Plant serine proteinase inhibitors (PIS) have the potential to restrict the growth and/or development of herbivorous insects. However, there are limitations to the efficacy of these PIS. An insect's susceptibility to a PI is determined, at least in part, by the relative proportion of proteolytic enz
The major proteinase activities in the larval midgut of a common poplar tree borer, Anoplophora glabripennis, were characterised. Overall digestive capacity, as measured by casein hydrolysis, showed a p H optimum between 10 and 11.5, suggestive of serine endopeptidase activity. Trypsin, chymotrypsin
## Abstract In this study, the major pheromone component, 3βhydroxyβ2βbutanone (3Hβ2B), released by dominants was measured during early scotophase. Both the JH III titer in the hemolymph and the 3Hβ2B content of the sternal glands of the dominants and subordinates were then measured during late sco
