Characterization of esterases associated with profenofos resistance in the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.).
The utility of microplate and electrophoretic assays for detection of biochemical and physiological mechanisms underlying resistance to profenofos in the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.), was assessed. Esterase (EST) activities were significantly higher in profenofos-resistant than -susceptible larvae, and activities were highly correlated (r(2) = 0.87) with resistance to profenofos. B...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of pheromone receptors in the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens.
Functional analyses of candidate Heliothis virescens pheromone odorant receptors (HvORs) were conducted using heterologous expression in Xenopus oocytes. HvOR6 was found to be highly tuned to Z9-14:Ald, while HvOR13, HvOR14 and HvOR16 showed specificity for Z11-16:Ald, Z11-16:OAc and Z11-16:OH, respectively. HvOR15, which had been considered a candidate receptor for Z9-14:Ald did not respond to...
متن کاملPlasma phenoloxidase of the larval tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens, is virucidal
Heliothis virescens larval plasma contains high levels of an antiviral activity against the budded form of the Helicoverpa zea single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HzSNPV) in vitro. Preliminary results indicated that phenoloxidase is primarily responsible for this virucidal effect. However it is known that other enzymes that generate antimicrobial reactive oxygen intermediates and reactive nitrogen int...
متن کاملDNA methylation patterns in
The frequency of cytosine raethylatlon at specific sites in the somatic 5S DNA (Xls) and trace oocyte 5S DNA (Xlt) of X. laevis has been determined using restriction enzymes that are inhibited by the presence of 5-methylcytosine (S^) within their cleavage sequences. 5S DNA methylation patterns were determined in genomic DNA from mature red blood cells, which express neither type of 5S gene, and...
متن کاملIncorporation of rhodamine B into male tobacco budworm moths Heliothis virescens to use as a marker for mating studies
Rhodamine B, a dye commonly used in a variety of biological studies was incorporated into the bodies of male tobacco budworm moths, Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), by allowing them to feed freely on 0.1% rhodamine dissolved in a 10% sucrose solution. After exposing males for one to three days to this pigment, rhodamine was clearly detectable in >82% of spermatophores extracted fro...
