RNAi in Piezodorus guildinii (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae): Transcriptome Assembly for the Development of Pest Control Strategies

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: April 1, 2022

Red-banded stink bug Piezodorus guildinii (P. guildinii) has been described as the most damaging regarding soybean crops, leading to seed injury, low germination percentages, and foliar retention, at population densities. In recent years, RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved eukaryote silencing mechanism explored develop species-selective pesticides. this work, we evaluated RNAi in P. new pest-control strategies. For this, assembled annotated transcriptome from pool of all developmental stages. Analysis led identification 56 genes related process encompassing siRNA, miRNA, piRNA pathways. To evaluate functionality machinery, adults were injected with 28 ng/mg body weight double stranded (dsRNA) targeting vATPase A. A mortality 35 51.6% was observed after 7 14 days, respectively, downregulation gene 84% 72 h post-injection. addition, Dicer-2 Argonaute-2 genes, core proteins, upregulated 1.8-fold 48 injection. These findings showed for first time that is functional essential significant effect adult viability. Taken together, work reported here shows could be an interesting approach development red-banded control

Biodiversity in agricultural used soils: Threats and options for its conservation in Germany and Europe

DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals), Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 1, 2021

Agriculture and soil biodiversity are highly interdependent. strongly depends on essential ecosystem services of an active diverse life, leading to fertility. Fertile is the basis for cultivation vital, robust productive crops. However, today’s intensive agriculture partly aims at replacing certain natural by intense agricultural practices use agrochemicals. Even more, these including mechanical tillage, pollution from contaminated fertilizers pesticides pose direct threats biodiversity. Although biggest share has not yet been taxonomically recorded, there evidence a decline in There many opportunities support life profit its related services. Here we present set actions promote used soils measures integrated pest nutrient management, conservation diversification. All show synergies transition productions systems more sustainable climate change smart production. This process needs be understood as relevant society whole. Therefore, extra efforts cannot borne farmers alone, but adequate subsidies with clear focus need implemented policies national international level. At level 15th Conference Parties Convention Biodiversity (CBD COP15) can frame future On European level, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) implementation via strategic plans will key promoting Investments research development help continuously develop legal frameworks invest effective protection long term.
