“…Effects of different essential oils on nutritional indices of stored product insects have been studied by different researchers (Huang et al, 2002;Huang and Ho, 1998;Huang et al, 2002;Negahban and Moharamipour, 2007;Saeidi and Hassanpour, 2014). According to our findings nutritional indices (RGR, RCR and ECI) of R. dominica adults decreased with increasing concentration level of EOs.…”

“…While, for T. castaneum, concentrations of 35 and 99 mg/g food is required to reduce the growth rate (RGR) and RCR, respectively. Saeidi and Hassanpour (2014) reported that M. piperita essential oil was more effective than M. pulegium by significantly reducing P. interpunctella nutritional indices. Therefore, most of the essential oils have antifeedant activity and their potential on nutritional indices should be studied.…”

In this study, the efficiency of essential oils from asafoetida, Ferula assa foetida L., geranium, Pelargonium hortorum L.H. Bailey and walnut leaves, Juglans regia F. was investigated on nutritional indices of Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) adults. Wheat grains were treated with different concentrations of the oils. The nutritional indices: relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR), efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and feeding deterrence index (FDI) were measured at 28 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 5% R. H. in continuous darkness. RGR, RCR and ECI deceased as the concentration level was increased. While, FDI percent increased significantly as the concentration level increased. Asafoetida oil had the most efficiency on nutritional indices and 28.61 ppm of the oil was enough to decrease RGR, RCR and ECI% to 0.032 mg/mg/day, 0.444 mg/mg/day and 6.994%, respectively. FDI percent of adults exposed to 6.5 ppm of asafoetida oil was 13.31% which increased upto 64.62% at the concentration of 28.61 ppm. In the second experiment, the effect of tested essential oils was evaluated on F1 progeny reduction of R. dominica. Walnut and asafoetida leaves essential oils significantly suppressed progeny production by (59.92%) and (53.2%) respectively.

“…The control of this pest in storage systems mainly depends on fumigants such as methyl bro- mide or phosphine, and fogging with pyrethrins or dichlorvos. However, methyl bromide has been banned in many countries since 2004 because of its ozone depleting properties (Hansen & Jensen, 2002;Saeidi & Yousefi, 2013;Saeidi & Hassanpour, 2014).…”

Antifeedant activity of plant extract from Mentha piperita was tested against the cowpea seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus. Dry ground plant was subjected to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The resulting oil contained menthone (28.9%), menthol (28.5%), and pulegone (6.9%) as the major compounds. LC50 of M. piperita essential oil was 25.70 μL/L air and mortality increased as the doses of essential oil increased. LT50 values were 3.29, 2.74 and 1.89 h at 100, 200 and 500 μL/L air, respectively. The results of persistence test of oil revealed that essential oil of M. piperita on C. maculatus adults was 5.44 days. It was clear from the repellency index that M. piperita essential oil has strong repellency at 90, 180 and 360 μL/L air concentration. The results showed that M. piperita essential oil has significantly affected the relative growth rate, relative consumption rate and feeding deterrence index of C. maculatus adults and it was concentration-dependent. The efficiency of conversion of ingested food has decreased while the concentrations are not statistically different at 5% level compared to the control group. It seems that essential oil can be used as low-risk insecticides.

“…Annually, million tons of strategic stored products such as cereals, nuts, grains and processed foods are ruined in developing countries, making existing economic problems more complex (Rharrabe et al, 2007;Amorim et al, 2008;Saeidi & Hassanpour, 2014). Among more than 500 beetle and moth pest species (Rajendran, 2002), the Indianmeal moth (IMM) Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) is the most detrimental pest, and causes a major part of the damage to stored food (Mohandass et al, 2007).…”

Biochemical characterization and structural analysis of trypsin from Plodia interpunctella midgut: implication of determinants in extremely alkaline pH activity profile

et al. 2017

In the present study, trypsin from Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) is characterized to discover sequence, biochemical and structural features. This enzyme is purified by ion exchange chromatography using fast protein liquid chromatography on proteins from fifth‐instar larvae. The enzyme is optimally active at 50 °C and pH 11.0. The kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) of the enzyme are 5.3 ± 0.6 µm and 31 ± 1.3 nmol min−1 mg−1, respectively (using Nα‐benzoyl‐l‐arginine ρ‐nitroanilide hydrochloride as substrate). The enzyme is inhibited by the addition of Cu2+ and Mn2+, whereas it is activated by Li+ at high concentrations. Moreover, the enzyme is almost completely inhibited in the presence of Nα‐tosyl‐l‐lysine chloromethyl ketone hydrochloride and phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride. To understand some characteristics of P. interpunctella trypsin, including active site structure and alkaline pH profile, a reliable structural model of P. interpunctella trypsin is built based on the Fusarium oxisporum (Schlecht) trypsin cystal structure (Protein Data Bank code: 1GDU). The secondary structure content of the purified trypsin from near‐ultraviolet circular dichroism data shows considerable similarities with that of P. interpunctella trypsin predicted structure. Analysis of pKa values of active site residues, a type of amino acid residue in the active site cleft and the surface charges of the model and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) trypsin structure as an insect species from different orders reveals some differences between them. These differences might effect on the microenvironment of the active site cleft and consequently shift its pH profile. The application of multiple theoretical and experimental techniques is well adapted to predict the enzyme structure with high accuracy and this could help in the design of a powerful inhibitor for trypsin with ideal properties.
