Abstract

The massive and repetitive application of synthetic insecticides for the management of cotton pests results in the accumulation of resistance in Aphis gossypii Glover, a destructive pest worldwide. New chemistries are needed for pest management. Afidopyropen exhibits high efficacy against piercing-sucking pests and has been applied as a complementary alternative insecticide against aphids. This study was conducted to investigate the lethal and sublethal effects of afidopyropen on the life parameters and physiological responses of A. gossypii. Detoxifying enzyme activities and expression levels of P450 genes were compared after exposure to three generations of afidopyropen. Bioassay results indicate that afidopyropen possessed the highest toxicity, with a LC50 value of 0.30 mg/L. Sublethal concentrations (LC5 and LC10) caused adverse impacts on the F0 generation, reducing adult longevity and fecundity. A high concentration (LC10) also caused adverse effects on the F1 generation, while a low concentration (LC5) stimulated the fecundity. After continuous treatments with afidopyropen, the susceptibility decreased. GSTs and P450 were induced through sublethal concentrations; moreover, their activities in the F3 generation were higher than that in the F0 generation. Furthermore, the expression levels of 12 P450 genes in the F3 generation were higher than those in F0 generation. In conclusion, afidopyropen has excellent acute toxicity and continuous control effects on A. gossypii. GSTs and P450 may play important roles in the resistance of A. gossypii to afidopyropen.

The sublethal effects of pesticides on beneficial arthropods.

Nicolas Desneux, Axel Decourtye, Jean-Marie Delpuech (2007)

Traditionally, measurement of the acute toxicity of pesticides to beneficial arthropods has relied largely on the determination of an acute median lethal dose or concentration. However, the estimated lethal dose during acute toxicity tests may only be a partial measure of the deleterious effects. In addition to direct mortality induced by pesticides, their sublethal effects on arthropod physiology and behavior must be considered for a complete analysis of their impact. An increasing number of studies and methods related to the identification and characterization of these effects have been published in the past 15 years. Review of sublethal effects reported in published literature, taking into account recent data, has revealed new insights into the sublethal effects of pesticides including effects on learning performance, behavior, and neurophysiology. We characterize the different types of sublethal effects on beneficial arthropods, focusing mainly on honey bees and natural enemies, and we describe the methods used in these studies. Finally, we discuss the potential for developing experimental approaches that take into account these sublethal effects in integrated pest management and the possibility of integrating their evaluation in pesticide registration procedures.

Insect P450 enzymes.

René Feyereisen (1999)

The P450 enzymes (mixed function oxidases, cytochrome P450 monooxygenases), a diverse class of enzymes found in virtually all insect tissues, fulfill many important tasks, from the synthesis and degradation of ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones to the metabolism of foreign chemicals of natural or synthetic origin. This diversity in function is achieved by a diversity in structure, as insect genomes probably carry about 100 P450 genes, sometimes arranged in clusters, and each coding for a different P450 enzyme. Both microsomal and mitochondrial P450s are present in insects and are best studied by heterologous expression of their cDNA and reconstitution of purified enzymes. P450 genes are under complex regulation, with induction playing a central role in the adaptation to plant chemicals and regulatory mutations playing a central role in insecticide resistance. Polymorphisms in induction or constitutive expression allow insects to scan their P450 gene repertoire for the appropriate response to chemical insults, and these evolutionary pressures in turn maintain P450 diversity.
