    Recently, the team of Professor Wu Yidong from Nanjing Agricultural University published a titled "Genome mapping coupled with CRISPR gene editing reveals a P450 gene co" in the important international academic journal PLoS Genetics.
    nfers avermectin resistance in the beet armyworm"
    .
    The study constructed the first high-quality chromosome-level reference genome of the beet armyworm , and revealed the beet through multiple methods such as gene map cloning , gene editing, and in vitro functional expression.

    Pest insecticide resistance is one of the global restrictive factors in agricultural production.
    The rapid identification of resistance genes is essential for the monitoring and management of resistant insect populations
    .
    Cytochrome P450 is an important detoxification metabolic enzyme in insects.
    Insects can overexpress one or more P450 detoxification enzymes to produce resistance to insecticides
    .
    Each insect has about 100 P450 genes, so the identification of P450 resistance genes and the analysis of resistance mechanisms are extremely challenging
    .
     
    Spodoptera exigua is a global pest with intermittent outbreaks.
    Due to long-term reliance on spraying pesticides for prevention and control, the pest has developed high levels of resistance to many pesticides including abamectin
    .
    In order to decipher the molecular mechanism of beet armyworm resistance to abamectin, this study first obtained the beet armyworm chromosome-level genome using Illumina and PacBio sequencing technology, and constructed a genetic mapping population to locate the resistance gene on number 17.

    .

      In order to determine the resistance gene, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology was used to knock out the 130 kb CYP9A gene cluster in the beet armyworm resistant strains as a whole and in segments, and the gene cluster was locked through reverse genetic evidence.
    The CYP9A186 gene is causally related to the high-level resistance of beet armyworm to abamectin (Figure 2)
    .
      Further analysis revealed that the beet armyworm resistant strain CYP9A186 carries the F116V mutation in the substrate recognition region SRS1
    .
    In vitro functional expression studies have confirmed that CYP9A186 wild type cannot metabolize abamectin, while CYP9A186 mutant type (F116V) has acquired the ability to detoxify abamectin, thereby making beet armyworm resistant strains resistant to abamectin.

    .

      This study uses a new strategy combining gene editing and genetic mapping to quickly identify the P450 genes that mediate insecticide resistance, and clarify the molecular mechanism of P450 genes that lead to insect resistance through gain of function mutations.

    .
    The research results not only provide an important basis for the monitoring and early warning of metabolic resistance genes of the beet armyworm, the formulation of resistance management strategies, and the research and development of new insecticides, but also a set of replicable solutions for the rapid identification of new insect resistance genes
