Abstract
Abstract
The melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover, is an important pest on various vegetables around the world and has developed resistance to neonicotinoids in fields. Cycloxaprid is a novel cis-nitromethylene configuration neonicotinoid insecticide that is different from trans-configuration neonicotinoids like imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. Herein, the cross-resistance to the other seven insecticides and fitness costs were investigated in the cycloxaprid-resistant A. gossypii strain (Cpd-R), which has developed 69.5-fold resistance to cycloxaprid. The results showed that the Cpd-R strain had very low levels of cross-resistance to imidacloprid (4.3-fold), acetamiprid (2.9-fold), thiamethoxam (3.7-fold), nitenpyram (6.1-fold), flupyradifurone (2.2-fold), and sulfoxaflor (4.5-fold), while it exhibited a cross-resistance to dinotefuran (10.6-fold). The fitness of the Cpd-R strain by life table analysis was only 0.799 compared to the susceptible strain (Cpd-S). This Cpd-R strain exhibited significantly reduction in fecundity, oviposition days, and developmental time of nymph stage compared to the Cpd-S strain. Moreover, the expression levels of some genes related to the development and reproduction, including EcR, USP, JHAMT, and JHEH were significantly up-regulated, while Vg was down-regulated in the Cpd-R strain. This study indicates that the Cpd-R strain possessed a certain fitness cost. The above research results are useful for rational application of cycloxaprid and implementing the appropriate resistance management strategy for A. gossypii.
