Purification and characterization of trypsin inhibitor from Cicer arietinum L. and its efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera
Protease inhibitors in legumes are one of the most promising weapons that confer resistance against insects by inhibiting proteases present in the gut of insect larvae. In the present study, trypsin inhibitor activity was detected in the seed flour extracts of 10 selected varieties of chickpea. The presence of inhibitor was confirmed by dot blot analysis. All the varieties showed inhibitory act...
متن کاملPurification of trypsin inhibitor from seeds of Cicer arietinum (L.) and its insecticidal potential against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)
INTRODUCTION Cicer arietinum is an important self-pollinated diploid crop 2n=2x=16 with genome sized approximately 931 Mbp (Arumuganathan and Earle 1991). India is the largest producer of chickpea, contributing with about 66% of the total global production, followed by Turkey, Pakistan and Mexico (Thangwana and Ogola 2012). It is a major source of protein (12.4-31.5%), energy, fiber, vitamins, ...
متن کاملBiological activity of soybean trypsin inhibitor and plant lectins against cotton bollworm/legume pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera
The noctuid, Helicoverpa armigera, is the most important crop pest worldwide. We evaluated the biological activity of soybean trypsin inhibitor and plant lectins against this pest to identify toxin genes for deployment through transgenic plants. Of the seven plant lectins tested, chickpea and snowdrop lectins showed marked antibiotic effects in terms of insect survival and development. Larval s...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of the Roots of Cocculus Hirsutus
Cocculus hirsutus Linn was studied for antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Echerchia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi using agar disc-diffusion method. Petroleum ether extract, Ethanolic extract and Crude alkaloidal fraction were screened for the activity in various concentrations and zone of inhibitions were recorded. Results suggest that the Ethanolic extrac...
متن کاملPreliminary Phytochemical Studies on the Roots of Cocculus Hirsutus, Linn.
The roots of Cocculus hirsutus (Linn) Diels was analyzed for preliminary phytochemical studies including physical constant (total ash, acid soluble and insoluble ash and moisture content), extractive values in different solvents (petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, methanol and water), and phytochemical tests. The plant is well reputed in traditional system of medicine, present studies will h...
