烟粉虱与昆虫病原真菌互作机制及绿色防控研究进展

Interaction mechanism between whiteflies and entomop athogenic fungi, and green control: A review

  • 摘要: 烟粉虱是全球重要的入侵性刺吸式口器害虫,具有寄主范围广、繁殖速度快、抗药性发展迅速及传播多种植物病毒能力强等特点,已对农业生产和生态安全造成严重威胁。昆虫病原真菌因环境友好、不易诱导抗性及与综合防治措施兼容性好,已成为烟粉虱绿色防控的重要生物资源。但在实际应用中,烟粉虱较强的免疫防御能力明显影响了真菌的侵染效率和田间防效,其体壁屏障、体液免疫、细胞免疫、活性氧及酚氧化酶系统等共同构成了较为完整的抗真菌防御体系。近年来,随着多组学技术和RNA干扰等研究的发展,推动了烟粉虱—昆虫病原真菌互作的机制研究。已有研究表明,烟粉虱在被真菌侵染后可启动病原识别、信号传递、氧化应激调控和黑化反应等多种防御过程。miRNA作为重要的转录后调控因子,在宿主抗真菌免疫、代谢调节和胁迫应答中发挥重要作用,已成为解析宿主—昆虫病原真菌互作机制的重要切入点;同时,植物介导的小RNA递送、工程化昆虫病原真菌表达小RNA以及RNAi—生防菌协同增效等新技术的发展,也为烟粉虱绿色精准防控提供了新思路;此外,纳米载体、脂质体、纳米黏土及生物基载体等递送和制剂化技术的发展,有望提高dsRNA/miRNA在叶面环境中的稳定性、虫体摄取效率及与昆虫病原真菌的协同增效作用。然而,RNA生物农药目前仍处于从实验室研究向田间应用和产品化转化的关键阶段,其商业化推广仍面临靶标筛选、递送效率、生产成本、田间稳定性、生态安全评价和抗性风险管理等多重挑战。文章围绕烟粉虱与昆虫病原真菌的互作机制,对昆虫病原真菌防治烟粉虱的研究进展、烟粉虱对昆虫病原真菌的防御机制、miRNA在烟粉虱抗真菌免疫中的调控作用以及基于RNAi和生物递送的烟粉虱绿色防控新策略进行了综述,并对当前研究中存在的主要问题和今后的发展方向进行了分析与展望。指出现有研究虽然取得了一定进展,但仍存在关键靶标及其作用机制不够清晰、小RNA递送效率和稳定性较差、工程菌安全性及田间应用评价仍显不足等问题。提出未来的研究应在明确关键靶标和作用机制的基础上,进一步加强小RNA稳定递送、真菌制剂优化、田间适应性评价、生态安全评估和抗性风险管理,推动相关技术由机制研究向应用转化延伸,将分子调控、生物防治和制剂工程有机融合,突破单一防控手段的局限,为烟粉虱绿色防控技术创新和可持续治理提供更坚实的理论依据与技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is a globally important invasive agricultural pest that threatens crop production and ecological security because of its broad host range, high reproductive capacity, rapid evolution of insecticide resistance, and ability to transmit numerous plant viruses. Entomopathogenic fungi are considered valuable resources for the green management of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius because they are environmentally safe, have a low risk of resistance development, and are compatible with integrated pest management programs. In actual application, the strong immune defense ability of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius greatly affected the infection efficiency of fungi and the field efficacy. The cuticular barrier, humoral and cellular immune responses, reactive oxygen species metabolism, and the phenoloxidase system of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius worked together to form a complete defense network against fungi. In recent years, with the development of multi-omics technologies and RNA interference researches, the mechanism of the interaction between Bemisia tabaci Gennadius and insect pathogenic fungi has been further studied. Studies indicated that fungal infection could trigger a series of host defense responses involving pathogen recognition, signal transduction, antioxidant regulation, and melanization. miRNA has emerged as important post-transcriptional regulator in antifungal immunity, metabolic adjustment, and stress responses of host, providing a useful entry point for understanding host-entomopathogenic fungi interactions. Concurrently, novel technologies, encompassing plant-mediated small RNA delivery, genetically modified entomopathogenic fungi that expressed small RNA, and RNAi-based synergistic approaches in conjunction with fungal biocontrol, have unveiled fresh prospects for the environmentally friendly and precise management of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius. Meanwhile, the development of delivery and formulation technologies such as nanocarriers, liposomes, nano-clay, and biobased carriers was expected to enhance the stability of dsRNA/miRNA in the leaf surface environment, the efficiency of insect uptake, and the synergistic effect with entomopathogenic fungi. However, RNA-based biopesticides are currently still in the critical stage of transitioning from laboratory research to field application and productization. Their commercial promotion still faces multiple challenges such as target selection, delivery efficiency, production costs, field stability, ecological safety assessment, and resistance risk management. The article focused on the interaction mechanism between Bemisia tabaci Gennadius and entomopathogenic fungi, and reviewed the research progress in the control of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius using entomopathogenic fungi, the defense mechanisms of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius against entomopathogenic fungi, the regulatory role of miRNA in the antifungal immunity of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, as well as new green control strategies for Bemisia tabaci Gennadius based on RNAi and biological delivery. It also analyzed and forecasted the main problems existing in current researches and the future development directions. Although the existing researches have achieved certain progress, there are still issues such as unclear key targets and their mechanisms, poor efficiency and stability of small RNA delivery, insufficient safety and field application evaluation of engineered bacteria. Future researches should focus on clarifying key targets and their mechanisms, further strengthening stable delivery of small RNA, optimization of fungal preparations, field adaptability evaluation, ecological safety assessment and resistance risk management. This would promote the transformation of related technologies from mechanism research to application, integrate molecular regulation, biological control and preparation engineering, break through the limitations of single control method, and provide more solid theoretical basis and technical support for the innovation of green control technology and sustainable control of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius.
