Leaf herbivory and nutrients increase nectar alkaloids.
Correlations between traits may constrain ecological and evolutionary responses to multispecies interactions. Many plants produce defensive compounds in nectar and leaves that could influence interactions with pollinators and herbivores, but the relationship between nectar and leaf defences is entirely unexplored. Correlations between leaf and nectar traits may be mediated by resources and prio...
متن کاملIsolation, cDNA cloning, and structure-based functional characterization of oryctin, a hemolymph protein from the coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros, as a novel serine protease inhibitor.
We isolated oryctin, a 66-residue peptide, from the hemolymph of the coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros and cloned its cDNA. Oryctin is dissimilar to any other known peptides in amino acid sequence, and its function has been unknown. To reveal that function, we determined the solution structure of recombinant (13)C,(15)N-labeled oryctin by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. Oryctin exhib...
متن کاملEfficacy of aggregation pheromone in trapping red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier) and rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros Linn.) from infested coconut palms.
Red palm weevil and Rhinoceros beetle are the major pests inflicting severe damage to coconut palms. Due to ineffectiveness of the current management practices to control the two important pests on coconut, a study was conducted to know the attractiveness of red palm weevil and rhinoceros beetle to aggregation pheromone. Olfactometer studies indicated that the aggregation pheromone of red palm ...
متن کاملThe Oryctes virus: its detection, identification, and implementation in biological control of the coconut palm rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).
In view of the increasing and devastating damage by rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) to coconut palms in the middle of last century, many efforts were made to find an efficient natural control factor against this pest, which could not be controlled by pesticides. The basic procedures of these monitoring programmes are outlined together with the final detection of a virus disease in oil pa...
متن کاملBIOTOXICITY ASSAY OF NEEM (Azadirachta indica) PRODUCTS AND DISTILLERY EFFLUENT ON THE THIRD INSTAR LARVAE OF COCONUT RHINOCEROS BEETLE Oryctes rhinoceros
The coconut Rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) is one of the most damaging insect to coconut palms in India. The experimental study on the growth response of 3 instar larvae of Oryctes rhinoceros infesting the coconut trees. The LC50/96 hours value for the larvae of Oryctes rhinoceros were 29.5% for neem cake powder, 24.5% for neem oil and 14.9% for distillery effluent respectively. In the ...
