Abstract
Spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus, undergoes larval diapause (hibernation and aestivation), and depends on the food reserve accumulated during feeding stage for its survival. Lipids are the primary source of energy during diapause, and essential for different cellular, biochemical and physiological functions. However, there is no information on lipid and lipophilic compound contents during different stages of hibernation, aestivation and nondiapause in C. partellus. Thus, we compared the concentration and composition of lipids in pre-diapause, diapause and post-diapause stages of hibernation and aestivation with nondiapause stages of C. partellus. The studies revealed significant differences in total lipids and various lipophilic compounds during different stages of diapause as compared to nondiapause C. partellus. The total lipids were significantly lower during diapause stage of aestivation and hibernation as compared to nondiapause larvae. Further, the linoleic acid, Methyl 3-methoxytetradecanoate, and l-(+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate were significantly lower, and oleic and palmitoleic acids greater during pre-diapause and diapause stages of hibernation and aestivation as compared to nondiapause larvae. The cholesterol content was significantly greater during pre-diapause stage of hibernation, and diapause and post-diapause stages of aestivation as compared to nondiapause stages. The unsaturation ratio was significantly higher in the pre-diapause and diapause stages and lower in post-diapause stage of aestivation than the hibernation and nondiapause states. This study provides insights on differential lipid profiles during different phases of diapause, which could be useful for further understanding biochemical and physiological cross-talk, and develop target-specific technologies for the management of C. partellus.

Abstract
Although several aspects like diapause determining factors, population structure, reproductive physiology, and genetics of diapause have been investigated, there is no clarity on carbohydrate energetics during larval diapause in Chilo partellus (Swinhoe). Present studies revealed significant variation between the nondiapausing and diapausing C. partellus for total carbohydrates, glycogen, sorbitol, and trehalose contents in different body parts, life stages, and for body parts × life stages interaction. Total carbohydrate content started declining, while sorbitol and trehalose increased in all the body parts as the C. partellus larvae progressed from prediapausing to diapausing state. However, glycogen content spiked in all the body parts at prediapausing stage, which then declined during diapause. Among the body parts, total carbohydrate content was significantly greater in the hemolymph as compared to other body parts of both larvae and pupae of C. partellus. Glycogen content was significantly greater in the larval fat bodies and pupal hemolymph as compared to their other body parts. In diapausing larvae, sorbitol and trehalose were greater in the integument than in other body parts. Furthermore, there was spike in trehalose and decrease in sorbitol in all the body parts of pupae from diapausing than those from nondiapausing larvae. These findings suggest that the diapause alterate and/or fluctuate major carbohydrates in different body parts of both larvae and pupae of C. partellus. This information will be helpful in better understanding the diapause energetics and overwintering metabolic cryoprotection in insects.

Metabolite Changes in Orange Dead Leaf Butterfly Kallima inachus during Ontogeny and Diapause. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12090804. [PMID: 36144209 PMCID: PMC9501346 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12090804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Holometabolism is a form of insect development which includes four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and imago (or adult). The developmental change of whole body in metabolite levels of holometabolous insects are usually ignored and lack study. Diapause is an alternative life-history strategy that can occur during the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages in holometabolous insects. Kallima inachus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) is a holometabolous and adult diapausing butterfly. This study was intended to analyze metabolic changes in K. inachus during ontogeny and diapause through a non-targeted UPLC-MS/MS (ultra-performance liquid chromatograph coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) based metabolomics analysis. A variety of glycerophospholipids (11), amino acid and its derivatives (16), and fatty acyls (nine) are crucial to the stage development of K. inachus. 2-Keto-6-acetamidocaproate, N-phenylacetylglycine, Cinnabarinic acid, 2-(Formylamino) benzoic acid, L-histidine, L-glutamate, and L-glutamine play a potentially important role in transition of successive stages (larva to pupa and pupa to adult). We observed adjustments associated with active metabolism, including an accumulation of glycerophospholipids and carbohydrates and a degradation of lipids, as well as amino acid and its derivatives shifts, suggesting significantly changed in energy utilization and management when entering into adult diapause. Alpha-linolenic acid metabolism and ferroptosis were first found to be associated with diapause in adults through pathway analyses. Our study lays the foundation for a systematic study of the developmental mechanism of holometabolous insects and metabolic basis of adult diapause in butterflies.

Whole genome sequencing of spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus, reveals multiple genes encoding enzymes for detoxification of insecticides. Funct Integr Genomics 2022; 22:611-624. [PMID: 35426546 DOI: 10.1007/s10142-022-00852-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus, is the most important constraint for increasing the production and productivity of maize and sorghum, the two major coarse cereals in Asia and Africa. The levels of resistance to this pest in the cultivated germplasm are low to moderate, and hence, farmers have to use insecticides for effective control of this pest. However, there is no information on the detoxification mechanisms in C. partellus, which is one of the constraints for deployment of appropriate insecticides to control this pest. The ability to detoxify insecticides varies across insect populations, and hence, we sequenced different populations of C. partellus to identify and understand detoxification mechanisms to devise appropriate strategies for deployment of different insecticides for controlling this pest. Larval samples were sequenced from three different cohorts of C. partellus using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The data were subjected to identify putative genes that are involved in detoxification on insecticides in our cohort insect species. These studies resulted in identification of 64 cytochrome P450 genes (CYP450s), and 36 glutathione S-transferases genes (GSTs) encoding metabolic detoxification enzymes, primarily responsible for xenobiotic metabolism in insects. A total of 183 circadian genes with > 80% homolog and 11 olfactory receptor genes that mediate chemical cues were found in the C. partellus genome. Also, target receptors related to insecticide action, 4 acetylcholinesterase (AChE), 14 γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and 15 nicotinic acetylcholine (nAChR) receptors were detected. This is the first report of whole genome sequencing of C. partellus useful for understanding mode of action of different insecticides, and mechanisms of detoxification and designing target-specific insecticides to develop appropriate strategies to control C. partellus for sustainable crop production.
