- "\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\nChlorantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide
that binds to the insect ryanodine receptor (RyR) and induces an uncontrolled release
of Ca2+, resulting in paralysis and ultimately death of the target insects. Recently,
it was reported that chlorantraniliprole‐resistant diamondback moths, \nPlutella
xylostella Linnaeus, have mutations in their RyR. In this study, we developed two
different chlorantraniliprole‐resistant \nDrosophila melanogaster strain. The resistance
ratio (RR) of the low‐concentration chlorantraniliprole‐treated resistant (Low‐Res)
strain was 2.3, while that of the high‐concentration chlorantraniliprole‐treated
resistant (High‐Res) strain was 21.3. The LC\n50 of the untreated control (Con)
strain was 23.8~25.9 ppm, which was significantly higher than that reported for
the susceptible diamondback moth (0.03~0.51 ppm). The high LC\n50 of the Con may
be because the helix S2 amino acid sequence of \nD. melanogaster RyR (\nDmRyR) is
identical to the I4790M mutation of the chlorantraniliprole‐resistant diamondback
moths, resulting in a lower binding affinity of \nDmRyR for chlorantraniliprole.
Among the tested detoxification enzymes, the activity of esterase was significantly
increased in the two Res strains, but glutathione \nS‐transferases and acetylcholinesterase
were significantly decreased in the two Res strains. The cross‐resistance of the
High‐Res strain to other insecticides with different modes of actions (MoAs) revealed
that the RRs of the neuronal acetylcholine receptor allosteric and competitive modulators
were significantly increased, while those of the Na\n2+ channel modulators were
significantly reduced. Our studies showed that RRs against the same insecticide
vary with the treatment concentration, and that RRs against other insecticides with
different MoAs can be altered."
