Effects of a Reserve Protein on <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> Development: A Biochemical and Molecular Approach to the Entomotoxic Mechanism

Effects of a Reserve Protein on <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> Development: A Biochemical and Molecular Approach to the Entomotoxic Mechanism

Talisin is a storage protein from <i>Talisia esculenta</i> seeds that presents lectin-like and peptidase inhibitor properties. These characteristics suggest that talisin plays a role in the plant defense process, making it a multifunctional protein. This work aimed to investigate the eff...
