Researchers conducted this investigation to determine how effective specific farnesyl derivative compounds would be as environmentally friendly insecticides targeting juvenile hormone production in Plutella xylostella. Farnesyl acetate outperformed other farnesyl derivatives in terms of pest mortality rate and holds potential as an effective pest control agent.
Key Findings
The larval death rate of Plutella xylostella reached its peak value of 64% when exposed to 100 mg/L of farnesyl acetate. The farnesyl acetate concentration required to achieve 50% and 90% mortality rates in Plutella xylostella at 96 hours was determined to be 56.41 mg/L and 272.56 mg/L respectively.
Additionally, farnesyl acetate adversely affected various life stages and reproductive outcomes of Plutella xylostella, impacting development, pupal weight, pupation, adult emergence, female ratio, fecundity, egg hatching rate, and oviposition duration, while also causing developmental deformities in both pupae and adult forms of the pest.
Research shows that the LC50 value of farnesyl acetate exceeds that of traditional insecticides and growth regulators like spinosad and cypermethrin by 4 to 100 times.

Farnesyl acetate is a branched ester with high energy, low volatility and low water solubility, which can be considered as an advanced biofuel. In this work, a heterologous farnesyl acetate synthesis pathway was constructed in Escherichia coli.
Biosynthesis of farnesyl acetate
A synthetic pathway for farnesyl acetate production was engineered in E. coli by reconstructing the mevalonate (MVA) pathway to supply precursors isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Three plasmids were constructed:
· pDG30: Co-expressed AtoB (from E. coli), ERG13, and tHMG1 (from S. cerevisiae) under T7 promoter control.
· pDG31: Co-expressed Idi (from E. coli), ERG8, MVD1, and ERG12 (from S. cerevisiae) under T7 promoter control.
· pDG32: Co-expressed farnesyl diphosphate synthase (IspA) and phosphatidylglycerophosphatase (PgpB) to convert IPP/DMAPP into farnesol, alongside ATF1 (from S. cerevisiae) for acetylation.
These plasmids were co-introduced into E. coli BL21(DE3), generating the engineered strain DG106, which produced 128 ± 10.5 mg/L of farnesyl acetate.
The production yield was improved by overexpressing isopentenyl-diphosphate isomerase (Idi), which is a rate-limiting enzyme for IPP/DMAPP conversion using high-copy plasmid pDG33. E. coli BL21(DE3) transformed with pDG33 and plasmids pDG30 and pDG31 resulted in strain DG107 which produced farnesyl acetate at levels of 201 ± 11.7 mg/L showing enhanced pathway efficiency through Idi overexpression.
