ABSTRACT
The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae is a polyphagous pest with an extraordinary ability to develop acaricide resistance. Here, we characterize the resistance mechanisms in a T. urticae population (VR-BE) collected from a Belgian tomato greenhouse, where the grower was unsuccessful in chemically controlling the mite population resulting in crop loss. Upon arrival in the laboratory, the VR-BE population was established both on bean and tomato plants as hosts. Toxicity bioassays on both populations confirmed that the population was highly multi-resistant, recording resistance to 12 out of 13 compounds tested from various mode of action groups. DNA sequencing revealed the presence of multiple target-site resistance mutations, but these could not explain resistance to all compounds. In addition, striking differences in toxicity for six acaricides were observed between the populations on bean and tomato. The highest difference was recorded for the complex II inhibitors cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen, which were 4.4 and 3.3-fold less toxic for VR-BE mites on tomato versus bean. PBO synergism bioassays suggested increased P450 based detoxification contribute to the host-dependent toxicity. Given the involvement of increased detoxification, we subsequently determined genome-wide gene expression levels of VR-BE on both hosts, in comparison to a reference susceptible population, revealing overexpression of a large set of detoxification genes in VR-BE on both hosts compared to the reference. In addition, a number of mainly detoxification genes with higher expression in VR-BE on tomato compared to bean was identified, including several cytochrome P450s. Together, our work suggests that multi-resistant field populations can accumulate a striking number of target-site resistance mutations. We also show that the host plant can have a profound effect on the P450-associated resistance levels to cyenopyrafen and cyflumetofen.
