Mechanisms of insecticide resistance found in insects may include three general categories. Modified behavioral mechanisms can let the insects avoid the exposure to toxic compounds. The second category is physiological mechanisms such as altered penetration, rapid excretion, lower rate transportation, or increased storage of insecticides by insects. The third category relies on biochemical mechanisms including the insensitivity of target sites to insecticides and enhanced detoxification rate by several detoxifying mechanisms. Insecticides metabolism usually results in the formation of more water-soluble and therefore more readily eliminated, and generally less toxic products to the host insects rather than the parent compounds. The representative detoxifying enzymes are general esterases and monooxygenases that catalyze the toxic compounds to be more water-soluble forms and then secondary metabolism is followed by conjugation reactions including those catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). However, a change in the resistant species is not easily determined and the levels of mRNAs do not necessarily predict the levels of the corresponding proteins in a cell. As genomics understands the expression of most of the genes in an organism after being stressed by toxic compounds, proteomics can determine the global protein changes in a cell. In this present review, it is suggested that the environmental proteomic application may be a good approach to understand the biochemical mechanisms of insecticide resistance in insects and to predict metabolomic changes leading to physiological changes of the resistant species.

${LC}_{50}$에 의한 살충제 저항성 사험결과 지역에 따라 pirimicarb가 49~830배 phosphamidon이 31~536배, demeton S-methyl이 5~204배의 약제 저항성이 확인됨으로서 사과에 조팝나무진딧물이 포장에서 방제결과가 없는 난방제해충이 되었음을 알 수 있다. 이와 같이 약제에 따라, 지역에 따라 저항성차가 크게 나타나는 원인을 공시충을 채집한 과수원의 살충제 산포상황을 조사한 결과 저항성이 가장 높았던 예산과 이천-1의 개체군을 채집한 과수원에서는 살충제를 4회 이상산포하였고, 저항성이 가장 낮았던 개체별 esterase 활성을 활성지수별로 분포비율을 비교한 결과 활성지수가 원주는 낮은 곳에, 이천-1과 예산은 높은 곳에 집중적으로 분포하였으며, 효소의 활성지수로써 저항성도를 계산한 결과 원주는 44.5, 이천-1과 예산은 92.0이었고 기타의 개체군들은 약제산포회수가 적어 이 사이에 모두 분포하였음을 알 수 있어 포장에서 약제산포회수가 많을수록 효소의 활성이 높게 나타났고 저항성비도 높았다. 이들중 광주(조팝나무)를 S크론, 과천(사과)을 R크론으로 하여 AChE의 조해제에 대한 감수성을 조사한 결과 pirimicarb는 299.2배, phosphamidon은 186배나 저하되었다. 이로써 약제저항성이 높았던 크론에서 에스테라제의 활성이 높았고, AChE의 감수성이 저하되는 것으로 보아 조팝나무진딧물의 약제저항성기작에는 적오도 두가지 이상의 요인이 작용하고 있음이 확인되었다.

The present status of insecticide resistance of Korean mosquitoes is still unknown. The experiment cited below is a part of our series of resistance tests on Korean mosquitoes. The test was carried out during the summer of 1959 to ascertain the degree of resistance of Culex pipiens to insecticides currently used. Culex pipiens eggs were collected from ditches in Seoul City and reared in laboratory with media consisted of the following : Distrilled water 1.0 liter, Magnesium sulfate (MgSO$_4$.7$H_2O$) 1.0gram , Calcium sulfate (CasO$_4$.2$H_2O$) 0.5gram ; Sodium cholride 0.5 gram. A Sufficient amount of beer yeast was also used as a larvar food. Late third and early fourth instar larvae were selected for testing. The results are summarized in the following. THe LC-50 of Culex pipiens to insecticides were 0.061 ppm in p, p-DDT , 0.045 ppm in ${\gamma}$-BHC and0.029 ppm in malathion. Comparing these with LC-50 doses of Orlando laboratory strain, it can be pointed out that the present resistance of Seoul strain shows about a ten-fold increase in DDt, and a fourfold increase in ${\gamma}$-BHC . The resistance development of the Seoul strain has, however, not arisen so markedly as compared with data observed in other parts of Far Eastern areas received heavy insecticidal operations.

Mosquitoes are globally distributed and important vectors for the transmission of many human diseases. Mosquito control is a difficult task and the cost of preventing mosquito-borne diseases is much lower than that for curing the associated diseases. Thus, chemical control remains the most effective tool for mosquito. Due to the long-term intensive use of insecticides to control mosquito vectors, resistance to most chemical insecticides has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between insecticide resistance and target site mutation of L1014 kdr and G119 ace alleles in 5 species/species group of mosquitoes (Aedes vexans, Ae. albopictus, Anopheles spp., Culex pipiens complex, and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus) obtained from 6 collection sites. For Anopheles spp., the proportion of mosquitoes with mutated alleles in L1014 was 88.4%, homozygous resistant genotypes were observed in 46.7%, and heterozygous resistant genotypes were observed in 41.8%. For the Cx. pipiens complex and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus species, homozygous resistant genotypes were found in 25.9% and 9.8%, respectively. However, target site mutation of L1014 in the Ae. vexans nipponii and Ae. albopictus species was not observed. Anopheles spp., Cx. pipiens complex, and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes were resistant to deltamethrin and chlorpyriphos, whereas Ae. vexans nipponii and Ae. albopictus were clearly susceptible. We also found a correlation between the resistance phenotype and the presence of the L1014 kdr and G119 ace mutations only in the Anopheles spp. population. In this study, we suggest that insecticide resistance poses a growing threat and resistance management must be integrated into all mosquito control programs.

벼멸구의 살충제 저항성 기구를 구명하고자 fenobucarb, carbofuran 및 diazinon으로 벼멸구를 14~18세대 누대 도태하여 얻어진 벼멸구를 대상으로 저항성 기구를 조사하였으며, 얻어진 결과중 acetylcholinesterase(AChE)와 esterase의 활성 변화에 대하여 보고하고자 한다. AChE활성은 fenobucarb선발 계통에서 1.6배 증가하였으나 타 계통에서는 차이가 없었고, 세포내 분포도 mitochondrial fraction에서 70% 이상으로 계통간 차이가 없었다. 반면, AChE감수성은 fenobucarb와 carbofuran선발 계통에서 각각의 공시 살충제에 대하여 12.2배, 5.6배 감소하였으나 diazinon선발 계통에서는 diazoxon에 대하여 1.7배 감소에 그쳤다. Esterase활성은 fenobucarb선발계통에서 5.6~6.8배, carbofuran선발계통에서 6.4~7.8배, diazinon선발계통에서 4.0~4.4배 증가하였다. 벼멸구의 저항성 증가에 다른 요인이 관련됨을 배제할 수 없으나, 본 실험 결과 esterase 활성증가와 AChE감수성 저하라는 두 요인이 상승적으로 작용하여 벼멸구 저항성을 유발하였음을 확인하였다.

Various chemical pesticides are used to control diamondback moths, Plutella xylostella, which are agricultural pests that occur in cruciferous crops worldwide and cause economic losses. However, due to pesticide misuse, resistance to P. xylostella is consistently reported domestically and internationally. Therefore, we aimed to monitor and map regional resistance to devise efficient and economical control methods for P. xylostella in Korea. This study selected eight highly used insecticides among those registered against P. xylostella. P. xylostella were collected from three cities in the Gyeonggi and Yeongnam Provinces to evaluate insecticide resistance. As a result of experiments with populations collected from Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, resistance ratios were 114.88, 54.75, 119.00, and 64.00 times higher than the susceptible population with methoxyfenozide, indoxacarb, cyantraniliprole, and fluxametamide, respectively. The resistance ratios of the Yongin population in Gyeonggi Province were 166.33 times with cyantraniliprole and 195.25 times with fluxametamide higher than the susceptible population. The Pocheon population in Gyeonggi Province showed a resistance ratio 283.23 times higher than methoxyfenozide. As a result of experiments with populations collected from Gimhae and Sangju, Yeongnam Province, the resistance ratios of the Gimhae population were 80.97, 138.00, and 89.50 times higher than the susceptible population with methoxyfenozide, cyantraniliprole, and fluxametamide, respectively. Meanwhile, the resistance ratios of the Sangju population were 85.83, 224.67, and 303.25 times higher than the susceptible population with methoxyfenozide, cyantraniliprole, and fluxametamide, respectively. The Yeongnam Province Tongyeong population showed a resistance ratio 367.28 times higher to methoxyfenozide.

사과의 조팝나무진딧물의 수종 약제에 대한 야외 개체군의 감수성을 조사하였다. 1983년부터 1987년까지 사과원에서 피리미카브외 9약종에 대한 약효시험결과 연도별, 지역별에 따라 현저한 감수성 차이를 보였는데, 서울등 4개 지역에서 사과나무에 발생한 진딧물에 대한 약제감수성을 조사한 결과 지역별로 디메톤에스메칠과 포스파미돈이 차가 크게 있었고, 약제별 {TEX}$LC_{50}${/TEX}을 델타메스린과 크로르피리포스가 10ppm 이하였으며, 디메톤에스메칠, 아세페에트, 포스파미돈, 모노크로토포스, 바미도치온은 103~629ppm이었고, 가장 오래 사용하였던 이피엔과 피리미카브는 1000ppm이상이었다. 또한 약제저항성 정도를 조사하기 위하여 감수성 크론과 저항성 크론을 침지법으로 처리하여 저항성비를 조사한 결과 포스파미돈은 73배, 파리미카브는 546배의 저항성이 유발되었으며, 감수성 크론과 저항성 크론에대한 효소활성을 $\alpha$-NA를 기질로해서 한천겔 전기영동법으로 효소활성을 조사한 결과 감수성 크론에 비하여 저항성 크론은 E-2, E-5, E-6, E-7의 활성이 현저하게 높았다. 따라서 조팝나무진딧물의 살충제에 대한 감수성 저하는 에스테라제의 활성도에 기인하는 것으로 생각되나 다른 원인도 배제할 수는 없다.

Knowledge about the gut bacterial communities associated with insects is essential to understand their roles in the physiology of the host. In the present study, the gut bacterial communities of a laboratory-reared insecticide-susceptible (IS), and a field-collected insecticide-resistant (IR) population of a major rice pest, the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens, were evaluated. The deep-sequencing analysis of the V3 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was performed using Illumina and the sequence data were processed using QIIME. The toxicological bioassays showed that compared with the IS population, IR population exhibited 7.9-, 6.7-, 14.8-, and 18.7-fold resistance to acephate, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and buprofezin, respectively. The analysis of the alpha diversity indicated a higher bacterial diversity and richness associated with the IR population. The dominant phylum in the IS population was Proteobacteria (99.86%), whereas the IR population consisted of Firmicutes (46.06%), followed by Bacteroidetes (30.8%) and Proteobacteria (15.49%). Morganella, Weissella, and Enterococcus were among the genera shared between the two populations and might form the core bacteria associated with N. lugens. The taxonomic-to-phenotypic mapping revealed the presence of ammonia oxidizers, nitrogen fixers, sulfur oxidizers and reducers, xylan degraders, and aromatic hydrocarbon degraders in the metagenome of N. lugens. Interestingly, the IR population was found to be enriched with bacteria involved in detoxification functions. The results obtained in this study provide a basis for future studies elucidating the roles of the gut bacteria in the insecticide resistance-associated symbiotic relationship and on the design of novel strategies for the management of N. lugens.
