“…It seems that olive fly larvae are more sensitive to the Lcanavanine than other insects studied. In addition L-canavanine suppressed growth and caused various malfunctions when it was administered in various ways into the body of insects (Isogai et al 1973, Palumbo and Dahlman 1978, Dahlman et. al.…”

“…Occasionally a vitellogenic oocyte was observed in one or two ovarioles and the chorion was sometimes absent. The failure of oocytes to become chorionated under the influence of canavanine has been clearly demonstrated in M. sexta (Palumbo & Dahlman 1978).…”

Various concentrations of L‐canavanine were fed to 5th instar nymphs and adults of Dysdercus koenigii F. Mortality of D. koenigii offered canavanine‐containing water for 8 days from the beginning of the 5th instar was directly proportional to the concentration of canavanine. In a continued treatment of newly ecdysed adults up to 1st oviposition, the reductions in fecundity and fertility were directly proportional to the concentration of canavanine. Treatment of adults over a defined time (48 or 72 hr) revealed a significant effect on fertility with 175 ppm canavanine completely inhibiting hatch of the 2nd and subsequent batches of eggs. Embryogenesis of eggs from canavanine‐treated females mated to untreated males was severely impaired. A gradual reduction in fertility was observed in successive batches of eggs oviposited by untreated females mated to canavanine‐treated males. RÉSUMÉ L‐canavanine, substance antigonadiale pour Dysdercus koenigii F Différentes concentrations de L‐canavanine ont été fournies à des larves de 5è stade et à des adultes de Dysdercus koenigii F. Des D. koenigii ayant reçu — pendant 8 jours à partir du début du 5è stade — de l'eau contenant de la canavanine ont présenté une mortalité proportionnelle à la concentration jusqu'à la première ponte, les réductions de la fécondité et de la fertilité ont été aussi proportionnelles à la concentration de canavanine. Le traitement des adultes avec 175 ppm de canavanine pendant une durée précise (48 ou 72 hr) montre un effet significatif sur la fertilité, avec inhibition complète de l'éclosion du second et des lots ultérieurs d'œufs. L'embryogenèse des œufs des femelles traitées à la canavanine et accouplées à des mâles sains est sérieusement perturbée. Une diminution graduelle de la fertilité a été observée dans les lots d'oeufs successifs pondus par des femelles saines accouplées avec des mâles traités à la canavanine.

“…At lower concentrations (0.25-1.5%), canavanine affected only fecundity and egg-hatching, while at higher concentrations (1.5-10%) survival was significantly shortened. This analogue has also been found to reduce survival of some species of Muscidae (Dahlman et al, 1979) and to affect egg fertility of Manduca sexta (Palumbo & Dahlman, 1978). In addition, it was shown to be incorporated into vitellogenins of Locusta migratoria, disrupting their tertiary and/or quaternary structure (Rosenthal et al, 1989).…”

The effect of twenty five amino acid analogues at various concentrations upon the adult olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae Gmelin (Diptera: Tephritidae), was tested. Insect survival was significantly shortened by the following amino acid analogues: (in parentheses are indicated the antagonized amino acids) D‐cycloserine (alanine), L‐glutamic acid‐γ‐hydrazide (glutamine), DL‐allyl‐glycine (cysteine), L‐canavanine (arginine), L‐methionine‐DL‐sulfoximine (methionine) and 3,4‐dehydro‐DL‐proline (proline). Fecundity was significantly reduced by the same analogues plus aminoethanesulfonic acid (glycine), taurine (alanine), L‐norvaline (leucine), a‐methyl‐DL‐serine (serine), DL‐hydroxyglutamic acid (glutamic acid), (S)‐2‐(aminoethyl)‐L‐cysteine (lysine), a‐methyl‐DL‐methionine (methionine) and a‐methyl‐DL‐histidine (histidine). All the above amino acid analogues also depressed egg‐hatching with the exception of taurine, DL‐hydroxyglutamic acid, DL‐allyl glycine, a‐methyl‐DL‐methionine and a‐methyl‐DL‐histidine. Finally, y‐glutamyl‐p‐nitroanilide (glutamic acid), crotyl‐glycine (methionine), DL‐7‐azatryptophan and 5‐methyl‐DL‐tryptophan (tryptophan), DL‐1,2,4 triazole‐3‐alanine (histidine) and DL‐pipecolic acid (proline) did not affect any of the parameters tested.
