Abstract
The whitefly Bemisia tabaci poses a significant threat to various crops and ornamental plants and causes severe damage to the agricultural industry. Over the past few decades, B. tabaci has developed resistance to several pesticides, including imidacloprid. Therefore, elucidating the mechanism that leads to insecticide detoxification is very important for controlling B. tabaci and managing whitefly resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides. Among insect detoxification enzymes, glutathione S-transferase (GST) is an important phase II detoxification enzyme that helps detoxify exogenous toxic substances. In this study, we cloned the BtGSTz1 gene and observed that its expression level was greater in imidacloprid-resistant populations than sensitive populations of B. tabaci. By silencing BtGSTz1 via RNA interference, we found a significant increase in the mortality of imidacloprid-resistant B. tabaci. Additionally, prokaryotic expression and in vitro metabolism studies revealed that the recombinant BtGSTz1 protein could metabolize 36.36% of the total imidacloprid, providing direct evidence that BtGSTz1 plays a crucial role in the detoxification of imidacloprid. Overall, our study elucidated the role of GSTs in physiological activities related to insecticide resistance, which helps clarify the resistance mechanisms conferred by GSTs and provides useful insights for sustainable integrated pest management.

Overexpression of CYP6CX4 contributing to field-evolved resistance to flupyradifurone, one novel butenolide insecticide, in Bemisia tabaci from China. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:131056. [PMID: 38522686 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
Bemisia tabaci is a formidable insect pest worldwide, and exhibits significant resistance to various insecticides. Flupyradifurone is one novel butenolide insecticide and has emerged as a new weapon against B. tabaci, but field-evolved resistance to this insecticide has become a widespread concern. To unravel the mechanisms of field-evolved flupyradifurone resistance, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into susceptibility of twenty-one field populations within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region of China. Alarmingly, thirteen of these populations displayed varying degrees of resistance, ranging from low to medium levels, and building upon our prior findings, we meticulously cloned and characterized the CYP6CX4 gene in B. tabaci. Our investigations unequivocally confirmed the association between CYP6CX4 overexpression and flupyradifurone resistance in three of the thirteen resistant strains via RNA interference. To further validate our findings, we introduced CYP6CX4 overexpression into a transgenic Drosophila melanogaster line, resulting in a significant development of resistance to flupyradifurone in D. melanogaster. Additionally, homology modeling and molecular docking analyses showed the stable binding of flupyradifurone to CYP6CX4, with binding free energy of -6.72 kcal mol-1. Collectively, our findings indicate that the induction of CYP6CX4 exerts one important role in detoxification of flupyradifurone, thereby promoting development of resistance in B. tabaci.

Cytochrome P450 CYP6EM1 Underpins Dinotefuran Resistance in the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:5153-5164.

Abstract
Being a destructive pest worldwide, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci has evolved resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides. The third-generation neonicotinoid dinotefuran has commonly been applied to the control of the whitefly, but its underlying mechanism is currently unknown. On the base of our transcriptome data, here we aim to investigate whether the cytochrome P450 CYP6EM1 underlies dinotefuran resistance in the whitefly. Compared to the susceptible strain, the CYP6EM1 gene was found to be highly expressed in both laboratory and field dinotefuran-resistant populations. Upon exposure to dinotefuran, the mRNA levels of CYP6EM1 were increased. These results demonstrate the involvement of this gene in dinotefuran resistance. Loss and gain of functional studies in vivo were conducted through RNAi and transgenic Drosophila melanogaster assays, confirming the role of CYP6EM1 in conferring such resistance. In a metabolism assay in vitro, the CYP6EM1 protein could metabolize 28.11% of dinotefuran with a possible dinotefuran-dm-NNO metabolite via UPLC-QTOF/MS. Docking of dinotefuran to the CYP6EM1 protein showed a good binding affinity, with an energy of less than -6.0 kcal/mol. Overall, these results provide compelling evidence that CYP6EM1 plays a crucial role in the metabolic resistance of B. tabaci to dinotefuran. Our work provides new insights into the mechanism underlying neonicotinoid resistance and applied knowledge that can contribute to sustainable control of a global pest such as whitefly.

Abstract
Nitrogen is an essential element for all life on earth. Nitrogen metabolism, including excretion, is essential for growth, development, and survival of plants and animals alike. Several nitrogen metabolic processes have been described, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, we reveal a unique process of nitrogen metabolism in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, a global pest. We show that it has acquired two bacterial uricolytic enzyme genes, B. tabaci urea carboxylase (BtUCA) and B. tabaci allophanate hydrolase (BtAtzF), through horizontal gene transfer. These genes operate in conjunction to not only coordinate an efficient way of metabolizing nitrogenous waste but also control B. tabaci's exceptionally flexible nitrogen recycling capacity. Its efficient nitrogen processing explains how this important pest can feed on a vast spectrum of plants. This finding provides insight into how the hijacking of microbial genes has allowed whiteflies to develop a highly economic and stable nitrogen metabolism network and offers clues for pest management strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the trade-offs between insecticide resistance and the associated fitness is of particular importance to sustainable pest control. One of the most devastating pest worldwide, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, has developed resistance to various insecticides, especially the neonicotinoid group. Although neonicotinoid resistance often is conferred by P450s-mediated metabolic resistance, the relationship between such resistance and the associated fitness phenotype remains largely elusive. By gene cloning, quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-PCR, RNA interference (RNAi), transgenic Drosophila melanogaster, metabolism capacity in vitro and 'two sex-age stage' life table study, this study aims to explore the molecular role of a P450 gene CYP4CS5 in neonicotinoid resistance and to investigate whether such resistance mechanism carries fitness costs in the whitefly. RESULTS Our bioassay tests showed that a total of 13 field-collected populations of B. tabaci MED biotype displayed low-to-moderate resistance to thiamethoxam and clothianidin. Compared to the laboratory susceptible strain, we then found that an important P450 CYP4CS5 was remarkably upregulated in the field resistant populations. Such overexpression of CYP4CS5 had a good match with the resistance level among the whitefly samples. Further exposure to the two neonicotinoids resulted in an increase in CYP4CS5 expression. These results implicate that overexpression of CYP4CS5 is closely correlated with thiamethoxam and clothianidin resistance. RNAi knockdown of CYP4CS5 increased mortality of the resistant and susceptible populations after treatment with thiamethoxam and clothianidin in bioassay, but obtained an opposite result when using a transgenic line of D. melanogaster expressing CYP4CS5. Metabolic assays in vitro revealed that CYP4CS5 exhibited certain capacity of metabolizing thiamethoxam and clothianidin. These in vivo and in vitro assays indicate an essential role of CYP4CS5 in conferring thiamethoxam and clothianidin resistance in whitefly. Additionally, our life-table analysis demonstrate that the field resistant whitefly exhibited a prolonged development time, shortened longevity and reduced fecundity compared to the susceptible, suggesting an existing fitness cost as a result of the resistance. CONCLUSION Collectively, in addition to the important role of CYP4CS5 in conferring thiamethoxam and clothianidin resistance, this resistance mechanism is associated with fitness costs in the whitefly. These findings not only contribute to the development of neonicotinoids resistance management strategies, but also provide a new target for sustainable whitefly control. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a major agricultural insect pest that causes severe economic losses worldwide. Several insecticides have been applied to effectively control this key pest. However, owing to the indiscriminate use of chemical insecticides, B. tabaci has developed resistance against these chemical compounds over the past several years. RESULTS From 2019 to 2021, 23 field samples of B. tabaci were collected across China. Twenty species were identified as the Mediterranean 'Q' type (MED) and three were identified as MED/ Middle East-Asia Minor 1 mixtures. Subsequently, resistance of the selected populations to different insecticides was evaluated. The results showed that 13 populations developed low levels of resistance to abamectin. An overall upward trend in B. tabaci resistance toward spirotetramat, cyantraniliprole and pyriproxyfen was observed. In addition, resistance to thiamethoxam remained low-to-moderate in the 23 field populations. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the overall resistance of the field-collected B. tabaci populations has shown an upward trend over the years in China. We believe our study can provide basic data to support integrated pest management and insecticide resistance management of field B. tabaci in China. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 37926315 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
The sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is an important insect pest that transmits over 200 different plant viruses and causes serious damage to the production of cotton and Solanaceae vegetables. Cyantraniliprole is the first diamide insecticide, showing toxicity against B. tabaci. However, B. tabaci has developed resistance to this insecticide by upregulating the expressions of cytochrome P450 genes such as CYP6CX3, while there is limited information on the regulatory mechanism mediated by miRNA. In the present study, ten miRNAs were predicted to target CYP6CX3, in which miR-276-3p showed an inverse expression pattern with CYP6CX3 in two cyantraniliprole resistant strains and under cyantraniliprole exposure. A luciferase assay demonstrated that miR-276-3p suppressed CYP6CX3 expression by pairing with residues 1445-1453. Overexpression or knockdown of miR-276-3p directly impacted B. tabaci resistance to cyantraniliprole. In addition, exposure to cyantraniliprole led to a significant reduction in the expressions of five genes (drosha, dicer1, dicer2, Ago1, and Ago2A) associated with miRNA biogenesis. Suppressing genes such as drosha, dicer1, and Ago2A reduced the expression of miR-276-3p, increased CYP6CX3 expression, and decreased B. tabaci resistance to cyantraniliprole. These results improve our understanding of the role of miRNAs in P450 regulation and cyantraniliprole resistance in B. tabaci.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:3883-3892. [PMID: 37226658 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Difference in physiology level between the immature and mature stages of insects likely contribute to different mechanisms of insecticide resistance. It is well acknowledged that insect 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) plays an important role in many biological processes in the immature stage, whether 20E confers insecticide resistance at this specific stage is still poorly understood. By gene cloning, reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR, RNA interference (RNAi) and in vitro metabolism experiments, this study aimed to investigate the potential role of 20E-related genes in conferring imidacloprid (IMD) resistance in the immature stage of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean. RESULTS After identification of low to moderate IMD resistance in the whitefly, we found CYP306A1 of the six 20E-related genes was overexpressed in the nymph stage of the three resistant strains compared to a laboratory reference susceptible strain, but not in the adult stage. Further exposure to IMD resulted in an increase in CYP306A1 expression in the nymph stage. These results together imply that CYP306A1 may be implicated in IMD resistance in the nymph stage of the whitefly. RNAi knockdown of CYP306A1 increased the mortality of nymphs after treatment with IMD in bioassay, suggesting a pivotal role of CYP306A1 in conferring IMD resistance in the nymph stage. Additionally, our metabolism experiments in vivo showed that the content of IMD reduced by 20% along with cytochrome P450 reductase and heterologously expressed CYP306A1, which provides additional evidence for the important function of CYP306A1 in metabolizing IMD that leads to the resistance. CONCLUSION This study uncovers a novel function of the 20E biosynthesis gene CYP306A1 in metabolizing imidacloprid, thus contributing to such resistance in the immature stage of the insect. These findings not only advance our understanding of 20E-mediated insecticide resistance, but also provide a new target for sustainable pest control of global insect pests such as whitefly. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 37532309 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
High level resistance for a variety of insecticides has emerged in Bemisia tabaci, a globally notorious insect. Neonicotinoid insecticides have been applied widely to control B. tabaci. Whether a differentially expressed gene CYP6DB3 discovered from transcriptome data of B. tabaci is involved in the resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides remains unclear. In the study, CYP6DB3 expression was significantly up-regulated in both thiamethoxam- and imidacloprid-resistant strains relative to the susceptive strains. We also found that CYP6DB3 expression was up-regulated after B. tabaci adults were exposed to thiamethoxam and imidacloprid. Moreover, knocking down CYP6DB3 expression via feeding corresponding dsRNA significantly reduced CYP6DB3 mRNA levels by 34.1%. Silencing CYP6DB3 expression increased the sensitivity of B. tabaci Q adults against both thiamethoxam and imidacloprid. Overexpression of CYP6DB3 gene reduced the toxicity of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam to transgenic D. melanogaster. In addition, metabolic studies showed that CYP6DB3 can metabolize 24.41% imidacloprid in vitro. Collectively, these results strongly support that CYP6DB3 plays an important role in the resistance of B. tabaci Q to imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. This work will facilitate a deeper insight into the part of cytochrome P450s in the evolution of insecticide resistance and provide a theoretical basis for the development of new integrated pest resistance management.

Abstract
Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Gennadius) is a notorious pest that is capable of feeding on >600 kinds of agricultural crops. Imidacloprid is critical in managing pest with sucking mouthparts, such as B. tabaci. However, the field population of B. tabaci has evolved resistance because of insecticide overuse. The overexpression of the detoxification enzyme cytochrome P450 monooxygenase is considered the main mechanism of imidacloprid resistance, but the mechanism underlying gene regulation remains unclear. MicroRNAs are a type of endogenous small molecule compounds that is fundamental in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Whether miRNAs are related to the imidacloprid resistance of B. tabaci remains unknown. To gain deep insight into imidacloprid resistance, we conducted on miRNAs expression profiling of two B. tabaci Mediterranean (MED) strains with 19-fold resistance through deep sequencing of small RNAs. A total of 8 known and 1591 novel miRNAs were identified. In addition, 16 miRNAs showed significant difference in expression levels between the two strains, as verified by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Among these, novel_miR-376, 1517, and 1136 significantly expressed at low levels in resistant samples, decreasing by 36.9%, 60.2%, and 15.6%, respectively. Moreover, modulating novel_miR-1517 expression by feeding with 1517 inhibitor and 1517 mimic significantly affected B. tabaci imidacloprid susceptibility by regulating CYP6CM1 expression. In this article, miRNAs related to imidacloprid resistance of B. tabaci were systematically screened and identified, providing important information for the miRNA-based technological innovation for this pest management.

Abstract
The sweet potato whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a major agricultural pest with a wide host range throughout the world. The species designation for B. tabaci includes numerous distinct cryptic species or biotypes. Two invasive B. tabaci biotypes, MEAM1 (B) and MED (Q), were found in China at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century. MEAM1 (B) and MED (Q) show higher pesticide resistance levels than native strains, and the levels of resistance vary with changes in insecticide selection pressure. Recent studies have revealed metabolic resistance mechanisms and target site mutations in invasive B. tabaci strains that render them resistant to a range of insecticides and have uncovered the frequency of these resistance-related mutations in B. tabaci populations in China. Novel pest control agents, such as RNA-based pesticides and nano-pesticides, have achieved effective control effects in the laboratory and are expected to be applied for field control of B. tabaci in the future. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of resistance developed by these invasive B. tabaci populations since their invasion into China. We also provide suggestions for ecologically sound and efficient B. tabaci control.

Abstract
Bemisia tabaci has developed high resistance to many insecticides and causes substantial agricultural and economic losses annually. The insecticide resistance of whitefly has been widely reported in previous studies; however, the underlying mechanism remains little known. In this study, we cloned two P450 genes: CYP6DW3 and CYP6DW5v1; these genes were markedly overexpressed in imidacloprid-resistant whitefly populations compared with susceptible populations, and knockdown of these genes decreased the imidacloprid resistance of whitefly. Moreover, heterologous expression of whitefly P450 genes in SF9 cells and metabolic studies showed that the CYP6DW3 protein could metabolize 14.11% imidacloprid and produced imidacloprid-urea in vitro. Collectively, the expression levels of CYP6DW3 and CYP6DW5v1 are positively correlated with imidacloprid resistance in B. tabaci. Our study further reveals that cytochrome P450 enzymes affect the physiological activities related to resistance in insects, which helps scholars more deeply understand the resistance mechanism, and contributes to the development of integrated pest management framework.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters regulate the efflux of a broad spectrum of substrates to extracellular transporting, which play an important role in the detoxification process in arthropods. Here, we described a comprehensive approach to explore the involvement of ABC transporters in spirotetramat resistance in cotton aphids. In this study, synergism bioassays showed 17.05% and 35.42% increases in the toxicity to spirotetramat with the ABC inhibitor verapamil in adult and 3rd instar nymph aphids of the SR strain, respectively. In a competitive assay based on the microinjection of a fluorescent ABC transporter substrate, verapamil (a general ABC inhibitor) and spirotetramat significantly inhibited the elimination of Texas Red. Based on transcriptome data of midguts of spirotetramat-susceptible (SS) and -resistant (SR) strains, the expression levels of ABCB4, ABCB5, ABCF2, MRP11, and MRP12 were significantly upregulated in the SR strain midgut compared to that of the SS strain. Gene functional analysis based on ectopic expression and RNA interference (RNAi) proved that ABCB4, ABCB5, ABCF2, MRP11, and MRP12 were involved in the tolerance of cotton aphids to spirotetramat. Moreover, the upregulated ABCF2, ABCB4, and ABCB5 in the midgut of the SR strain contributed more to the resistance of spirotetramat in in vitro functional analysis. In summary, these results demonstrate that candidate ABC transporter genes in the midgut tissue were involved in spirotetramat resistance, which will help reveal the relationship between ABC transporters and the development of spirotetramat resistance in field populations.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2022; 70:12398-12407.

Abstract
Bemisia tabaci is an important agricultural sucking pest, and it develops serious resistance to various insecticides. Although cytochrome P450 was involved in the resistance to cyantraniliprole, limited studies have been conducted on B. tabaci. In the present study, piperonyl butoxide significantly increased the toxicity of cyantraniliprole. P450 activities in two resistant populations were 1.97- and 2.17-fold higher than that in the susceptible population. Among 79 P450 genes, CYP6CX3 expressions in two resistant populations were 3.08- and 3.67-fold higher than that in the susceptible population. When CYP6CX3 was knocked down, the toxicity of cyantraniliprole increased significantly. The LC50 value of cyantraniliprole to the Drosophila melanogaster line overexpressing B. tabaci CYP6CX3 increased 7.34-fold. The content of cyantraniliprole was decreased by 25.74 ± 4.27% after mixing with CYP6CX3 and CPR for 2 h. These results suggested that the overexpression of CYP6CX3 was likely involved in the resistance to cyantraniliprole in B. tabaci.

Abstract
A growing number of studies have focused on the microRNA (miRNA) expression in Bemisia tabaci, one devastating agricultural insect pest of the tropical and subtropical areas for which the primary means of control are insecticides. In studying the genetic underpinnings of insecticide resistance, the choice of stable reference genes for normalizing data plays a key role to acquire unbiased expression profile results from quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis. Expression profiles of 11 selected reference genes were determined systematically in B. tabaci exposure to 11 insecticides. Furthermore, we assessed the stability of all the selected candidates in relation to other variables including sex, tissue type, and developmental stage. Candidate reference gene validation was conducted by analyzing the let-7-5p expression under various experimental treatments. Five programs BestKeeper, NormFinder, geNorm, △Ct, and RefFinder were applied to verify the accuracy of the selected candidates. Our results displayed that the best choices of the selected candidates for pymetrozine, sulfoxaflor, flonicamid, cyantraniliprole, afidopyropen, and deltamethrin treatment were miR-1-3p and miR-100-5p, U6 and miR-100-5p were best for chlorpyrifos and imidacloprid treatments, and U6 and miR-1-3p were best for flupyradifurone and β-cypermethrin treatments. The reference genes miR-624, miR-252, and miR-275 worked best in adult tissues, miR-100-5p and miR-1-3p worked best in either sex, and miR-624 and miR-11 were best to use across developmental stages. Not even one reference gene was found to be suitable for all experimental conditions. Our results contributed to the growing body of the literature on qPCR reference gene selection under various experimental conditions and facilitate further investigation on gene expression changes in B. tabaci, resulting from pesticide exposure.

Abstract
This study investigates pesticide levels in celery, and compares their degradation, dissipation, distribution, and dietary risk after spraying with selenium (Se) nanoparticles. Abamectin, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, and lambda-cyhalothrin were sprayed at 1.6, 6.8, 2.0, 1.0, and 0.7 g a.i. ha−1 followed by a 2 g·ha−1 Se nanoparticle application during the growing period. Thiamethoxam, abamectin, imidacloprid, lambda-cyhalothrin, and acetamiprid in celery degraded following a first order kinetic model after 2 g·ha−1 Se nanoparticles application. With the exception of acetamiprid, the half-lives of thiamethoxam, abamectin, imidacloprid, and lambda-cyhalothrin were reduced from 2.4, 0.5, 1.2, 4.2 days without Se nanoparticles application to 1.4, 0.2, 0.9, 3.7 days with the addition of Se nanoparticles (2 g·ha−1), respectively. The chronic dietary exposure risk probability (RQc) and the acute dietary exposure risk probability (RQa) of celery after Se nanoparticles application were within acceptable limits for consumption except for abamectin.
