Fig. 1From: Ethyl formate and phosphine fumigations on the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae and their biochemical responsesEnzyme assays in the two different developmental stages of T. urticae (nymphs and adults) after ethyl formate (EF) and phosphine (PH3) treatment, respectively. COX: cytochrome c oxidase; AChE: acetylcholinesterase; CE: carboxylesterase; GST: glutathione-S-transferase. The enzyme activities were expressed as μmol/mg min of the mite. Different letters on the bars indicate statistical differences between phosphine-treated samples and the control (p < 0.05). Treated concentrations were equivalent to LC10 (4.32 mg/L for EF; 0.042 mg/L for PH3) and LC50 (5.84 mg/L for EF; 0.059 mg/L for PH3) valuesBack to article page
