The possibility of commercializing the controlled release of chitosan carrier nano formulation was examined with mortalities and population increase rates of Aphis gossypii and Myzus persicae after treatment of 2 α-cypermethrin nano type formulations of different chitosan carrier molecular weight (M.W. 3,000 and 30,000) and 2 etofenprox nano types of chitosan content (70% and 80%). After 14 days of treatment, α-cypermethrin nano formulation showed over 40% mortality against A. gossypii. Therefore, it was confirmed that the insecticide release was controlled through chitosan carrier. Results of the investigation of insecticidal activity of α-cypermethrin nano formulation showed there were no differences between nano types at 4 days after treatment. However, after 14 days, the population increase rate treated with chitosan M.W. 30,000 formulation was -0.037, much lower than that of M.W. 3,000 formulation with 0.231. The result exhibits that chitosan M.W. 30,000 formulation would be a suitable controlled release formulation. On the other hand, etofenprox formulations didn’t show any significant insecticidal effect or persistency difference against both aphid species.

α-cypermethrin은 합성피레스로이드계 살충제로, 진딧물류 해충에 대해 접촉 독 및 소화중독을 일으켜 살충효과를 나타내는 약제이다. 진딧물은 성충, 약 충이 어린잎이나 잎의 뒷면에 떼를 지어 흡즙하여 식물체 잎을 위축, 퇴색하 게 하고 생육저해를 일으킨다. 이러한 진딧물류의 방제를 위해 살포된 살충제 에 의한 환경오염을 최소화하고, 적은 양으로도 최대의 살충효과를 지속적으 로 나타낼 수 있는 서방형제형의 키토산 캐리어화한 나노형 α-cypermethrin을 개발하여 복숭아혹진딧물(Myzus persicae Sϋlzer) 방제 실용화가능성을 검토하 였다. 키토산 캐리어의 분자량과 키토산 함량차이에 따른(Nano M.W. 3,000과 30,000) 두 가지 제형을 가지고 처리 당일부터 처리 후 14일까지의 경과일에 따른 고추의 복숭아혹진딧물의 살충효과와 개체군 증가율비교를 통한 방제효 과를 확인하였다. 처리 후 10일차의 나노타입에 대한 비교결과, 예상과는 다 르게, 3,000제형에서 개체군증가율 0.001로 30,000(개체군증가율 0.346)제형보 다 낮게 나타나 방제효과의 지속성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 무처리구에서 의 개체군증가율(0.235)보다 높게 나타나 나노 30,000제형의 경우 방제효과구 명이 어려워, 나노캐리어 살충제 처리 후 식물체 표면과 복숭아혹진딧물의 충 체표면(구기, 복부, 등판)에서의 부착정도를 확인하기 위해 주사전자현미경을 통해 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 처리 후 시간이 경과할수록 두 시료 모두 나노캐 리어화된 α-cypermethrin의 입자의 부착밀도가 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있어 서방 형제형의 형태가 안정되지 않음을 알 수 있었다

To determine differential gene expression profiles in a cypermethrin-resistant strain (CR) of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella Linnaeus (1758), a subtractive cDNA library was constructed by suppression subtractive hybridization. A total of 1196 expressed sequence tags (EST) were clustered and assembled into 579 contigs (100 multiplets and 479 singletons). About 46% (267) of 579 contigs had the matched BLASTx hits (E ≤ 10-5). Among these, 143 contigs had similarity to proteins with assigned molecular function in the Functional Catalogue database, and most of them (86%) were homologous to the genes from insects, particularly to Lepidoptera (56%). The contigs encoding carboxylesterase and cytochrome P450 known to be involved in the insecticide resistance were found in the library. They were identified as pxest3, pxest4, and CYP9G2 gene by 5' and 3' RACE. Among these, pxest4 was determined to be 2-fold over-transcribed in the CR strain by qrtPCR. Several contigs encoding enzymes including cytochrome oxidase subunit I that are likely involved in the insecticide resistance were also identified from the library. Discovery of the genes specific to cypermethrin resistance should promote further studies on the molecular mechanisms of insecticide resistance in P. xylostella.

The house fly (Musca domestica L.) strains were derived from the Yumenoshima III strain by selecting with cypermethrin and methomyl for 19 and 16 generations, respectively. The resulting strains, cypermethrin resistance strain (Cyp-R19) and methomyl resistance strain (Met-R16), showed high level of resistance by 12906 and 51 times, respectively, comparing with the susceptible SRS strain. The Cyp-R19 strain was resistant to synthetic pyrethroids such as deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, -cyfluthrin, showing > 11000, 1231, 103, 292 times higher values than the SRS strain, respectively. It was also resistant to 3 organophosphates and 2 carbamates such as fenitrothion, profenofos, pyridaphenthion, benfuracarb, methomyl, showing resistance ratios fo 51, 17, 49, 39 and 62 comparing to SRS strain. The Met-R16 strain was resistant to synthetic carbamate benfuracarb, showing 6 times higher value than SRS strain. It was also resistant to 4 organophosphates such as acephate, fenitrothion, profenofos and pyridaphenthion, showing > 40, 103, 19, 60 times higher value. It was also resistant to 5 pyrethroids and a pyrrole such as cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, -cyfluthrin and chlorfenapyr, showing 3030, 249, 4063, 34, 330 and 86 times higher values than the SRS strain. Cyp-R14 strain which was selected for 14 generations by cypermethrin and developed 11014 times higher resistance to the SRS strain was used in the dominance and linkage group analysis. Cypermethrin resistance inheritance was incompletely dominant in house fly as judged by the reciprocal cross between the resistant and susceptible strains. The linkage group analysis for the major factors responsible for this resistance was carried out by themale-backcross method, using susceptible multi-chromosomal marker aabys strain. The major factors for cypermethrin resistance were located on the 1st, the 3rd and the 4th chromosomes, and the effect of the 3rd chromosome was most prominent.

Cypermethrin과 pirimicarb도태 저항성계통 복수아흑진딧물(Myzus persicae Sulzer)에 대한 acephate, cypermethrin, demeton-S-methyl, pirimicarb 상호 혼합시의 연합독작용을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. Cypermethrin 도태 저항성계통에 Cypermethrin+acephate, cypermethrin+demeton-S-methyl, cypermethrin_pirimicarb를 처리하였을 때, 혼합비에 따른 정도의 차이는 있었으나. 독립작용 또는 길항작용을 보였다. Pirimicarb 도태 저항성계통에 pirimicarb+acephate, pirimicarb+cypermethrin을 각각 8:2, 2:8 혼합처리하였을 때 최대의 협동결과를 보였으나, pirimicarb+demeton-S-methyl의 경웨는 혼합비에 관계없이 길항작용을 나타내었다.

Pyrethroid계 살충제인 cypermethrin과 carbamate계 살충제인 pirimicarb를 공시하여 실내 감수성계통 복숭아혹진닷물(Myzus persicae)을 인위적으로 루대도태한 후, 저항성 발달속도와 정도를 조사하고, 이들 저항성 계통의 타살충제에 대한 교차저항성 유무와 그 정도를 검토하였다. 저항성 발달속도는 cypermethrin 20세대 도태계통에서 도태전에 비하여 20.5차 증가하였으나, pirimicarb 20세대 도태계통에서는 3.2배 증가에 그쳐 살충제 종류에 따라 큰 차이를 보였다. Cypermethrin 도태계통은 acephate와 pirimicarb에 대해서 , pirimicarb 도태계통은 acephate와 cypermethrin에 대해서 교차저항성을 나타내었다. 그러나 cypermethrin, pirimicarb 도태계통은 demeton-S-methyl에 대해서 비교우저항성을 나타내었다.
