Plutella xylostellahas evolved resistance toBacillus thuringiensisCry1Ac toxin over a long evolutionary period. Enhanced immune response is an important factor in insect resistance to a variety of insecticides, and whether phenoloxidase (PO), an immune protein, is involved in resistance to Cry1Ac toxin inP. xylostellaremains unclear. Here, spatial and temporal expression patterns showed that prophenoloxidase (PxPPO1andPxPPO2) in the Cry1S1000-resistant strain was more highly expressed in eggs, 4th instar, head, and hemolymph than those in G88-susceptible strain. The results of PO activity analysis showed that after treatment with Cry1Ac toxin PO activity was about 3 times higher than that before treatment. Furthermore, knockout ofPxPPO1andPxPPO2significantly increased the susceptibility to Cry1Ac toxin. These findings were further supported by the knockdown ofClip-SPH2, a negative regulator of PO, which resulted in increasedPxPPO1andPxPPO2expression and Cry1Ac susceptibility in the Cry1S1000-resistant strain. Finally, the synergistic effect of quercetin showed that larval survival decreased from 100 % to <20 % compared to the control group. This study will provide a theoretical basis for the analysis of immune-related genes (PO) genes involved in the resistance mechanism and pest control ofP. xylostella.
