Efficient incorporation of free oxygen into volicitin in Spodoptera litura common cutworm larvae.

چکیده
Volicitin [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine] has previously been identified from the lepidopteran larval regurgitant as an elicitor of plant volatile emission. The efficient incorporation of free oxygen into volicitin by Spodoptera litura larvae is demonstrated here by rearing them under (18)O(2) for three days. (18)O-labeling of the hydroxyl group of volicitin was confirmed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-ion trap-time-of-flight (LC/MS-IT-TOF) and suggests the activity of a monooxygenase in volicitin biosynthesis.

Efficient incorporation of unsaturated fatty acids into volicitin-related compounds in Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
We introduced efficient incorporation of unsaturated fatty acids into volicitin [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine] and N-linolenoyl-L-glutamine, insect-derived elicitors of plant volatiles, in the common cutworms Spodoptera litura by the incubation of larval gut tissues with unsaturated (linolenic, linoleic, and oleic acids) or saturated fatty acids (palmitic and stearic acids) sodium salt,...
متن کاملEffects of synthesized tannin on the growth and survival of a generalist herbivorous insect, the common cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
We examined the effects of tannin on a generalist herbivorous insect, the common cutworm (Spodoptera litura). The dosage effect was estimated by measuring the growth performance of the cutworm when the larvae were fed artificial diets containing different amounts of synthesized tannin. We used artificial diets to exclude the effects of non-tannin defense mechanisms in plant foliage. Indices of ...
متن کاملIdentification of Two Cytochrome Monooxygenase P450 Genes, CYP321A7 and CYP321A9, from the Tobacco Cutworm Moth (Spodoptera Litura) and Their Expression in Response to Plant Allelochemicals
Larvae of the polyphagous tobacco cutworm moth, Spodoptera litura (S. litura), encounter potentially toxic allelochemicals in food. It is therefore important for S. litura to produce detoxification enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s). In this study, we have identified two novel cytochrome P450 genes of S. litura, named CYP321A7 and CYP321A9. Phylogenetic analysis indicated th...
متن کاملBiotransformation of sinesetin by the larvae of the common cutworm (Spodoptera litura).
Biotransformation of sinesetin (1) by larvae of Spodoptera litura was investigated. Compound 1 was converted to a new flavonoid, (+)-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone-6-O-beta-D-glucoside (4), and two known flavones, 4'-hydroxy-5,6,7,3'-tetramethoxyflavone (2) and 6-hydroxy-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone (3). These structures were established by IR, HR-EI-MS, HR-FAB-MS, 1D NMR, and 2D NMR spectral s...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of CYP9A40 from the Tobacco Cutworm Moth (Spodoptera litura), a Cytochrome P450 Gene Induced by Plant Allelochemicals and Insecticides
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) of insects play crucial roles in the metabolism of endogenous and dietary compounds. Tobacco cutworm moth (Spodoptera litura), an important agricultural pest, causes severe yield losses in many crops. In this study, we identified CYP9A40, a novel P450 gene of S. litura, and investigated its expression profile and potential role in detoxification of plant a...
