Abstract:
[Objectives] To clarify the inheritance of resistance to
avermectin+pyridaben in Tetranychus truncatus Ehara. [Methods] Resistant (RR)and susceptible (SS) strains of Tetranychus truncatus Ehara were crossed
and backcrossed to investigate the genes involved in resistance to
avermectin+pyridaben, their dominance (D)
and cytoplasmic factors involved in resistance. [Results] D values for F1 females from SS♀´RR♂
crosses and RR♀´SS♂ crosses were in the range of 0 < D < 1 (0.625 and 0.802,
respectively), indicating incomplete dominance. The 95% confidence limits of
these two D values overlap, indicating that there is no significant difference
between DSR and DRS. This reveals that the
gene responsible for resistance is located in the autosome. A Chi-square (χ2) goodness-of-fit analysis
indicated that mortality levels in F2 females (BC1SR and
BC1RS) were significantly different (χ2= 16.92, df = 9, P < 0.05) from the expected
values for multiple gene control. [Conclusion] The inheritance of resistance to
abamectin+pyridaben in T. truncatus can easily cause a wide spectrum of resistance that is difficult to reduce.
Consequently, abamectin+pyridaben should be used in rotation with the other
insecticides to reduce selection for resistance to this combination of
insecticides. It’s important to implement a preventive resistance management
strategy and measures to manage resistance to abamectin+pyridaben.
