Article Abstract
The beet webworm ( L.) is an important agricultural pest and can tolerate harsh environmental conditions by entering diapause. The diapause mechanism of beet webworm is unknown. Therefore, we conducted a transcriptomic study of the process from diapause induction to diapause release in beet webworms. The results revealed 393 gene modules closely related to the diapause of beet webworm. The hub gene of the red module was the HDACI gene, which acts through histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes. HDAC enzyme activity was regulated by the light duration and influenced the JH content under induced beet webworm diapause conditions (12 h light:12 h dark). In addition, transcriptomic data suggested that circadian genes may not be the key genes responsible for beet webworm diapause. However, we showed that the photoperiod affects HDAC enzyme activity, and HDAC can regulate the involvement of JH in beet webworm diapause. This study provided a new module for studying insect diapause and links histone acetylation and diapause at the transcriptome level.

The beet webworm, , whose oviposition behavior significantly affects population quantity and causes crop losses, has poorly understood olfactory mechanisms governing this behavior. Odorant receptors (ORs) play a critical role in the insect olfactory system. Here, three ORs (LstiOR1, LstiOR2, LstiOR3) were cloned, with all highly expressed in female antennae.

The beet webworm Loxostege sticticalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is an invasive and polyphagous pest, posing a severe threat to food security, agriculture, and animal production. In this study, we examined the biological parameters of L. sticticalis on four host plants: white goosefoot, Chenopodium album (Caryophyllales: Amaranthaceae), sunflower, Helianthus annuus L (Asterales: Compositae), wheat, Triticum aestivum L (Poales: Poaceae), and soybean, Glycine max (L.

The beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a globally distributed agricultural pest, poses a significant threat to food, oil, and cash crops. This species' outbreak dynamics primarily depend on 2 biological characteristics: larval overwintering through diapause and adult long-distance migration. However, the regulatory effects of diapause on migratory capacity and their underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Insects sense intraspecific or interspecific information about the chemical substances in the habitat through the sensitive olfactory system to carry out foraging, mating, oviposition, and other activities. The antennae serve as the primary olfactory organs in insects. The olfactory process involves the participation of many proteins, such as odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and odorant receptors (ORs), but ORs play a central role in olfactory specificity and sensitivity.
