Uridine diphosphate glucosyltransferases (UGTs) play crucial roles in the insect detoxification system and are associated with pesticide resistance. Our previous transcriptomic analysis of spinosad-susceptible (Ivf03) and resistant (NIL-R)Frankliniella occidentalisrevealed numerous upregulated UGT genes in the NIL-R strain, suggesting their potential contribution to spinosad resistance. To investigate this hypothesis, here we conducted UGT activity assays and spinosad induction experiments, employing RNA interference (RNAi) techniques for gene function validation. We found significantly elevated UGT activity in the NIL-R strain compared to Ivf03, with 5-nitrouracil showing a substantial synergistic effect on the resistant strain. Eighteen UGT genes were identified inF. occidentalis, with gene expansion and duplication observed within families UGT466, 467, and 468. Ten out of the eighteenUGTsexhibited higher expression levels in NIL-R, specificallyFoUGT466B1,FoUGT468A3, andFoUGT468A4consistently being upregulated across nymphs, males, and females. RNAi-based functional validation targeting these three UGT genes led to increased susceptibility to spinosad in a life stage-, sex-, and dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that UGTs are indeed involved in spinosad resistance inF. occidentalis, and the effects are dependent on life stage, sex, and dose. Therefore, sustainable control forF. occidentalisresistance should always consider these differential responses.
