Identification and pharmacological characterization of pH-sensitive chloride channels in the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda.

The pH-sensitive chloride channels (pHCls) are unique to invertebrates and play crucial roles in fluid regulation, food selection, and intake. In this study, we identified and isolated two cDNAs encoding the SfpHCl1 and SfpHCl2 subunits from the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. Both subunits exhibited similar expression patterns.

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Detecting Gly-4891-Glu and Ile-4734 Multiple Mutations of Ryanodine Receptor in the Fall Armyworm, .

The key mutations, such as the Gly-4891-Glu substitution and the Ile-4734 multiple substitutions within the ryanodine receptors (RyR), are linked to diamide resistance in fall armyworm (FAW), . In this study, we found that FAW remained sensitive to cyantraniliprole and chlorantraniliprole, while its sensitivity to flubendiamide was reduced. Moreover, a low level of heterozygous mutation at I4743 was observed.

Sublethal effect and detoxifying metabolism of metaflumizone and indoxacarb on the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda.

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), is a highly polyphagous invasive pest that damages various crops.
