Abstract :
Insect seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) are primary factors affecting physiology and behavior in both sexes, making them valuable targets for pest control. However, SFPs have not been fully characterized in the Plutella xylostella, a global pest that attacks cruciferous crops. Here, 75 putative SFPs were identified in P. xylostella, compared to 10 orthologs in Drosophila melanogaster, 10 in Nilaparvata lugens, 5 in Apis mellifera, and 43 in Heliconius melpomene. Analyses of Ka/Ks suggested that SFPs had high evolution rates. Proteases (22/75, 29.3 %) accounted for the highest proportion of P. xylostella SFPs, including 16 trypsins. The phylogenetic analysis showed that most trypsins from P. xylostella and H. melpomene belonged to the same cluster. SFP04 (trypsin-1) was orthologous to the SFP ADJ58550.1 in H. melpomene. PxTry1 was specifically expressed in adult males and their accessory glands but was also detected in females after mating. A CRISPR/Cas9-induced PxTry1 homozygous mutant strain with a 22-base pair nucleotides insertion was generated. PxTry1 deletion resulted in swollen testes, smaller spermatophores, and abnormal sperm, thus reducing the P. xylostella egg production and hatching. These results clarify the role of insect SFPs in evolution and reproduction and identify a promising target for pest control based on genetic regulation.

Abstract :
The olfactory system of insects plays a pivotal role in multiple, essential activities including feeding, mating, egg laying, and host localization. The capacity of odorant receptors to recognize odor molecules relies on odorant receptor co-receptors forming heterodimers. Here we report the successful engineering a homozygous mutant strain of diamondback moth ( Plutella xylostella) in which the odorant receptor co-receptor PxOrco was silenced using CRISPR/Cas9. This insect is a globally important crop pest for which novel control methods are urgently required. Behavioral assays demonstrated that PxOrco knockout males exhibited abolished courtship behaviors, inability to mate, and loss of selective preference for P. xylostella's key sex pheromone components. Whilst female mating behavior and fecundity remained unaffected by PxOrco knockout, oviposition response to leaf alcohol, a key cue for normal oviposition behavior, was lost. Electroantennography revealed drastically reduced responses to sex pheromones and plant volatiles in PxOrco-deficient adults but food location by larvae was unaffected. Moreover, expression analysis of PxOrco- deficient pheromone receptors (PRs) indicated varied regulation patterns, with down-regulation observed in several PRs in both sexes. These findings underscore the critical role of PxOrco in regulating multiple olfactory aspects in P. xylostella, including feeding, mating, and host location. Our study identifies the potential of disrupting the Orco gene in this and other pest species to provide novel avenues for future pest control.

Abstract :
Global climate change is characterized by increased extreme temperatures affecting insects at all trophic levels. Zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) are key regulators of gene expression and cell differentiation in eukaryotes, essential for stress resistance in both animals and plants. Using CRISPR/Cas9 for gene deletion, this study predicted and examined the structure of ZFP320 in the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and investigated its function in temperature stress response through a comprehensive age-stage, two-sex life table analysis. We found ZFP320 encodes a 387 amino acid protein (43 kDa) with no transmembrane domains, featuring a ZnF-C2H2 domain. Quantitative fluorescence analysis showed that ZFP320 expression increased under high temperatures. ZFP320 knockout altered antioxidant gene expression, resulting in higher levels of superoxide dismutase and catalase in mutant strains compared with wild-type strain. Life table analysis revealed that the mutant strains had shorter fecundity and oviposition periods under both normal and high temperatures. Additionally, mutant strains exhibited lower parameters (r, lambda, R0), as well as reduced survival rates and critical thermal maxima. Notably, PxZFP320 plays a crucial role in temperature adaptation, paving the way for future investigations on the significance of ZFPs in P. xylostella's temperature tolerance.

Abstract :
Fungus gnats, Lycoriella spp. (Diptera: Sciaridae), are significant pests in edible mushroom cultivation worldwide. This study evaluates the effectiveness of 2 soil predatory mites, Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Laelapidae) and Macrocheles glaber (Macrochelidae), in controlling fungus gnats density on the mushroom Agrocybe aegerita. A controlled experiment was performed to examine and compare the effects of individual and combined releases of the 2 mite species on fungus gnats populations and their impact on mushroom yield. Results showed that both mite species significantly reduced fungus gnat populations as compared to untreated controls. However, S. scimitus exhibited superior control, effectively suppressing adult fungus gnats compared to the controls, single release of M. glaber and combined releases (M. glaber + S. scimitus). Mushroom yield was highest in the S. scimitus treatment, with no significant differences observed among other treatments and controls. Interestingly, neither mite species negatively impacted mushroom quality or budding. These findings highlight the significance of S. scimitus as a highly effective biological control agent for suppression of fungus gnats, thereby contributing to sustainable pest management practices in mushroom cultivation.

Abstract :
Brassica vegetable and oilseed crops are attacked by several different flea beetle species (Chrysomelidae: Alticini). Over the past decades, most research has focused on two Phyllotreta species, Phyllotreta striolata and Phyllotreta cruciferae, which are major pests of oilseed rape in North America. More recently, and especially after the ban of neonicotinoids in the European Union, the cabbage stem flea beetle, Psylliodes chrysocephala, has become greatly important and is now considered to be the major pest of winter oilseed rape in Europe. The major challenges to flea beetle control are the prediction of population dynamics in the field, differential susceptibility to insecticides, and the lack of resistant plant cultivars and other economically viable alternative management strategies. At the same time, many fundamental aspects of flea beetle biology and ecology, which may be relevant for the development of sustainable control strategies, are not well understood. This review focuses on the interactions between flea beetles and plants and summarizes the literature on current management strategies with an emphasis on the potential for biological control in flea beetle management.

Abstract :
Wolbachia bacteria (phylum Proteobacteria) are ubiquitous intracellular parasites of diverse invertebrates. In insects, coevolution has forged mutualistic associations with Wolbachia species, influencing reproduction, immunity, development, pathogen resistance, and overall fitness. However, the impact of Wolbachia on other microbial associates within the insect microbiome, which are crucial for host fitness, remains less explored. The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), a major pest of cruciferous vegetables worldwide, harbors the dominant Wolbachia strain plutWB1, known to distort its sex ratio. This study investigated the bacterial community diversity and dynamics across different developmental life stages and Wolbachia infection states in P. xylostella using high-throughput 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes dominated the P. xylostella microbiome regardless of life stage or Wolbachia infection. However, the relative abundance of dominant genera, including an unclassified genus of Enterobacteriaceae, Wolbachia, Carnobacterium, and Delftia tsuruhatensis, displayed significant stage-specific variations. While significant differences in bacterial diversity and composition were observed across life stages, Wolbachia infection had no substantial impact on overall diversity. Nonetheless, relative abundances of specific genera differed between infection states. Notably, Wolbachia exhibited a stable, high relative abundance across all stages and negatively correlated with an unclassified genus of Enterobacteriaceae, Delftia tsuruhatensis, and Carnobacterium. Our findings provide a foundational understanding of the complex interplay between the host, Wolbachia, and the associated microbiome in P. xylostella, paving the way for a deeper understanding of their complex interactions and potential implications for pest control strategies.

Abstract :
The fluctuation in temperature poses a significant challenge for poikilothermic organisms, notably insects, particularly in the context of changing climatic conditions. In insects, temperature adaptation has been driven by polygenes. In addition to genes that directly affect traits (core genes), other genes (peripheral genes) may also play a role in insect temperature adaptation. This study focuses on two peripheral genes, the GRIP and coiled-coil domain containing 2 (GCC2) and karyopherin subunit beta 1 (KPNB1). These genes are differentially expressed at different temperatures in the cosmopolitan pest, Plutella xylostella. GCC2 and KPNB1 in P. xylostella were cloned, and their relative expression patterns were identified. Reduced capacity for thermal adaptation (development, reproduction and response to temperature extremes) in the GCC2-deficient and KPNB1-deficient P. xylostella strains, which were constructed by CRISPR/Cas9 technique. Deletion of the PxGCC2 or PxKPNB1 genes in P. xylostella also had a differential effect on gene expression for many traits including stress resistance, resistance to pesticides, involved in immunity, trehalose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and so forth. The ability of the moth to adapt to temperature via different pathways is likely to be key to its ability to remain an important pest species under predicted climate change conditions.

Abstract :
Understanding a population's fitness heterogeneity and genetic basis of thermal adaptation is essential for predicting the responses to global warming. We examined the thermotolerance and genetic adaptation of Plutella xylostella to exposure to hot temperatures. The population fitness parameters of the hot- acclimated DBM strains varied in the thermal environments. Using genome scanning and transcription profiling, we find a number of genes potentially involved in thermal adaptation of DBM. Editing two ABCG transporter genes, PxWhite and PxABCG, confirmed their role in altering cuticle permeability and influencing thermal responses. Our results demonstrate that SNP mutations in genes and changes in gene expression can allow DBM to rapidly adapt to thermal environment. ABCG transporter genes play an important role in thermal adaptation of DBM. This work improves our understanding of genetic adaptation mechanisms of insects to thermal stress and our capacity to predict the effects of rising global temperatures on ectotherms.

Abstract :
Plutella xylostella exhibits exceptional reproduction ability, yet the genetic basis underlying the high reproductive capacity remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that an orphan gene, lushu, which encodes a sperm protein, plays a crucial role in male reproductive success. Lushu is located on the Z chromosome and is prevalent across different P. xylostella populations worldwide. We subsequently generated lushu mutants using transgenic CRISPR/Cas9 system. Knockout of Lushu results in reduced male mating efficiency and accelerated death in adult males. Furthermore, our findings highlight that the deficiency of lushu reduced the transfer of sperms from males to females, potentially resulting in hindered sperm competition. Additionally, the knockout of Lushu results in disrupted gene expression in energy-related pathways and elevated insulin levels in adult males. Our findings reveal that male reproductive performance has evolved through the birth of a newly evolved, lineage-specific gene with enormous potentiality in fecundity success. These insights hold valuable implications for identifying the target for genetic control, particularly in relation to species-specific traits that are pivotal in determining high levels of fecundity.
