Dietary plant phenolic improves survival of bacterial infection in Manduca sexta caterpillars.
Plant phenolics are generally thought to play significant roles in plant defense against herbivores and pathogens. Many plant taxa, including Solanaceae, are rich in phenolic compounds and some insect herbivores have been shown to acquire phenolics from their hosts to use them as protection against their natural enemies. Here we demonstrate that larvae of an insect specialist on Solanaceae, the...
متن کاملCharacterizationofthegut bacterial community inManduca sexta and e¡ectofantibiotics on bacterial diversityand nematode reproduction
The tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, is a model lepidopteran insect used to study the pathogenic and mutualistic phases of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and their bacterial symbionts. While intestinal microbial communities could potentially compete with the EPN and its bacterial partner for nutrient resources of the insect, the microbial gut community had not been characterized previously. ...
متن کاملCompatible bacterial mixture, tolerant to desiccation, improves maize plant growth
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) increase plant growth and crop productivity. The inoculation of plants with a bacterial mixture (consortium) apparently provides greater benefits to plant growth than inoculation with a single bacterial strain. In the present work, a bacterial consortium was formulated containing four compatible and desiccation-tolerant strains with potential as PGPR....
متن کاملVirulent bacterial infection improves aversive learning performance in Drosophila melanogaster.
Virulent infections are expected to impair learning ability, either as a direct consequence of stressed physiological state or as an adaptive response that minimizes diversion of energy from immune defense. This prediction has been well supported for mammals and bees. Here, we report an opposite result in Drosophila melanogaster. Using an odor-mechanical shock conditioning paradigm, we found th...
متن کاملCurcumin, a Naturally Occurring Plant Phenolic Compound Chemoprevention of Colon Carcinogenesis by Dietary
Human epidemiological and laboratory animal model studies have suggested that nonsteroidal antlinflammatory drugs reduce the risk of development of colon cancer and that the inhibition of colon carcinogen esis is mediated through the alteration in cyclooxygenase metabolism of arachidonic acid. Curcumin, whichis a naturally occurring compound,is present in turmeric, possesses both antiinflammato...
