Novel mutations and mutation combinations of ryanodine receptor in a chlorantraniliprole resistant population of Plutella xylostella (L.).

ABSTRACT: A previous study documented a glycine to glutamic acid mutation (G4946E) in ryanodine receptor (RyR) was highly correlated to diamide insecticide resistance in field populations of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). In this study, a field population collected in Yunnan province, China, exhibited a 2128-fold resistance to chlorantraniliprole. Sequence comparison between resistant and susceptible P. xylostella revealed three novel mutations including a glutamic acid to valine substitution (E1338D), a glutamine to leucine substitution (Q4594L) and an isoleucine to methionine substitution (I4790M) in highly conserved regions of RyR. Frequency analysis of all four mutations in this field population showed that the three new mutations showed a high frequency of 100%, while the G4946E had a frequency of 20%. Furthermore, the florescent ligand binding assay revealed that the RyR containing multiple mutations displayed a significantly lower affinity to the chlorantraniliprole. The combined results suggested that the co-existence of different combinations of the four mutations was involved in the chlorantraniliprole resistance. An allele-specific PCR based method was developed for the diagnosis of the four mutations in the field populations of P. xylostella.

Project description:BackgroundThe diamondback moth Plutella xyllostella has developed a high level of resistance to the latest insecticide chlorantraniliprole. A better understanding of P. xylostella's resistance mechanism to chlorantraniliprole is needed to develop effective approaches for insecticide resistance management.Principal findingsTo provide a comprehensive insight into the resistance mechanisms of P. xylostella to chlorantraniliprole, transcriptome assembly and tag-based digital gene expression (DGE) system were performed using Illumina HiSeq™ 2000. The transcriptome analysis of the susceptible strain (SS) provided 45,231 unigenes (with the size ranging from 200 bp to 13,799 bp), which would be efficient for analyzing the differences in different chlorantraniliprole-resistant P. xylostella stains. DGE analysis indicated that a total of 1215 genes (189 up-regulated and 1026 down-regulated) were gradient differentially expressed among the susceptible strain (SS) and different chlorantraniliprole-resistant P. xylostella strains, including low-level resistance (GXA), moderate resistance (LZA) and high resistance strains (HZA). A detailed analysis of gradient differentially expressed genes elucidated the existence of a phase-dependent divergence of biological investment at the molecular level. The genes related to insecticide resistance, such as P450, GST, the ryanodine receptor, and connectin, had different expression profiles in the different chlorantraniliprole-resistant DGE libraries, suggesting that the genes related to insecticide resistance are involved in P. xylostella resistance development against chlorantraniliprole. To confirm the results from the DGE, the expressional profiles of 4 genes related to insecticide resistance were further validated by qRT-PCR analysis.ConclusionsThe obtained transcriptome information provides large gene resources available for further studying the resistance development of P. xylostella to pesticides. The DGE data provide comprehensive insights into the gene expression profiles of the different chlorantraniliprole-resistant stains. These genes are specifically related to insecticide resistance, with different expressional profiles facilitating the study of the role of each gene in chlorantraniliprole resistance development.

Project description:Pesticide resistance in insects is an example of adaptive evolution occurring in pest species and is driven by the artificial introduction of pesticides. The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), has evolved resistance to various insecticides. Understanding the genetic changes underpinning the resistance to pesticides is necessary for the implementation of pest control measures. We sequenced the genome of six resistant and six susceptible DBM individuals separately and inferred the genomic regions of greatest divergence between strains using FST and θπ. Among several genomic regions potentially related to insecticide resistance, CYP6B6-like was observed with significant divergence between the resistant and susceptible strains, with a missense mutation located near the substrate recognition site (SRS) and four SNPs in the promoter. To characterize the relative effects of directional selection via insecticide tolerance ('strain') as compared to acute exposure to insecticide ('treatment'), four pairwise comparisons were carried out between libraries to determine the differentially expressed genes. Most resistance-related differentially expressed genes were identified from the comparison of the strains and enriched in pathways for exogenous detoxification including cytochrome P450 and the ABC transporter. Further confirmation came from the weighted gene co-expression network analysis, which indicated that genes in the significant module associated with chlorantraniliprole resistance were enriched in pathways for exogenous detoxification, and that CYP6B6-like represented a hub gene in the "darkred" module. Furthermore, RNAi knock-down of CYP6B6-like increases P. xylostella sensitivity to chlorantraniliprole. Our study thus provides a genetic foundation underlying selection for pesticide resistance and plausible mechanisms to explain fast evolved adaptation through genomic divergence and altered gene expression in insects.
