Frequency and spatial distribution of knock-down resistance (kdr) to pyrethroids in multiple oilseed rape pest species of the genus Ceutorhynchus. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2024; 80:2314-2324. [PMID: 37183587 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The protection of European oilseed rape (OSR) from damaging insects relies on pyrethroid insecticides, but the development of resistance in key coleopteran pests such as the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus) and the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) has resulted in reduced effectiveness of these insecticides. The sodium channel gene mutation L1014F knock-down resistance (kdr) is a contributing factor in resistance to pyrethroids in B. aeneus and P. chrysocephala, but little is known about the status of resistance in weevils of the genus Ceutorhynchus (Coleoptera: Curculonidae). Therefore, the present study investigated pyrethroid susceptibility and the presence of the kdr mutation in four Ceutorhynchus species. RESULTS The kdr mutation in either its heterozygous or homozygous form was found in all investigated Ceutorhynchus species (C. picitarsis, C. pallidactylus, C. napi and C. obstrictus). Samples where pyrethroids in bioassays still provided control at 100% field rate or below contained kdr at frequencies of ≤12.5%, whilst bioassays using 100% field rate that did not control Ceutorhynchus populations contained homozygous resistant individuals at frequencies of greater than 55%. Field sampling demonstrated that kdr frequencies in populations of C. picitarsis and C. obstrictus collected from across France and Germany ranged from 0 to 100%. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated the potential of all four Ceutorhynchus species tested to develop pyrethroid resistance via the L1014F (kdr) mutation. Although kdr frequency varies among species and geographic locations, the risk of loss of pyrethroid insecticide effectiveness is high. Integration of other control tools for resistance management is therefore needed. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Genetic models of adaptation to a new environment have typically assumed that the alleles involved maintain a constant fitness dominance across the old and new environments. However, theories of dominance suggest that this should often not be the case. Instead, the alleles involved should frequently shift from recessive deleterious in the old environment to dominant beneficial in the new environment. Here, we study the consequences of these expected dominance shifts for the genetics of adaptation to a new environment. We find that dominance shifts increase the likelihood that adaptation occurs from standing variation, and that multiple alleles from the standing variation are involved (a soft selective sweep). Furthermore, we find that expected dominance shifts increase the haplotypic diversity of selective sweeps, rendering soft sweeps more detectable in small genomic samples. In cases where an environmental change threatens the viability of the population, we show that expected dominance shifts of newly beneficial alleles increase the likelihood of evolutionary rescue and the number of alleles involved. Finally, we apply our results to a well-studied case of adaptation to a new environment: the evolution of pesticide resistance at the Ace locus in Drosophila melanogaster. We show that, under reasonable demographic assumptions, the expected dominance shift of resistant alleles causes soft sweeps to be the most frequent outcome in this case, with the primary source of these soft sweeps being the standing variation at the onset of pesticide use, rather than recurrent mutation thereafter.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2020; 76:4009-4017. [PMID: 32506643 DOI: 10.1002/ps.5952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 06/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is a voracious predator frequently used in biological control programs to suppress pest populations of economic importance. However, it performs its duty in a challenging environment where various stress factors such as non-target effects of insecticides limit expected outcomes. A study providing details of genetics, cross-resistance, realized heritability, and stability of insect growth regulators (IGRs) resistance such as pyriproxyfen in this bio-control agent is essential. RESULTS Selection with pyriproxyfen, an IGR, resulted in 3092.10-fold and 39.60-fold resistance when judged against Susceptible and Field Pop, respectively. Very low cross-resistance to buprofezin while no cross-resistance to acetamiprid and spinosad was observed. Incompletely dominant, autosomal and polygenic resistance was also associated with high realized heritability (h2 = 0.35). Furthermore, resistance to pyriproxyfen was stable in this bio-control agent. CONCLUSION These findings make Chrysoperla carnea an ideal fit in integrated pest management (IPM) programs where biological control approaches are employed in combination with IGRs sprays to control various insect pests especially Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. Releasing pyriproxyfen-resistant Chrysoperla carnea in a multi-sprayed cropping environment would help to keep pest population below economic threshold level. It would also minimize risk of insecticide resistance development in pests surviving even after several insecticide applications. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The green plant bug Apolygus lucorum is a major pest of Bacillus thuringiensis cotton in China. Previously, we reported that chlorpyrifos resistance in a laboratory-selected strain of A. lucorum (BZ-R) is associated with the homozygosis of an allele in the ace-1 gene encoding an alanine to serine substitution at position 216 of acetylcholinesterase-1. Here we describe the results of crosses between the resistant BZ-R strain (41-fold to chlorpyrifos) and the unselected susceptible BZ-S strain homozygous for the wild type alanine allele at position 216. Resistance to chlorpyrifos was inherited as a semi-dominant trait mainly controlled by a single autosomal gene and co-segregates strongly but not completely with the serine substitution in ace-1. Synergism bioassays and enzyme assays showed that minor contributions to resistance are also made by enhanced cytochrome P450 and carboxylesterase activities. A survey of 25 field populations from five Chinese provinces showed strong positive correlations between 50% lethal concentration against chlorpyrifos and S216 allele and genotype frequencies, although the most tolerant populations still only show 40%-50% S216 allele frequencies. The results above provide important information for designing effective resistance monitoring and management strategies for A. lucorum in China.

Abstract
Pathogens are thought to exert strong selection on their hosts leading to increased host resistance. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Bkt) is a ubiquitous entomopathogen that has become the mainstay of nonchemical control of Lepidopteran pests and thus, the potential exists for the evolution of resistance in targeted host insects. We have studied the expression of Btk resistance in the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner). For this generalist insect herbivore, three common host plants, tomato, pepper and cucumber, vary in suitability for larval growth and development. Here we show that the host plant also affects the overall toxicity of Btk, the relative expression of resistance between a resistant and a susceptible line and their F(1) reciprocal crosses, and importantly, the dominance of the resistance trait. This study demonstrates that tri-trophic interactions involving an insect, host plants and a pathogen have the potential to strongly influence the evolutionary response of an insect host to a pathogen.

Abstract
The refuge strategy is used widely for delaying evolution of insect resistance to transgenic crops that produce Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins. Farmers grow refuges of host plants that do not produce Bt toxins to promote survival of susceptible pests. Many modelling studies predict that refuges will delay resistance longest if alleles conferring resistance are rare, most resistant adults mate with susceptible adults, and Bt plants have sufficiently high toxin concentration to kill heterozygous progeny from such matings. In contrast, based on their model of the cotton pest Heliothis virescens, Vacher et al. (Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 16, 2003, 378) concluded that low rather than high toxin doses would delay resistance most effectively. We demonstrate here that their conclusion arises from invalid assumptions about larval concentration-mortality responses and dominance of resistance. Incorporation of bioassay data from H. virescens and another key cotton pest (Pectinophora gossypiella) into a population genetic model shows that toxin concentrations high enough to kill all or nearly all heterozygotes should delay resistance longer than lower concentrations.

Abstract
Resistance to the insecticide DDT in the mosquito vectors of malaria has severely hampered efforts to control this disease and has contributed to the increase in prevalence of malaria cases seen in recent years. Over 90% of the 300-500 million annual cases of malaria occur in Africa, where the major vector is Anopheles gambiae. DDT resistance in the ZAN/U strain of An. gambiae is associated with an increased metabolism of the insecticide, catalysed by members of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme family, but the molecular mechanism underlying this metabolic resistance is not known. Genetic crosses show that resistance is autosomal and semidominant. We have used microsatellite markers to identify two quantitative trait loci (QTL), which together explain over 50% of the variance in susceptibility to DDT in the ZAN/U strain of An. gambiae. The first locus, rtd1, is on chromosome 3 between markers H341 and H88 and has a recessive effect with respect to susceptibility. The second locus, rtd2 is on chromosome 2L, close to marker H325 and has an additive genetic effect. The markers flanking these two QTL have been physically mapped to An. gambiae polytene chromosomes. They do not coincide with any of the GST genes that have been cloned and mapped in this species. Characterization of these QTL will lead to a clearer understanding of the mechanisms of metabolic resistance to DDT.

Abstract
Effects of knockdown resistance (kdr) were investigated in three pyrethroid-resistant (RR) strains of the Afrotropical mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae): Kou from Burkina Faso, Tola and Yao from Côte d'Ivoire; compared with a standard susceptible (SS) strain from Kisumu, Kenya. The kdr factor was incompletely recessive, conferring 43-fold resistance ratio at LD50 level and 29-fold at LD95 level, as determined by topical application tests with Kou strain. When adult mosquitoes were exposed to 0.25% permethrin-impregnated papers, the 50% and 95% knockdown times (KdT) were 23 and 42 min for SS females, compared with 40 and 62 min for RS (F1 Kou x Kisumu) females. On 1% permethrin the KdT50 and KdT95 were 11 and 21 min for SS compared with 18 and 33 min for RS females. Following 1 h exposure to permethrin (0.25% or 1%), no significant knockdown of Kou RR females occurred within 24 h. Permethrin irritancy to An. gambiae was assessed by comparing 'time to first take-off' (TO) for females. The standard TO50 and TO95 values for Kisumu SS on untreated paper were 58 and 1044 s, respectively, vs. 3.7 and 16.5 s on 1% permethrin. For Kou RR females the comparable values were 27.3 s for TO50 and 294 s for TO95, with intermediate RS values of 10.1 s for TO50 and 71.9 s for TO95. Thus, TO values for RS were 2.7-4.4 times more than for SS, and those for RR were 7-18 times longer than for SS. Experiments with pyrethroid-impregnated nets were designed to induce hungry female mosquitoes to pass through holes cut in the netting. Laboratory 'tunnel tests' used a bait guinea-pig to attract mosquitoes through circular holes (5 x 1 cm) in a net screen. With untreated netting, 75-83% of laboratory-reared females passed through the holes overnight, 63-69% blood-fed successfully and 9-17% died, with no significant differences between SS and RR genotypes. When the netting was treated with permethrin 250mg ai/m2 the proportions that passed through the holes overnight were only 10% of SS vs. 40-46% of RR (Tola & Kou); mortality rates were 100% of SS compared with 59-82% of RR; bloodmeals were obtained by 9% of Kou RR and 17% of Tola RR, but none of the Kisumu SS females. When the net was treated with deltamethrin 25 mg ai/m2 the proportions of An. gambiae that went through the holes and blood-fed successfully were 3.9% of Kisumu SS and 3.5% of Yaokoffikro field population (94% R). Mortality rates were 97% of Kisumu SS vs. 47% of Yaokoffikro R. Evidently this deltamethrin treatment was sufficient to kill nearly all SS and half of the Yaokoffikro R An. gambiae population despite its high kdr frequency. Experimental huts at Yaokoffikro were used for overnight evaluation of bednets against An. gambiae females. The huts were sealed to prevent egress of mosquitoes released at 20.00 hours and collected at 05.00 hours. Each net was perforated with 225 square holes (2 x 2 cm). A man slept under the net as bait. With untreated nets, only 4-6% of mosquitoes died overnight and bloodmeals were taken by 17% of SS vs. 29% of Yaokoffikro R (P<0.05). Nets treated with permethrin 500 mg/m2 caused mortality rates of 95% Kisumu SS and 45% Yao R (P<0.001) and blood-feeding rates were reduced to 1.3% of SS vs. 8.1% of Yao R (P<0.05). Nets treated with deltamethrin 25 mg/m2 caused mortality rates of 91% Kisumu SS and 54% Yao R (P<0.001) and reduced blood-feeding rates to zero for SS vs. 2.5% for Yao R (P>0.05).
