Article Abstract

Abscisic acid (ABA) is an important phytohormone with diverse applications. It currently relies on the fermentation of , which suffers from limited availability of genetic engineering tools. Here, was engineered to enable biosynthesis of ABA. To overcome the rate-limiting P450 enzymes, systematic engineering strategies were implemented. Firstly, the dissolved oxygen was increased to boost the activity of P450 enzymes. Secondly, the expansion of endoplasmic reticulum was implemented to improve the functional expression of P450 enzymes. Lastly, rate-limiting enzymes were assembled to facilitate substrate trafficking. Moreover, ABA production was further improved by strengthening the mevalonate pathway. Finally, the engineered strain produced 1221.45 mg/L of ABA in a 5-L bioreactor. The study provides effective approaches for alleviating rate-limiting P450 enzymes to enhance ABA production and achieve competitive industrial-level ABA production in .

CYP303A1 is vital for metamorphosis in Locusta migratoria and Drosophila melanogaster. Here we uncovered that RNA interference (RNAi) against Hvcyp303a1 in the third instar larvae in a Coleopteran Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata caused severe phenotypic defects. The Hvcyp303a1 RNAi larvae grew slowly, had thin head capsule and soft scoli, and ate less potato foliage.

The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, FAW) has developed varying degrees of resistance to chlorantraniliprole (CAP). Apoptosis serves as a critical defense mechanism against pesticide stress in insects. Here, we identified a juvenile hormone (JH)-mediated apoptotic pathway through RNA-seq, revealing nine JH-induced apoptosis-related genes (four positively correlated and five negatively correlated).

Sensitivity assessment of 300 Cercospora beticola isolates collected from North Greece revealed that 38 % of the population was highly resistant to at least one of the demethylase inhibitors (DMIs) difenoconazole, epoxiconazole and flutriafol. Resistance factors greater than 50, 100 and 100 were calculated for the most resistant C. beticola isolates to flutriafol, epoxiconazole and difenoconazole, respectively.

Acequinocyl and bifenazate are widely used acaricides that inhibit mitochondrial electron transport at complex III, due to their high efficacy and low side effects. However, resistance development has been reported in Tetranychus urticae populations worldwide, likely as a result of frequent applications. This study assessed the phenotypic resistance levels of T.
