The extensive use of methyl parathion to control cotton pests in certain regions of Texas, Mexico, and Central America has apparently led to the development of resistance to that and other organophosphorus (OP) insecti-cides in field populations of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.)(Adkisson, 1969; Nemec and Adkisson, 1969). This important pest was already highly resistant to organochlorine and carbamate insecticides (Adkisson, 1968) and now the appearance of OP-resistancehas forced the curtailment of cotton production in certain areas and threatens others because economic control no longer can be achieved with the present chemicals (Adkisson, 1969). Preliminary studies with susceptible (S) and OP-resistant (R) strains of tobacco budworms indicated that resistance was related to an increased capacity for detoxification in R insects (Whitten and Bull, 1970). We therefore compared certain mechanisms implicated in the metabolism of insecticides in R and S tobacco budworms and assessed their relative importance in the development of OP-resistance.EXPERIMENTAL Chemicals. Mostof thestudies of metabolism were made with radio-labeled (5 mCi per mmol) GC-6506-sulfone [I; dimethyl p-(methyl-14C-sulfonyl) phenyl phosphate] prepared by the chemical oxidation (Wendeland Bull, 1970) of dimethyl p-(methyl-14C-thio) phenyl phosphate (Allied GC-6506, sup-plied by Allied Chemical Co., New York, NY). Radio-labeled preparations of the principal products of detoxifica-tion, II [methyl p-(methylsulfonyl) phenyl phosphate], III [p-(methylsulfonyl) phenol], and IV [; 3-(p-(methylsulfonyl)-phenyl)-D-glucoside] were also synthesized (Wendel and Bull, 1970; Bull andStokes, 1970) from the 14C-labeled GC-6506 for use as analytical standards. The 14C-labeled aldrin (52 mCi per mmol) and all other chemicals were obtained in the best grade available from different commercial
