Characterization of a Digestive α-Amylase in the Midgut of Pieris brassicae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)
The current study deals with a digestive α-amylase in the larvae of Pieris brassicae L. through purification, enzymatic characterization, gene expression, and in vivo effect of a specific inhibitor, Acarbose. Although α-amylase activity was the highest in the whole gut homogenate of larvae but compartmentalization of amylolytic activity showed an equal activity in posterior midgut (PM) and ante...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of digestive proteases of Pieris brassicae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) feeding on cruciferous hosts
Pieris brassicae is one of the most serious pests of cultivated crucifers in the world. The present experiment is intended to determine the proteolytic digestion of fifth instar larvae and the effects of four cruciferous hosts to P. brassicae nutritional physiology. Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, Brassica oleracea var. capitata, Brassica oleracea var. italica and Brassica oleracea var. viridi...
متن کاملEffects of a lectin from Polygonum persicaria L. on Pieris brassicae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae)
In the current study, the entomotoxic effects of a lectin, extracted from Polygonum persicaria, were determined on Pieris brassicae larvae. The purified molecule significantly decreased larval survival, weight, and mass protein. Different concentrations of P. persicaria agglutinin (PPA) (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/ml) significantly decreased nutritional indices including: the efficiency of conversion of i...
متن کاملCharacterization of digestive α- and β-glucosidases in the midgut of Plagiodera versicolora Laicharting (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
سوسک برگخوار بید Plagiodera versicolora یکی از آفات مهم درختان جنگلی در دنیا از جمله ایران میباشد. در پژوهش حاضر، فعالیت آلفا و بتا- گلوکوزیداز در معده میانی حشره کاملP. versicolora بررسی شد. نتایج نشان داد که فعالیت آلفا- گلوکوزیداز بیشتر از بتا-گلوکوزیداز بود. pH بهینه برای فعالیت آلفا و بتا- گلوکوزیداز بهترتیب 6 و 9 بهدست آمد. همچنین دمای بهینه فعالیت این دو آنزیم بهترتیب 30 و 25 درجه...
متن کاملcharacterization of digestive α-amylase in the midgut of willow leaf beetle plagiodera versicolora (coleoptera: chrysomelidae)
willow leaf beetle, plagiodera versicolora is an important pest of willow trees that feeds on the leaves both as larvae and as adults. -amylases (ec 3.2.1.1) are the major insect digestive enzymes that catalyze the endohydrolysis of long -1,4-glucan chains such as starch and glycogen. in the current study, -amylase activity was studied in the midgut of larvae and adults of p. versicolora. am...
