Cloning, expression and characterization of arcelin and its impact on digestive enzymes of the stored product insect pest, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.)
Abstract:Key message The defensive role of arcelin from Phaseolus lunatus for its protection against insect pest Callosobruchus maculatus was elucidated. The potent insecticidal property of arcelin and its impact on pest molecular physiology has identified the adaptive strategies. Abstract The pulse beetle Callosobruchus maculatus causes potential damage to legume crops by infesting the seeds and causes a reduction in the content of total protein. Arcelin found in the wild accessions of the common bean, is an insectici… Show more
