BACKGROUNDAsian citrus psyllid,Diaphorina citri, is a notorious pest in the citrus industry because it transmitsCandidatus Liberibacterasiaticus, which causes an uncurable, devastating disease in citrus worldwide.Serratia marcescensis widely distributed in various environments that exhibits toxic effects to many insects. To develop strategies for enhancing the efficiency of pathogen‐induced host mortality, a better understanding of the toxicity mechanism ofSerratia marcescensonDiaphorina citriis critical.RESULTSSerratia marcescensKH‐001 successfully colonizedDiaphorina citrigut by feeding artificial diets, resulting in the damage of cells including nucleus, mitochondria, vesicles, and microvilli. Oral ingestion ofSerratia marcescensKH‐001 strongly induced apoptosis in gut cells by enhancing levels of Cyt c, p53 and caspase‐1 and decreasing levels of inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) and Bax inhibitor‐1 (BI‐1). The expression of dual oxidase (Duox) and nitric oxide synthase (Nos) was up‐regulated bySerratia marcescensKH‐001, which increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels in the gut. Injection of abdomen ofDiaphorina citriwith H2O2accelerated the death of the adults and induced apoptosis in the gut cells by activating Cyt c, p53 and caspase‐1 and suppressing IAP and BI‐1. Pretreatment of infectedDiaphorina citriwith vitamin c (Vc) increased the adult survival and diminished the apoptosis‐inducing effect.CONCLUSIONSThe colonization ofSerratia marcescensKH‐001 in the guts ofDiaphorina citriincreased H2O2accumulation, leading to severe changes and apoptosis in intestinal cells, which enhanced a higher mortality level ofD. citr. This study identifies the underlying virulence mechanism ofSerratia marcescensKH‐001 onDiaphorina citrithat contributes to a widespread application in the integrated management of citrus psyllid. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
