Binding Properties of Odorant-Binding Protein 4 of Tirathaba rufivena to Areca catechu Volatiles.

ABSTRACT: Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) play a key role in the olfactory system and are essential for mating and oviposition host selection. Tirathaba rufivena, a serious lepidopterous insect pest of the palm area in recent years, has threatened cultivations of Areca catechu in Hainan. Female-biased odorant-binding protein 4 of T. rufivena (TrufOBP4) expression was hypothesized to participate in the process of oviposition host recognition and localization. In this study, we cloned and analyzed the cDNA sequence of TrufOBP4. The predicted mature protein TrufOBP4 is a small, soluble, secretory protein and belongs to a classic OBP subfamily. Fluorescence binding assay results showed that TrufOBP4 had high binding abilities with the host plant volatiles, octyl methoxycinnamate, dibutyl phthalate, myristic acid and palmitic acid. These four components tend to dock in the same binding pocket based on the molecular docking result. The interactions and contributions of key amino acid residues were also characterized. This research provides evidence that TrufOBP4 might participate in the chemoreception of volatile compounds from inflorescences of A. catechu and can contribute to the integrated management of T. rufivena.

Arborinol methyl ether from Areca catechu L.

Project description:The title compound isolated from Areca catechu L. (common name: arborinol methyl ether; a member of the arborane family) was established as 3α-methoxyarbor-9(11)-ene, C(31)H(52)O. Rings A/B/C/D assume a chair conformation, while ring E has an envelope conformation. The absolute configuration was determined to be (3R,5R,8S,10S,13R,14S,17S,18S, 21S) by analysis of Bijvoet pairs based on resonant scattering of light atoms, yielding a Hooft parameter y of -0.03 (3).

Genomic diversity of Areca Palm Velarivirus 1 (APV1) in Areca palm (Areca catechu) plantations in Hainan, China.

Project description:BackgroundAreca palm (Areca catechu L.) is an important commercial crop in southeast Asia, but its cultivation is threatened by yellowing leaf disease (YLD). Areca palm velarivirus 1 (APV1) was recently associated with YLD, but little is known regarding its population and genetic diversity. To assess the diversity of YLD, the APV1 genome was sequenced in YLD samples collected from different sites in Hainan.ResultsTwenty new and complete APV1 genomes were identified. The APV1 isolates had highly conserved sequences in seven open reading frames (ORFs; > 95% nucleotide [nt] identity) at the 3' terminal, but there was diversity (81-87% nt identity) in three ORFs at the 5' terminal. Phylogenetic analysis divided the APV1 isolates into three phylogroups, with 16 isolates (> 70%) in phylogroup A. Mixed infections with different genotypes in the same tree were identified; this was closely correlated with higher levels of genetic recombination.ConclusionsPhylogroup A is the most prevalent APV1 genotype in areca palm plantations in Hainan, China. Mixed infection with different genotypes can lead to genomic recombination of APV1. Our data provide a foundation for accurate diagnostics, characterization of etiology, and elucidation of the evolutionary relationships of APV1 populations.

Two New Flavonoids from the Nuts of <i>Areca catechu</i>.

Project description:Two new flavonoids, calquiquelignan M (1), calquiquelignan N (2), along with nine known compounds (3-11), were isolated from the nuts of Areca catechu (Palmae). The new structures, including absolute configurations, were established by a combination of spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. The known compounds were identified by comparing their spectroscopic data with reported in the literature. The flavonoids compounds (1-8) were evaluated for their cytotoxicity activities against three human cancer cell lines. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited a moderate cytotoxic activity against HepG2 cell lines with IC50 values of 49.8 and 53.6 ?M, respectively.

The complete chloroplast genome data of <i>Areca catechu</i> (Arecaceae).

Project description:Areca is a genus comprising about 50 species endemic to the humid tropics. Arecanut (Areca catechu L.) is a commercially and economically important crop in South and Southeast Asia. In addition to its contribution to the agricultural economies of countries where the crop is grown, arecanut holds an important place in the religious, cultural, and social milieu of the rural folks. The nuts have been used since time immemorial in traditional Indian (Unani and Ayurveda) and Chinese herbal systems of medicine for the treatment of various disorders like rheumatism, parasitic infection, diseases of gastrointestinal tracts, and depression. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of arecanut. The cp genome of A. catechu was a typical circular DNA molecule with a size of 158,689 bp in length. The genome possessed a typical quadripartite structure composed of a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 27,137 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,814 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,601 bp and a GC content of 37.3%. The cp genome of arecanut encodes a set of 133 genes, comprising 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes; among these, 21 contained introns. A total of 70 SSR loci were detected, the majority being in inter-genic regions. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. catechu was closely related to A. vestiaria.

Behavioral Effect of Plant Volatiles Binding to Spodoptera littoralis Larval Odorant Receptors.

Project description:Phytophagous insects use volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted by plants to orient towards their hosts. In lepidopteran pests, crop damages are caused by larval stages-the caterpillars-that feed extensively on leaves or other plant tissues. However, larval host plant choice has been poorly studied, and it is generally admitted that caterpillars feed on the plant where the female laid the eggs. The mobility of caterpillars has been generally overlooked even though several studies showed that they can orient towards odors and change host plant. Recently, a large number of odorant receptors (ORs) tuned to plant volatiles have been characterized in the model pest moth Spodoptera littoralis (Noctuidae). In the present work, we identified nine of these deorphanized ORs as expressed in S. littoralis caterpillars. In order to understand whether these ORs are involved in host searching, we tested the behavioral significance of their ligands using a larval two-choice assay. This OR-guided approach led to the identification of nine plant volatiles, namely 1-hexanol, benzyl alcohol, acetophenone, benzaldehyde, (Z)3-hexenol, (E)2-hexenol, indole, DMNT and (Z)3-hexenyl acetate, which are active on S. littoralis caterpillar behavior, increasing our knowledge on larval olfactory abilities. To further explore the link between OR activation and behavioral output induced by plant volatiles we used a modeling approach, thereby allowing identification of some ORs whose activation is related to caterpillar attraction. These ORs may be promising targets for future plant protection strategies.

The Odorant Binding Protein 6 Expressed in Sensilla Chaetica Displays Preferential Binding Affinity to Host Plants Volatiles in Ectropis obliqua.

Project description:The monophagous tea geometrid Ectropis obliqua selectively feed on tea plants, requiring the specialized chemosensory system to forage for certain host. A deep insight into the molecular basis would accelerate the design of insect-behavior-modifying stimuli. In the present study, we focused on the odorant-binding protein 6 (EoblOBP6) with the high abundance in legs transcriptome of E. obliqua moths. qRT-PCR coupled with western blot analyses revealed the dual expression pattern of EoblOBP6 in antennae and legs. Cellular immunolocalization indicated that EoblOBP6 was predominantly labeled in the outer sensillum lymph of uniporous sensilla chaetica, which is not innervated by sensory neurons. No specific staining was observed in other sensillum types. The fluorescence competition assay showed a relatively narrow binding spectrum of recombinant EoblOBP6. EoblOBP6 could not only bind with intact tea plant volatiles benzaldehyde but also display high binding ability to nerolidol and ?-farnesene which are tea plant volatiles dramatically induced by herbivore infestation. Besides, EoblOBP6 tightly bound to the aversive bitter alkaloid berberine. Taken together, EoblOBP6 displayed an unusual expression in sensilla chaetica, exhibited the potential involvement in olfaction and gustation, and may play a functional role in host location of female E. obliqua moths.
