Biological damage of monocrotaline on the brain and intestinal tissues of Apis mellifera
Monocrotaline (MCT) is a toxic alkaloid present in plants, posing a threat to animals in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about its potential impacts on pollinating insects. Here, we report the effects of of MCT on the brains and intestines of foraging honeybees (Apis mellifera). MCT exposure resulted in a reduction in head weight and swelling of the abdomen in honeybees. Additionally, MCT exposure caused morphological damage to the brain, characterized by decreased antioxidant capacity and increased apoptosis, along with intestinal tissue damage that was accompanied by increased antioxidant capacity and apoptosis. Moreover, MCT altered the core gut microbial community structure in honeybees and increased the expression of antimicrobial peptide (AMP) genes in the midgut. These findings indicate that exposure to MCT activates the immune response in the honeybee gut, while the brain does not exhibit an immune response but instead experiences oxidative stress. This study provides a resource for future research exploring interactions between MCT and other insects, and can help deepen our understanding of MCT's potential impacts in ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology publishes original scientific articles pertaining to the mode of action of plant protection agents such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and similar compounds, including nonlethal pest control agents, biosynthesis of pheromones, hormones, and plant resistance agents. Manuscripts may include a biochemical, physiological, or molecular study for an understanding of comparative toxicology or selective toxicity of both target and nontarget organisms. Particular interest will be given to studies on the molecular biology of pest control, toxicology, and pesticide resistance.
Research Areas Emphasized Include the Biochemistry and Physiology of:
• Comparative toxicity
• Mode of action
• Pathophysiology
• Plant growth regulators
• Resistance
• Other effects of pesticides on both parasites and hosts.
