Rational control of arthropod pests is important for animal and human health as well as biodiversity preservation. As an alternative to synthetic chemical pesticides, natural repellents represent an ecological method of pest control. Through an exceptional gene library screening in Mesobuthus martensii scorpions, we here uncover a transient receptor potential ion channel as the chemosensory sensor for plant-derived repellents. Its ortholog ion channel in Drosophila melanogaster also acts as a molecular receptor of natural repellents and mediates avoidance behavior. This work thus identifies a molecular basis for arthropod chemosensing and should help update the ecological strategies for pest control while preserving biodiversity. Arthropods maintain ecosystem balance while also contributing to the spread of disease. Plant-derived natural repellents represent an ecological method of pest control, but their direct molecular targets in arthropods remain to be further elucidated. Occupying a critical phylogenetic niche in arthropod evolution, scorpions retain an ancestral genetic profile. Here, using a behavior-guided screening of the Mesobuthus martensii genome, we identified a scorpion transient receptor potential (sTRP1) channel that senses Cymbopogon-derived natural repellents, while remaining insensitive to the synthetic chemical pesticide DEET. Scrutinizing orthologs of sTRP1 in Drosophila melanogaster, we further demonstrated dTRPγ ion channel as a chemosensory receptor of natural repellents to mediate avoidance behavior. This study sheds light on arthropod molecular targets of natural repellents, exemplifying the arthropod–plant adaptation. It should also help the rational design of insect control strategy and in conserving biodiversity.
