Figure 6From: A fusion protein containing a lepidopteran-specific toxin from the South Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus) and snowdrop lectin shows oral toxicity to target insectsEffects of purified recombinant proteins on survival of rice brown planthopper. Third instar juveniles of N. lugens were fed on water only (mortality control), liquid artificial diet (negative control) and diet containing recombinant proteins at 0.5 mg/ml (= 0.05% w/v). Graph shows mean survival per replicate of 10 insects (± SE, n = 10 for water, diet, ButaIT/GNA, n = 20 for GNA).Back to article page
