Comparative Metabolomics Reveals Metabolic Reprogramming of the Predatory Arma chinensis (Fallou) during Low-Temperature Storage |
| Description |
Arma chinensis (Fallou) is a promising generalist predator capable of controlling a wide range of insect pests; however, a temporal mismatch between mass-rearing supply and pest outbreaks limits its commercial application. Although cold storage is commonly used to extend shelf life, it imposes substantial physiological stress that may compromise insect quality. To clarify the metabolic mechanisms underlying cold adaptation, we conducted comparative metabolomic analyses combined with enzyme activity as-says on A. chinensis adults exposed to a gradual cooling protocol. Despite a decline in survival during cold storage, the insects underwent extensive metabolic reprogram-ming in response to thermal stress. |
