Abstract Thrips are tiny insects from the order Thysanoptera (Hexapoda: Condylognatha), including many sap‐sucking pests that causing increasing damage to crops worldwide. In contrast their closest relatives of Hemiptera numerous species, there few genomic resources available for thrips. this study, we assembled first thrips genome at chromosomal level melon thrips, palmi , a notorious pest in agriculture, using PacBio long‐read and Illumina short‐read sequences. The was 237.85 Mb size, with...
The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the most destructive agricultural pests worldwide, with highly debated species delimitation, origin, and global spread routes.Our study intended to (i) resolve taxonomic uncertainties between B. carambolae, (ii) reveal population structure invasion routes across Asia, Africa, Oceania, (iii) identify genomic regions that are responsible for thermal adaptation dorsalis.Based on a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome assembly, we...
Abstract The peach fruit moth (PFM), Carposina sasakii Matsumura, is a major phytophagous orchard pest widely distributed across Northeast Asia. Here, we report the chromosome‐level genome for PFM, representing first family Carposinidae, from lepidopteran superfamily Copromorphoidea. was assembled into 404.83 Mb sequences using PacBio long‐read and Illumina short‐read sequences, including 275 contigs, with contig N50 length of 2.62 Mb. All contigs were 31 linkage groups assisted by Hi‐C...
The melon thrips,
Flight capacity is important for invasive pests during entry, establishment and spreading. Both Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel correcta Bezzi are fruit flies but their flight capacities differ. Here, a tethered mill test demonstrated that B. exhibits greater than correcta. RNA-Seq was used to determine the transcriptomic differences associated with of two species. Transcriptome data showed 6392 unigenes were differentially expressed between species in larval stage, whereas adult 4104 genes...
Organosilicone molecules represent important components of surfactants added to pesticides improve pest control efficiency, but these also have pesticidal properties in their own right. Here, we examined toxicity and efficacy Silwet 408, a trisiloxane ethoxylate-based surfactant, the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae its crop hosts. 408 was toxic nymphs adults TSSM did not affect eggs. Field trials showed that 1000 mg/L aqueous solution reached 96% one day after spraying...
Insect mitochondrial genomes (mitogenome) generally present a typical gene order, which is considered as the ancestral arrangement. All sequenced mitogenomes in Thysanoptera display high levels of rearrangement. Due to limited number thrips sequenced, how rearrangement may be shaped by evolution remain unclear. Here, we analyzed 33 mitogenomes, including 14 newly sequenced. These were diverse organization, nucleotides substitution and arrangements. We found 28 highly rearranged orders with...
Maize lethal necrosis is attributed to the accumulation of maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV), an invasive transmitted by insect vectors. The western flower thrips (WFT) can shift host maize, thus promoting spread MCMV. However, our understanding characteristics and interactions involved in transmission MCMV still limited. This study finds that non-viruliferous WFTs showed a 57.56% higher preference for MCMV-infected plants compared healthy plants, while viruliferous 53.70% plants. We also...
Putative mechanisms underlying spinosyn resistance have been identified in controlled studies on many species; however, field-evolved and the development of a molecular diagnostic method for monitoring field lagged behind. Here, we examined levels melon thrips, Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera:Thripidae), to spinetoram as well target site mutations populations across China identify potential useful markers quantifying purposes. In resistant populations, G275E mutation, which has previously...
Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker), which especially infests wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.), could cause serious economic losses every year in China, to organic production. In some important plantings, it is difficult and time-consuming rear the larvae or pupae adults for morphological identification. Molecular identification based on DNA barcode a solution problem. this study, 15 samples were collected from Ningxia, China. Among them, five identified according their characteristics. The utility...
Abstract With further climate change still expected, it is predicted to increase the frequency with plants will be water stressed, which subsequently influences phytophagous insects, particularly Lepidoptera limited mobility of larvae. Previous studies have indicated that oviposition preference and offspring performance insects are sensitive drought separately. However, integration their two properties not always seen. Here, we evaluated changes in selection fitness a insect under three...
Tephritidae pests are significant agricultural with a notable impact on the economy, wide range of species and most having broad host ranges strong reproductive abilities. However, wolfberry fruit fly, Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker), is fly which only harms wolfberry. Here, we assembled annotated N. genome at chromosome level compared it genomic transcriptomic information from other flies. The had size 563.8 Mb achieved completeness 99.1%, 18,387 genes were totally. All contigs into 7...
Among over 2,000 species of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), only 13 genomes have been published so far, seriously limiting the researches on phylogeny and adaptive evolution this group. The continuous publication mealybug will significantly facilitate our exploration biological characteristics, detrimental attributes, control strategies Pseudococcidae family. Jack Beardsley (Pseudococcus jackbeardsleyi) as one hazardous invasive pests, it could cause enormous losses to fruit vegetable...
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) is considered a quarantine pest in the A2 list because it causes serious infection and huge economic losses. Cold controlled atmosphere treatments have been used to control immature stage pests fresh fruits. Herein, basal tolerance response of D. egg, larva pupa cold hypoxia stress were studied, underlying transcriptome mechanisms pinpointed.The third instar was more tolerant than 12-h-old egg 8-day-old when treated at 3 °C + 1% O2 for 7 days, with 34.00% ±...
Abstract Moths of the family Tortricidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) usually distribute in temperate and tropical high upland regions. The oriental fruit moth (OFM) Grapholita molesta is a globally important pest stone pome from this family. In study, we assembled chromosome-level genome for OFM conducted comparative genomic analysis with other lepidopterans. This was to 28 chromosomes size 517.71 Mb, an N50 19.5 BUSCO completeness 97.1%. total, 19968 protein-coding genes were predicted, among...
