    Abstract:
    Sulfoxaflor, an important alternative insecticide in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, can effectively control sap-feeding insect pests such as Aphis gossypii. Although the side effects of sulfoxaflor have recently attracted widespread attention, its toxicological characteristics and mechanisms are still largely undefined. Therefore, the biological characteristics, life table and feeding behaviour of A. gossypii were studied to evaluate the hormesis effect of sulfoxaflor. Then, the potential mechanisms of induced fecundity associated with the vitellogenin (Ag. Vg) and vitellogenin receptor (Ag. VgR) genes were investigated. Although the LC10 and LC30 concentrations of sulfoxaflor significantly reduced the fecundity and net reproduction rate (R0) of the directly exposed sulfoxaflor-resistant and susceptible aphids, hormesis effects on fecundity and R0 were observed in the F1 generation of Sus A. gossypii when the parental generation was exposed to the LC10 of sulfoxaflor. Moreover, the hormesis effects of sulfoxaflor on phloem feeding were observed in both A. gossypii strains. Additionally, enhanced expression levels and protein content of Ag. Vg and Ag. VgR were observed in progeny generations when F0 was subjected to the trans- and multigenerational sublethal sulfoxaflor exposure. Therefore, sulfoxaflor-induced resurgence might occur in A. gossypii after exposure to sublethal concentrations. Our study could contribute to a comprehensive risk assessment and provide convincing reference to optimize sulfoxaflor in IPM strategies.
