Abstract

High carbon dioxide concentrations can effectively control most storage pests. To estimate the toxicity effect of high concentrations of CO 2 , four different concentrations of CO 2 (25% CO 2 , 50% CO 2 , 75% CO 2 , and 95% CO 2 ) were used to treat Tribolium castaneum , and the biochemical (carbohydrate content and gene expression level) and physiological (mortality, pupation, eclosion rate, and weight) features of insects submitted to different treatments with CO 2 were evaluated. The T. castaneum mortality rate was 50% in approximately 2 days when exposed to a treatment with 95% CO 2 . When the CO 2 concentration exceeded 75%, the pupation rate and eclosion rate of T. castaneum seriously declined. Higher than 25% CO 2 concentrations resulted in a lower weight and shrunken body size of T. castaneum . It was further found that different CO 2 concentration treatments all influenced the levels of the three carbohydrate contents in T. castaneum . In addition, according to the detection of trehalose metabolism pathway-related genes, T. castaneum mainly responds to stress factors via high expression of TPS , TRE1-2 , and TRE1-3 . Our results enrich the evaluation of the toxicity effect of CO 2 treatment on grain storage pests, providing a basis for further improving the method of regulating grain storage to control insect pests.
