| Abstract | The Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch is a serious pest in many cropping systems worldwide including fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants in both closed and open area. T. urticae has developed resistance against different groups of acaricides and no biochemical studies have been conducted to assess the basis/mechanisms of acaricide resistance in T. urticae populations of North India. Therefore, mechanism of acaricide resistance in T. urticae through enzyme assays was investigated. Field population of T. urticae showing resistance to fenazaquin (24.65 fold) was selected with fenazaquin successively for 15 generations to develop fenazaquin resistant strain leading to 6.83 fold increase in the resistance level. There was significant increase in specific activity of the MFO enzymes in resistant strain (534.65 nmol of p-nitrophenol formed min-1 mg-1 of protein) as compared to susceptible strain (166.35 nmol of p-nitrophenol formed min-1 mg-1 of protein). There was 3.21 fold higher MFO activity in resistant strain. Similarly, there was significant increase in GST activity by 1.40 fold and esterase activity by 1.13 and 1.27 fold with α-naphthyl acetate and β-naphthyl acetate as substrate in resistant population. The biochemical experiments conducted in the present study suggested that enhanced metabolic detoxification might be the major mechanism responsible for imparting resistance to fenazaquin in T. urticae. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
