Such adaptations may also include their capacity to cope with plant metabolites that herbivores sequester as a defence. In this study, we evaluated the ability of Mexican entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) to resist benzoxazinoids that are sequestered from maize roots by the western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), an important maize pest in America and Europe. From maize felds throughout Mexico, we retrieved 40 EPN isolates belonging to fve diferent species, with a majority identifed as Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. In the laboratory, all nematodes readily infected non-sequestering larvae of the banded cucumber beetle (D. balteata), while infectivity varied strongly for WCR larvae. While some H. bacteriophora isolates seemed negatively afected by benzoxazinoids, most showed to be resistant. Thus, EPN from Mexican maize felds can cope with these plant defence metabolites, but the results also indicate that WCR larvae possess other mechanisms that help to resist EPN. This work contributes to a better understanding of the capacity of herbivore natural enemies to resist plant defence metabolites. Furthermore, it identifes several benzoxazinoid-resistant EPN isolates that may be used to control this important maize pest. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-64945-x | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/223555 | DOI: | 10.1038/s41598-020-64945-x | ISSN: | 2045-2322 |
