Therefore, this research aimed to identify wireworms molecularly and evaluate their biodiversity in potato growing ecosystems. Here, the first extensive field survey was carried out in Türkiye's principal potato-growing regions in 2019 and 2020 (Afyon, Bolu, İzmir, Kayseri, Konya, Niğde, and Sivas). Species identification of wireworms was performed using DNA barcoding approach based on the fragment of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI). Samples were collected from 400 potato fields, and 510 larval specimens were obtained. The presence of wireworms was confirmed for Afyon, Bolu, Kayseri, Konya, and Sivas provinces, with an average prevalence of 13.5%, while no positive samples were recovered from Niğde and İzmir. Agriotes sputator (L.,1758) (Coleoptera: Elateridae) was the most prevalent species in surveyed areas. The Shannon index of wireworm species was found to be as 0.59, which implies a low degree of biodiversity of wireworms in potato fields.","PeriodicalId":49405,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Entomoloji Dergisi-Turkish Journal of Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49222181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, conducted between the years 2017-2019, firstly resistance ratio of five M. persicae populations from Antalya, Türkiye were determined by leaf-dip bioassay method. The field populations showed significant resistance to thiamethoxam (between 201-332 fold) and lambda-cyhalothrin (between 50-103 fold) when compared to susceptible population. To identify whether resistance mediated by mutations in sodium channel and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, DNA regions that encompass “mutation hot-spot” were sequenced. This revealed no population contained R81T mutation that has been previously linked with neonicotinoid resistance. As to synthetic pyrethroid resistance, the L1014F kdr mutation was fixed in all field populations. This study is the first description of kdr mutation in M. persicae populations from Türkiye.

The highest resistance ratio to malathion in S. oryzae was found in the Adana-Kartepe population with 5.73-fold, and the lowest resistance was found in the İstanbul- Büyükçekmece population with 1.57-fold.
