Inhibitory effects of plant latex on trehalase activity and trehalase gene expression in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Plant latex contains proteins and other components that defend plants against herbivorous insects. We determined the inhibitory activity of methanolic extracts of latex obtained from three species of plant: mulberry, Morus alba; jackfruit, Artocarpus heterophyllus; and weeping fig, Ficus benjamina,...
