“…Flavonoid could be influenced by the maximum larval mortality, larval-pupal intermediates and deformities in adults in the study. Results of this study corroborates with the results of Anshul et al (2013), who studied the methanol extract from Artemisia annua which contains flavonoids against H. armigera; they observed maximum larval mortality, deformities in adults and larval-pupal intermediates. Similarly, Sharma & Agarwal (2011) reported that flavonoids like rutin and gossypol are responsible for the growth inhibition of E. vittella.…”

“…Regarding the effect caused by the different flavonoids, different authors have reported contrasting effects in insects, probably because plants use these compounds as a defense against herbivores. On the one hand, the compounds can present insecticidal activity, affecting the feeding behavior and development of moths (Morimoto et al, 2000(Morimoto et al, , 2003Anshul et al, 2013), the feeding behavior of beetles (Onyilagha et al, 2012) and the feeding behavior and development of aphids (Ateyyat et al, 2012;Goławska and Lukasik, 2012;Goławska et al, 2014). Additionally, Goławska and Łukasik (2012) demonstrated that the flavonoid luteolin affected pea aphid feeding behavior, reducing aphid ingestion.…”

The honey bee is the most frequently used species in pollination services for diverse crops. In onion crops (Allium cepa), however, bees avoid visiting certain varieties, being attracted differently to male sterile (MS) and fertile (OP) lines. These differences might be based on the phenolic profiles of the cultivars' nectars. To understand the relationship between nectar composition and pollinator attraction to different onion lines, we tested sensory and cognitive abilities and palatability in honey bees exposed to MS and OP onion nectars and sugar solutions mimicking them. We evaluated the proboscis extension response (PER) after antennal contact (unconditioned response) to MS or OP onion nectars, finding no statistical differences, which indicates similar gustatory perception for the two nectars. We also performed food uptake assays to test palatability of different artificial nectars, considering their flavonoids and potassium content. The presence of potassium decreased the palatability of the artificial nectars. Finally, we evaluated the bees' cognitive abilities when the reward (unconditioned stimulus) offered during conditioning PER assays presents differences in composition. We found that potassium by itself impaired learning; however, such impairment was even higher when naringenin and quercetin were added in the unconditioned stimulus (MS nectar mimic). Interestingly, potassium together with luteolin (OP nectar mimic) improved learning. Our study demonstrates that the differences in the nectars' flavonoid profiles combined with their high potassium content could explain the previously reported differences in attractiveness between onion lines, suggesting an important role of nectar compounds other than sugars for the attractiveness of flowers to pollinators.

“…Khosravi et al (2010) observed that A. annua extract affected the nutritional indices and also showed antifeedant activities on Glyphodes pyloalis Walker. Anshul et al (2013Anshul et al ( , 2014Anshul et al ( , 2015 showed that methanolic extract of powdered A. annua leaves adversely affect H. armigera. The extract affected toxicity, inhibition and disruption of the growth, development and histopathological and biological parameters of H. armigera.…”

Abstract:The essential oil of Artemisia annua L., a weed collected from northern Iran, was studied for its toxicity and physiological aspects on 4th instar larva of the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera Hübner in controlled conditions (26±1°C, 65±10% RH and 16 L :: 8 D h). The artificial diet was used as a medium for investigating the toxicity and the effect of LC 10 , LC 30 , LC 50 , and LC 90 on the feeding efficiency of 4th instar larva. The essential oil in doses of LC 10 , LC 30 , LC 50 , and LC 90 were estimated to be 2.01%, 3.86%, 6.07%, and 18.34%, respectively. The activity of α-amylase, protease, lipase, general esterases, and glutathione S-transferase and protein, triglyceride, glucose for treated larva were measured. The results showed that all of these parameters were decreased compared with the control. Hence, A. annua essential oil is suggested as a botanical for controlling this important pest of field crops.
