Fumigant toxicity and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of 4 Asteraceae plant essential oils and their constituents against Japanese termite (Reticulitermes speratus Kolbe)

Biological activity of Myrtaceae plant essential oils and their major components againstDrosophila suzukii(Diptera: Drosophilidae)

“…Our results concerning higher toxic activity but lower AChE inhibitory activity of neral and geranial suggested that the toxicity of these compounds was not correlated with their ability to inhibit AChE activity. There are many reports with results similar to ours . This finding suggests that the mode of action for monoterpenoids may not be AChE inhibition.…”

“…There are many reports with results similar to ours. 19,33,34 This finding suggests that the mode of action for monoterpenoids may not be AChE inhibition. GST comprises a group of multifunctional enzymes that play an important role in the detoxification and elimination of toxic and undesirable foreign compounds, and it plays an important role in insecticide resistance.…”

Insecticidal and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of Lamiaceae plant essential oils and their major components against Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

“…AChE inhibitory activity of EOs and their components has been investigated in several studies. (Nakanishi et al, 1980;Lee et al, 2001;Seo et al, 2014) In our study, among 6 tested compounds, perilla aldehyde, thymol and carvacrol showed potent AChE inhibitory activity and perilla aldehyde was most active followed by thymol and carvacrol. Lee and co-worker reported that carvacrol was most active in AChE inhibitory activity against S. oryzae and followed by thymol, perilla aldehyde, and p-cymene (Lee et al, 2001).…”

“…Menthol and menthone that showed fumigant activity did not showed AChE inhibitory activity. Toxicity of terpenoids and phenylpropanoids may not necessarily be correlated with ability to inhibit AChE activity (Lee et al, 2001;Seo et al, 2014). In our study, perilla aldehyde, thymol and carvacrol showed fumigant and contact toxicities and also showed AChE inhibitory activity.…”

Enhanced toxicity of Cry2Ab with cantharidin and its analogues on Mythimna separata

“…Development of biopesticides, which include botanical pesticides, entomopathogens and animal insecticides, is rapidly increasing due to their target specificity/host specificity and low environmental effects. As a result, more and more insect-selective toxins and micro-organisms have been used to control agricultural pests worldwide (Siegel 2001;Rashid et al 2013;Seo et al 2014).…”
