“…The peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii, is one of the most damaging borers of pome and stone fruits, especially apple and peach. 1,2 Significant economic losses are caused by this species, despite it being listed as a quarantine pest for ports and markets once. The larvae of Carposina sasakii can penetrate the fruits and feed on the flesh inside immediately after hatching, making it difficult to reduce larvae numbers using chemicals.…”

“…The peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii Matsumura (Lepidoptera: Carposinidae), is one of the most damaging borers of pome and stone fruits [ 1 , 2 ], such as apple, hawthorn, pear, jujube, peach, et al Once the larvae of this insect bore into the young fruits, the pests deteriorate the quality of the fruits, then eat the pulp and release excreta into the fruits, ultimately resulting in significant economic losses. To avoid severe damage in production areas, the peach fruit moth is even listed as one of the important quarantine pests in some ports and markets and needs to be manually checked carefully whether or not the fruits are infested with it before shipment [ 3 ].…”

BackgroundThe peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii Matsumura (Lepidoptera: Carposinidae), poses a serious threat to a variety of fruits and causes significant economic loss owing to difficulties in its prevention and control. The olfactory sense is generally acknowledged to be a novel target for pest control. However, a systematic study of the olfactory genes expressed in C. sasakii has not been reported yet. Here, we reported the antennal transcriptome of C. sasakii using high-throughput sequencing and annotated the main chemosensory multi-gene families.ResultsIn the chemosensory gene families, 29 odorant-binding proteins, 13 chemosensory proteins, 1 sensory neuron membrane protein, 52 odorant receptors, 8 ionotropic receptors and 11 gustatory receptors were annotated in the C. sasakii antennal transcriptome. The number of olfactory genes obtained in our transcriptome was consistent with that identified in other lepidopteran insects, confirming that we basically accomplished the annotation of the chemosensory genes of C. sasakii in the adult antennal transcriptome. All sequences were annotated and analyzed by BLAST (basic local alignment search tool), and some chemosensory genes with specific functions were named according to the BLAST results and phylogenetic trees. Based on the expression profile in the transcriptome and phylogenetic analysis, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in both male and female adults. Finally, fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR was used to identify the male-specific or female-specific chemosensory genes that were putatively related to odor detection and recognition. Moreover, expression levels of OR33 and PBP2 were significantly higher in males than in females, indicating that these genes may interact with sex pheromones. We found some conserved antennal IRs and GRs involved in detecting sugar compounds (GR2, GR5, GR6, GR8) and carbon dioxide (GR1), which were also identified based on phylogenetic analysis.ConclusionsThere are 114 putative chemosensory proteins expressed in C. sasakii identified in this study. The identification of these proteins will make the molecular mechanism of odor recognition accessible.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12864-018-4900-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…On the other hand, exposure to excessive moisture can be detrimental for the resumption of post-diapause development as well (Jin et al ., 2016). Regardless of the amount of precipitation, the timing of rainfall and the persistence of moist soil may regulate diapause processes of insects, given that diapausing stages may only be sensitive to soil moisture for a short period and different soil textures have various water-retention capacities (Ma et al ., 2017). A combined effect of moisture with temperature on post-diapause development rates has also been reported for Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae) (Jin et al ., 2016), S. mosellana (Cheng et al ., 2017) and Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (Tauber et al ., 1994).…”

The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a univoltine species that undergoes obligatory summer–winter diapause at pupal stage in the soil (2–5 cm) beneath host trees. To study the effects of photoperiod and relative humidity on diapause termination and post-winter developmental duration of R. cerasi, pupae collected from Dossenheim (Germany) were exposed to different photoperiod or relative humidity regimes during a chilling period ranging from 2 to 8.5 months. Specifically, pupae were exposed to four photoperiod regimes: (a) light conditions (24L:00D), (b) dark conditions (00L:24D), (c) short photoperiod (08L:16D) and (d) long photoperiod (16L:08D), as well as to three relative humidity regimes: (a) low (40% RH), (b) medium (60% RH) and (c) high (70–80% RH). Data revealed that relative humidity is not a significant predictor of diapause termination, but it affects the post-winter developmental period. Higher relative humidity promotes post-winter pupae development. On the other hand, photoperiod significantly affected both diapause termination and post-winter development of R. cerasi pupae. Light conditions (24L:00D) accelerate adult emergence, particularly for females. Regardless of the photoperiod (24L:00D, 00L:24D, 08L:16D), rates of adult emergence were high (>75%) for chilling intervals longer than 6.5 months. Nonetheless, exposure to a long day photoperiod (16L:08D), during chilling, dramatically reduced the proportion of adult emergence following 6 months exposure to chilling. Our findings broaden the understanding of factors regulating diapause responses in European cherry fruit fly, local adaptation and synchronization of adult emergence with the ripening period of major hosts.
