European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) is the most important pest of maize around world, and an ideal model for sympatric host races, evolutionary speciation research. In this study, we assembled a chromosome-level genome Z strain O. by integrated Illumina short reads, PacBio Revio long Hi-C sequencing data. The was 480.04 Mb in total length with contig N50 16.51 Mb, which 98.59% anchored into 31 chromosomes. For annotation, 1,046,695 repeat sequences 212.07 1,550 non-coding RNAs...
Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Colorado potato beetle, CPB) is a notorious pest of potatoes. Its hardened forewings, known as elytra, protect the hindwings and abdomen against enemies chemical pesticides. Ubx plays crucial role in differentiating insect wings, but molecular mechanism remains unclear. Our research showed that highly expressed T3 thoracic segment (T3) appendages, while absent forewings. RNA interference for resulted dorsal plate being shifted toward T2, were sheathed from...
Maize stalk rot is a soil-borne disease that poses serious threat to maize production worldwide, with the most significant cause being fungal rot. The development of visual and rapid detection method for pathogen its prompt accurate identification, enhancing agricultural efficiency, implementing timely preventive measures. These measures will help safeguard yield quality, ultimately reducing losses. In this study, we aimed develop an efficient detect pathogens. We focused on three pathogenic...
Abstract The occurrence of Bemisia tabaci poses an increasingly serious threat to cotton and vegetable crops in Xinjiang, China. Currently, neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly used control the insect, which resistance is inevitable due intensive use. However, status mechanism B. Xinjiang poorly understood. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases represent a key detoxification . In this study, level imidacloprid thiamethoxam was investigated using leaf dipping method five field populations from...
This study aimed to isolate and identify entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) from fungus-infected Ostrinia furnacalis larvae, screen their bio-efficacy against O. furnacalis, select the most suitable virulent native EPF for biocontrol agent development.The occurrence of isolated various maize production regions in Xinjiang was investigated. Of 13,864 cadavers surveyed, 536 were selected, 136 fungal specimens collected, 14 species identified. Four isolates highly pathogenic furnacalis: Aspergillus...
The control of Ostrinia furnacalis, a major pest maize in Xinjiang, is challenging owing to the occurrence resistant individuals. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are natural insect regulators used as substitutes for synthetic chemical insecticides. fungus Aspergillus nomius highly pathogenic O. furnacalis; however, its virulence characteristics have not been identified. This study aimed analyse lethal efficacy, mode infection on cuticle, and extracellular enzyme activity A. against furnacalis....
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) cryptic complex has invaded Xinjiang, China, since 1998. The distribution of Mediterranean (MED) and Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) B. substrains been gradually identified due to the development molecular technology. In this study, MED MEAM1 in Xinjiang was determined by cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPs). Results showed that dominated northern (84%), whereas dominant southern (72%). Five pairs simple repeat (SSR) primers were used analyze genetic...
Invasive alien species are generally highly fertile and adaptable can pose a severe threat to the ecological security of invaded localities. Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is rapidly evolving cryptic complex. Among them, Mediterranean (MED) Middle East–Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) most invasive widely distributed. To clarify invasion source, population structure, genetic differentiation drivers whitefly populations in Xinjiang, China, we collected B. from 14 host crops China. A total 453 sequenced...
