Conditional Expression Systems for Drosophila suzukii Pest Control

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Drosophila suzukii Management

Abstract

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly pest control method involving sterilization of mass reared insects and their release into the field to suppress insect populations. It has been a valuable tool for insect pest management for several decades. Besides the classical genetic approaches in use, transgenic systems have been established that have or could be transferred to the agricultural pest species Drosophila suzukii to improve the efficiency of population suppression such as through the production and release of only male flies. For male-only strains, conditional gene expression systems are required to inhibit female lethality due to expression of a lethal gene. Practically, such a strain with an “off-system” can be reared in a bisexual way in the mass rearing facility with food supplement and create male-only populations for field release by activating female lethality through removal of the supplement. In this chapter, we discuss conditional expression systems that have been developed in the past and their potential for D. suzukii control. Methods include the Tet-Off and Tet-On, Erythromycin-Off, Biotin-On, Vanillic acid regulated, Phloretin-Off, Bile acid-Off, and the Quinic acid systems for expression control. In addition, systems that work on stimuli based on light and temperature are discussed.
