Lippia umbellata Cav.: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal, and Antimicrobial Activities
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.Hexane extracts of Lippia umbellata leaves and flowers contain lupenone, α‐amyrin, and hentriacontane. They exhibit insecticidal activity against Drosophila melanogaster and inhibit AChE in vitro and in silico. Furthermore, the extracts can inhibit the growth of medically important bacteria and yeasts, including multidrug‐resistant strains.

The role of low levels of juvenile hormone Esterase in the metamorphosis of Manduca sexta
Journal of Insect Science, 2001 The activity of juvenile hormone esterase (JHE) in feeding fifth instar larvae of Manduca sexta increases gradually with larval weight and rises to a peak after larvae pass the critical weight when juvenile hormone secretion ceases.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

α-Cyclodextrin extracts diacylglycerol from insect high density lipoproteins
Journal of Lipid Research, 2000 α-Cyclodextrins are water-soluble cyclic hexamers of glucose units with hydrophobic cavities capable of solubilizing lipophiles. Incubating α-cyclodextrin with high density lipophorin from Manduca sexta or Bombyx mori resulted in a cloudy, turbid ...

A senior moment: What is the program of programmed cell death?
Cell Communication and SignalingA previously generated sequence of putative mRNA from intersegmental muscles of Manduca sexta moths just before the death of the muscles has been identified as the N-terminal sequence of a copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase.

Lipophorin of the larval honeybee, Apis mellifera L.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1985 Most insects have a major lipoprotein species in the blood (hemolymph) that serves to transport fat from the midgut to the storage depots in fat body cells and from the fat body to peripheral tissues.

Jasmonate-dependent depletion of soluble sugars compromises plant resistance to Manduca sexta [PDF]
, 2015 Jasmonates regulate plant secondary metabolism and herbivore resistance. How they influence primary metabolites and how this may affect herbivore growth and performance are not well understood.
