Annona coriacea lectin (ACLEC) was tested for insecticidal activity against larvae of two
pyralid moths, Anagasta kuehniella and Corcyra cephalonica. ACLEC produced∼ 50 …

Lectins are an important group of proteins which are spread in all kingdoms of life. Their
most lighted characteristic is associated to their specific carbohydrate binding, although …

Plant lectins have insecticidal activity that is probably mediated through their ability to bind
carbohydrates. To examine the influence of sugars on the insecticidal activity of a lectin from …

Plant lectins have received a lot of attention because of their insecticidal properties. When
orally administered in artificial diet or in transgenic plants, lectins provoke a wide range of …

During the long course of interaction and co-evolution with herbivorous insects, plants have
evolved a broad range of defense mechanisms to counteract insect attack (Chen 2008) …

Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin with atleast one non-catalytic
domain that bind specifically and reversibly to carbohydrates (Peumans and Van Damme …

Lectin from Glycine max L. was extracted and purified by affinity chromatography using
asialofetuin-linked porous amino-activated silica beads. The concentration-dependent effect …

This study describes the purification of an N-acetylglucosamine-binding lectin from
Koelreuteria paniculata seeds and its effects on the larval development of Callobruchus …

The present study reports the insecticidal activity of Orysata, a lectin from rice with mannose
specificity, belonging to the family of jacalin-related lectins. The effect of Orysata was …

Many plant lectins have high anti‐insect potential. Although the effects of most lectins are
only moderately influencing development or population growth of the insect, some lectins …
