The evolution of resistance by an insect to an insecticide may involve several mechanisms. Many studies have shown that insecticide-resistant insects have elevated levels of glutathione S-transferases activity in crude homogenates, which suggests a role for GSTs in resistance. This prompted us to select the GSTs from H.armigera, L.lineolaris and M.sexta due to their economic importance. The 3D ...

BACKGROUND Mosquito strains that exhibit increased tolerance to the chemical class of compounds with a sodium channel modulator mode of action (pyrethroids and pyrethrins) are typically described as "pyrethroid resistant". Resistance to pyrethroids is an increasingly important challenge in the control of mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria or dengue, because one of the main interventions (...

PbOを 含有す る混合 アル カ リの光学 ガ ラスのNa+_??_K+イ オ ン交換 に 及 ぼす ガラス組成 の影 響 をEPMA,光 学顕微鏡 によ り研究 した. Al2O3/Na2O比 が1.0以 下 では, この比 の増大 に とも ないイオ ン交換の速 度が増大す ることが一般 に知 られて いるが, 本研究 のPbOを 多 く含 むガラス の場合には このAl2O3/Na2O比 の効果が ほ とん ど な い ことが わか った. これ はPb2+イ オ ンが Na+_??_K+イ オ ン交換の際にK+イ オ ンの移動 を抑 え るためであろ う. しか しPbOをAl2O3で 入れ換 えてAl2O3/Na2O比 を増 大 させ る とみかけの拡散 係数 は5倍 増大 し, Al2O3/Na2Oの 比の影 響 がみ られた. した が ってPbOを 多 く含 有す ...

Methods are recommended and described for determining Pyrethrin I, Cinerin I, Pyrethrin II, Cinerin II and Jasmolin II with or without combination with synergists such as piperonyl butoxide, in milk, fish and meat, Lat and meat by-products of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, sheep, poultry tissues and eggs using g.l.c. arid t.l,c, It is probably adaptable to cereals, fruit and oilseeds.

In many states, Japanese beetle, Popilliajaponica Newman (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae), is no longer quarantined, and management is left to professional applicators and consumers. Adult management in hybrid tea rose, Rosa L., was compared among biorational insecticides, novel imidacloprid applications (tablet, gel, and root dip), and conventional insecticides. Efficacy of biorational insecticides u...

Several synthetic pesticides and allelochemicals used to treat Triatoma infestans adults by topic application showed some degree of cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (GST) induction. General inducers of detoxication systems such as phenobarbital and 3-methylcholantrene topically applied on T. infestans resulted in no GST induction. Meanwhile, general insecticide synergist such as piperonyl bu...
