[Method] With the mixture of acetonitrile, water and phosphate buffer （volume ratio 10：80：10） as the mobile phase, pymetrozine and nitenpyram in samples were separated by ODS-2 reversed phase column, and detected by UV detector at 250 nm. In addition, the results were quantified by external standard method. [Result] The linear correlation coefficients of pymetrozine and nitenpyram were 0.9995 and 0.9998; the standard deviations were 0.29 and 0.22; the coefficients of variation were 0.51% and 1.21%; and the average recoveries were 100.7% and 99.1%, respectively. [Conclusion] The method is fast and simple, and can effectively separate pymetrozine and nitenpyram, with high precision and accuracy and good linear relation.展开更多

As microRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, whether they are involved in nitenpyram resistance is poorly understood in N. lugens. In this study, knockdown of key genes in the miRNA biogenesis pathway (Dicer1, Drosha, and Argonaute1) changed CYP6ER1 and CarE1 abundance, which confirmed the importance of miRNAs in nitenpyram resistance. Furthermore, global screening of miRNAs associated with nitenpyram resistance in N. lugens was performed, and a total of 42 known and 178 novel miRNAs were identified;of these, 57 were differentially expressed between the susceptible and resistant strains, and two (novel_85 and novel_191) were predicted to target CYP6ER1 and CarE1, respectively. Luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that novel_85 and novel_191 bind to the CYP6ER1 and CarE1 coding regions, respectively, and downregulate their expression. Moreover, modulating novel_85 and novel_191 expression by injection of miRNA inhibitors and mimics significantly altered N. lugens nitenpyram susceptibility. This is the first study to systematically screen and identify miRNAs associated with N. lugens nitenpyram resistance, and provides important information that can be used to develop new miRNA-based targets in insecticide resistance management.展开更多

Preliminary bioassays showed that most compounds exhibited good insecticidal activities at 20 mg/L against Aphis medicagini, and analogues 2a and 2d aflbrded the best activity, and both of them had 100% mortality at 4 mg/L. In addition, molecular docking studies were also performed to model the ligand-receptor complexes, and the results explained the structure-activity relationships observed in vitro, which may provide some useful information for future design of new insecticides.展开更多
