Quantification of γ-aminobutyric acid in the heads of houseflies (Musca domestica) and diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella (L.)), using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection

A novel method was developed for quantifying the levels of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the heads of houseflies (Musca domestica) and diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella (L.)), using capillary electrophoresis with laser‐induced fluorescence detection (CE‐LIF). The GABA in sample was derivatized with 4‐chloro‐7‐nitro‐2,1,3‐benzoxadiazole (NBD‐Cl) prior to CE‐LIF analysis. In total, 32 mmol/L borate buffer, at pH 9.2 and containing 5.3 mmol/L β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and 10.4 mmol/L sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), was determined to be the optimum CE background electrolyte (BGE) for GABA analysis. The detection limit of GABA was 0.016 μmol/L. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the migration time and peak area of GABA were 1.78 and 4.93%, respectively. The average recoveries of 0.97, 3.88, and 5.83 μmol/L of GABA, each added to the head sample of housefly, ranged from 88.9 to 110.5%. This method is simple and applicable to GABA assays of the heads of insects. With this newly developed CE‐LIF method, the amounts of GABA in the heads of houseflies (M. domestica) and diamondback moths (P. xylostella (L.)) were measured. The results are relevant to the understandings of some insecticides and insecticide‐resistance mechanisms in pests.     

Insecticidal effects of organotin(IV) compounds on Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) larvae I: Topical application toxicity and antifeedant effect

Structure–activity relationship studies were conducted with early fourth-instar larvae of a highly resistant strain of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) on (1) toxicity by topical appliction of 43 organotin compounds, and (2) the antifeedant effect of a selected number (17) of these compounds on treated Brassica chinensis (Chinese cabbage) leaves. The toxicity data revealed that the triorganotins (R₃SnX) were, without exception, more toxic than the commercial sample of malathion (84% active ingredient) used in the tests. Among the diorganotins, phenylcyclopentyltin oxide proved to be as active as malathion. Within the triorganotin series, the tricyclohexyltins were generally more toxic than the triphenyltins, the most active tricyclohexyltin compound being (c-C₆H₁₁)₃Sn(2-pyridinethiolato N-oxide) (LC₅₀ 0.03 μg μl^?1), which was almost 500-fold more active than malathion. The most active compound in the triphenyltin class was O, S-bis(triphenyltin)mercaptoacetate (LC₅₀ 0.30 μg μl^?1). Variations in the anionic X group resulted only in marginal changes in activity in the (c-C₆H₁₁)₃Sn series, but significant changes in activity were obtained with the Ph₃Sn compounds, especially the ring-substituted phenoxyacetates, (4-ZC₆H₄)OCH₂(O)COSnPh₃. In the mixed triorganotin compounds an increase in activity was observed when one of the phenyl groups in Ph₃SnOH was replaced by the p-chlorophenyl group. In the antifeedant tests, the tricyclohexyltins were found to be generally more effective than the triphenyltins. In most cases, antifeedant activity paralleled the toxicity by topical application trends in the (c-C₆H₁₁)₃Sn series, but in the Ph₃Sn series an inverse trend was observed. The diorganotin compound (c-C₅H₉)PhSnO exerted a relatively pronounced antifeedant activity which was comparable with that of a number of triphenyltin derivatives. It was established from histological studies of the mid-gut cross-sections of the treated larvae that, in most cases, the organotins affected the columnar cells physiologically; an exception was noted for Ph₃SnOC(O)C₆H₄COOH-4 which, like malathion, caused severe morphological damage to the cell membrane.     

Chemical composition and larvicidal activity of Zanthoxylum armatum against diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) is the most serious pest of cruciferous crops grown in the world causing economic yield loss. Several synthetic insecticides have been used against P. xylostella but satisfactory control was not achieved due to development of resistance to insecticides. Therefore, the present study was carried out to screen different fractions of Zanthoxylum armatum for their insecticidal activities against second instar larvae of P. xylostella. Results indicate, all the fractions showed activity to P. xylostella. However, n-hexane fraction of Z. armatum showed maximum larvicidal activity with minimum LC₅₀ value of 2988.6 ppm followed by ethanol (LC₅₀ = 12779.7 ppm) and methanol fraction (LC₅₀ = 12908.8 ppm) whereas chloroform fraction was least toxic (LC₅₀ = 16750.6 ppm). The GC–MS analysis of n-hexane fraction of leaf extract showed maximum larvicidal activity, which may be due to two major compounds i.e. 2-undecanone (19.75%) and 2-tridecanone (11.76%).

Proteomic Analysis of Differentially Expressed Proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana Response to Specialist Herbivore Plutella xylostella

The changes of the proteome in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves were examined by specialist Plutella xylostella.Analysis of about 1100 protein spots on each 2DE gel revealed 38 differentially expressed protein spots in abun-dance of which 34 proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS.Among the insect feeding responsive proteins,a few proteins involved in carbon metabolism were identified including proteins associated with the Calvin cycle in the chloroplast and TCA cycle in the mitochondria,indicating carbon metabolism related proteins may play crucial roles in induced defense response in plants under insect infestation.The analysis elucidates the subcellular location of proteins demonstrates that about 50% of proteins are in the chloroplast,which shows the chloroplast has a key role in the insect feeding response for plant.Gene expression analysis of 10 different proteins by quantitative real-time PCR shows that four proteins of the mRNA level were correlated well with the protein level.This study further dissected the nature of insect infestation as a stress signal and some novel insect feeding responsive proteins identified may play an important role in induced defence machanism for plant.
