1. A potent inhibitor of microsomal mixed-function oxidation has been isolated from the gut contents of larvae of the southern armyworm (Prodenia eridania). 2. Progressive inhibition is associated with a soluble proteinase with a molecular weight of approx. 26000. 3. Although the proteolytic activity of the inhibitor can be reduced by phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride and other reagents, these ma...

Three new grayanane diterpenoids, pierisoids C‒E (1-3), as well as 10 known ones (4-13), were evaluated from the flowers of Pieris formosa, which is used as an insecticide in rural areas of China. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data analyses. Significant antifeedant activity of 1, 3 and 10 against the beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua) was ...

Abstract Anti-oviposition induced by Cordyceps fumosorosea FG340 to Spodoptera exigua and its persistence had been assessed on the Chinese cabbage seedlings sprayed with 0, 10 6 , 7 8 conidia per mL in greenhouse laboratory. In a randomized complete block, four couples (males females) of moths were released each cage. laboratory, percentage egg laid varied significantly between treatments 59.8,...

Turfgrass selections including 21 paspalums (Paspalum vaginatum Swartz) and 12 zoysiagrasses (Zoysia sp.) were compared with susceptible ‘KY31’ tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and more resistant common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon Pers.) and common centipedegrass [Eremochloa ophiuroides (Munro.) Hack] for potential resistance to fall armyworm [Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)], an...

15-Deoxyoxalicine B (1) and decaturins A (2) and B (3) have been isolated from Penicillium decaturense and Penicillium thiersii, two previously undescribed species obtained as colonists of wood-decay fungi. The structures were determined by 2D NMR experiments and/or single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. These compounds are members of a rare structural class, and decaturins A and B feature ...

Abstract. Dharmayanthi AB, Subagyo VNO, Nugraha RTP, Rahmini, Rahmadi C, Darmawan, Sutrisno H. 2022. Genetic characteristics and strain types of the invasive fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 3928-3935. The armyworm, is an pest tropical region western hemisphere, which globally distributed, including Therefore, this study ...

The phytochemistry of the genus Piper (Piperaceae) has been widely studied due to the biological properties of amides from these plants. In this work, we have synthesized and evaluated the toxic effect of 11 amides against the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda larvae. The naturally occurring piperine was also evaluated. The most active amide was N-[3-(3',4'-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-(E)-propeno...
