In most holometabolous insects, transformer-2 (tra-2) is an auxiliary gene required for sex determination, exerting a crucial role in regulating sexual differentiation; however, the study of tra-2 hemimetabolous insects remains very sparse and limited to just few species. this study, we investigated sequence expression profile bean bug, Riptortus pedestris, agricultural pest belonging Heteroptera order. Three non-sex-specific splicing isoforms Rptra-2 were found, Rptra-2293, Rptra-2284, Rptra-2299, which shared exons exhibited similar throughout all stages development, with particularly elevated levels embryo, ovary, testis. RNAi knockdown experiments revealed that suppression nymphs led abnormal females, characterized formation male-specific external genital, also caused longer nymph duration. Knockdown newly emergent virgin females would cause ovarian arrest, injecting 8th-day dsRptra-2 noticeable decline offspring numbers. Conversely, dsRptra-2-treated males, testes maintained normal morphology but experienced impaired reproductive capacity, attributed diminished sperm viability. These findings highlight determination fertility R. providing valuable insights into mechanisms insects.

Summary Soybean staygreen syndrome, characterized by delayed leaf and stem senescence, abnormal pods, aborted seeds, has recently become a serious prominent problem in soybean production. Although the pest Riptortus pedestris received increasing attention as possible cause of mechanism remains unknown. Here, we clarify that direct feeding R. , not transmission pathogen this pest, is primary typical syndrome critical damage occurs at early pod stage . Transcriptome profiling indicated many signal transduction pathways, including photoperiod, hormone, defense response, photosynthesis, respond to infestation. Importantly, discovered members FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT ) gene family were suppressed infestation, overexpression floral inducer GmFT2a attenuates symptoms mediating response photosynthesis. Together, our findings systematically illustrate association between infestation provide basis for establishing targeted prevention control system.

The bean bug (Riptortus pedestris), one of the most important pests soybean, causes staygreen syndrome, delaying plant maturation and affecting pod development, resulting in severe crop yield loss. However, little is known about underlying mechanism this pest. In study, we found that a salivary secretory protein, Rp614, induced cell death nonhost Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. NbSGT1 NbNDR1 are involved Rp614-induced death. Tissue specificity analysis showed Rp614 mainly present glands highly during pest feeding. RNA interference experiments syndrome caused by R. pedestris was significantly attenuated when silenced. Together, our results indicate plays an essential role infestation provide promising target for control.
