  • Title: Insecticide resistance trait may contribute to genetic cluster change in Bemisia tabaci MED (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) as a potential driving force.
    Author: Park Y, Kim S, Lee SH, Lee JH.
    Journal: Pest Manag Sci; 2021 Jul; 77(7):3581-3587. PubMed ID: 33843146.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Previously, we reported that the majority of the Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean (MED) populations converged from two dominant genetic clusters (cluster 1 and 2) to one (cluster 2) during 1 year in greenhouse tomatoes in Korea. To find possible mechanisms for this phenomenon, we investigated the concurrent changes in resistance traits of the two clusters for three insecticide classes (organophosphate, pyrethroid, and neonicotinoid). RESULTS: Since the resistance mutation frequencies in regional samples were either high (i.e. the voltage-sensitive sodium channel L925I/T929V mutations and the F392 acetylcholinesterase 1 mutation) or zero (the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor R81T mutation), no meaningful correlation between the resistance allele frequency and genetic cluster was deduced. However, the actual resistance levels to all three insecticide classes were significantly higher in cluster 2 than in cluster 1, suggesting that cluster 2 has a higher resistance potential. Furthermore, thiamethoxam treatment to the mixed population of clusters 1 and 2 over three generations exhibited a strong tendency of population change from cluster 1 to cluster 2. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that the insecticide resistance trait is one of the driving forces for rapid genetic cluster change in B. tabaci MED populations. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
