Pest management is mostly accomplished by the use of insecticides. However, the overuse of insecticides has led to the development of resistance. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are vital detoxification enzymes involved in insecticide resistance in insects. In this study, we report the involvement of GSTs in insecticide resistance to lambda-cyhalothrin in Cydia pomonella, a globally quarantined fruit pest. A total of 25 GST, including 22 cytosolic genes and 3 microsomal genes, are identified from the genome database of C. pomonella. These cytosolic genes are further classified into six classes, including four in delta, eight in epsilon, three in omega, three in sigma, one in theta, and one in zeta class, as well as two unclassified genes. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) shows that the majority of these genes are mainly expressed throughout the larval stage and in the midgut of the fourth-instar larvae. Exposure to an LD10 dose of lambda-cyhalothrin resulted in the upregulation of 17 GST genes. Moreover, mRNA levels of most GST genes, with the exception of CpGSTe6, CpGSTd2, CpGSTd4, and CpGSTz1, are considerably higher in a lambda-cyhalothrin-resistant population (ZW_R) than those of susceptible strains. Recombinant CpGSTd1, CpGSTd3, CpGSTe3, and CpGSTs2 can bind and metabolize lambda-cyhalothrin, with the highest metabolic rate observed for CpGSTd3 but no metabolite(s) was detected, supporting the role of GSTs in sequestration of lambda-cyhalothrin. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis indicates that key residues of hydrophobic pocket-derived lipophilic energy S(lipo) interactions with a hydrophobic pharmacophore of lambda-cyhalothrin are crucial for metabolism by CpGSTd3 and further lead to resistance. Our study is the first to experimentally confirm the involvement of GSTs in lambda-cyhalothrin resistance via sequestration and provides new insights into resistance management in C. pomonella.

BACKGROUND As sex pheromones are environmentally friendly and specific, they are often used to monitor and control oriental fruit moths (OFMs). Currently, non-biodegradable polymers are commonly employed as carriers to prepare controlled sex pheromone release systems for plant protection. Electrospinning is a relatively simple technique for preparing biodegradable nanofibers that allows for the controlled release of sex pheromones. This study aimed to develop a biodegradable controlled release system for the combination of OFM pheromone and codlemone via electrospinning, in which codlemone was used as a synergist for OFM pheromone. RESULTS New systems for the controlled release of combined pheromones from OFM and colding moths were developed using electrospun nanofibers from polycaprolactone (PCL), cellulose acetate (CA), and polylactic acid (PLA). In the indoor experiments, the load ratio and release stability of CA nanofibers loaded with combined pheromones (CA-SP) were superior to those of the other two nanofiber types. In the field experiments, among all the treatments, 10 mg of CA-SP was the most attractive to OFMs, and its effective duration was approximately 6 weeks. The optimum storage temperature for all nanofibers was −20 °C. CONCLUSION Electrospun CA-SP nanofibers were biodegradable and environmentally friendly, with stable release. This study presents a new technique that could be beneficial for the monitoring and control of OFMs. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Glutathione S -transferases (GSTs) play a key role in detoxification of xenobiotics in organisms. However, their other functions, especially response to the natural toxin cantharidin produced by beetles in the Meloidae and Oedemeridae families, are less known. We obtained GST cDNAs from three sources: Cydia pomonella ( CpGSTd1 ), Sus scrofa ( SsGSTα1 ), and Triticum aestivum ( TaGSTf3 ). The predicted molecular mass is 24.19, 25.28 and 24.49 kDa, respectively. These proteins contain typical N-terminal and C-terminal domains. Recombinant GSTs were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli as soluble fusion proteins. Their optimal activities are exhibited at pH 7.0–7.5 at 30 °C. Activity of CpGSTd1 is strongly inhibited by cantharidin and cantharidic acid, but is only slightly suppressed by the demethylated analog of cantharidin and cantharidic acid. Enzymatic assays revealed that cantharidin has no effect on SsGSTα1 activity, while it significantly stimulates TaGSTf3 activity, with an EC 50 value of 0.3852 mM. Activities of these proteins are potently inhibited by the known GST competitive inhibitor: S -hexylglutathione (GTX). Our results suggest that these GSTs from different sources share similar structural and biochemical characteristics. Our results also suggest that CpGSTd1 might act as a binding protein with cantharidin and its analogs.

The codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) is an economically important fruit pest that has spread rapidly from its original site in Xinjiang to other northwestern regions of China. Insecticides are widely used to control this pest but its invasion has never been completely stopped. The aim of this study was to establish a laboratory population of the codling moth occurring in China, to investigate the effectiveness of 12 conventional insecticides to this laboratory population, and to recommend the discriminating doses for use in resistance monitoring. The laboratory population was generally similar to other laboratory strains although parameters such as survival rate and larval duration were low when compared with field populations. Toxicity varied among the insecticides tested with LC 50 values ranging from 0.016 mg/l for emamectin benzoate to 55.77 mg/l for chlorbenzuron. Discriminating dose levels were determined from dose-mortality reference curves for the detection of resistance in field populations. Effectiveness of 12 insecticides to a laboratory population of codling moth in China was evaluated for the first time. This can be integrated into resistance management strategies, especially in orchards with a history of frequent insecticides applications, in order to monitor or decrease insecticide resistance in the future.

BACKGROUND The evolution of insect resistance to pesticides poses a continuing threat to sustainable pest management. While much is known about the molecular mechanisms that confer resistance in model insects and few agricultural pests, far less is known about fruit pests. Field-evolved resistance to synthetic insecticides such as lambda -cyhalothrin has been widely documented in Cydia pomonella , a major invasive pest of pome fruit worldwide, and the increased production of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) has been linked to resistance in field-evolved resistant populations. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of P450-mediated insecticide resistance remain largely unknown . RESULTS Here we found that functional redundancy and preference of metabolism by P450s genes in the CYP9A subfamily confer resistance to lambda -cyhalothrin in Cydia pomonella . A total of four CYP9A genes, including CYP9A61 , CYP9A120 , CYP9A121 , and CYP9A122 , were identified from Cydia pomonella . Among these, CYP9A120 , CYP9A121 , and CYP9A122 were predominantly expressed in the midgut of larvae. The expression levels of these P450 genes were significantly induced by a lethal dose that would kill 10% (LD 10 ) of lambda -cyhalothrin and were overexpressed in a field-evolved lambda -cyhalothrin resistant population. Knockdown of CYP9A120 and CYP9A121 by RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) increased the susceptibility of larvae to lambda -cyhalothrin. In vitro assays demonstrated that recombinant P450s expressed in Sf9 cells can metabolize lambda -cyhalothrin, but with functional redundancy and divergence through regioselectivity of metabolism. CYP9A121 preferred to convert lambda -cyhalothrin to 2′-hydroxy- lambda -cyhalothrin, whereas CYP9A122 only generated 4′-hydroxy metabolite of lambda -cyhalothrin. Although possesses a relatively low metabolic capability, CYP9A120 balanced catalytic competence to generate both 2′- and 4′-metabolites. CONCLUSION Collectively, these results reveal that metabolic functional redundancy of three members of the CYP9A subfamily leads to P450-mediated lambda -cyhalothrin resistance in Cydia pomonella , thus representing a potential adaptive evolutionary strategy during its worldwide expansion. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

BACKGROUND Recent work has shown that two codling moth ( Cydia pomonella ) glutathione S -transferase genes (GSTs), CpGSTd1 and CpGSTd3 , can metabolize λ-cyhalothrin, one of the recommended insecticides for C. pomonella control worldwide. However, systematical characterization of delta and epsilon GSTs, especially their potential contributions in the metabolism of λ-cyhalothrin, is currently still lacking in C. pomonella . RESULTS In this study, a total of nine cDNA sequences were identified in C. pomonella , including four in the delta and five in the epsilon subclasses. RT-qPCR showed that seven GSTs were ubiquitously expressed at all developmental stages, and CpGSTe2 , CpGSTe3 , and CpGSTe4 were mainly expressed in larvae. The mRNA levels of CpGSTd2 , CpGSTd4 , and CpGSTe5 were significantly higher in male than in female adults. Tissue-specific expression analysis revealed that the CpGSTe2 , CpGSTe3 , and CpGSTe4 were highly expressed in the midgut while CpGSTd2 and CpGSTd4 were predominantly expressed in the Malpighian tubules. The transcripts of these GSTs (except CpGSTe1 ) were co-expressed following exposure to LD 10 of λ-cyhalothrin for 3 h. Recombinant CpGSTd4, CpGSTe2, and CpGSTe3 proteins expressed in Escherichia coli displayed glutathione-conjugating activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. In addition, λ-cyhalothrin could inhibit the activity of recombinant CpGSTd4, CpGSTe2, and CpGSTe3 enzymes, but only recombinant CpGSTe3 showed λ-cyhalothrin metabolic capacity, with 21.88 ± 1.09% of parental compound being depleted within 1 h. CONCLUSION These data show that CpGSTe3 is a third GST gene, encoding an enzyme that metabolizes λ-cyhalothrin in C. pomonella . © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

The economically important fruit pest Cydia pomonella (L.) exhibits a strong adaptability and stress tolerance to environmental stresses. Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) play key roles in insects in coping with environmental stresses. However, little is known about the spatiotemporal expression patterns of HSPs and their response to stresses in C. pomonella. In this study, a thermal treatment–recovery test was performed, and the expression profiles of a novel isolated HSP, named CpHSP40, and six CpHSPs were determined. Third-instar larvae were able to recover from cold shock (0 °C) and heat shock (40 °C). Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells harboring recombinant pET-28a (+)-CpHSP40 plasmid showed significant temperature tolerance. CpHSPs were developmentally and tissue-specifically expressed. The responses of CpHSPs to 0 and 40 °C (with or without recovery) and insecticide exposure were varied. All of these indicated that the expression of HSPs plays a role in the development and in environmental adaptation in C. pomonella.

For successful pest management, codlemone (E, E-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol) is widely used to monitor codling moth. The pheromone release rate is essential for the lure’s attractiveness. The optimal sex pheromone release rate (V 0 ) for trapping codling moth was evaluated during 2013–2014. The overwinter generation V 0 was 6.7–33.4 μg wk −1 , and moth catches (MCs) were 0.82 ± 0.11 adults/trap/week; MCs for lower (V 1 ) and higher (V 2 ) release rates were 52.4% and 46.3%, respectively, of that for V 0 . The first generation V 0 was 18.4–29.6 μg wk −1 , with MCs of 1.45 ± 0.29 adults/week/trap. V 1 and V 2 MCs were 34.5% and 31.7%, respectively, of those for V 0 . Combining across generations, the final V 0 was 18.4–29.6 μg wk −1 , with MCs of 1.07 ± 0.06 adults/week/trap. V 1 and V 2 MCs were 51.4% and 41.1%, respectively, of that for V 0 . Overwinter generation emergence was relatively concentrated, requiring a wider V 0 . Maintaining the release rate at 18.4–29.6 μg wk −1 could optimize the lure’s efficacy; this resulted in the capture of nearly 1.9 and 2.4 times more moths than V 1 and V 2 , respectively. The results also indicate that a dispenser pheromone release rate of 200–300 times that of the female moth can perfectly outcompetes females in the field.

The codling moth Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a major invasive pest of pome fruits and walnuts worldwide. Lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) and abamectin (AM) have been frequently used in C. pomonella control, but control of this pest is very difficult because shortly after hatching, larvae of this insect bore tunnels and hide inside host plant fruit. In this study, a simulated field spray bioassay method was developed against neonate larvae of C. pomonella and concentration-response bioassays were conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of the neonate larvae to LCT and AM. Exposure of neonate larvae to sublethal concentration (LC 30 ) of LCT or AM significantly reduced the survival rate of larvae (4th and 5th instars), lowered the mean weight of larvae and pupae, and decreased the daily maximal number of eggs laid and the total number of eggs laid (fecundity) per female. The sublethal effects, including reduced body mass, mean fecundity and net reproductive rate, extended mean generation time, and shortened oviposition period, were also found in transgenerational offspring. Furthermore, the transgenerational maternal effects were more obvious for AM than LCT, in comparison to the control. Additionally, the estimated population size was decreased by exposure to LC 30 of LCT and AM, and the observed reduction of fecundity and population size within and across generations was likely the result of the downregulation of the reproduction-related vitellogenin gene ( CpVg ) after exposure to LC 30 of LCT and AM. These results provide a better understanding of the overall effects of LCT and AM on C. pomonella and the transgenerational effects which should be taken into consideration when using insecticides in order to control C. pomonella .

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs or P450s) play paramount roles in detoxification of insecticides in a number of insect pests. However, little is known about the roles of P450s and their responses to insecticide exposure in the codling mothCydia pomonella(L.), an economically important fruit pest. Here we report the characterization and expression analysis of the first P450 gene, designated asCYP9A61, from this pest. The full-length cDNA sequence ofCYP9A61is 2071 bp long and its open reading frame (ORF) encodes 538 amino acids. Sequence analysis shows that CYP9A61 shares 51%–60% identity with other known CYP9s and contains the highly conserved substrate recognition site SRS1, SRS4 and SRS5. Quantitative real-time PCR showed thatCYP9A61were 67-fold higher in the fifth instar larvae than in the first instar, and more abundant in the silk gland and fat body than other tissues. Exposure of the 3rd instar larvae to 12.5 mg L−1of chlorpyrifos-ethyl for 60 h and 0.19 mg L−1of lambda-cyhalothrin for 36 h resulted in 2.20-and 3.47-fold induction ofCYP9A61, respectively. Exposure of the 3rd instar larvae to these two insecticides also significantly enhanced the total P450 activity. The results suggested thatCYP9A61is an insecticide-detoxifying P450.Keywords:Cydia pomonella;cytochrome P450;induction;response;insecticides

Carboxylesterases (CEs) are enzymes responsible for the detoxification of insecticides in insects. In the Cydia pomonella , CEs are involved in synthetic pyrethroid, neonicotinoid, carbamate, and organophosphate detoxification. However, functional overexpression of CEs proteins in Escherichia coli systems often results in insoluble proteins. In this study, we expressed the fusion protein CpCE-1 in E . coli BL21 (DE3). This recombinant protein was overexpressed as inclusion bodies at 37 °C whereas it produced a higher percentage of soluble protein at lower growth temperatures. Production of soluble proteins and enzyme activity increased in the presence of sorbitol in the growth medium. The fusion protein was purified from the lysate supernatant using a Ni 2+ -NTA agarose gel column. The enzyme exhibited a higher affinity and substrate specificity for α-naphthyl acetate (α-NA), with k
cat / K
m of 100 s −1 μM −1 for α-NA, and the value is 29.78 s −1 μM −1 for β-naphthyl acetate. The V
max and K
m were also determined to be 12.9 μmol/min/mg protein and 13.4 μM using substrate α-NA. The optimum pH was 7.0 and temperature was 25 °C. An enzyme inhibition assay shows that PMSF and DEPC strongly inhibit the enzyme activity, while the metal ions Cu 2+ and Mg 2+ significantly activated the activity. More importantly, cypermethrin, methomyl, and acephate were found to suppress enzyme activity. The data demonstrated here provide information for heterologous expression of soluble protein and further study on insecticide metabolism in C . pomonella in vitro. This is the first report of the characterization of CEs protein from C . pomonella .

Analysis of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene expression in an insecticide-resistant strain of Cydia pomonella using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction is a key step toward more mechanism studies that require suitable reference genes with stable expression. Here, nine commonly used reference genes were selected, and their expression stabilities were analyzed. Results showed that EF-1α was the most stable reference gene in all of the experimental sets. The combinations of EF-1α and 18S, EF-1α and RPL12, and EF-1α and GAPDH were sufficient for normalization of gene expression analysis accurately in developmental stages, tissues, and larvae exposed to sublethal dose of λ-cyhalothrin, respectively. Additionally, the suitability of particular reference genes was verified by analyzing the spatiotemporal and insecticide-induced expression profiles of CpGSTe3, CpGSTd3, and CpGSTd4, which were overexpressed in a λ-cyhalothrin-resistant population from northeast China. These genes were used to confer the practicability of reference genes chosen in this study.
