1 Clarification of mechanisms of insecticide resistance. Reduced sensitivity of AChE to insecticides which is one of the most important resistance factor. AChE cDNA are cloned and their aminoacids sequences were clarified in various insect pests such as Nephotetix cincticeps, Cidex tntaeniomychus, etc. Results indicated that insecticide resistance was caxised not only by the point mutation but also by the post translation By assaying AChE sensitivity to insecticides, combination of insecticides which show negatively con-elated cross resistance were screened. In OP resistant house fly, glutahtion-S-transferase activity is higher in males than in females the male germinating factor is located on the 2^<nd> chromosome, high GST activity in males were caused by ihe amplification of GST gene. Cytochrome P450 gene (CYP9A) which is responsible for permethnn resistance in Spodptera exigua was analyzed.2. Establishment of the integrated pest management based oncharacteristics of insecticide resistant insects. Development of simple monitoring methods for insecticide resistance is one of the most important points for us establish a strategy for insecticide resistance. By assaying enzyme activities (esterase, AChE, GST) of individual insecte which an involved in insecticide resistance were developed (green rice leaf- and plant hoppers, house fly, rice water weevil, etc.). In case we could not apply biochemical monitoring methods, simple bioassay methods were developed against diamondback moth, western flower thrips, etc. Introduction of combination of insecticides which show negatively con-elated cross resistance, insecticide resistant natural enemies, conservation of natural enemies with selective insecticides, nucleopolyhedrovirus, ete. were also effective to reduce the selection pressure by insecticides and can contribute to delay or retard the development of insecticide resistance.
