摘要: Background/Objectives: The utilization of methyl-thiophanate (MT) in vegetables and fruits is widespread due to its broad efficiency, yet its potential impact on silkworm growth remains uncertain. This study aims to examine the effects of MT on the growth of silkworms. Specifically, we assessed the weights of fifth-instar larvae that were fed mulberry leaves saturated with three concentrations (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/mL) of MT, as well as the weights of a control group. Methods: TEM was used to show the status of the silkworm midgut after MT supplementation. Oxidative stress was evaluated in the presence of MT. Furthermore, a transcriptomic sequencing experiment was conducted to investigate the mechanism through which the development of silkworms is induced by MT. Results: Our findings indicate that the supplementation of MT hindered larval growth compared to the control group, suggesting a toxic effect of MT on silkworms. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that MT supplementation induced autophagy in the silkworm midgut. MT was also found to induce oxidative stress in silkworms through the activation of reactive oxygen (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) activities. Subsequent transcriptomic analysis revealed 1265 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to MT. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that these DEGs were associated with antioxidant defense, detoxification processes, lysosome biogenesis, and metabolic pathways. Conclusions: These findings suggest that MT toxicity in silkworm larvae is mediated through the induction of oxidative stress and alterations in metabolism. This study contributes to our understanding of the impacts of MT exposure on silkworms and provides insights into potential pesticides for use in mulberry gardens.
