Project description:Heortia vitessoides (Moore) is the most destructive defoliating pests in Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprenger forests in Southern China. The complete sequences of mitochondria is reported: a circular molecule of 15,516 bp in size included 40.13% for A, 40.79% for T, 11.23% for C and 7.86% for G. There are 60 genes including 3 species with 12 protein-coding genes, 2 different species ribosomal RNA genes (S and L rRNA species), 46 transfer RNA genes (20 RNA species). H. vitessoides (Moore) and other 19 species belonging to lepidopteran were phylogenetic and analyzed by MEGA 6.06 with neighbor-joining methods. The mtDNA of H. vitessoides (Moore) were clustered in lepidopteran superfamilies.

Project description:Juvenile hormone diol kinase (JHDK) is a critical enzyme involved in juvenile hormone degradation in insects. In this study, HvJHDK in the Heortia vitessoides Moore (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) transcriptional library was cloned. Stage-specific expression patterns of HvJHDK, HvJHEH, and HvJHE as well as juvenile hormone titers were determined. The three tested enzymes participated in juvenile hormone degradation. Moreover, juvenile hormone titers peaked after larval-larval molts, consistent with a role for juvenile hormone in inhibition of metamorphosis. HvJHDK was subsequently suppressed using RNA interference (RNAi) to reveal its functions. Different concentrations of dsJHDK elicited the optimal interference efficiency at different life stages of H. vitessoides. Suppression of HvJHDK decreased HvJHDK content and increased the juvenile hormone titer, thereby resulting in reduced triglyceride content, sharply declined survival rate, clearly lethal phenotypes, and extended larval growth. Moreover, suppression of HvJHDK upregulated HvJHEH and HvJHE expression levels, suggesting that there is feedback regulation in the juvenile hormone metabolic pathway. Taken together, our findings provide molecular references for the selection of novel insecticidal targets.

Project description:To elucidate the role of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) in Heortia vitessoides Moore (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), one of the most destructive defoliating pests in Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg (Thymelaeaceae) forests, 16 GST cDNAs were identified in the transcriptome of adult H. vitessoides. All cDNAs included a complete open reading frame and were designated HvGSTd1-HvGSTu2. A phylogenetic analysis showed that the 16 HvGSTs were classified into seven different cytosolic classes; three in delta, two in epsilon, three in omega, three in sigma, one in theta, two in zeta, and two in unclassified. The expression patterns of these HvGSTs in various larval and adult tissues, following exposure to half the lethal concentrations (LC50s) of chlorantraniliprole and beta-cypermethrin, were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The expression levels of the 16 HvGSTs were found to differ among various larval and adult tissues. Furthermore, the RT-qPCR confirmed that the transcription levels of nine (HvGSTd1, HvGSTd3, HvGSTe2, HvGSTe3, HvGSTo3, HvGSTs1, HvGSTs3, HvGSTu1, and HvGSTu2) and six (HvGSTd1, HvGSTd3, HvGSTe2, HvGSTo2, HvGSTs1, and HvGSTu1) HvGST genes were significantly higher in the fourth-instar larvae following exposure to the insecticides chlorantraniliprole and beta-cypermethrin, respectively. These genes are potential candidates involved in the detoxification of these two insecticides. Further studies utilizing the RNA interference approach are required to enhance our understanding of the functions of these genes in this forest pest.

Project description:Heortia vitessoides Moore, 1885 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an economically important lepidopteran pest that caused severe damage to the plantation area of Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg, 1825 (Thymelaeaceae), resulting in extensive defoliation of the trees during an epidemic. In this study, we used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze the external morphology and ultrastructure of sensilla on various body parts of H. vitessoides. Specifically, seven, four, four, and five types of sensilla were found, respectively, on the antennae, proboscis, labial palps, and legs. We described the types, distributions, and sexual dimorphism of these sensilla on antennae, and found that the number and size of sensilla differed significantly between males and females. This study provides crucial information for future investigations into the function of these sensilla in H. vitessoides.

Project description:IntroductionThe leaf-chewing pest Heortia vitessoides severely threatens the growth and development of Aquilaria sinensis. In our previous study, we found that mechanical damage (MD) to stem enhanced A. sinensis sapling resistance to H. vitessoides larvae.MethodsTo reveal the defense mechanisms underlying this observation, we analyzed the types and contents of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phytohormone contents, and expression of phytohormone-related genes in response to MD and herbivory wounding(HW).ResultsHere, we identified several VOCs, such as the pesticides fenobucarb and 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol, in mature leaf (ML) of MD-treated plants. Compared with salicylic acid (SA) or the ethylene (ET) pathway, jasmonic acid (JA) content and JA-related genes were more strongly upregulated. Interestingly, we found a dramatic difference between JA-related upstream and downstream genes expression in YL and ML, which confirmed that JA-Ile accumulation in MD-ML and HW-ML could be derived from local damaged site.DiscussionTaken together, we provide evidence that the JA pathway plays a dominant role in the A. sinensis response to MD and HW.
