THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 951:175712. [PMID: 39181260 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175712] [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: 07/09/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
Insecticide resistance monitoring is essential for guiding chemical pest control and resistance management policies. Currently, rapid and effective technology for monitoring the resistance of tiny insects in the field is absent. Aphis gossypii Glover is a typical tiny insect, and one of the most frequently reported insecticide-resistant pests. In this study, we established a novel CRISPR/Cas12a-based rapid visual detection approach for detecting the V62I and R81T mutations in the β1 subunit of the nAChR in A. gossypii, to reflect target-site resistance to imidacloprid. Based on the nAChR β1 subunit gene in A. gossypii, the V62I/R81T-specific RPA primers and crRNAs were designed, and the ratio of 10 μM/2 μM/10 μM for ssDNA/Cas12a/crRNA was selected as the optimal dosage for the CRISPR reaction, ensuring that Cas12a only accurately recognizes imidacloprid-resistance templates. Our data show that the field populations of resistant insects possessing V62I and R81T mutations to imidacloprid can be accurately identified within one hour using the RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a detection approach under visible blue light at 440-460 nm. The protocol for RPA-CRISPR detection necessitates a single less than 2 mm specimen of A. gossypii tissues to perform RPA-CRISPR detection, and the process only requires a container at 37 °C and a portable blue light at 440-460 nm. Our research represents the first application of RPA-CRISPR technology in insecticide resistance detection, offers a new method for the resistance monitoring of A. gossypii or other tiny insects, helps delay the development of resistance to imidacloprid, improves the sustainability of chemical control, and provides theoretical guidance for managing pest resistance.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2024; 198:105760. [PMID: 38225067 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2023.105760] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Corynespora leaf spot, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, is a foliar disease in cucumber. While the application of quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) is an effective measure for disease control, it carries the risk of resistance development. In our monitoring of trifloxystrobin resistance from 2008 to 2020, C. cassiicola isolates were categorized into three populations: sensitive isolates (S, 0.01 < EC50 < 0.83 μg/mL), moderately resistant isolates (MR, 1.18 < EC50 < 55.67 μg/mL), and highly resistant isolates (HR, EC50 > 56.98 μg/mL). The resistance frequency reached up to 90% during this period, with an increasing trend observed in the annual average EC50 values of all the isolates. Analysis of the CcCytb gene revealed that both MR and HR populations carried the G143A mutation. Additionally, we identified mitochondrial heterogeneity, with three isolates carrying both G143 and A143 in MR and HR populations. Interestingly, isolates with the G143A mutation (G143A-MR and G143A-HR) displayed differential sensitivity to QoIs. Further experiments involving gene knockout and complementation demonstrated that the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter (CcMfs1) may contribute to the disparity in sensitivity to QoIs between the G143A-MR and G143A-HR populations. However, the difference in sensitivity caused by the CcMfs1 transporter is significantly lower than the differences observed between the two populations. This suggests additional mechanisms contributing to the variation in resistance levels among C. cassiicola isolates. Our study highlights the alarming level of trifloxystrobin resistance in C. cassiicola in China, emphasizing the need for strict prohibition of QoIs use. Furthermore, our findings shed light on the occurrence of both target and non-target resistance mechanisms associated with QoIs in C. cassiicola.

Target and non-target site mechanisms of fungicide resistance and their implications for the management of crop pathogens. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2023; 79:4731-4753. [PMID: 37592727 DOI: 10.1002/ps.7726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
Fungicides are indispensable for high-quality crops, but the rapid emergence and evolution of fungicide resistance have become the most important issues in modern agriculture. Hence, the sustainability and profitability of agricultural production have been challenged due to the limited number of fungicide chemical classes. Resistance to site-specific fungicides has principally been linked to target and non-target site mechanisms. These mechanisms change the structure or expression level, affecting fungicide efficacy and resulting in different and varying resistance levels. This review provides background information about fungicide resistance mechanisms and their implications for developing anti-resistance strategies in plant pathogens. Here, our purpose was to review changes at the target and non-target sites of quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides, methyl-benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) fungicides, demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides, and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides and to evaluate if they may also be associated with a fitness cost on crop pathogen populations. The current knowledge suggests that understanding fungicide resistance mechanisms can facilitate resistance monitoring and assist in developing anti-resistance strategies and new fungicide molecules to help solve this issue. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
