Insecticide activity of a peptidase inhibitor isolated from Anadenanthera macrocarpa seeds against Anagasta kuehniella

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2022
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a part of the plant defense system and reduce the proteolytic activity of the digestive enzymes of insect pests. The current study aimed to isolate and characterize an inhibitor of trypsin (AmTI) within the seed of ...

Herbivory by a phloem-feeding insect inhibits floral volatile production [PDF]

, 2012
There is extensive knowledge on the effects of insect herbivory on volatile emission from vegetative tissue, but little is known about its impact on floral volatiles.

Historical records of plant-insect interactions in subarctic Finland

BMC Research Notes, 2022
Objectives Historical ecological records document the diversity and composition of communities decades or centuries ago. They can provide a valuable benchmark for comparisons with modern communities. Historical datasets on plant-animal interactions allow

Insect Feeding Assays with Spodoptera exigua on Arabidopsis thaliana

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Plant-insect interaction is an important field for studying plant immunity. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the best-known agricultural pest insects and is usually used to study plant interactions with chewing insects. Here, we describe a

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]

, 2008
Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.

Impact of parasitoid-associated polydnaviruses on plant-mediated herbivore interactions [PDF]

, 2022
Insect herbivores interact via plant-mediated interactions in which one herbivore species induces changes in plant quality that affects the performance of a second phytophagous insect that shares the food plant.

Insect-flower interaction networks vary among endemic pollinator taxa over an elevation gradient [PDF]

, 2018
Interaction networks are sensitive to elevation gradients through changes in local distribution of interacting partners. Here, we use plant-pollinator interaction network metrics to assess the effect of elevation on flowers and flower-visiting insect ...

Plant–insect interaction patterns in the late Neogene palaeoforest of Chotanagpur Plateau, eastern India [PDF]

, 2022
Plants and insects are essential components of terrestrial ecosystems and insect herbivory is the most important type of biotic interaction in these ecosystems alongside the role of insects as pollinators. Insect damaged fossil leaves are the only direct

Ecological fits, mis-fits and lotteries involving insect herbivores on the invase plant, Bunias orientalis [PDF]

, 2010
Exotic plants bring with them traits that evolved elsewhere into their new ranges. These traits may make them unattractive or even toxic to native herbivores, or vice versa.
