Abstract
ABSTRACT Panonychus citri is a serious pest of citrus orchards all around the world. In this study, biochemical and resistance inheritance mechanisms of bromopropylate were evaluated on a field population of P. citri. The resistance inheritance of bromopropylate in P. citri has been studied by crossing resistant (As) and susceptible (So) populations, derived from collected populations in northern cities of Iran. The resistance ratios were estimated at 11.45, 3.45, 3.49, 3.72, and 6.16- folds in As, F1, F´1, F2, and F´2 in comparison to the So, respectively. The results of the response showed that resistance was inherited as a bromopropylate incomplete recessive inheritance (D = −0.01 and −0.02) that was detected as polygenic autosomal. The DEM, TPP, and PBO synergism assays in the As population reached 2.27, 2.24, and 1.66- folds, respectively. The in vivo enzyme assays suggested minor involvement of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, esterases, and GSTs in the P. citri population resistance to bromopropylate, with the highest ratio related to esterases.
