摘要： Simple Summary Insecticide resistance stands as one of the most notable evolutionary phenomena for researchers. Two closely related species pests, Phthorimaea operculella and Phthorimaea absoluta, both feeding on potato crops, have developed distinct resistance mechanisms. In this study, we compared the presence of target-site mutations in P. operculella and P. absoluta in three common insecticide targets, Ace1 (acetylcholinesterase), VGSC (voltage-gated sodium channel), and RDL (GABA-gated chloride channel). Unexpected genetic divergence in target-site mutations was observed between the two species. P. absoluta had three Ace1 mutations (A201S, L231V, and F290V), four VGSC mutations (M918T, L925M, T928I, and L1014F), and one RDL mutation (A301S). On the other hand, P. operculella had Ace1 mutations (F158Y, A201S, and L231V) and only one VGSC mutation (L1014F) at lower frequencies, with no mutations detected in RDL. These findings deepen our understanding of evolutionary dynamics in pest species and offer potential strategies for more precise and sustainable pest control in potatoes.Abstract Potatoes hold the distinction of being the largest non-cereal food crop globally. The application of insecticides has been the most common technology for pest control. The repeated use of synthetic insecticides of the same chemical class and frequent applications have resulted in the emergence of insecticide resistance. Two closely related pests that feed on potato crops are the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella, and the tomato leafminer, Phthorimaea absoluta (syn. Tuta absoluta). Previous studies indicated the existence of insecticide resistance to various classes of insecticides including organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids in field populations of P. operculella and P. absoluta. However, the exact mechanisms of insecticide resistance in P. operculella and to a lesser extent P. absoluta remain still poorly understood. Detecting resistance genotypes is crucial for the prediction and management of insecticide resistance. In this study, we identified multiple genetic mutations related to insecticide resistance in two species of Phthorimaea. An unexpected genetic divergence on target-site mutations was observed between P. operculella and P. absoluta. Three mutations (A201S, L231V, and F290V) in Ace1 (acetylcholinesterase), four mutations (M918T, L925M, T928I, and L1014F) in VGSC (voltage-gated sodium channel), and one mutation (A301S) in RDL (GABA-gated chloride channel) have been detected with varying frequencies in Chinese P. absoluta field populations. In contrast, P. operculella field populations showed three mutations (F158Y, A201S, and L231V) in Ace1, one mutation (L1014F) in VGSC at a lower frequency, and no mutation in RDL. These findings suggest that pyrethroids, organophosphates, and carbamates are likely to be ineffective in controlling P. absoluta, but not P. operculella. These findings contributed to a deeper understanding of the presence of target-site mutations conferring resistance to commonly used (and cheap) classes of insecticides in two closely related potato pests. It is recommended to consider the resistance status of both pests for the implementation of resistance management strategies in potatoes.
