Micromelalopha troglodyta (Graeser) is an important pest ofpoplar in China. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are known to beresponsible for adaptation mechanisms of M. Troglodyta. The activitiesand kinetic constants of glutathione S-transferases in M. Troglodyta werestudied. Significant differences in glutathione S-transferase activity andkinetic characteristics were observed among five instars of M. Troglodytalarvae. Furthermore, the inhibition of glutathione S-transferase activity infive instars by 24 inhibitors was conducted. The results show the inhibi-tion of GST activity of different instars by 24 inhibitors was different.For GST activity in the 1st instar chlorpyrifos, lambda-cyhalothrin,endosulfan, abamectin, fipronil and pyridaben were the best inhibitorstested, and for GST activity in the 2nd instar, tannic acid and quercetinwere the most potent inhibitors tested, and for GST activity in the 3rdinstar, the inhibitory effects of quercetin, chlorpyrifos andlambda-cyhalothrin were the highest, and for GST activity in the 4thinstar, quercetin and lambda-cyhalothrin were the best inhibitors, and theinhibitory effect of pboxim was the highest for GST activity in the 5thinstar. Our results show that glutathione S-transferases in different iustarsare qualitatively different in isozyme composition and thus different insensitivity to inhibitors.
