Transcriptional profiling reveals a critical role of GmFT2a in soybean staygreen syndrome caused by the pest Riptortus pedestris

Zhongyan Wei et al.

Summary: Direct feeding by Riptortus pedestris is the primary cause of soybean staygreen syndrome, occurring at the early pod stage. Various signal transduction pathways, including photoperiod, hormone, defense response, and photosynthesis, respond to R. pedestris infestation in soybean. Overexpression of floral inducer GmFT2a attenuates staygreen symptoms by mediating soybean defense response and photosynthesis.

A salivary secretory protein from Riptortus pedestris facilitates pest infestation and soybean staygreen syndrome

Shiqi Shan et al.

Summary: The bean bug (Riptortus pedestris) is a significant soybean pest causing staygreen syndrome and yield loss. In this study, a salivary secretory protein, Rp614, was found to induce cell death in a nonhost plant, Nicotiana benthamiana. NbSGT1 and NbNDR1 were identified as important factors in Rp614-induced cell death. Tissue specificity analysis showed that Rp614 is mainly present in salivary glands and highly induced during pest feeding. Silencing Rp614 significantly attenuated staygreen syndrome caused by R. pedestris, highlighting its essential role as a potential RNA interference target for pest control.

Female Sex Determination Factors in Ceratitis capitata: Molecular and Structural Basis of TRA and TRA2 Recognition

Maryanna Martina Perrotta et al.

Summary: Insects use intricate and varied biological processes for sex determination, which can be described as variations on a common theme. The RNA-binding proteins Transformer (TRA) and Transformer2 (TRA2) play a key role in promoting female differentiation through alternative splicing of downstream genes in the model system Drosophila melanogaster. In this study, researchers demonstrate that the TRA and TRA2 orthologs in the agricultural pest Ceratitis capitata physically interact, suggesting an evolutionary conservation of this molecular mechanism.

A history of the genetic and molecular identification of genes and their functions controlling insect sex determination

Giuseppe Saccone

Summary: The genetics of sex determination in Drosophila melanogaster has a rich history intertwined with the foundation of the Genetics discipline. By studying the sex determination mechanisms in fruit flies and other insect species, evolutionary patterns of sex-determining pathways have been revealed, along with the significant link between scientific research and technological advances.

Modelling the current and future potential distribution of the bean bug Riptortus pedestris with increasingly serious damage to soybean

Hongfei Zhang et al.

Summary: The bean bug Riptortus pedestris presents a high risk of outbreaks in parts of Asia, especially in soybean-growing regions of China, with the risk continuing into the future. The predicted distribution patterns and key regulating factors identified could provide important references for developing pest management policies to mitigate the incidence of staygreen syndrome in soybean.

Gene Editing and Genetic Control of Hemipteran Pests: Progress, Challenges and Perspectives

Inaiara D. Pacheco et al.

Summary: The order Hemiptera, which includes significant agricultural pests, has been largely overlooked in genetic control approaches due to the difficulty of introducing genetic material into these insects. However, recent advances in CRISPR/Cas9 editing have shown promise in achieving gene editing in Hemipteran species. This review discusses the challenges and opportunities for extending genetic control strategies to this agriculturally important insect order.

A feminizing switch in a hemimetabolous insect

Ji-Chong Zhuo et al.

Summary: This study identified a female determiner gene Nlfmd in the brown planthopper that plays a crucial role in sex determination by influencing the splicing of doublesex gene. Another gene Nlfmd2 was found to also contribute to sex determination. The findings provide new insights into the diverse mechanisms of insect sex determination.

Field Cage Assessment of Feeding Damage by Riptortus pedestris on Soybeans in China

Wenjing Li et al.

Summary: Riptortus pedestris is a serious pest of soybeans, causing significant field damage losses. The study found that the R-4 stage of soybeans was the most sensitive to R. pedestris injury, and damage intensity increased with higher pest densities. Additionally, soybean nutrition factors changed after suffering R. pedestris injury.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the bean bug Riptortus pedestris

Hai-Jian Huang et al.

Summary: The study reports the genome of the bean bug, Riptortus pedestris, revealing its XO sex chromosome system with the shortest chromosome being the X chromosome. A total of 19,026 protein-coding genes were predicted, with 18,745 genes validated as being expressed. Temporospatial expression analysis showed a large number of genes mainly expressed in gonads and egg periods.
