Insect feeding trials were carried out to determine the effects of incorporating a range of
plant derived proteins into artificial diets fed to leafhopper and planthopper pests of rice. The …

A lectin extracted from Polygonom persicaria (PPA) was mixed with the artificial diet
provided to the larvae of Helicoverpa armigera at various concentrations. Although the PPA …

The study aimes to evaluate the bioactivity of two plant extracts (menthol (99%), camphor
(100%) and their mixture) on egg masses, 2< sup> nd instar larvae and pupae of cotton leaf …

Plant lectins are a very heterogeneous group of protein that all share one important
biological property: they can recognize and bind reversibly to specific carbohydrate …

The biological effects of affinity purified seed lectin from African yam bean, Sphenostylis
stenocarpa (Harms), were tested on Clavigralla tomentosicollis (Stål) in an artificial seed …

Artificial diet bioassays were carried out to investigate the impact of GNA and Con A upon
the development of L. oleracea larvae. GNA, at 2% of total dietary protein, exerted a …

BACKGROUND: To check for correlation between the insecticidal properties and the
specificity of lectins, a comparative study was made of the insecticidal activities of two garlic …

This work aimed at describing the first biochemical and structural data of a lectin belonging
to Swartzieae, a primitive Legume Taxa. A lactose-binding seed lectin (SLL) was purified by …

Lectins are proteins that are subject of intense investigations. Information on lectin from
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with respect to its biological activities are very limited. In this …

Lectins are hemagglutinating proteins that promote cellular responses due to their
interaction with glycosylated molecules. Trypsin inhibitors have been described as …
