Abstract
Insecticide resistance in insects severely threatens both human health and agriculture, making insecticides less compelling and valuable, leading to frequent pest management failures, rising input costs, lowering crop yields, and disastrous public health. Insecticide resistance results from multiple factors, mainly indiscriminate insecticide usage and mounted selection pressure on insect populations. Insects respond to insecticide stress at the cellular level by modest yet significant genetic propagations. Transcriptional, co-transcriptional, and post-transcriptional regulatory signals of cells in organisms regulate the intricate processes in gene expressions churning the genetic information in transcriptional units into proteins and non-coding transcripts. Upregulation of detoxification enzymes, notably cytochrome P450s (CYPs), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), esterases [carboxyl choline esterase (CCE), carboxyl esterase (CarE)] and ATP Binding Cassettes (ABC) at the transcriptional level, modification of target sites, decreased penetration, or higher excretion of insecticides are the noted insect physiological responses. The transcriptional regulatory pathways such as AhR/ARNT, Nuclear receptors, CncC/Keap1, MAPK/CREB, and GPCR/cAMP/PKA were found to regulate the detoxification genes at the transcriptional level. Post-transcriptional changes of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as microRNAs (miRNA), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), and epitranscriptomics, including RNA methylation, are reported in resistant insects. Additionally, genetic modifications such as mutations in the target sites and copy number variations (CNV) are also influencing insecticide resistance. Therefore, these cellular intricacies may decrease insecticide sensitivity, altering the concentrations or activities of proteins involved in insecticide interactions or detoxification. The cellular episodes at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels pertinent to insecticide resistance responses in insects are extensively covered in this review. An overview of molecular mechanisms underlying these biological rhythms allows for developing alternative pest control methods to focus on insect vulnerabilities, employing reverse genetics approaches like RNA interference (RNAi) technology to silence particular resistance-related genes for sustained insect management.

Abstract
Arthropods have well adapted to the vast array of chemicals they encounter in their environment. Whether these xenobiotics are plant allelochemicals or anthropogenic insecticides one of the strategies they have developed to defend themselves is the induction of detoxification enzymes. Although upregulation of detoxification enzymes and efflux transporters in response to specific inducers has been well described, in insects, yet, little is known on the transcriptional regulation of these genes. Over the past twenty years, an increasing number of studies with insects have used advanced genetic tools such as RNAi, CRISPR/Cas9 and reporter gene assays to dissect the genomic grounds of their xenobiotic response and hence contributed substantially in improving our knowledge on the players involved. Xenobiotics are partly recognized by various "xenobiotic sensors" such as membrane-bound or nuclear receptors. This initiates a molecular reaction cascade ultimately leading to the translocation of a transcription factor to the nucleus that recognizes and binds to short sequences located upstream their target genes to activate transcription. To date, a number of signaling pathways were shown to mediate the upregulation of detoxification enzymes in arthropods and to play a role in either metabolic resistance to insecticides or host-plant adaptation. These include nuclear receptors AhR/ARNT and HR96, GPCRs, CncC and MAPK/CREB. Recent work reveals that upregulation and activation of some components of these pathways as well as polymorphism in the binding motifs of transcription factors are linked to insects' adaptive processes. The aim of this mini-review is to summarize and describe recent work that shed some light on the main regulatory routes of detoxification gene expression in insects.

Abstract
Insect herbivores use phytochemicals as signals to induce expression of their phytochemical-detoxifying cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s). The regulatory cascades that transduce phytochemical signals to enhanced expression of P450s are the focus of this review. At least seven signaling pathways, including RTK/MAPK, GPCR/CREB, GPCR/NFκB, ROS/CncC/Keap1, AhR/ARNT, cytosol NR, and nucleus-located NR, may be involved in phytochemical induction of P450s. Constitutive overexpression, overphosphorylation, and/or activation of one or more effectors in the corresponding pathway are common causes of P450 overexpression that lead to phytochemical or insecticide resistance. Future research should pay more attentions to the starting point of each pathway, the number of pathways and their cross talk for a given phytochemical, and the pathways for downregulation of P450s.

Abstract
Alcohol dehydrogenase 5 (ADH5) is a member of medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family and takes part in cellular formaldehyde and S-nitrosoglutathione metabolic network. 2-tridecanone (2-TD) is a toxic compound in many Solanaceae crops to defend against a variety of herbivory insects. In the broader context of insect development and pest control strategies, this study investigates how a new ADH5 from Helicoverpa armigera (HaADH5) regulates the expression of CYP6B6, a gene involved in molting and metamorphosis, in response to 2-TD treatment. Cloning of the HaADH5 complementary DNA sequence revealed that its 1002 bp open reading frame encodes 334 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 36.5 kD. HaADH5 protein was purified in the Escherichia coli Transetta (pET32a-HaADH5) strain using a prokaryotic expression system. The ability of HaADH5 protein to interact with the 2-TD responsive region within the promoter of CYP6B6 was confirmed by an in vitro electrophoretic mobility shift assay and transcription activity validation in yeast. Finally, the expression levels of both HaADH5 and CYP6B6 were found to be significantly decreased in the midgut of 6th instar larvae after 48 h of treatment with 10 mg/g 2-TD artificial diet. These results indicate that upon 2-TD treatment of cotton bollworm, HaADH5 regulates the expression of CYP6B6 by interacting with its promoter. As HaADH5 regulation of CYP6B6 expression may contribute to the larval xenobiotic detoxification, molting and metamorphosis, HaADH5 is a candidate target for controlling the growth and development of cotton bollworm.

Abstract
The quarantine insect pest Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) has a broad host range and is distributed worldwide. Each year, P. solenopsis causes significant crop losses. The detoxification of various xenobiotic compounds involves the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP) superfamily of enzymes. However, the functions of CYPs in P. solenopsis are poorly understood. In the present study, P. solenopsis was reared from the egg to the adult stage on three host plants: Tomato, cotton, and hibiscus. Thirty-seven P. solenopsis CYP genes were identified and their phylogenetic relationships were analyzed. Eleven CYP genes (PsCYP4NT1, PsCYP4G219, PsCYP6PZ1, PsCYP6PZ5, PsCYP301B1, PsCYP302A1, PsCYP305A22, PsCYP315A1, PsCYP353F1, PsCYP3634A1, and PsCYP3635A2) were selected for quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The results demonstrated marked differences in CYP expression levels in P. solenopsis grown on different host plants. The results will aid the molecular characterization of CYPs and will increase our understanding of CYP expression patterns in P. solenopsis during development and growth on different hosts.

Abstract
Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenases play an important role in plant allelochemical detoxification. In this study, a full-length gene CYP305A1 of the P450 Clan 2 family was cloned from Aphis gossypii Glover, and its promoter was identified and characterized. The transcript level of CYP305A1 and its promoter activity were significantly induced by two plant allelochemicals, gossypol and 2-tridecanone. Furthermore, the 5'-end promoter region from -810 to +62 bp was demonstrated to be essential for basal transcriptional activity of CYP305A1, and the promoter region from -810 to -581 bp was shown as an essential plant allelochemical responsive element and had a cis-element 5'-CACACTA-3' as the binding site of aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Interestingly, there was an identical overlapping region of 1,094 bp between CYP305A1 promoter and the venom protease gene. When the expression of CYP305A1 gene was knocked down by RNA interference with CYP305A1 dsRNA, the expression of the venom protease gene was decreased. However, the knockdown of the expression of the venom protease gene did not affect the CYP305A1 expression. These results provide important insights for understanding the functions of P450 genes and the regulatory mechanism of P450 gene expressions in the resistance of Aphis gossypii Glover to plant allelochemicals.

Abstract
As a polyphagous insect, little is known at the molecular level about the effects of different host plants on physiological changes in Phenacoccus solenopsis. In this study, four heat shock protein (Hsp) genes (PsHsp60, PsHsp70, PsHsp90, and PsHsp20.7) were identified from the transcriptome of P. solenopsis. Analysis of Hsp expression levels revealed significant differences in Hsp gene expression levels in P. solenopsis fed on different host plants. In host conversion tests, the expression levels of PsHsp90 and PsHsp60 were upregulated after transfer of second instar nymphs from tomato to cotton. The expression levels of PsHsp70 and PsHsp20.7 were, respectively, significantly upregulated at 9 and 48 hr after transfer from tomato to Hibiscus. The results of this study aid molecular characterization and understanding of the expression patterns of Hsp genes during different developmental stages and host transfer of P. solenopsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of P450 genes in insects can be induced by plant allelochemicals. To understand the induction mechanisms, we measured the expression profiles of three P450 genes and their promoter activities under the induction of plant allelochemicals. RESULTS The inducible expression of CYP6CY19 was the highest among three genes, followed by those of CYP6CY22 and CYP6DA1. The regions from -687 to +586 bp of CYP6DA1, from -666 to +140 bp of CYP6CY19 and from -530 to +218 bp of CYP6CY22 were essential for basal transcriptional activity. The cis-elements for plant allelochemicals induction were identified between -193 and +56 bp of CYP6DA1, between -157 and +140 bp of CYP6CY19 and between -108 and +218 bp of CYP6CY22. These promoter regions were found to contain a potential aryl hydrocarbon receptor element binding site with a conservative sequence motif 5'-C/TAC/ANCA/CA-3'. All these four plant allelochemicals were able to induce the expression of these P450 genes. Tannic acid had a better inductive effect than other three plant allelochemicals. CONCLUSIONS Our study identified the plant allelochemical responsive cis-elements. This provides further research targets aimed at understanding the regulatory mechanisms of P450 genes expression and their interactions with plant allelochemicals in insect pests. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The expression level of cytochrome P450 genes in insects can be induced by plant allelochemicals, which is important for insects to adapt to host plants. Cytochrome P450 CYP6B7 has been reported to be involved in pyrethroid insecticide resistance in Helicoverpa armigera, and its transcription level was induced by some inducers. Currently, the regulatory mechanism of the induced expression of CYP6B7 remains unknown, although it is very important for understanding the detoxification mechanism to allelochemicals in host plants. The objective of the present study was to investigate the cis-acting element in the promoter of CYP6B7 mediating the inducible up-regulation of CYP6B7 in H. armigera by 2-tridecanone. The promoter region of CYP6B7 was cloned by genome walking technique and analyzed by transient transfection assay. Progressive 5' deletion of the promoter region of CYP6B7 revealed that the relative luciferase activity of construct -320/+232 could be significantly induced by 2-tridecanone. Further stepwise deletion between -320 and -238 bp found that construct -292/+232 could also be significantly induced by 2-tridecanone, but the adjacent construct -256/+232 could not, suggesting the essential role of the sequence between -292 and -257 bp for 2-tridecanone induction. Nucleotide mutations between -292 and -281 bp had no influence on the induction effect by 2-tridecanone, but nucleotide mutations between -280 and -257 bp significantly decreased the induction effect. These results demonstrated that the cis-acting element for 2-tridecanone induction was between -280 and -257 bp in the promoter of CYP6B7.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP enzymes) catalyze important metabolic reactions of exogenous and endogenous substrates, including fatty acid. In this study, we cloned the complete CDS of the cytochrome P450 2AA (CYP2AA) gene from the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) for the first time. CYP2AA consisted of 1500 bp, which encoded a predicted protein of 499 amino acids. The identities of CYP2AA between C. idella and zebrafish were 86%. It consists of the conserved heme-binding motif FXXGXXXCXG. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that CYP2AA mRNA in C. idella was highly expressed in liver and adipose tissue. The effects of fish oil and lard oil in diets on expression of CYP2AA mRNA in vivo were also investigated. The fish oil (FO) group exhibited significantly higher CYP2AA expression in adipose tissue than the lard oil (LO) group (P < 0.01), whereas the mRNA expression of CYP2AA was not notably different in liver. It suggested that the high abundance of CYP2AA mRNA expression in adipose tissue could be induced by fish oil. Our findings provided molecular characterization and expression profile of CYP2AA, and enhanced our understanding of CYP2AA in fish lipid metabolism.

Bamboo-Leaf Prickly Ash, Zanthoxylum armatum (Rutaceae) is a versatile and widely distributed plant species in nature. It is an edible plant species, commonly used in daily life for condiments and therapeutic remedies. Besides its bioactive and medicinal properties, different plant parts of the Z. armatum also have insecticidal potential. However, this potential has not been yet determined against many agricultural pests, including leaf worm, Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). In this study, we demonstrated for the first time the contact and oral toxicity and sub-lethal effects (including antifeedent and ovicidal action) of various fractions of pericarp, leaf and seeds of Z. armatum against S. litura. Overall findings revealed that the n-hexane pericarp extract of Z. armatum has strong antifeedent, ovicidal and larvicidal properties against S. litura. Sub-lethal doses of pericarp extract can negatively alter the biology of S. litura. Since n-hexane extract of leaves also has better larvicidal properties, it could also be utilized for the S. litura management during period of unavailability of fruits (or pericarp). Accordingly, the Z. armatum pericarp and leaf extract has tremendous commercial utilization potential for the management of polyphagus pests like S. litura and other related species, which are quite difficult to manage even by chemical pesticides.

Abstract
In insect, the cytochrome P450 plays a pivotal role in detoxification to toxic allelochemicals. Helicoverpa armigera can tolerate and survive in 2-tridecanone treatment owing to the CYP6B6 responsive expression, which is controlled by some regulatory DNA sequences and transcription regulators. Therefore, the 2-tridecanone responsive region and transcription regulators of the CYP6B6 are responsible for detoxification of cotton bollworm. In this study, we used yeast one-hybrid to screen two potential transcription regulators of the CYP6B6 from H. armigera that respond to the plant secondary toxicant 2-tridecanone, which were named Prey1 and Prey2, respectively. According to the NCBI database blast, Prey1 is the homology with FK506 binding protein (FKBP) of Manduca sexta and Bombyx mori that belongs to the FKBP-C superfamily, while Prey2 may be a homology of an unknown protein of Papilio or the fcaL24 protein homology of B. mori. The electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that the FKBP of prokaryotic expression could specifically bind to the active region of the CYP6B6 promoter. After the 6th instar larvae of H. armigera reared on 2-tridecanone artificial diet, we found there were similar patterns of CYP6B6 and FKBP expression of the cotton bollworm treated with 10 mg g-1 2-tridecanone for 48 h, which correlation coefficient was the highest (0.923). Thus, the FKBP is identified as a strong candidate for regulation of the CYP6B6 expression, when the cotton bollworm is treated with 2-tridecanone. This may lead us to a better understanding of transcriptional mechanism of CYP6B6 and provide very useful information for the pest control.
