Abstract The sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a highly destructive agricultural and ornamental crop pest. It damages host plants through both phloem feeding vectoring plant pathogens. Introductions of B. are difficult to quarantine eradicate because its high reproductive rates, broad range, insecticide resistance. A total 791 Gb raw DNA sequence from whole genome shotgun sequencing, 13 BAC pooling libraries were generated by Illumina sequencing using different combinations mate-pair...
Background Crofton weed (Ageratina adenophora) is one of the most hazardous invasive plant species, which causes serious economic losses and environmental damages worldwide. However, sequence resource genome information A. adenophora are rather limited, making phylogenetic identification evolutionary studies very difficult. Here, we report complete chloroplast (cp) based on Illumina sequencing. Methodology/Principal Findings The cp 150, 689 bp in length including a small single-copy (SSC)...
Abstract The codling moth Cydia pomonella , a major invasive pest of pome fruit, has spread around the globe in last half century. We generated chromosome-level scaffold assembly including Z chromosome and portion W chromosome. This reveals duplication an olfactory receptor gene ( OR3 ), which we demonstrate enhances ability C. to exploit kairomones pheromones locating both host plants mates. Genome-wide association studies contrasting insecticide-resistant susceptible strains identify...
Mikania micrantha is one of the top 100 worst invasive species that can cause serious damage to natural ecosystems and substantial economic losses. Here, we present its 1.79 Gb chromosome-scale reference genome. Half genome composed long terminal repeat retrotransposons, 80% which have been derived from a significant expansion in past million years. We identify whole duplication event recent segmental duplications, may be responsible for rapid environmental adaptation. Additionally, show M....
Summary Biological invasions constitute a major component of human‐induced environmental change and have become world‐wide problem threatening global biodiversity incurring massive economic costs. Consequently, research on biological proliferates, placing emphasis species traits habitat characteristics associated with successful invasion. Yet, the mechanisms underlying rapid spread resulting patterns remain largely unexplored. Using data collected since 1980 earlier at county level all over...
• With growing concerns over serious ecological problems, a particular challenge is to reveal the complex mechanisms underlying rapid expansion of invasive species. Ageratina adenophora interest in addressing this question. We used geographic information systems and logistic regression identify environmental factors contributing presence A. adenophora. Join-count spatial statistics with reproduction mode examination were employed elucidate spatiotemporal dispersal mechanisms. Multiple have...
A novel quinic acid derivative, 5-O-trans-o-coumaroylquinic methyl ester (1), together with three known ones, chlorogenic (2), macranthoin F (3) and G (4), were isolated from the aerial parts of invasive plant Ageratina adenophora (Spreng.). The structure new compound 1 was elucidated on basis extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D- 2D-NMR techniques. Compounds 2–4 A. for first time. All compounds showed in vitro antibacterial activity toward five assayed bacterial strains,...
Abstract Whole‐genome duplication (WGD), contributing to evolutionary diversity and environmental adaptability, has been observed across a wide variety of eukaryotic groups, but not in molluscs. Molluscs are the second largest animal phylum terms species numbers, among organisms that have successfully adapted nonmarine realm through aquatic–terrestrial (A‐T) transition. We assembled chromosome‐level reference genome for Achatina immaculata , globally invasive species, compared genomes two...
Abstract BACKGROUND In 2017 Tuta absoluta was identified as an invasive species in China. Due to its rapid geographic expansion and the severe crop damage it causes, T. poses a serious threat China's tomato production industry. To determine distribution host range, intensive surveys routine monitoring were conducted across Chinese mainland between 2018 2019. The population colonization coefficient (PCC; ratio of colonized sites prefectures) occurrence index (POI; infested PCCs) calculated....
Abstract Ageratina adenophora is one of the most hazardous invasive weeds in China. It can form a single species community quickly and cause extensive ecological harm. The belowground microbial participate nutrient transformation soil plays an important role invasiveness exotic plant species. We selected sampling sites with different invasion levels A. . property biogeochemical activity were measured both bulk rhizosphere under aggressive weed A adjacent native plants. composition bacterial...
, a well-documented and endemic pest throughout most of the Americas, affecting more than 100 species host plants. It is quarantine according to Asia Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) catalog pests for plants imported People's Republic China. Based on 1781 global distribution records
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly and species-specific method widely used to control agriculturally important fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritide). Previous studies have focused on the effects of releasing a higher proportion males relative fertile Bactrocera dorsalis populations. In this study, we impact small percentage B. results showed that when ratio wild was 1:3, number eggs produced within 12 days (5166 eggs) hatching rate (66%) were significantly lower...
Ambrosia trifida is an invasive weed that destroys the local ecological environment, and causes a reduction in population diversity grassland decline. The evolution of herbicide resistance has also increased difficulty managing A. trifida, so interspecific plant competition based on allelopathy been used as effective sustainable alternative. However, how to control through underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we found extracts from both roots leaves medicinal Sigesbeckia glabrescens...
Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding evolution and regulation sexual dimorphism insects, but also serves as a basis for developing control strategies pest species. In this study, we isolated gene transformer ( Dstra ) from global fruit pest, spotted‐wing suzukii ), characterized its organization. By comparing deduced protein sequence with orthologs 22...
With advancing global climate change, the analysis of thermal tolerance and evolutionary potential is important in explaining ecological adaptation changes distribution invasive species. To reveal variation heat resistance Mediterranean cryptic species Bemisia tabaci, we selected two Chinese populations—one from Harbin, N China, one Turpan, S China—that experience substantial cold stress conducted knockdown tests under static high- low-temperature conditions. ANOVAs indicated significant...
