Journal ArticleDOI

Parasitism of Pieris rapae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) by a pupal endoparasitoid, Pteromalus puparum (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae): effects of parasitization and venom on host hemocytes

Jun Cai, +2 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: The results suggested that venom of P. puparum could actively suppress the hemocyte immune response of its host, but not by destroying the host hemocyte cytoskeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification and partial characterization of a 36-kDa chitinase from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. colmeri, and its biocontrol potential

Dong Liu, +6 more
- 05 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Chitinase A produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative venom toxicity between Pteromalus puparum and Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) toward the hemocytes of their natural hosts, non-target insects and cultured insect cells.

Zhong Zhang, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: The possibility that the host range of a defined parasitoid could be assessed using the method of treating hemocytes from candidate insects with venom in vitro is assessed, and the potential of the authors' venoms tested in the development of bio-insecticides, insect-resistant transgenic plants, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scavenger receptor-C acts as a receptor for Bacillus thuringiensis vegetative insecticidal protein Vip3Aa and mediates the internalization of Vip3Aa via endocytosis.

Kun Jiang, +11 more
- 04 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is confirmed for the first time that Sf-SR-C acts as a receptor for Vip3Aa protoxin and provides an insight into the mode of action of Vip 3Aa that will significantly facilitate the study of its insecticidal mechanism and application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of melanin produced by a wild-type strain of Bacillus thuringiensis.

Yuehua Chen, +4 more
- 01 Aug 2004 - 
TL;DR: Results of the bioassays of residual insecticidal activity of Bt formulation with and without pigment produced by Bt L-7601 against larvae of Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera exigua after exposure to UV irradiation showed that the pigment is an excellent UV protective agent for the insecticidal proteins.
