Abstract

Out of a strain, resistant to organophosphorous insecticides, a dominant factor has been isolated by repeated backcrossings with a susceptible strain under selection pressure. This factor, calledOP, gives a large resistance to parathion and a much smaller resistance to demeton-S-methyl. Modifiers toOP increase the demeton-S-methyl resistance to a high level. Evidence is given that the resistance to the mentioned insecticides of the well known Leverkusen resistant strain has a similar inheritance.
