Functional analysis of glutaredoxin 3 in regulating male reproduction of oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta
摘要
Abstract
To investigate the potential role of glutaredoxin 3(Grx3)in the male reproduction of oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta,a major global fruit-boring pest,the expression of the GmGrx3 gene was analyzed using real-time quantitative PCR in male accessory glands across different adult ages(newly emerged,1,2,3,and 4 days old)and different mating frequencies(1-4 matings).RNA interference(RNAi)and physiological/biochemical assays were further employed to assess the impact of GmGrx3 knockdown on male reproductive performance.The GmGrx3 gene was successfully cloned and charac-terized,encoding a protein with typical glutaredoxin structural domain,catalytic motifs,and active sites.Its expression peaked in 2-day-old male accessory glands,significantly higher than at other ages,but showed no significant variation across mating frequencies.Following RNAi-mediated knockdown of GmGrx3,males exhibited a significant reduction in female oviposition and egg hatching rate after mating.Additionally,levels of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde in spermatophores were signifi-cantly elevated,while eupyrene sperm viability was markedly reduced,indicating substantial oxidative damage.These data demonstrate that GmGrx3 plays a crucial role in protecting eupyrene sperm from oxidative stress within the spermatophore,thereby contributing to male fertility in G.molesta.关键词
