effect on mortality of susceptible flies (Cyp6g1-M allele), they act additively on resistant flies (Cyp6g1-BA allele). And whereas the mortality of BA flies exposed to insecticides is strongly dependent on sex at 18 °C, no sex bias is found at 28 °C. Under no insecticide exposure, BA females showed shorter median lifespan than males regardless of temperature, possibly reflecting a cost associated with the resistant allele. Surprisingly, across all genotypes, females showed lower Cyp6g1 gene expression levels than males, which contrasts with their higher insecticide tolerance. Temperature and insecticide exposure had small effects on Cyp6g1 expression levels, suggesting the presence of additional mechanisms of resistance. Our results indicate that the effect of high insecticide doses on insect mortality cannot be used to predict how insects will respond to low contaminating doses, especially when considering the strong interactions between sex, temperature, and genotype.

We explored variation in upper and lower thermal limits and acclimation capacity among Iberian populations of adults of the widespread water beetle Agabus bipustulatus (Dytiscidae) across a 2000 m elevational gradient, from lowland to alpine areas. Since mean and extreme temperatures decline with elevation, we predicted that populations at higher elevations will show lower heat tolerance and higher cold tolerance than lowland ones. We also explored whether acclimation capacity is positively related with climatic variability across elevations. We found significant variation in thermal limits between populations of A. bipustulatus, but no evidence of local adaptation to different thermal conditions across the altitudinal gradient, as relationships between thermal limits and elevation or climatic variables were largely nonsignificant. Furthermore, plasticities of both upper and lower thermal limits were consistently low in all populations. These results suggest thermal niche conservatism in this species, likely due to gene flow counteracting the effects of divergent selection, or adaptations in other traits that buffer exposure to climate extremes.

Lepidoptin is a 116-amino acid protein containing a signal peptide and a novel β-sandwich domain that is distinct from previously reported AMPs. Temporal and spatial expression analyses revealed a significant upregulation of the lepidoptin gene in vivo and in cultured SF9 cells in response to pathogens. Molecular docking analysis identified a specific binding cavity. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and binding assays confirmed that lepidoptin can bind to pathogen-associated molecular patterns, bacteria, and fungi. Recombinant lepidoptin exhibited potent antibacterial activity by inducing bacterial agglutination, inhibiting bacterial growth, increasing bacterial membrane permeability, and preventing biofilm formation. Lepidoptin also showed antifungal activity against the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana by inhibiting spore germination, increasing fungal cell permeability, and increasing reactive oxygen species. Injection of recombinant lepidoptin into S. frugiperda larvae increased survival after B. bassiana infection, whereas knockdown of lepidoptin by RNA interference decreased larval survival. In addition, lepidoptin showed antimicrobial activity against the plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum by inhibiting spore germination and alleviating disease symptoms in wheat seedlings and cherry tomatoes.
