The HipPiE project studies the relationship between the rice weevil and its endosymbiotic bacterium, focusing on how this interaction affects the weevil's development and fitness. It aims to explore new pest management strategies by disrupting this symbiotic relationship.
The rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae is a pest insect which can cause major damages to cereal crops worldwide. S. oryzae hosts an endosymbiont, the intracellular gram-negative bacterium Sodalis pierantonius, which produces amino acids necessary for the host’s cuticle thickening.
This biological interaction, called nutritional endosymbiosis, generally increases the weevil’s fitness, for example as a thicker cuticle protects the host against desiccation.
Consistently, the bacterial load in S. oryzae…
