Differential analysis of the cytochrome p450 acaricide-resistance genes in Panonychus citri (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae) strains
Florida Entomologist 98 (1), 318-329
Abstract: The citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae), a highly destructive pest in citrus groves around the world, has developed resistance to many registered acaricides. Hexythiazox is a selective miticide that has been widely used to control citrus mites in a variety of crops. Forty-six cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase genes related to general pesticide resistance in other insect species were obtained from the transcriptomes of the hexythiazox-resistant (RR) and hexythiazox-susceptible (SS) strains of P. citri and divided into 4 clans, 15 families and 24 subfamilies. Sequence analyses of each CYP resulted in detection of 3 mutationsin the CYP307A1 gene (841-A to C, 1395-T to C, 1491-T to C) that differed between the 2 strains. Only the change at an amino acid position (278-lysine to glutamine) resulted in a sense mutation. One SNP site was also detected in CYP381A2 (40-A to T) causing a sense amino acid mutation (14-threonine to serine). Seven of these P450s belonged to the CYP2 clan, CYP3 clan and CYP4 clan based on digital gene expression (DGE) library sequencing with a
