Basic Information
Zabrotes subfasciatus
American bean beetle, Mexican Bean Weevil, Mexican bean weevil
Zabrotes subfasciatus, the Mexican bean weevil, is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Africa, North America, South America, Southern Asia, and Europe. 1833), commonly known as the Mexican bean weevil, is one of the main pests of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that affect seeds during storage (Morales et al., 2018). Weevils lay the eggs on the seed coat and then larvae feed and grow inside, which results in serious affectations including hollow grains with reduced nutritional quality and loss of viability. The economic impact caused by this insect pest has been reported to reach up to 35% production loss. Several chemical control methods have been effectively tested against bruchids; however, the use of toxic pesticides in a product that is about to be consumed represents a high risk, both for humans and the environment, which has evidenced the need for viable strategies to control the bean weevil through less harmful options that improve food safety and are compatible with sustainable production systems. Taking into consideration that the high fecundity of the Mexican Bean Weevil is attributed to standard room temperature conditions, a potential solution is to adjust the temperature in the storage rooms where infestation has occurred. By lowering the temperature to colder degrees, the egg mortality rate is deterred significantly, and the preservation of the crop is prolonged due to the colder conditions.

PRJNA980084 SRX20709657 SRP444449 insect RNA-Seq of Zabrotes subfasciatus: larva Total RNA was extracted using the innuPrep DNA/RNA Mini kit (Analytik Jena, Jena, Germany) following the manufacturer's instructions. Genomic DNA contamination was removed by DNAse treatment (TURBO DNase, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CAL, USA) for 30 min at 37 C. Total RNA samples were further purified by using the RNeasy MinElute Clean up Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) following the manufacturers protocol, except for elution to 20 l volume. The integrity and quality of the RNA samples were determined using the RNA 6000 Nano LabChip kit on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (both Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CAL, USA) according to the manufacturers instructions. RNA-Seq was outsourced to the Max Planck Genome center (Cologne, Germany). There, poly(A)+ enriched RNA was fragmented to an average of 300-350 nucleotides and a TruSeq compatible, directional library was prepared for each sample. Libraries were tagged using dual indexing and were multiplexed on the same sequencing lane. Sequencing was carried out on a HiSeq3000 sequencing platform (Illumina, CA, USA) using paired-end (2 x 150 bp) reads. wild type individual {'tissue': 'whole insect', 'isolate': 'wild type individual', 'geo_loc_name': 'Germany', 'biosamplemodel': 'Invertebrate', 'collection_date': '2017-09-15', 'isolation_source': 'laboratory culture'} |
