Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, soil bacterium, which is very
popular bio-control agent in agricultural and forestry. In general, B. thuringiensis secretes an …

To gain an insight into the effects of different diets on growth and development of the
domesticated silkworm at protein level, we employed comparative proteomic approach to …

The entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and its toxins are extensively
used for pest control purposes in agriculture, forestry and public health programmes since …

Allelochemicals play important roles in the plant defense against herbivorous insects. They
act as feeding deterrents, interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption, and cause …

Plant allelochemicals are nonnutritional chemicals that interfere with the biology of
herbivores. We posed the hypothesis that ingestion of a glycoalkaloid allelochemical, α …

Plants synthesize a broad range of secondary metabolites that act as natural defenses
against plant pathogens and herbivores. Among these, potato plants produce glycoalkaloids …

The effect of some species of the Fabaceae family (the pea Pisum sativum L., broad bean
Vicia faba L. and vetch V. sativa L.) on biochemical markers of oxidative stress within tissues …

Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal proteins bind to cell-surface receptors which
represent a family of aminopeptidases [APN (aminopeptidase N)] present on the brush …

Application of Bacillus thuringiensis tenebrionis (Bt) and expression of the Bt protein Cry3Aa
in genetically modified crops are used for targeted control of the Colorado potato beetle …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crystal proteins (Cry) bind to aminopeptidase N (APN) receptors
