“…The safety of these plants for human use has led to interest in the potential insecticidal activity of essential oils from the plants ( Pandey and Singh, 2017 ). Essential oil of Artemisia displayed contact, fumigation, and repellent toxicity to adult or larvae of T. castaneum ( Abou-Taleb et al, 2015 ; Hu et al, 2019 ). In this study, contact toxicity of EO-AV was investigated against the larvae of red flour beetles.…”

“…EO-AV contains other complex compounds in addition to eucalyptol. Some of these compounds, such as α-terpineol ( Pandey and Singh, 2017 ; Hu et al, 2019 ) and β-pinene ( Liu et al, 2010 ; Benelli et al, 2018 ), can result in high mortality of insects. The synergistic relationship of complex compounds may be responsible for the high mortality of the larvae of T. castaneum after treatment with EO-AV.…”

Odorant-Binding Proteins Contribute to the Defense of the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum, Against Essential Oil of Artemisia vulgaris

The function of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in insect chemodetection has been extensively studied. However, the role of OBPs in the defense of insects against exogenous toxic substances remains elusive. The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum , a major pest of stored grains, causes serious economic losses for the agricultural grain and food processing industries. Here, biochemical analysis showed that essential oil (EO) from Artemisia vulgaris , a traditional Chinese medicine, has a strong contact killing effect against larvae of the red flour beetle. Furthermore, one OBP gene, TcOBPC11 , was significantly induced after exposure to EO. RNA interference (RNAi) against TcOBPC11 led to higher mortality compared with the controls after EO treatment, suggesting that this OBP gene is associated with defense of the beetle against EO and leads to a decrease in sensitivity to the EO. Tissue expression profiling showed that expression of TcOBPC11 was higher in the fat body, Malpighian tubule, and hemolymph than in other larval tissues, and was mainly expressed in epidermis, fat body, and antennae from the early adult. The developmental expression profile revealed that expression of TcOBPC11 was higher in late larval stages and adult stages than in other developmental stages. These data indicate that TcOBPC11 may be involved in sequestration of exogenous toxicants in the larvae of T. castaneum . Our results provide a theoretical basis for the degradation mechanism of exogenous toxicants and identify potential novel targets for controlling the beetle.

“…Direct toxicity of EOs is a consequence of neurotoxic action through acetylcholine esterase inhibition or interference with receptors of octopamine and GABA neurotransmitters, while indirect toxicity is related to numerous biochemical and physiological targets [ 47 ]. EOs may act as insect growth regulators [ 48 , 49 ], disrupt gut epithelium structure [ 50 ] or inhibit digestive [ 51 ] and detoxification enzymes [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. At the cellular level, essential oils and their components may exert prooxidant effects by changes in electron flow through mitochondrial complexes and increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production which cause damages to macromolecules and apoptosis [ 56 ].…”

The bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) can cause significant losses in production of its primary host common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. To avoid bean protection with environmentally risky chemical insecticides and provide sustainable and safe production of food, new pest management methods based on natural compounds are investigated. In the present study, we evaluated protective potential of the essential oil (EO) from the common thyme Thymus vulgaris L. applied on bean seeds. We assessed residual contact toxicity of thyme EO and its effects on A. obtectus longevity, oviposition and adult emergence. Furthermore, to elucidate the role of oxidative stress in thyme EO toxicity, we estimated the levels of oxidatively damaged proteins and lipids, as well as the level of thiols which have important role for antioxidant capacity. We found that thyme oil significantly reduced adult survival and longevity, induced oxidative damage to lipids and proteins and depleted protein and non-protein thiols in a concentration-dependent manner. Females appeared to be more tolerant to thyme oil treatment than males. Sublethal EO concentrations affected oxidative stress indices, deterred oviposition and strongly inhibited adult emergence. The results suggest that thyme oil has the potential to be used as an ecofriendly insecticide for A. obtectus control.

“…The tree is widely distributed in the drylands of Africa from Mauritania to Nigeria and eastward to Ethiopia, Somalia, and East Africa (Manji et al, 2013). It contains many secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, saponins, steroids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds (Al-Thobaiti and Abu Zeid, 2018;Satpute and Vanmare, 2018;Hu et al, 2019). These multiple chemicals possess different biological activity such as mosquitocidal, larvicidal, and insecticidal properties (Djeghader et al, 2018;Jatau et al, 2018).…”

Botanical pesticides are a new trend for pest management because they are an environmentally safe alternative for synthetic chemicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the insecticidal activity of desert date (Balanites aegyptiaca [L.] Delile) seed oils against the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst) and determine the oil chemical compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Oils were extracted by chloroform, hexane, and ethanol, and they were tested on the pest by the film residue method at doses of 1.131, 0.566, 0.283, and 0.142 mg cm-2 after 12, 24, 36, and 48 h. Results showed that chloroform achieved a 100% mortality rate at 1.131 and 0.566 mg cm-2 after 12 and 36 h exposure, respectively. Meanwhile, the hexane extract caused a similar effect after 24 and 48 h at the same doses, respectively. The chloroform extract scored the lowest median lethal dose (LD50, 0.134 mg cm-2) against the pest after 48 h of exposure. This finding indicated that chloroform extract was the most toxic for T. castaneum compared with the other extracts. The results of the oil analysis revealed that (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, (Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid, and (E)-octadec-6enoic acid were the main components, but the concentration differed from one extract to another. These results suggest that chloroform and hexane extracts have potent insecticidal activity and could be used in grain storage to control pests.
