Effects of multigenerational imidacloprid and thiamethoxam stress on metabolism and physiology of Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

ABSTRACT: The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), a primary pest of soybean, poses a severe threat to soybean production. In this study, the 4th instar nymphs were exposed to the LC50 and LC30 of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam from F0 to F4 generations to evaluate the activities of peroxidase, pyruvate kinase, and trehalase using microassay. We found that peroxidase and pyruvate kinase activities in soybean aphids increased rapidly, first to peak and then decreased slowly generation by generation under imidacloprid and thiamethoxam stress. In contrast, the trehalase activity was significantly decreased in F1 to F5 generations when treated with the LC50 and LC30 and imidacloprid and thiamethoxam compared to control. In addition, the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)
