Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes, and insect GSTs play a pivotal role in the metabolism of insecticides. Grapholita molesta is a worldwide pest that causes substantial economic losses to the fruit industry. However, it remains unclear how imidacloprid, a commonly used insecticide in orchards, is metabolized by G.

Herbivorous insects have evolved metabolic strategies to survive the challenges posed by plant secondary metabolites (SMs). This study reports an exploration of SMs present in pears, which serve as a defense against invasive and native and their counter-defense response. The feeding preferences of fruit borers are influenced by the softening of two pear varieties as they ripen.

The advantageous characteristics of invasive pests, particularly their ability to reproduce and adapt to the environment, have been observed. However, it remains unclear what specific inherent superiority enables fruit pests to successfully invade and dominate in interactions with other species. In this study, we report that Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus), a notorious invasive pest of pome fruits and walnuts globally, employs unique reproductive strategies in response to quercetin, a plant compound in host fruits.
