Abstract The Mediterranean corn borer (Sesamia nonagrioides, Noctuidae, Lepidoptera) is a major pest of maize in Europe and Africa. Here, we report an assembly of the nuclear and mitochondrial genome of a pool of inbred males and females third instar larvae, based on short- and long-read sequencing. The complete mitochondrial genome is 15,330 bp and contains all expected 13 and 24 protein-coding and RNA genes, respectively. The nuclear assembly is 1,021 Mbp, composed of 2,553 scaffolds and it has an N50 of 1,105 kbp. It is more than twice larger than that of all Noctuidae species sequenced to date, mainly due to a higher repeat content. A total of 17,230 protein-coding genes were predicted, including 15,776 with InterPro domains. We provide detailed annotation of genes involved in sex determination (dsx, IMP, PSI) and of alpha-amylase genes possibly involved in interaction with parasitoid wasps. We found no evidence of recent horizontal transfer of bracovirus genes from parasitoid wasps. These genome assemblies provide a solid molecular basis to study insect genome evolution and to further develop biocontrol strategies against S. nonagrioides

RNA interference (RNAi) is a transforming technology with high potential for practical applications in biology, including specific and safe insect pest control. For developing RNAi-based pest-control products no general recommendations exist and the best strategy needs to be determined for each insect pest separately on a case-by-case basis. In this research, the potential of silencing the genes encoding the subunits of the ecdysone receptor complex, EcR and Ultraspiracle (USP) by RNAi was evaluated in the corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides, using different delivery approaches and targeting different developmental stages. In conjunction with our previous research it is demonstrated that prepupae are sensitive to RNAi triggered by dsRNA injection and that feeding of dsRNA-expressing bacteria throughout S. nonagrioides’ larval life can lead to limited developmental malformations with no potent insecticidal results. Our results, consistent with previous studies, indicated a great fluctuation of exogenous RNAi effectiveness in the Lepidopteran species, suggesting that further factors should be taken into consideration in order to expand this very promising field into the ‘’RNAi-resistant’’ insect species.
