Journal ArticleDOI

Complexity in specificities and expression of Helicoverpa armigera gut proteinases explains polyphagous nature of the insect pest.

TL;DR: The diversity in the proteinase activity observed in H. armigera gut and the flexibility in their expression during developmental stages and depending upon the diet provides a base for selection of proper PIs for insect resistance in transgenic crop plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Successive Use of Non-Host Plant Proteinase Inhibitors Required for Effective Inhibition of Helicoverpa armigera Gut Proteinases and Larval Growth

TL;DR: The optimized combination of potato PI-II and winged bean PIs identified in the present study and their proposed successive use has potential in developing H. armigera-resistant transgenic plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bitter gourd proteinase inhibitors: potential growth inhibitors of Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura.

TL;DR: In larval feeding studies, BGPIs were found to retard growth and development of two lepidopteran pests namely Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura, the first report showing that BGPI mediated inhibition of insect gut proteinases directly affects fertility and fecundity of both H. armigerA and S. litura.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential of DNA markers in detecting divergence and in analysing heterosis in Indian elite chickpea cultivars

TL;DR: Molecular markers such as RAPDs and microsatellites were used to study genetic diversity in 29 elite Indian chickpea genotypes and two heterotic groups could be identified on the basis of the general marker heterozygosity.
Journal Article

Genetic engineering of crop plants for insect resistance

TL;DR: The judicious expression of multiple insecticidal proteins that differ in their mechanisms of toxicity will provide formidable barriers for insects to develop resistance and deployment of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies during the cultivation of transgenic crops will ensure durable insect resistance.
