ACTION OF MAJOR INSECTICIDE GROUPS ON INSECT CELL LINES OF THE BEET ARMYWORM, SPODOPTERA EXIGUA, COMPARED WITH LARVICIDAL TOXICITY

From: In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology | Date: January 1, 2004| Author: Smagghe, Guy; Tirry, Luc; Decombel, Luc | Copyright information

SUMMARY

In a first series of experiments, the biological response of a continuous cell line of the beet army worm, Spodoptera exigua, was tested with different groups of insecticides with different modes of actions: acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, acetycholine receptor agonists, inhibitors and uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, site I electron transport inhibitors, gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor inhibitors, chilin synthesis inhibitors, and juvenile hormone analogues. From the ...

Safer control of pests.(new pesticide)(Brief Article)
Chemistry and Industry ; A pesticide that works by preventing insects maturing looks like a potential candidate in the search for safer ways of controlling pests. The pesticide has been designed to attack insect juvenile hormone, which is essential in controlling the process of metamorphosis in insects' development. 'In
Hormone triggers moth mating.
Science News ; Hormone triggers moth mating Studies have shown that most female moths looking for mates release a self-manufactured perfume, or sex pheromone, as soon as they emerge from the cocoon. Now scientists have found a moth, the true armyworm, that waits to mate until weather permits, thereby controlling
BACULOVIRUS-BASED EXPRESSION OF AN INSECT VIRAL PROTEIN IN 12 DIFFERENT INSECT CELL LINES
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY The ability of 12 unique lepidopteran insect cell lines from Anticarsia gemmatalis, Heliothis virescens, Lymantria dispar (two lines), Mamestra brassica, Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera frugiperda (two lines), and Trichoplusia ni (three lines) to support production of a recombinant
Beetle brains show how sex shortens life. (Tough Tradeoff).(Brief Article)
Science News ; Neurosurgery in beetles uncovers yet another way that having sex can make life shorter. Many insects and some other animals tend to die younger if they mate than if they don't, says Michael Siva-Jothy of the University of Sheffield in England. After 200 or so organ transplants in mealworm beetles,
APPLICATION OF INTER-SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS TO INSECT CELL LINES: IDENTIFICATION AT THE CLONAL AND TISSUE-SPECIFIC LEVEL*
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers designed to anneal to microsatellites were used to obtain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fingerprint profiles to distinguish among 16 established insect cell lines derived from an assortment of lepidopteran, dipteran, and coleopteran species. Three
Transformation of lepidopteran and coleopteran insect cell lines by Glyptapanteles indiensis polydnavirus DNA
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; SUMMARY iecently investigators showed that polydnavirus DIVA trom the parasitic wasp (7typtapante es iensis could transtorm gypsy moth L. dispar cell lines in vitro (McKelvey et al., 1996). Here we show GiPDV DNA is capable of transforming in vitro to varying degrees lepidopteran (IPLB-TN-R2,
Insect cell culture in research: Indian scenario
Indian Journal of Medical Research ; Insect cell cultures are widely used in viral diagnosis and biotechnology, for the production of recombinant proteins, viral pesticides and vaccines as well as in basic research in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, endocrinology and virology. Following KRP Singh's pioneering research in
N-glycosylation of a baculovirus-expressed recombinant glycoprotein in three insect cell lines
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; P. C. KULAKOSKY,1 M, L. SHULER, AND H. A. WOOD1 SUMMARY The capacity of two Trichoplusia ni (TN-368 and BTI-Tn-5bl-4) and a Spodoptera frugiperda (IPLB-SF-21A) cell lines to glycosylate recombinant, baculovirus-encoded, secreted, placental alkaline phosphatase was compared. The alkaline phosphatase
In vitro host range of the Hz-1 nonoccluded virus in insect cell lines
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; Abstract A total of 13 insect cell lines spanning 4 orders (Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Homoptera) were tested for their ability to replicate the nonoccluded virus Hz-1. Only the Lepidopteran cell lines supported replication of the virus with TN-CL1 and BCIRL-HZ-AM1 producing the highest
Transgenic Insect Cell Lines That Support Production of Humanized Glycoproteins by Baculovirus Expression Vectors
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ; I-7 One widely-recognized advantage of the baculovirus-insect cell system is its ability to produce recombinant proteins with cucaryotic modifications, such as glycosylation. However, the protein glycosylation pathways of insect cells appear to be less extensive than those of mammalian cells and,
