Abstract Gut microbiota are important in the adaptation of phytophagous insects to their plant hosts. However, interaction between gut microbiomes and pioneering populations invasive during new hosts, particularly initial phases invasion, has been less studied. We studied contribution microbiome host globally recognized pest, Hyphantria cunea, as it expands its range into southern China. The population H. cunea shows effective Metasequoia glyptostroboides exhibits greater larval survival on than original population. Genome resequencing revealed no significant differences functions related two populations. compatibility M. a correlation abundance several bacteria genera (Bacteroides, Blautia, Coprococcus) survival. Transplanting from northern enhanced adaptability latter previously unsuitable glyptostroboides. This research provides evidence that can enhance pests hosts enable more rapid habitats.

Abstract The Southern green shield bug, Nezara viridula, is an invasive piercing and sucking pest insect that feeds on crop plants poses a threat to global food production. Given insects are known live in close relationship with microorganisms, our study provides insights into the community composition function of N. viridula-associated microbiota its effect host–plant interactions. We discovered viridula hosts both vertically horizontally transmitted throughout different developmental stages their salivary glands harbor thriving microbial plant while feeding. was shown aid host detoxification metabolite, namely 3-nitropropionic acid, repression defenses. Our results demonstrate plays important role interactions between could therefore be considered valuable target for development sustainable control strategies.

Alkaloids gained long-lasting interest worldwide for their extraordinary therapeutic effects of analgesic, anti-inflammation, and anti-tumor, offering a rich source lead compound design new drug discovery. However, some these alkaloids possess intrinsic toxicity. Processing (Paozhi) is pre-processing step before herbal medicines' application in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinics, which has been employed centuries to mitigate the toxicity alkaloid-rich TCMs. To explore phenotypes, chemical basis, mode action, detoxification processing methods, underlying mechanisms, we can gain crucial insights into safe rational use toxic herbs, have great potential offer strategies discovery development, help improve quality life millions people.

Abstract Plants are unique organisms that have developed ingenious strategies to cope with environmental challenges, such as herbivorous insects. One of these is the synthesis a vast array chemical compounds, known specialized metabolites, serve many ecological functions. Among most fascinating and diverse groups metabolites alkaloids, which characterized by presence nitrogen atom within heterocyclic ring. While some medicinal recreational applications, others highly unpalatable and/or toxic. The effects alkaloids on both humans insects can be very diverse, affecting their physiology behavior. Insects feed alkaloid-containing plants evolved various mechanisms consequences toxins. These include sequestration, where store in tissues or organs, enzymatic detoxification through enzymes cytochrome P450 monooxygenases glutathione S-transferases, behavioral adaptations selective feeding. In this review, we explore relationships between plant evolutionary enable exploit alkaloid-rich food sources niches minimizing harmful natural compounds. We aim provide comprehensive updated overview complex interaction.
