    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Panonychus citri is a globally dominant citrus plant pest mite. Pesticide-induced population resurgence is a concern for mite control. Exposure to sublethal concentrations of pesticides has stimulated reproduction and outbreak risks in many pests. Pyridaben, a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor, has been frequently used worldwide in mite control. In the study, sublethal and transgenerational effects of pyridaben exposure on Pyr_Rs (resistant) and Pyr_Control (susceptible) strains were systematically investigated in both exposed parental generation (F0 ) and unexposed offspring generations (F1 and F2 ) by evaluating life-table and physiological parameters. RESULTS: After exposure to pyridaben, the fecundity of both strains was significantly reduced in F0 generation while significantly induced in F1 generation. Interestingly, these effects also stimulated the fecundity of the F2 generation in Pyr_Control strain while no significant effects occurred for Pyr_Rs strain. The intrinsic rate of increase (r) and finite rate of increase (λ) were significantly decreased only in F1 generation of Pyr_Control strain after exposure treatment. Meanwhile, the population projection indicated a smaller population size in F1 generation of Pyr_Control strain while a population increase for Pyr_Rs strain after sublethal treatment. Subsequent detoxification enzyme assays indicated that only P450 activities in F0 generation were significantly activated by LC30 exposure to pyridaben in both strains. Significant downregulation of reproduction-related (Pc_Vg) genes was observed in the F0 generations of both strains. Significant upregulation of P450 (CYP4CL2) and Pc_Vg of the F1 generation in both strains suggested the presence of delayed hormesis effects on the reproduction and developed tolerance to pyridaben, although the effects did not last over a longer period (F2 generation). CONCLUSION: These results provide evidence for transgenerational hormesis effects of low concentrations of pyridaben exposure that may lead to population increase and resurgence risks of resistant-mites in natural settings by stimulating reproduction. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
