The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, is one of the most harmful rice crop pest insects. The use of RNAi is a feasible strategy for controlling this pest. In this study, we evaluated the importance of PCE3 in the development and reproduction of male BPH. We found that PCE3 could regulate the development of the male internal genitalia and reduce the oviposition level of the females that mated with males treated with dsRNA targeting the N. lugens PCE3 gene, causing eggs not to hatch. Our findings indicate that PCE3 is an important gene in regulating male fecundity and a promising target for controlling BPH. Nilaparvata lugens proclotting enzymes (NlPCEs) belong to the clip domain serine protease (clip-SP) family, which is a characteristic protease family in arthropods. NlPCE3 was previously reported to regulate egg production and development in female N. lugens, but its role in male N. lugens is unclear. In the present study, qPCR analysis showed that NlPCE3 was expressed in three different tissues (gut, testis and fat body). RNAi revealed that dsNlPCE3 injection made the male vas deferens thinner and reduced the oviposition level of the females that mated with dsNlPCE3-treated males, causing eggs not to hatch. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining showed that NlPCE3 was widely expressed in the male internal genitalia. However, after dsNlPCE3 injection, expression of NlPCE3 was diffuse in the male internal genitalia, whose peripheral cells seemed degraded. Overall, these results indicate that NlPCE3 is important for reproduction in male N. lugens.
