Biochemical characterization of α- and β-glucosidases in alimentary canal, salivary glands and haemolymph of the rice green caterpillar, Naranga aenescens M. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Abstract: The biochemical properties of α- and β-glucosidase in salivary glands, alimentary canal and haemolymph of Naranga aenescens larvae, one of the most damaging pests of the rice crop in Iran, were investigated. The specific activity of α-glucosidases were 3.88, 2.74 and 1.58 μmol/min per mg protein in the alimentary canal, salivary glands and haemolymph of last instar larvae, respectively. The specific activity of β-glucosidases were 1.27, 0.077 and 0.414 μmol/min per mg protein in the alimentary canal, salivary … Show more

“…These enzymes hydrolyze carbohydrates by acting on 1,4-α linkages, releasing D-glucose from the non-reducing end of the sugar 21 . In insects, these enzymes are found in the salivary secretions, hemolymph and alimentary canal 22 . The inhibition of these enzymes would slow the process of digestion; leading to adverse effects in the insects.…”
