Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: An Overview of Their Biocidal Activity

Toxins, 2014
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium that synthesizes parasporal crystalline inclusions containing Cry and Cyt proteins, some of which are toxic against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes and human-cancer cells ...

QSAR Evaluation of Monoterpenoids' Insecticidal Activity

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2002
Monoterpenoids are naturally occurring compounds that are found in higher-order plants. These compounds are secondary metabolites that seem to play no major role in the metabolic functioning of the plants. One role of monoterpenoids in the plants is to defend against plant-directed pathogens, herbivores, or competing plant species.
