The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is one of the most destructive pests that seriously threatens the high-quality and safe production of rice. However, due to the unscientific use of chemical insecticides, N. lugens has developed varying levels of resistance to insecticides, including nitenpyram and clothianidin. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter plays a nonnegligible role in phase III of the detoxification process, which may play an important role in insecticide resistance. In the present study, NlABCG3 was significantly overexpressed in both the NR and CR populations compared with susceptible populations. Silencing NlABCG3 significantly increased the susceptibility of BPH to nitenpyram and clothianidin. In addition, RNAi-mediated knockdown of three key genes in the miRNA biogenesis pathway altered the level of NlABCG3. Subsequently, the luciferase reporter assays demonstrated that novel_268 binds to the NlABCG3 coding region and downregulates its expression. Furthermore, injection of miRNA inhibitors or mimics of novel_268 significantly altered the susceptibility of N. lugens to nitenpyram and clothianidin. These results suggest that miRNA novel_268 targeting NlABCG3 is involved in nitenpyram and clothianidin resistance in N. lugens. These findings may help to enhance our knowledge of the transcriptional regulation of the ABC transporter that mediate insecticide resistance in N. lugens.

Beeswax, an FDA-approved component, has been extensively applied in feed, pharmaceutical, and food industries. The occurrence of neonicotinoid pesticides in beehive systems and their residues in beeswax have caused safety risks. Therefore, establishing a detection method for neonicotinoid pesticide residues in beeswax is crucial for ensuring its quality.

Exposure to pesticides is one of the main drivers of global bee decline. However, the occurrence of pesticides in bee-attracting crops remains underexposed due to the lack of efficient on-site screening approaches for multi-analyte monitoring. Utilizing color-encoded superparamagnetic microspheres, we constructed a portable 8-plex indirect competitive microsphere-based immunoassay for the simultaneous determination of multiple bee-hazardous residues (Bee-Plex).

Article Synopsis
  • Neonicotinoids are a type of insecticide that can harm farmland birds, but there's not much known about their effects on waterbirds.
  • In a study in Finland, scientists looked for seven types of neonicotinoids in the blood of female common goldeneyes but couldn’t find any.
  • The results suggest that these bird habitats are currently safe from neonicotinoid exposure, but more research is needed to understand the impact on the food chain and other birds.

Neonicotinoid pesticides are a relatively new class of pesticides that have garnered significant attention owing to their potential ecological risks to nontarget organisms. A method combining solid phase extraction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS/MS) was developed for the rapid and accurate detection of eight neonicotinoid pesticides (dinotefuran, -nitenpyram, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, imidaclothiz, acetamiprid, and thiacloprid) in wastewater. The chromatographic mobile phase and MS parameters were selected, and a single-factor method was used to determine the optimal column type, extraction volume, sample loading speed, and pH for SPE.

Neonicotinoids (NEOs), used as insecticides against aphids, whiteflies, lepidopterans, and beetles, have numerous detrimental impacts on human health, including chronic illnesses, cancer, infertility, and birth anomalies. Monitoring the residues in food products is necessary to guarantee public health and ecological balance. The present work validated a new method to measure seven neonicotinoid insecticides (acetamiprid ACT, clothianidin CLT, dinotefuran DNT, imidacloprid IMD, nitenpyram NTP, thiacloprid TCP, and thiamethoxan THT) in wheat.
