Cross-resistance patterns and fitness in fufenozide-resistant diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

BACKGROUND: Fufenozide is a novel non‐steroidal ecdysone agonist with good efficacy against diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). At present, it is widely applied for the control of a range of lepidopterous pests in China. This study compared the activities of fufenozide and 12 other insecticides against unselected and fufenozide‐selected strains of DBM to examine potential patterns of cross‐resistance. The relative fitness of the fufenozide‐selected strain was assessed to provide information pertinent to insecticide resistance management. RESULTS: Compared with the susceptible strain (JSS), the fufenozide‐resistant strain (JSR) showed high cross‐resistance to dibenzoylhydrazines and benzoylphenylureas, low cross‐resistance to abamectin and no cross‐resistance to organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids. JSR had a lower reproductive ability and a relative fitness of 0.5 compared with JSS. CONCLUSION: P. xylostella has the potential to develop resistance to fufenozide, albeit at the expense of fitness. Cross‐resistance between the same and other classes of insecticides is of concern, and should be a key consideration when implementing fufenozide‐based control strategies for this species.

Influence of permethrin droplets on movement of larval Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

The behavioral response of larvae of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) to permethrin droplets was investigated through computer simulations and videotape analysis of larval movement on treated surfaces. Simulations of pre-contact avoidance responses and post-contact hypersensitivity responses indicated that the different response types would produce different effects on larval speeds and leaving times in the presence of insecticide. Analysis of actual larval movement in treated arenas demonstrated that responses to permethrin consistent with the predictions for pre-contact avoidance did occur. Larval speeds were higher in trials with insecticide droplets than in controls, and these differences arose prior to contact with droplets. When a higher insecticide concentration was used for droplets, the response observed was consistent with a relatively longer distance avoidance response than when droplets had lower permethrin concentrations. Such a response to permethrin should significantly decrease larval exposure to insecticides and increase survival in permethrintreated fields.     

Lack of cross-resistance to indoxacarb in insecticide-resistant Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae)

Two field strains of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith), collected from corn in north Florida showed high resistance to carbaryl (626- and 1159-fold) and moderate resistance to parathion-methyl (30- and 39-fold) as compared with a laboratory susceptible strain. A field strain of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) collected from cabbage in north Florida and selected for 20 generations with permethrin showed high resistance to permethrin (987-fold) as compared with a susceptible strain. However, in all instances, no cross-resistance to indoxacarb, a novel oxidiazine insecticide, was observed in these two species. Biochemical studies revealed that, in S. frugiperda, activities of detoxification enzymes (microsomal oxidase, glutathione S-transferase and general esterase) were significantly higher in the field strains than in the susceptible strain, indicating that these detoxification enzymes were not actively involved in the resistance to indoxacarb. The lack of cross-resistance between indoxacarb and permethrin in P. xylostella further supports the notion that the mode of action of these insecticides on the insect sodium channel is different.     

Inheritance of resistance and cross-resistance to deltamethrin in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) from Pakistan

A field population of Plutella xylostella (L) from Pakistan was found to be highly resistant to deltamethrin (>500-fold) but had little or no resistance to spinosad, fipronil, indoxacarb, abamectin, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) var kurstaki, Bt var aizawai or Cry1Ac when compared with a susceptible laboratory population, Lab-UK. A sub-population was selected for six generations (laboratory G3-G8) with deltamethrin (delta-SEL), while a second sub-population was left unselected (UNSEL). Bioassays at G9 found that selection with deltamethrin gave resistance ratios of >230 compared with UNSEL (>6730 compared with Lab-UK). The delta-selected population showed no apparent cross-resistance to spinosad, fipronil or indoxacarb. Logit regression analysis of F1 reciprocal crosses between delta-SEL and Lab-UK indicated that resistance to deltamethrin in the delta-SEL population was inherited as an autosomal, incompletely dominant (D(LC) = 0.67) trait. A direct test of monogenic inheritance based on a back-cross of F1 progeny with delta-SEL suggested that resistance to deltamethrin was controlled by more than one factor.     

Sublethal effects of larval exposure to indoxacarb on reproductive activities of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Sublethal effects of larval exposure to indoxacarb on reproductive activities of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) were studied. The third instar male and female larvae of the diamondback moth were fed with collard leaves dipped with a lethal dose of 20% mortality of indoxacarb in order to determine its impact on reproductive activities of adult survivors. Females from indoxacarb treatment had similar peak calling percentage (100%) and mean calling hours (5.83 ± 0.47 h) compared to control females (92% of peak calling, 5.05 ± 0.55 h of mean calling hours) at the first scotophase, but had slightly lower peak calling percentages and shorter calling hours at the subsequent scotophases. The sex pheromone blend or single component from the blend for P. xylostella elicited similar electroantennography responses compared with those from control males and indoxacarb-treated male survivors. Indoxacarb did not alter the number of eggs produced per female and female longevity. However, larval treatment of males with indoxacarb showed a decreased copulation success rate, and this effect was not observed in identically treated female survivors.

Toxicity of biorational insecticides to Helicoverpa spp. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and predators in cotton field

Field trials on upland cotton (Gossypium hirstum L.) during its reproductive phase were used to assess the toxicity of several biorational pesticides and chemicals to Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) and H. puntigera Wallengren, as well as major predators at Dalby, Queensland, Australia. Moderate rate-dependent control was obtained in plots treated with neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) seed extract-azadirachtin (Aza) at rates of 30, 60 and 90 g/ha. Plots treated with Talstar EC (bifenthrin) applications achieved the best results, followed by treatment with alternation of chemicals (methomyl, bifenthrin, thiodicarb and endosulfan) and biorational insecticides (neem oil, azadirachtin and Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki var. Berliner). Predators, including lady beetles, lacewings, spiders and predatory bugs, were insensitive to Aza, tooseendanin (Tsdn) andBT applications. In contrast, chemicals were very destructive of predators. All treatments provided some protection from infestation of H. armigera and H. puntigera. The effect of Aza on Helicoverpa spp. was reflected in a relatively higher yield of seed cotton harvested from Aza-treated plots compared with the control, but chemical control achieved significantly higher yields than any other treatment.     

Genetic basis of resistance and studies on cross-resistance in a population of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

The genetic basis of abamectin resistance was studied in a strain of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L), following laboratory selection of a field population collected at Xuanhua, Hebei Province, China. Data from the testing of F1 progeny from reciprocal crosses between abamectin-resistant and abamectin-susceptible strains indicated that resistance might be autosomal and incompletely recessive with a degree of dominance of -0.13. Chi-squared analyses from the response of a backcross of crossed F1 progeny and the resistant strain and F2 progeny were highly significant, suggesting that the resistance was probably controlled by more than one gene. The results of cross-resistance studies showed that there was little cross-resistance between abamectin and four pyrethroid insecticides (deltamethrin, beta-cypermethrin, fenvalerate and bifenthrin) and no cross-resistance between abamectin and the acylureas chlorfluazuron or flufenoxuron.     

Cloning,characterisation and expression profiling of the cDNA encoding the ryanodine receptor in diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

BACKGROUND: The rynodine receptors (RyRs) are the main targets of diamide insecticides such as chlorantraniliprole. To provide the basis for a good understanding of the molecular mechanisms of diamide insecticide resistance, an RyR gene from Plutella xylostella was cloned and characterised in the present paper. RESULTS: A full‐length cDNA sequence of RyR was cloned from P. xylostella through RT‐PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The gene (named PxRyR1) is 15 753 bp long, with an open reading frame of 15 354 bp, encoding a predicted RyR of 5117 amino acids. An alternative splicing of the PxRyR1 was also cloned and named PxRyR2. The PxRyR1 shares 77–93% identity with other insect RyRs. Quantitative real‐time PCR analysis showed that the PxRyR was expressed at a high level in second‐instar larvae and adults, at a low level in prepupae and pupae and abundantly in the body wall muscle and head (respectively 6.00 and 3.12 times the expression in the gut). Western blot analysis with anti‐RyR antibodies showed that the RyR was mainly present in the body wall muscle and head, but barely present in the haemocyte and gut. CONCLUSIONS: There are at least two alternative splices of PxRyR expressed in all developmental stages and tissues in P. xylostella at various levels. The results provided the basis for further understanding of the mechanisms of resistance to diamide insecticides in P. xylostella. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Inheritance of resistance to a new non‐steroidal ecdysone agonist,fufenozide, in the diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

BACKGROUND: The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.), is a cosmopolitan pest of cruciferous crops. Fufenozide, a novel non‐steroidal ecdysone agonist, exhibits good efficacy and plays an increasingly important role in the control of Lepidopterous pests in China. A laboratory strain of DBM was selected for resistance to fufenozide, and the genetic basis of resistance was studied. RESULTS: The resistant strain, selected under laboratory conditions, exhibited a higher level of resistance to fufenozide (302.8‐fold based on LC₅₀s) than the laboratory susceptible strain. Mortality data from the testing of F₁ progeny of reciprocal crosses of resistant and susceptible DBM indicated that resistance was autosomal and incompletely recessive with a degree of dominance of ?0.664. Chi‐square analysis from responses of a backcross of crossed F₁ progeny and the resistant strain and F₂ progeny were highly significant, suggesting that the resistance was probably controlled by more than one gene. The estimated realised heritability (h²) of fufenozide resistance was 0.08, indicating that diamondback moth may have a lower chance of developing resistance to fufenozide than other kinds of insecticide. CONCLUSION: The resistance of DBM to fufenozide might be autosomal and incompletely recessive, and the resistance is probably controlled by more than one gene. These results provide the basic information for pest management programmes. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effects of interactions between host plants and selective insecticides on larvae of Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) in the laboratory

The residual toxicity of two selective insecticides, teflubenzuron (acylurea) and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner ssp. aizawai (microbial), to laboratory and field strains of Plutella xylostella L. was shown in the laboratory to be significantly affected by leaf nutritional status, other host-plant resistance factors, cultivation method and plant age. With plants offering some degree of host-plant resistance, the toxicity of the insecticides was either increased or decreased compared with highly susceptible plants, depending on the specific nature of the plant-herbivore interaction. Differences in residual toxicity of the insecticides varied up to nine-fold on different host plants (=host-plant- + insecticide-induced mortality) despite less than four-fold differences in P. xylostella mortality in controls (=host-plant-induced mortality alone). Host-plant nutritional status also had a substantial effect on the damage potential of larvae. Different response times by P. xylostella to the two insecticides tested on host plants of varying nutritional status were related to the contrasting modes of action of the respective active ingredients. The present studies suggest that insecticides applied to Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata with partial plant resistance may contribute to improved control of P. xylostella. A conceptual model is used to describe likely mortality responses by macrophagous larvae to insecticides applied to plants of varying resistance status. The implications of the findings in relation to the integrated management of P. xylostella are considered.     

Bioactivity of formulas containing essential oils from the family Myrtaceae for the management of deltamethrin-resistant Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Plutella xylostella is the major pest of Brassica and is resistant to more than 95 synthetic insecticides, including deltamethrin, which is frequently used in family farming activities in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. A possible strategy for overcoming such resistance is the use of botanical insecticides containing essential oils. The aim of the present study was to determine the chemical composition of essential oils from Syzygium aromaticum, Melaleuca alternifolia, Melaleuca leucadendra, Eucalyptus citriodora and Eucalyptus globulus and evaluate the effects of these oils as well as selected constituents (β-pinene, α-terpinene, ρ-cymene, limonene, 1,8-cineole, γ-terpinolene, citronellal, terpinen-4-ol, eugenol, β-caryophyllene and E-nerolidol) on different stages of development of two populations of P. xylostella – one susceptible and one resistant to deltamethrin. Chemical analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed eugenol (S. aromaticum), 1,8-cineole (E. globulus), citronellal (E. citriodora), terpinen-4-ol (M. alternifolia) and E-nerolidol (M. leucadendra) to be the major constituents. Among the oils tested, S. aromaticum was the most promising in the different modes of action and had the same level of toxicity to the two populations of P. xylostella analyzed. Among the constituents, E-nerolidol and terpinen-4-ol exhibited promising larvicidal action, whereas limonene exhibited promising ovicidal and antifeedant action. None of the oils presented severe phytotoxicity to the host plant. All results were compared to those achieved with deltamethrin and azadirachtin, which were used as positive controls. The deltamethrin-resistant population of P. xylostella did not exhibit pre-adaptive resistance to the oil from S. aromaticum or E-nerolidol, terpinen-4-ol and limonene.
