Abstract
Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) is a devastating newly emerged rice reovirus in Eastern and Southeastern Asia transmitted by a long-distance migratory pest, the white-backed planthopper (WBPH). We previously showed that SRBSDV infection decreased the cold tolerance but improved the heat tolerance of its vector, WBPH. Comparative metabolomic analysis was used to explore the potential mechanisms underlying these changes in temperature stress response. Fourth-generation WBPH nymphs were treated with SRBSDV and/or extreme temperature stress and were analyzed using gas chromatography-time of flight-mass spectrometry. A total of 605 distinguishable peaks were identified and 165, 207, and 202 differentially accumulated metabolites were identified in WBPH after virus infection, cold, or heat stress, respectively. The nucleic acids and fatty acids were the major categories of metabolites regulated by SRBSDV infection, whereas temperature stress regulated tricarboxylic acid cycle compounds, sugars, and polyols. For the WBPH samples infected with SRBSDV and subjected to temperature stress, amino acids, sugars, and polyols were the most significant regulated metabolites. The metabolomics study suggests that SRBSDV may influence the extreme temperature tolerance of WBPH by regulating the accumulation of amino acids, sugars, and polyols in the insect body.
Highlights
Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) is a newly emerged rice fjivirus species that is efficiently transmitted by the white-backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera), a long-distance migratory pest, in a persistent, circulative, and propagative manner [1,2]
Global Metabolomics Changes in S. furciferainduced by SRBSDV Infection and/or Temperature Stress
A previous study by our group revealed that SRBSDV infection could decrease the cold tolerance but improve the heat tolerance of its vector WBPH [17]
Summary
Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV) is a newly emerged rice fjivirus species (familyReoviridae) that is efficiently transmitted by the white-backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera), a long-distance migratory pest, in a persistent, circulative, and propagative manner [1,2]. Populations of WBPH overwinter in Vietnam and Southern China in the Hainan and Yunnan provinces. In spring, these populations migrate northward over 1000 km via the southwest monsoon to Northern China, Japan, and Korea, before propagating and returning to their overwintering regions in late August when the monsoon direction reverses. These populations migrate northward over 1000 km via the southwest monsoon to Northern China, Japan, and Korea, before propagating and returning to their overwintering regions in late August when the monsoon direction reverses The susceptibility to both cold and hot climates results in the long-distance migratory behavior of WBPH [2,3]
