PHYSIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL ECOLOGY Effects of Phenolic Glycosides and Protein on Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) and Forest Tent Caterpillar (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) Performance and Detoxication Activities
Levels of phenolic glycosides and protein inßuence the quality of aspen leaves to herbivorous insects, and vary in relation to genetic and environmental factors. This research was conducted to assess the independent and interactive effects of phenolic glycosides and protein on the performance and detoxication enzyme activities of gypsy moths, Lymantria dispar (L.), and forest tent caterpillars,...

متن کاملResponse of the Gypsy Moth, Lymantria dispar to Transgenic Poplar, Populus simonii x P. nigra, Expressing Fusion Protein Gene of the Spider Insecticidal Peptide and Bt-toxin C-peptide
The response of the Asian gypsy moth Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) to a fusion gene consisting of the spider, Atrax robustus Simon (Araneae: Hexanthelidae) ω-ACTX-Ar1 sequence coding for an ω-atracotoxin and a sequence coding for the Bt-toxin C-peptide, expressed in transgenic poplar Populus simonii x P. nigra L. (Malphigiales: Salicaceae) was investigated. Individual perfor...
متن کاملCold hardiness in Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): Glycerol content, hexose monophosphate shunt activity, and antioxidative defense system
Many insects in temperate regions overwinter in diapause, during which they are cold hardy. In these insects, one of the metabolic adaptations to the unfavorable environmental conditions is the synthesis of cryoprotectants/anhydroprotectants. The aim of this study was to investigate the connection between the antioxidative system and synthesis of cryoprotectants (mainly glycerol) in diapausing ...
متن کاملOptimization of Assay Conditions for Epoxide Metabolizing Enzymes in Trichoplusia Ni
-The optimization of assay conditions for glutathione S-transferase and epoxide hydrolase activities in the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni [Hiibner], Lepidoptera; Noctuidae) using trans and cis-stilbene oxides as substrates are reported. Glutathione S-transferase activity was predominantly cytosolic, and it was much greater in the fat body than the midgut. Differences in pH optima and rates of...
