Figure Lengend Snippet: Insecticidal activity of the predicted DSP1-ligands on P. xylostella . (A) Mortality bio-assay with 3-Ethoxy-4-Methoxyphenol (EMP) (B) Mortality bio-assay with Phthalimide ( PM ) and (C) Mortality bio-assay with O-Cyanobenzoic acid (CBA). Plutella xylostella L2 larvae were fed for 24 h on the cabbage leaf that was dipped in the DSP1 ligand solutions of different concentrations. Treated larvae were reared at 25 ± 2 °C temperature and 65 ± 5 % relative humidity. After 24 h, treated cabbage leaves were replaced with fresh leaves. Mortality data was recorded every 24 h up to 96 h. Each treatment was replicated four times and replication consisted of 10 larvae. Different letters above the standard error (SE) indicate significant differences among means at Type I error = 0.05 (LSD test).
Article Snippet: Identified bacterial metabolites such as Phthalimide (PM), o -Cyanobenzoic acid (CBA), and 3-Ethoxy-4-Methoxyphenol (EMP) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Korea (Seoul, Korea) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was used to dissolve these.
