Abstract:Nasonovia ribisnigri, a main pest of salad crops, has developed resistance to various insecticides in southern France, including the carbamate pirimicarb and the cyclodiene endosulfan, two insecticides widely used to control this aphid. Here we have investigated the mechanisms of resistance to these two insecticides by studying cross-resistance, synergism, activity of detoxifying enzymes, and possible modifications of the target proteins. Resistance to pirimicarb was shown to be mainly due to a decreased sensitivity of the target acetylcholinesterase; this modification conferred also, resistance to propoxur but not to methomyl and the two tested organophosphates (acephate and paraoxon). Endosulfan resistance was associated with a moderate level of resistance to dieldrin, and resistance to both insecticides was due, in part, to increased detoxification by glutathione S-transferases (GST). The endosulfan resistant strain displayed the same amino acid at position 302 of the Rdl gene (GABA receptor) as susceptible aphids (e.g. Ala), indicating that the Ala to Ser (or to Gly) mutation observed among dieldrin resistant strains of other insect species was not present.
