“…The caterpillar, Diaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is one of the major insect pests of T. anguina in India and Sri Lanka (Roopa et al ., 2014). The insect is also a serious pest of cucumber, melon, gherkin, bottle gourd, bitter gourd, snake gourd, luffa, little cucumber and cotton (Tripathi and Pandy, 1973; Pandey, 1977; Clavijo et al ., 1995; Hosseinzade et al ., 2014). The first to third-instar larvae feed on the lower surface of leaves, while fourth and fifth-instar larvae gregariously consume leaves.…”

Diaphania indica (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is an important phytophagous pest of Trichosanthes anguina L. in India. We studied life table parameters by age-stage, two-sex, amylolytic and proteolytic activities, and food utilization parameters of D. indica on the leaves of three T. anguina cultivars (Baruipur Long, Polo No. 1 and MNSR-1). Further, nutrients (total carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, amino acids and nitrogen) and antinutrients (total phenols, flavonols and tannins) in leaves were determined. The development time (egg to adult emergence) was the shortest on MNSR-1 (19.79 d) and the longest on Polo No. 1 (25.72 d). Fecundity was the highest and lowest on MNSR-1 (259 eggs) and Polo No. 1 (151.22 eggs), respectively. The lowest intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and net reproductive rate (R0) of D. indica on Polo No. 1 were 0.1112 d−1 and 27.22 offspring individual−1, respectively. The mean generation time (T) was the shortest on MNSR-1 (23.99 days) and the longest on Polo No. 1 (29.70 d). The larvae of D. indica fed with MNSR-1 had the highest level of amylolytic and proteolytic activities, and the lowest activities were in the larvae fed with Polo No. 1. The fifth-instar larvae fed with Polo No. 1 had the lowest consumption index and growth rate. The higher larval development time and lower fecundity of D. indica on Polo No. 1 were due to the lower level of nutrients and a higher level of antinutrients than other cultivars. Our results concluded that Polo No. 1 cultivar could be suggested for cultivation.

“…In recent years, many studies have focused on the effects of lighting on animal behavior and internal physiology and metabolism at the genetic and protein levels (Edery, 2000;Glaser and Stanewsky, 2005;Lohmann et al, 2007;Fuller et al, 2008). Insects are cold-blooded, thus temperature is directly involved in the regulation of physiological behavior mechanisms including hatching and feeding, growth and metamorphosis, reproduction and diapause, and migration and calling (Zhu et al, 2008a(Zhu et al, /2008bTanaka and Watari, 2011;Xu et al, 2012;Hosseinzade et al, 2014;Liao et al, 2014;Soltani Orang et al, 2014). A Drosophila study found that cyclical changes in temperature with differences of 2-3°C reset and synchronized the circadian clock (Gentile et al, 2013).…”

The physiology and metabolism of poikilothermic insects are under the control of environmental temperature. Temperature is the primary cue for the circadian rhythm. Reports on the timing mechanisms of temperature in lepidopterans are limited. This study used Bombyx mori BmN ovarian cells to investigate the effect of temperature on expression of the main circadian clock genes in a negative feedback loop. A 37°C, 30-min high-temperature stimulation induced transcription of the circadian clock genes Cry1, Cry2, Per, and Tim. The gene expression profiles showed rhythmic oscillations, with shortened oscillatory periods for Cry1 and altered oscillatory phases for Cry1 and Per. Cyclical increases in temperature of 2°C starting at 26°C, 5°C starting at 20 or 25°C, or 10°C starting at 20°C induced cyclical changes in expression and protein from the four circadian clock genes. Cyclical temperature changes with a difference of 10°C had the most influence. In conclusion, cyclical changes in temperature with differences from 2 to 10°C reset and synchronized the circadian clock of silkworm BmN cells. Transcription of the genes for and protein from Cry2 and Per showed a better reset and synchronization with cyclical temperature changes.

“…The pests include those affecting cucurbits worldwide as well as those which are more pronounced in certain regions of the globe, where they attain the status of primary pests. Cucumber moth, Diaphania indica , is a potentially damaging pest of cucurbitaceous vegetables worldwide ( Chintha et al, 2002 ; Kinjo and Arakaki, 2002 ; Hosseinzade et al, 2014 ; Dai et al, 2018 ; Jalali et al, 2019 ; Capinera, 2020 ; Debnath et al, 2020 ; Khanzada et al, 2021 ). The attractiveness of cucurbitaceous host plants for D. indica was observed to depend on the species and condition of the plant (uninfested and infested), and sex, mating status and experience of the insect.…”

Multiple Stressors in Vegetable Production: Insights for Trait-Based Crop Improvement in Cucurbits

Vegetable production is a key determinant of contribution from the agricultural sector toward national Gross Domestic Product in a country like India, the second largest producer of fresh vegetables in the world. This calls for a careful scrutiny of the threats to vegetable farming in the event of climate extremes, environmental degradation and incidence of plant pests/diseases. Cucurbits are a vast group of vegetables grown almost throughout the world, which contribute to the daily diet on a global scale. Increasing food supply to cater to the ever-increasing world population, calls for intensive, off-season and year-round cultivation of cucurbits. Current situation predisposes these crops to a multitude of stressors, often simultaneously, under field conditions. This scenario warrants a systematic understanding of the different stress specific traits/mechanisms/pathways and their crosstalk that have been examined in cucurbits and identification of gaps and formulation of perspectives on prospective research directions. The careful dissection of plant responses under specific production environments will help in trait identification for genotype selection, germplasm screens to identify superior donors or for direct genetic manipulation by modern tools for crop improvement. Cucurbits exhibit a wide range of acclimatory responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses, among which a few like morphological characters like waxiness of cuticle; primary and secondary metabolic adjustments; membrane thermostability, osmoregulation and, protein and reactive oxygen species homeostasis and turnover contributing to cellular tolerance, appear to be common and involved in cross talk under combinatorial stress exposures. This is assumed to have profound influence in triggering system level acclimation responses that safeguard growth and metabolism. The possible strategies attempted such as grafting initiatives, molecular breeding, novel genetic manipulation avenues like gene editing and ameliorative stress mitigation approaches, have paved way to unravel the prospects for combined stress tolerance. The advent of next generation sequencing technologies and big data management of the omics output generated have added to the mettle of such emanated concepts and ideas. In this review, we attempt to compile the progress made in deciphering the biotic and abiotic stress responses of cucurbits and their associated traits, both individually and in combination.
