A cDNA clone encoding a cytochrome P450 from H. armigera was used to examine the expression of two homologous cytochrome P450 mRNAs, one of which, CYP6B2, is probably involved in pyrethroid metabolism. The mRNA for CYP6B2 in particular can be induced up to tenfold by peppermint oil and the monoterpene alpha-pinene as well as to a smaller extent by menthol, butylated hydroxyanisole, and piperonyl butoxide. Both mRNAs are present in the major larval tissues, midgut, fat body, and cuticle, although only the mRNAs in the midgut and fat body are inducible by peppermint oil. The induction is a rapid process occurring within a period of 4 h with a similarly rapid rate of decrease in the absence of the inducing compounds. During normal development both mRNAs are absent from eggs and increase during the larval stage, reaching a maximum during mid fifth instar. Both mRNAs then decrease to undetectable levels during pupation and remain undetectable in the adult stage.
