Resistance Selection of Tetranychus cinnabarinus to Fenpropathrin and Genetic Analysis

The resistant inheritance mode of Tetranychus cinnabarinus to fenpropathrin were studied based on the resistance selection in laboratory. After 40 generations selection, T. cinnabarinus developed 68.5-fold resistance to fenpropathrin.The methods of cross and back-cross between resistant (R) and sensitive (S) strains were used for exploring the inheritance mode of the resistance of this mite to fenpropathrin. The log (Lc)-p equation of F1 got from obverse (SR) and reverse (RS)crosses was intermediate between S and R and inclined to S, the dominant indices DSR and DRS were -0.83 and -0.29,respectively, which indicated that the resistance is controlled by the incompletely recessive gene; the 95% confidence limit of this two dominant indices do not superpose showing DSR and DRS have significant difference and the maternal or external karyon effect may be existed in resistance inheritance; the back-cross results of heterozygote F1 with its parents suggested that the separation of progenies F2(SR()×S()and RS()×R())was cosistent with Mendel's single gene inheritance model.
