Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pest control technology, specifically to the application of inhibiting farnesol dehydrogenase in enhancing the toxicity of trifluralin. Background Technology
[0002] Insecticides play an irreplaceable core role in the control of pests in the field. Current research and application of nematicides and acaricides not only aim to precisely control harmful nematodes, insects, and mites and address existing pesticide resistance issues in the field, but also to consider environmental safety to promote sustainable agricultural development. Therefore, the creation and development of insecticides with novel targets and modes of action are crucial. Trifluralin is a novel, green nematicide and acaricide independently developed in my country that combines nematicide and acaricide properties. It exhibits no cross-resistance with common nematicides and acaricides on the market, has long-lasting and stable efficacy, is green, low in toxicity, leaves no residue, and has high ecological safety, making its application prospects broad.
[0003] Research on the toxicity synergy of insecticides is a key area of innovation in agricultural science and technology. The aim is to explore ways to reduce insecticide usage while effectively killing pests, thereby conserving resources, reducing pollution, delaying the development of insecticide resistance, and extending the lifespan of existing insecticides. Currently, several invention patents have been published regarding the toxicity synergy of trifluralin (CN113875758B, CN110946146B, CN119791116A, CN109006821A, etc.). Most of these studies focus on the combined application of trifluralin with other commercially available insecticides, which limits their scope of application. Therefore, in-depth research into the toxicity synergy pathways and mechanisms of trifluralin will contribute to its widespread promotion and application, and also provide fundamental support for research on pesticide compounding and synergistic effects.

Primers used in quantitative real-time PCR were designed online (https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / tools / primer-blast / index.cgi?LINK_LOC=BlastHome), with the following sequence information: q-FDL22 F: 5'-TCGAGTGGAACGGGTTGAAG-3' (SEQ ID NO.9), q-FDL22 R: 5'-ACCTGGGTAATGTCTTCCTCCT-3' (SEQ ID NO.10); q-RSP17 F: 5'-AAGAAGTGGCCATCATTCCA-3' (SEQ ID NO.11), q-RSP17 R: 5'-GGTCTCCGGGTCGACTTC-3' (SEQ ID NO.12). qPCR reactions were performed on the Bio-Rad Real-Time PCR system using the ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR MasterMix kit, with a 2... -ΔΔCt The qPCR data were processed using the method described in Table 1.

[0066] Note: n=4~6, indicating 4~6 biological replicates were performed; # indicates successful replication. t The test analysis showed a significant difference in the mean values between the trifluralin + S-(+)-tebufenozide group and the trifluralin group. p <0.05), the same applies below.
[0067] From Table 1 and Figure 1 It can be seen that feeding and soaking delivery methods are used for ds FDL22 Aedes aegypti larvae FDL22 The expression level of dsGFP was reduced by approximately 40% compared to the control group of Aedes aegypti larvae delivered by feeding and soaking. This indicates that dsGFP expression can significantly interfere with Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. FDL22 The expression of [the gene] achieved knockdown of FDL22 in Aedes aegypti larvae, satisfying the requirements for functional analysis and subsequent interference of Aedes aegypti larvae with dsRNA. FDL22 The requirements for the virulence enhancement experiment of trifluralin against Aedes aegypti larvae after expression.
[0068] 5. Toxicity test of Aedes aegypti larvae: The toxicity of second-instar larvae of Aedes aegypti that had not been exposed to trifluralin was determined. 25 larvae were subjected to ds... GFP The treated larvae and 25 ds FDL22 The treated larvae were immersed in 50 mL of trifluralin at a concentration of 133.30 mg / L for 48 h, and the change in mortality rate was used as the analytical indicator.
[0069] The results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 Farnesol dehydrogenase in Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae FDL22 The graph shows the synergistic effect of mRNA expression inhibition on the toxicity of 133.30 mg / L trifluralin against Aedes aegypti larvae.
[0070] Table 2 (by ds) GFP and ds FDL22 Mortality rate of Aedes aegypti larvae after 48 hours of treatment followed by immersion in a solution containing 133.30 mg / L trifluralin for 48 hours.
[0071]
[0072] From Table 2 and Figure 2 We can obtain, dsFDL22 The mortality rate of *Aedes aegypti* larvae pretreated for 48 h was approximately 20% higher after immersion in 133.30 mg / L trifluralin for 48 h compared to those pretreated with dsGFP for 48 h. This indicates that within knockdown *Aedes aegypti* larvae... FDL22 Under the condition of adequate expression, trifluralin can significantly enhance the toxicity of trifluralin to Aedes aegypti larvae. The expression level of FDL22 in Aedes aegypti is negatively correlated with the toxicity of trifluralin to larvae.
[0073] Example 2 This implementation case uses Aedes aegypti larvae as a model. By mixing and applying S-(+)-tebufenozide and trifluralin, the toxicity of trifluralin against Aedes aegypti larvae is significantly enhanced.
[0074] Using acetone as a solvent, a 3000 mg / L stock solution of S-(+)-tebufenozide was prepared. This stock solution was then added to 50 mL of a 133.30 mg / L trifluralin solution, resulting in final S-(+)-tebufenozide concentrations of 3 mg / L, 6 mg / L, and 10 mg / L in the mixed solutions. Toxicity was determined in second-instar larvae of *Aedes aegypti* that had not been exposed to trifluralin or S-(+)-tebufenozide. For each experimental group, 25 second-instar larvae were immersed in 50 mL of solutions containing 3 mg / L, 6 mg / L, and 10 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide mixed with 133.30 mg / L trifluralin, respectively. Larval mortality was recorded after 24 h or 48 h. Simultaneously, 3 mg / L, 6 mg / L, and 10 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide were added separately as control group 1, and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin was added separately as control group 2. The larval mortality rate of the experimental and control groups was used as the analysis index. The results are shown in Tables 3-5 and Figures 3-5 As shown, Figure 3 The toxicity enhancement effect of a mixture of 3 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin on Aedes aegypti larvae after 48 h of treatment is shown in the figure. Figure 4 The toxicity enhancement effect of a mixture of 6 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin on Aedes aegypti larvae after 24 h of treatment is shown in the figure. Figure 5 The toxicity enhancement effect of a mixture of 10 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin on Aedes aegypti larvae after 24 h of treatment is shown in the figure.

[0076]
[0077] Note: n=5, 5 biological replicates were performed; different letters (a, b, c) indicate significant differences between groups as determined by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. p <0.05), the same applies below.

[0081]
[0082] From Tables 3-5 and Figures 3-5 It was found that the combined use of 3 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin to treat Aedes aegypti larvae for 48 h increased toxicity by more than three times compared to trifluralin alone, while 3 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide had no toxic effect on Aedes aegypti larvae. Treatment of Aedes aegypti larvae with 6 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin for 24 h significantly increased toxicity compared to trifluralin alone. Treatment of Aedes aegypti larvae with 10 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin for 24 h also significantly increased toxicity compared to trifluralin alone. In summary, S-(+)-tebufenozide can significantly enhance the toxicity of trifluralin. When the two act on Aedes aegypti larvae, they produce a synergistic effect in the control of Aedes aegypti larvae.
[0083] Example 3: This case study uses Aedes aegypti larvae as a model to test the effects of S-(+)-tebufenozide and trifluralin on the growth of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. FDL22 Downregulation exists.
[0084] A mixture of 6 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin was applied to 50 second-instar Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae for 2 days. RNA was extracted from surviving larvae using the TransZol Up kit. After 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, concentration determination, and quality assessment, the extracted RNA was used to reverse transcribe cDNA using the HiScript III 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis kit (+gDNA wiper) with 300 ng of RNA as a template. The synthesized cDNA was diluted 10-fold for quantitative real-time PCR. FDL22 Changes in expression levels. The primers and methods used for quantitative real-time PCR were the same as those used in the quantitative real-time PCR assay for interference efficiency in Example 1. The results of quantitative real-time PCR are shown below. Figure 6 See Table 6. Figure 6 S-(+)-tebufenozide and trifluralin were used in combination to inhibit farnesol dehydrogenase. FDL22 The graph shows the results of mRNA expression levels.
[0085] Table 6. Inhibition of S-(+)-acetamiprid and trifluralin mixture application FDL22 mRNA expression level
[0086]
[0087] From Table 6 and Figure 6 It was found that when 6 mg / L S-(+)-tebufenozide and 133.30 mg / L trifluralin were applied together, the concentration of tebufenozide in Aedes aegypti larvae was significantly reduced. FDL22 mRNA expression was downregulated; based on Case 2, dsRNA was used to interfere with Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. FDL22 This enhances the toxicity of trifluralin against Aedes aegypti larvae. It has been demonstrated that Aedes aegypti larvae... FDL22 The mRNA level of trifluralin was negatively correlated with its toxicity. Therefore, the enhanced toxicity of trifluralin against Aedes aegypti larvae in the combined application of S-(+)-tebufenozide and trifluralin in Case Study 3 may also be due to the inhibition of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. FDL22 The expression.
