• Abstract Glutathione S -transferase (GSTs) are members of multifunction enzymes in organisms and mostly known for their roles in insecticide resistance by conjugation. Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a voracious agricultural pest widely distributed in the world with high resistance to various insecticides. The function of GSTs in the delta group of S. litura is still lacking. Significantly up-regulation of SlGSTd1 was reported in four pyrethroids-resistant populations and a chlorpyrifos-selected population. To further explore its role in pyrethroids and organophosphates resistance, the metabolism and peroxidase activity of SlGSTD1 were studied by heterologous expression, RNAi, and disk diffusion assay. The results showed that K m and V max for 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) conjugating activity of SlGSTD1were 1.68 ± 0.11 mmol L −1 and 76.0 ± 2.7 nmol mg −1  min −1 , respectively. Cyhalothrin, beta-cypermethrin, and chlorpyrifos had an obvious inhibitory effect on SlGSTD1 activity, especially for fenvalerate, when using CDNB as substrate. Fenvalerate and cyhalothrin can be metabolized by SlGSTD1 in E. coli and in vitro. Also, silencing of SlGSTd1 significantly increased the toxicity of fenvalerate and cyhalothrin, but had no significant effect on the mortality of larvae treated by beta-cypermethrin or chlorpyrifos. SlGSTD1 possesses peroxidase activity using cumene hydroperoxide as a stress inducer. The comprehensive results indicate that SlGSTD1 is involved in fenvalerate and cyhalothrin resistance of S. litura by detoxication and antioxidant capacity.
