Abstract:
A new type of mesoionic insecticide triflumezopyrim is mainly used to control rice planthoppers, leafhoppers, etc. In order to study the uptake and translocation characteristics of this new insecticide in rice (Oryza sativa), a method for the detection of triflumezopyrim in rice, soil, and water was established using liquid-liquid extraction and QuEChERS sample pretreatment combined with liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. The distribution of triflumezopyrim in rice was investigated after hydroponic treatment and foliar treatment at the concentrations of 2.5 and 5 mg·L-1 within the ranges of 24, 48, and 72 h. The results showed that triflumezopyrim could be absorbed by roots and form a systematic distribution in rice by hydroponic treatment; meanwhile, it could also be absorbed by leaves and transported to the bottom leaves under foliar treatment, but no triflumezopyrim was detected in the roots. Thus, triflumezopyrim exhibited high acropetal translocation within the rice plant. This study provides an important scientific basis for the development of an application strategy of triflumezopyrim to control planthoppers and leafhoppers as well as for the residue detection method and safety evaluation.

The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
