摘要: 桃蚜Myzus persicae是重要的农作物害虫,本研究旨在明确桃蚜几丁质酶3(MperCht3)基因的分子特征以及沉默该基因对桃蚜存活和生殖的影响。从桃蚜转录组中鉴定MperCht3并利用生物信息学软件分析其序列特征,通过实时定量PCR测定MperCht3在桃蚜不同发育阶段及20-羟基蜕皮酮(20E)处理后的转录模式,采用病毒介导的基因沉默(virus-induced gene silencing,VIGS)技术抑制MperCht3的转录并分析桃蚜存活率和产蚜量的变化。结果表明,MperCht3基因包含7个外显子,开放阅读框长度为1422 bp,编码的蛋白含有1个保守的几丁质酶结构域,且与豌豆蚜ApisCht3亲缘关系最近。MperCht3的转录水平在1龄和2龄若虫期较低,从3龄若虫期开始显著上升,在4龄若虫期达到最高。20E处理后24 h,MperCht3表达量显著提高。沉默MperCht3后48、72、96和120 h,桃蚜存活率分别为83.4%、78.02%、70.55%和66.38%,均显著低于对照组的存活率。此外,沉默MperCht3导致37.4%的若蚜无法正常蜕皮,雌成蚜的产蚜量也显著减少。本研究结果表明MperCht3在桃蚜的存活和生殖中具有重要作用,可作为潜在的RNA干扰靶标,用于桃蚜生物防治。

Abstract: The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, is an important agricultural pest. This study aims to elucidate the molecular characteristics of the chitinase gene MperCht3 in Myzus persicae and to unravel the effects of MperCht3-silencing on aphid survival and reproduction. MperCht3 was identified from the M. persicae transcriptome, and its sequence features were analyzed using bioinformatic software. The transcriptional profile of MperCht3 in M. persicae during various developmental stages and following exposure to 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) were examined using reverse transcription quantitative PCR. The transcription of MperCht3 was suppressed using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology and the changes in survival rate and offspring number of M. persicae were investigated. The results indicate that the MperCht3 gene consists of seven exons and contains an open reading frame of 1422 bp. The protein encoded by MperCht3 has a conserved chitinase domain and displays the closest phylogenetic relationship with ApisCht3 from Acyrthosiphon pisum. The transcriptional level of MperCht3 was low in the 1 st and the 2nd instars, but increased obviouslyin the 3rd instars and reached the peak in the 4th instars. The transcriptional level of MperCht3 was greatly upregulated at 24 h following treatment with 20E. At 48, 72, 96, and 120 h after silencing of MperCht3, the survival rates of M. persicae were 83.4%, 78.02%, 70.55%, and 66.38%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of the control. In addition, 37.4% of the MperCht3- silenced nymphs displayed incomplete molting phenotypes, and the fecundity of the MperCht3-silenced female adults was significantly reduced. The findings of this study indicate that MperCht3 plays essential roles in survival and reproduction in M. persicae and could be used as a potential RNA interference target for the biological control of M. persicae.
