Differential Inhibition of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) Gut Proteinases by Proteinase Inhibitors of Okra and It's Wild Relatives
The seeds of ten genotypes and twenty-nine wild relatives of okra were analysed for the presence of trypsin, chymotrypsin, and Helicoverpa gut proteinases (HGPs) inhibitors (HGPIs), with the aim to identify potent inhibitors of H. armigera gut proteinases. Proteinase inhibitors (PIs) obtained from wild relatives of okra exhibited stronger inhibition of HGPs than the genotypes of okra. In in vit...
متن کاملProtease Inhibitors in Wild Relatives of Pigeonpea against the Cotton Bollworm/Legume Pod Borer, Helicoverpa armigera
Cotton bollworm/legume pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera is one of the most damaging pests worldwide. Because of the difficulties associated with chemical control of this pest, emphasis has been placed on developing transgenic plants with resistance to H. armigera. Since toxin genes from the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been deployed on a large scale, there is need to scout for alt...
متن کاملImpact of differential feeding on the growth and development of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner).
The growth and development of Helicoverpa armigera was observed in the laboratory by feeding them on different foods viz; leaf, flower and fruit of lady finger, cotton, pigeon pea and chick pea. Based on the food ingested, food digested and food excreted as well as on weight and size of the larvae and the duration of larval period, the fruit of chick pea was found to be the most suitable food f...
متن کاملExploitation of wild relatives of pigeonpea and chickpea for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera
Wild relatives continue to evolve in nature, and live by a different rule than the crop plants – which is survival of the fittest. Wild species have evolved to survive droughts, floods, extremes of heat and cold, and have the capability to withstand damage by insect pests and diseases that cause heavy damage to cultivated species. Many improved cultivars of crops are vulnerable to insect pests ...
متن کاملPurification and Partial Characterization of Trypsin-Specific Proteinase Inhibitors from Pigeonpea Wild Relative Cajanus platycarpus L. (Fabaceae) Active against Gut Proteases of Lepidopteran Pest Helicoverpa armigera
Proteinase inhibitors (PIs) are natural defense proteins of plants found to be active against gut proteases of various insects. A pigeonpea wild relative Cajanus platycarpus was identified as a source of resistance against Helicoverpa armigera, a most devastating pest of several crops including pigeonpea. In the light of earlier studies, trypsin-specific PIs (CpPI 63) were purified from mature ...
