Raw data of the article - The relationship between pigmentations of pupae and adult insecticide resistance of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)

The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera
dorsalis (Hendel) is a destructive pest of crops worldwide. The management
of B. dorsalis is becoming more and more difficult because of emerging
insecticide resistance. Searching for new and effective methods in managing
this pest has become an urgent task. Here, we explored the relationship between
pigmentation and insecticide resistance by conducting studies on five strains
of B. dorsalis (CK, CZ, CB, LC and LX) with various traits of
pigmentation and insecticide resistance. Strain CK was a wild strain with brown
pupae coloration while strain CZ was a beta-cypermethrin-resistant strain
with brown pupae coloration. Strain CB was a pigmentation mutation strain with
white pupae coloration. Strain LC was the female of the pigmentation sex
genetic strain whose pupae coloration was white. Strain LX was the male of the
pigmentation sex genetic strain whose pupae coloration was brown. Efficacy
tests were employed to evaluate the resistance performance of the five strains,
and transcriptome sequencing and gene quantifications were used to explore the
potential genes in both pigmentation and detoxification pathway.
