“…In general, highly polyphagous lepidopteran species have a partially overlapping host range 14 . Brassica vegetables are the host plants for the common cutworm, Spodoptera litura , a relative of S. frugiperda 25 , 26 . Recently, the biology and biometric characteristics of S. frugiperda reared on Brassica oleracea var.…”

Spodoptera frugiperda is a highly polyphagous pest worldwide with a wide host range that causes serious losses to many economically important crops. Recently, insect-microbe associations have become a hot spot in current entomology research, and the midgut microbiome of S. frugiperda has been investigated, while the effects of cruciferous vegetables remain unknown. In this study, the growth of S. frugiperda larvae fed on an artificial diet, Brassica campestris and Brassica oleracea for 7 days was analyzed. Besides, the microbial community and functional prediction analyses of the larval midguts of S. frugiperda fed with different diets were performed by high-throughput sequencing. Our results showed that B. oleracea inhibited the growth of S. frugiperda larvae. The larval midgut microbial community composition and structure were significantly affected by different diets. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) suggested 20 bacterial genera and 2 fungal genera contributed to different gut microbial community structures. The functional classification of the midgut microbiome analyzed by PICRUSt and FUNGuild showed that the most COG function categories of midgut bacterial function were changed by B. oleracea, while the guilds of fungal function were altered by B. campestris significantly. These results showed that the diversity and structure of the S. frugiperda midgut microbial community were affected by cruciferous vegetable feeding. Our study provided a preliminary understanding of the role of midgut microbes in S. frugiperda larvae in response to cruciferous vegetables.

“…For example, variation in the host plant quality may affect the pupal weight of herbivorous insects, which in turn can determine the parameters of life history, such as the longevity and fecundity of females (Abdullah et al . 2019; Trudeau et al . 2010).…”

The summer fruit tortrix moth Adoxophyes orana is a seriously damaged leaf roller pest for fruit trees. In this study, we evaluated the effect of five host plants (apple, Malus domestica B.; peach, Prunus persica var. nectarina; apricot, Armeniaca vulgaris Lam.; mulberry, Morus alba L.; and jujube, Ziziphus jujuba M.) on the development, survival, and fecundity of A. orana under laboratory conditions. Results showed that the development times of A. orana on jujube were significantly longer than those on the other four plants. The preimaginal survival rate was influenced by the host plants, which were fed during the larval stage, and with the highest on peach, followed by apple, apricot, and mulberry, and with the lowest on jujube. Adult females from larvae reared on apricot laid the greatest numbers of eggs (318.11 eggs per female), while that on apple, jujube, and mulberry was smaller, and no significant difference was observed among them. The highest intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was observed on peach and apricot; these two fruit trees were considered to be the most suitable host plant for A. orana because of the shorter developmental duration, higher survival rate, and the highest fecundity.

“…Al-Shannaf (2011) found that larvae that fed on turnip leaves had the shortest larval duration 12.64 and 13.0 days in two generations. Abdullah et al (2019) mentioned that the pupal development of S. litura was minimum with respect to days on maize than others. The adults lived 11 days more on cabbage compared to other diets.…”

“…The percentages of viability by female S. littoralis were highest on wild beets, followed by those on red radish and clover without significant differences. Abdullah et al (2019) observed that adult emergence rate of S. litura was high on cabbage (93.11%), followed by alfalfa (87.5%), sesbania (81.33%), and maize (68.44%). Fecundity was higher when larvae fed on leaves of cabbage, alfalfa, and sesbania as compared to maize and artificial diet.…”
