Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ctenoplusia agnata and its potential application in Plusiinae pest management.
Article in Pest management science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCtenoplusia agnata is a polyphagous pest affecting bean crops and cruciferous vegetables across East Asian countries, including Korea. Its periodic outbreaks cause significant damage to crops. The lack of a genome assembly has limited research on integrated pest management strategies and understanding its phylogenetic relationships with related species.
resultsWe sequenced the genome of a Korean C. agnata using PacBio Revio long-read combined with Pore-C scaffolding. The final assembly (GCA_041146325.1, 406.7 Mb) comprises 70 scaffolds, with the largest 31 scaffolds representing 95.1% of the assembly, corresponding to the expected 31 chromosomes. BUSCO analysis confirmed high completeness with 98.8% gene coverage and 36% GC content. The assembly achieved a scaffold N50 of 13.2 Mb, scaffold L50 of 14, and 28.57% repeat sequence content. A total of 12 726 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 12 635 (99.28%) were functionally annotated. Comparative analysis with Chrysodeixis includens and Trichoplusia ni, two Plusiinae species, revealed that while C. agnata shares the chromosome number and broad synteny with C. includens; phylogenetic analyses place it closer to T. ni, suggesting distinct evolutionary trajectories despite structural conservation. Analysis of five major detoxification enzyme gene families (CYP, CCE, GST, UGT, and ABC) revealed that C. agnata contains fewer or similar detoxification genes compared to both T. ni and C. includens.
conclusionThe genome of C. agnata provides a valuable genetic resource for enhancing our understanding of the Plusiinae evolution and developing effective integrated pest management strategies. © 2025 The Author(s).
