Plant phloem sterol content: forms, putative functions, and implications for phloem-feeding insects
All eukaryotes contain sterols, which serve as structural components in cell membranes, and as precursors for important hormones. Plant vegetative tissues are known to contain mixtures of sterols, but very little is known about the sterol composition of phloem. Plants are food for many animals, but plant-feeding arthropods (including phloem-feeding insets) are unique among animals in that they ...
متن کاملDNA barcoding insect-host plant associations.
Short-sequence fragments ('DNA barcodes') used widely for plant identification and inventorying remain to be applied to complex biological problems. Host-herbivore interactions are fundamental to coevolutionary relationships of a large proportion of species on the Earth, but their study is frequently hampered by limited or unreliable host records. Here we demonstrate that DNA barcodes can great...

متن کاملPlant Sterols and Sterolins Monograph
Alternative Medicine Review ◆ Volume 6, Number 2 ◆ 2001 Page 203 Plant Sterols and Sterolins Introduction Sterols and sterolins, also known as phytosterols, are fats present in all plants, including fruits and vegetables. Although they are chemically similar to the animal fat, cholesterol, they have been shown to exert significant unique biochemical effects in both animals and humans. Because t...
متن کاملAdult Phyllophaga Ephilida Host Plant Feeding Preference
Limited biological information about Phyllophaga ephilida , a major sweet potato pest in Louisiana, is available. In 2001 and 2002, a study was conducted in the laboratory to investigate the feeding preference of adult Phyllophaga ephilida (Say) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) for the foliage of eight woody plant species: water oak ( Quercus nigra L.), live oak ( Quercus virginiana Mill.), red maple...
