Abstract:
[Objectives]  To investigate the effects of bifenthrin (BIF) and indoxacarb (IND) on the midgut cell structure and hemolymph detoxification enzyme of Ectropis obliqua Prout, a pest of tea plantations. [Methods]  The tail immersion method was used to expose 5th instar larvae of E. obliqua to the median lethal concentration (LC50) of bifenthrin and indoxacarb and subsequent changes in structure in midgut cells were observed with transmission electron microscopy. The activities of detoxification enzymes in hemolymph, including glutathione-S-transferase (GSTs), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carboxylesterase (CarE), were also quatified. [Results]  The LC50s of BIF and IND for 5th instar E. obliqua larvae were 5.884 mg.L-1 and 0.268 mg.L-1, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that BIF and IND induced disintegration of the microvilli in columnar cells, which became scattered in the intestine. In addition, intracellular organelles were transferred to the top cytomembrane and became obviously deformed. BIF induced an obvious increase in AchE and CarE activity but no significant change in GSTs activity, whereas IND significantly inhibited GSTs, AchE and CarE activity in hemolymph. [Conclusion]  Bifenthrin and indoxacarb damaged the structure of midgut columnar cells in E. oblique by destroying the microvilli and disrupting organelle function. In addition, the detoxification of bifenthrin in hemolymph is related to esterase (AChE and CarE), but not transferase (GSTs) activity, whereas the detoxification of indoxacarb is related to both esterase (AChE and CarE) and transferase (GSTs) activity.
