General esterases were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively to see their role in deltamethrin resistance mechanisms of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. Selection with 0.1 g of deltamethrin in each generation induced the moth to decrease susceptibility to the insecticide and to increase esterase activities of the fourth instar larvae. Both characters were highly correlated so that the correlation coefficient (r) between LDSo @g) of deltamethrin and esterase activities (~M/min/pg) was 0.9918 (P=0.0082). Nondenaturing PAGE (6%) separated 17 esterase bands from the whole body extracts of the fourth instar larvae. Deltamethrin-selected populations had fewer esterase bands than had the unselected. Four esterase bands (E3, E4, Ell, and E13) were, however, specific to deltamethrin-selected populations.

Background: Anticholinesterase drug inhibits acetylcholinesterase(AChE), induce accumulation of acetylcholine(ACh) near cholinergic receptors and cholinergic stimulation. This experiment was performed to study the effects of anticholinesterase drugs on gastric motility and the effect of ethanol on anticholinesterase drug-induced motility change. Materials and Methods: After excision of stomach, $2{\times}10mm$ circular muscle strips were made, which were then fixed to the isolated muscle chamber. An isometric tension transducer was used to measure the contraction change of the gastric smooth muscle strips after drug addition. Results: Fenthion, an irreversible anticholinesterase drug, increased ACh induced contraction of gastric smooth muscle strips and PAM, a cholinesterase activator, antagonized this action. Physostigmine, a reversible anticholinesterase drug, also increased the ACh induced contraction. The gastric motility was decreased by PAM. Ethanol, which is known to induce smooth muscle relaxation, inhibited the increase of contraction by fenthion. Conclusion: These results indicate that irreversible and reversible anticholinesterase drugs increase gastric motility and antagonized by cholinesterase activating drugs. And when exposed to both ethanol and anticholinesterase drug, gastric motility was decreased by the smooth muscle relaxation effect by ethanol.

The juvenile hormone(JH) titers and juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) activities were mea¬sured in larval homogenates of the chestnut gall waL,J, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu, parasiting a susceptible and two resistant chestnut ( Cheuk-Pa, and Dan- Tak) varieties by GLC, Galleria wax test and Liquid scintilation counter. JH of the chestnut gall wasp was identified as JH- I. Their juvenile hormone titers were 35,800 GU/g(Cheuk-Pa), 30,900 GU/g (Dan-Tak), and 28,600 GU/g(susceptible variety). The juvenile hormone esterase activities were 1.48 n mole/min/ml(Cheuk-Pa), 1.63 n mole/min/ml(Dan- Tak), and 1.89 n mole/mini ml(susceptible variety). JH titer activity of the chestnut gall wasp parasiting resistant varie¬ties were higher than that from susceptible, whereas their JHE activity was higher in those from susceptible variety than those from resitant varieties. JH titer and JH specific esterase activity was inversely proportional.

Esterase isozymes were extracted from final instar larvae of M. saltuarius treated with selective diets and inhibitors. Twenty esterase isozymes were separated on 12% native-PAGE gel and stained with three different substrates(${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate, ${\beta}$-naphthyl acetate, or ${\alpha}$-naphthyl butyrate). Interestingly, the isozymes of Est7(${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate and ${\alpha}$-naphthyl butyrate) and Est6(${\beta}$-naphthyl acetate) were specifically activated in final instar larvae fed with the bark of Pinus koraiensis. However, we could not find any band from substrate ${\beta}$-naphthyl stearate. The esterase activities of Est3, Est6, and Est7 were inhibited by organophosphate and carbamate insecticides. In addition, The esterase activities of Est4, Est6, and Est7 were also inhibited by eserine. However, inhibition of esterase activities in methoprene, bornyl acetate, linal, cineol, and citral was not observed. However, It is necessary to reconfirm these results in vivo.

Esterase isozymes were investigated from digestive juice of M. saltuarius adults after pesticide treatment. Twelve esterase isozymes were separated on 12% native-PAGE gel and stained with three different substrates(${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate, ${\beta}$-naphthyl acetate, and ${\alpha}$-naphthyl butyrate). Interestingly, the isozyme of Est1(${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate) was strongly inhibited by the carbofuran and methomyl. The Est1 activity was completely inhibited by the chlorpyrifos and partially inhibited by methidation about 70 %. In addition, eserine suppressed esterase isozyme activities of Est1 about 70% and isozyme activities of Est2, Est3, and Est4 were weakly inhibited. ${\alpha}$-pinene did not suppressed esterase isozyme activities but activities of esterases were very weakly inhibited in camphor and bornyl acetate.

This test has been carried out to evaluate the effect of temperature on the growth of the insecticide susceptible strain, URY-O nomal genotype and insecticide resistant strain, O-RT abnormal genotype, and ABURABI nomal genotype. The nymphal periods were not significantly different between URY-O and O-RY strains at $25^{\circ}C$. At $30^{\circ}C$, susceptible strain URY-O could give birth to offsprings almost nomally, while resistant strain O-RY could not produce any offspring for 20 days which results in nymphal death. The numbers of offsprings of strain URY-O and strain ABURABI were not different between $25^{\circ}C\;and\;28^{\circ}C$, but strain O-RY, when it was reared at $28^{\circ}C$, could produce offsprings only 10% of those at $25^{\circ}C$. Body weight of strain URY-O and strain ABURABI were 0.22mg/female and 0.27mg/female, respectively at $28^{\circ}C$, however that of O-RY was only 0.16mg/female, showing considerable difference between normal and abnormal genotype. Substrain O-RY(+) which has high esterase activity showed poor reproduction ability(0.8 progenies per $G_{1}$ individual than substrain O-RY(-) (3.4 progenies per $G_{1}$ individual) which has low esterase activity at $28^{\circ}C$

The experiment was carried out to investigate Insecticide susceptibility of the spiraea aphid (Aphis citricola) in apple orchards In Korea, using dipping method. Although insecticIde susceptibility vaned with local and seasonal populations, the susceptibility to demeLon S-rnethyl and phosphamidons was different from that Lo the other insecticides. The LCso values were 10 ppm for deltamethrin and chloropyrifos, 103 ~ 629 ppm for demeton S-methy1, acephate, phosphamidon, monocrotophos and vamldothion, 12,200 ppm for EPN, and 1,745 ppm for pirimicarb. 'When Insecticide susceptibility was compared between the S-clone selected from a population on the host plant spiraea and the R-clone selected from a population on the apple tree, the resistance ratio as expressed by RIS ratio of $LC_{50}$ was 78 for phosphamidon and 546 for pirimicarb. Esterase zymogram determined by the agar gel electrophoresIs revealed a significant difference between the clones. The activity of the E2, E5, E6 and E7 of the R-clone was higher than that of the S-clone, It is suggesLed that the Increased esterase activity may be involved in the mechanism of insecticide resistance in the spiraea aphid, although the involvement of other factor(s) may not be ruled out.
