Abstract Development of novel and specific insect pest management methods is critical for overcoming pesticide resistance and off-target effects. Gene silencing through consumption of double stranded (dsRNA) by insects shows promise in this area. Association of dsRNA with nanoparticles confers protection against nucleases, and can also promote translocation of dsRNA across the midgut epithelial cell membranes, and overall enhance gene knockdown effects. However, many mysteries of how nanoparticles and dsRNA are internalized by cells and subsequently transported across the midgut epithelium remain to be unraveled. In this article, we investigate the role of endocytosis and transcytosis in the uptake and transport of dsRNA and nanoparticles through midgut epithelium cells. Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells and branched amphiphilic peptide nano-capsules (BAPCs) were used as an experimental model. Additionally, analyses of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) were performed to demonstrated that cell viability was minimally impacted by the BAPCs-dsRNA complex. Results suggests that clathrin-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytois are largely responsible for cellular uptake, and once within the midgut, transcytosis is involved in shuttling BAPCs from the lumen to the hemolymph. BAPCs were not found to be toxic to Sf9 cells or generate damaging reactive species once internalized. This opens up further possibilities for BAPCs as a new insect pest management method.

Management Tactics

Insect pest management in certified organic production systems presents considerable challenges for growers. The Federal National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines list acceptable tactics, but their effective use requires a considerable knowledgebase in entomology. The range of tactics allowed by the NOP are viewed as limiting by many growers and there are important elements missing from the list such as pest monitoring and identification. Educational programs must consider utilizing instructional methods and additional means of outreach that introduce new pest management tactics that are individualized, regionally appropriate and emphasize grower adoption and collaboration with local professionals. This review describes the challenges and knowledge burden associated with the listed NOP pest management guidelines, provides an educational model that includes an additional level of professional support for enhanced adoption of novel pest management tactics, or refinement of current practices, with a special emphasis on the importance of insect pest population monitoring.
