  • detection of organophosphate and pyrethroid resistance alleles in czech Leptinotarsa decemlineata coleoptera chrysomelidae populations by molecular methods
    Pest Management Science, 2010
    Co-Authors: Tereza Zichová, František Kocourek, Jaroslav Salava, Kateřina Nadova, Jitka Stará
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Pyrethroids and organophosphates are the most frequently used insecticides for Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), control in the Czech Republic. Based on molecular methods, organophosphate and pyrethroid resistance alleles have been detected in samples from three sites. The accuracy of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and bidirectional polymerase chain reaction amplification of specific alleles (Bi-PASA) for detection of resistance alleles is compared. RESULTS: Leptinotarsa decemlineata from three sites showed higher frequencies of resistance alleles to organophosphates than to pyrethroids. The rates of occurrence of individuals homozygous resistant (RR) to pyrethroids ranged from 20.0 to 22.9%, while the rates of occurrence of individuals RR to organophosphates ranged from 52.9 to 66.7%. The incidences of individuals with resistance alleles to both organophosphates and pyrethroids ranged from 8.6 to 13.6%. No relationship was found between incidence of the pyrethroid resistance allele and site, while incidence of the organophosphate resistance allele differed significantly according to site. CONCLUSION: Both RFLP and Bi-PASA were suitable for detecting resistance alleles to pyrethroids, and in most cases also for detecting resistance alleles to organophosphates. In contrast to Bi-PASA, RFLP was also suitable for samples with lower DNA quality when testing for the resistance allele to pyrethroids. On the other hand, RFLP was not as accurate as Bi-PASA in detection of the organophosphate resistance allele. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry

  • Elevated rates of positive selection drive the evolution of pestiferousness in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata, Say)
    Molecular ecology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Zachary P. Cohen, Kristian Brevik, Yolanda H. Chen, David J. Hawthorne, Benjamin D. Weibel, Sean D. Schoville
    Abstract:

    Contextualizing evolutionary history and identifying genomic features of an insect that might contribute to its pest status is important in developing early detection and control tactics. In order to understand the evolution of pestiferousness, which we define as the accumulation of traits that contribute to an insect population's success in an agroecosystem, we tested the importance of known genomic properties associated with rapid adaptation in the Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. Within the leaf beetle genus Leptinotarsa, only CPB, and a few populations therein, has risen to pest status on cultivated nightshades, Solanum. Using whole genomes from ten closely related Leptinotarsa species native to the United States, we reconstructed a high-quality species tree and used this phylogenetic framework to assess evolutionary patterns in four genomic features of rapid adaptation: standing genetic variation, gene family expansion and contraction, transposable element abundance and location, and positive selection at protein-coding genes. Throughout approximately 20 million years of history, Leptinotarsa species show little evidence of gene family turnover and transposable element variation. However, there is a clear pattern of CPB experiencing higher rates of positive selection on protein-coding genes. We determine that these rates are associated with greater standing genetic variation due to larger effective population size, which supports the theory that the demographic history contributes to rates of protein evolution. Furthermore, we identify a suite of coding genes under positive selection that are putatively associated with pestiferousness in the Colorado potato beetle lineage. They are involved in the biological processes of xenobiotic detoxification, chemosensation and hormone function.

  • Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping of Pyrethroid Resistance in Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
    Journal of economic entomology, 2003
    Co-Authors: David J. Hawthorne
    Abstract:

    Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is a valuable new tool for locating genomic regions that underlie variation in important traits such as insecticide resistance. Because QTL mapping complements a candidate gene strategy for understanding the genetic architecture of important traits, it may also facilitate the identification of genes causing important variation. After mapping the QTL locations, markers closely linked to QTL can be used for genetic analysis of population structure and to measure the spread and increase of resistance-causing QTL alleles. In this study, QTL influencing resistance to the pyrethroid insecticide esfenvalerate were mapped in the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (CPB). Three QTL contributing to esfenvalerate resistance were identified from a mapping population of 79 individuals analyzed at 90 marker loci. One QTL had a large effect and two QTL had smaller effects. The major QTL occurs on the X chromosome, overlapping the position of a candidate gene (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Voltage sensitive sodium channel [LdVssc1]) previously implicated in pyrethroid resistance. Resistance-increasing alleles at the two minor-effect QTL originated with the susceptible parent, suggesting that alleles of small effect may be segregating in susceptible populations. Comparison of the New York population from which the susceptible parent originated with a more-susceptible population from North Carolina suggests that the minor-effect loci identified here may explain some of the variation in tolerance observed among susceptible populations. DNA sequencing of a portion of LdVssc1 shows that the resistance-conferring allele from the resistant parent does not contain the kdr mutation previously found in CPB and typically observed in other insects that are resistant to pyrethroid insecticides because of changes in this gene.

  • aflp based genetic linkage map of the colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata sex chromosomes and a pyrethroid resistance candidate gene
    Genetics, 2001
    Co-Authors: David J. Hawthorne
    Abstract:

    A genetic linkage map was constructed from an intraspecific cross of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. This is an initial step toward mapping the loci that underlie important phenotypes associated with insect adaptation to an agroecosystem. The map was made with 172 AFLP and 10 anonymous codominant markers segregating among 74 backcross (BC 1 ) individuals. Markers were mapped to 18 linkage groups and a subset of the markers with a mean intermarker distance of 11.1 cM is presented. A pyrethroid-resistance candidate gene, LdVssc1, was placed onto the map as well. The sex chromosome was identified by exploiting the XO nature of sex determination in this species using patterns of variation at LdVssc1 and the codominant markers.
