The relative contribution of oxidases and esterases to pyrethroid resistance was studied in a YS-FP strain of Helicoverpa armigera from China. The YS-FP strain was derived from a field-collected strain (YS) by 16 generations of selection with a mixture of fenvalerate and phoxim. Compared with the YS strain, the YS-FP strain showed 1850- to >7140-fold resistance to four ester-bonded phenoxybenzyl alcohol pyrethroids (fenvalerate, deltamethrin, cypermethrin and cyhalothrin), >205-fold resistance to a non-ester phenoxybenzyl alcohol pyrethroid (etofenprox) and only 19-fold resistance to an ester-bonded methylated biphenyl alcohol pyrethroid (bifenthrin). The oxidase inhibitor piperonyl butoxide eliminated most the of resistance to fenvalerate, deltamethrin, cypermethrin, cyhalothrin and etofenprox, whereas the esterase inhibitor S,S,S-tributylphosphorothioate had a small synergistic effect for fenvalerate and cyhalothrin only. This suggests that the resistance to these pyrethroids in the YS-FP strain was mainly because of enhanced oxidative detoxification. The monooxygenase activities of the midguts of sixth-instar larvae of the YS-FP strain to substrates p-nitroanisole, ethoxycoumarin and methoxycoumarin were 3.7-, 4.7- and 10-fold, respectively, compared with that of the YS strain. Glutathione S-transferase activity and esterase activity were not significantly altered in the YS-FP strain. This confirms that enhanced oxidative detoxification was a major mechanism contributing to pyrethroid resistance in the YS-FP strain.
