“…subfasciatus, and the genotype IAC 457, which was considered resistant to Z. subfasciatus, was classified as highly susceptible to A. obtectus. These results corroborate data already available for the tested insect species (Guzmán-Maldonado et al 1996, Hartweck et al 1997 and the widely available literature showing that plant resistance to insects is species specific (Lara 1991, Panda & Khush 1995, Smith 2005. Differences in bean resistance to A. obtectus and Z. subfasciatus were related to the carbohydrate and protein fractions of P. vulgaris (Gatehouse et al 1987).…”

Resistance of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties is an important tool to control Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) and Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boheman) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) worldwide. However, bioassays to characterize the resistance of a genotype can be difficult to perform. Therefore, the current study sought to correlate the morpho-agronomic traits of P. vulgaris genotypes with their resistance to A. obtectus and Z. subfasciatus to facilitate genotype characterization. Bean samples of each genotype were infested with newly emerged insect couples, and the number of adults obtained in each genotype was quantified (value used as a resistance parameter). The resistance index was calculated by dividing the number of adults obtained in each genotype by the one obtained in the cultivar Bolinha, used as the standard for susceptibility. Fifty genotypes were evaluated for A. obtectus and 202 for Z. subfasciatus. All genotypes were characterized according to their resistance to each insect and 18 other morpho-agronomic traits, for a total of 19 descriptors. Principal component analyses did not show any correlation between insect resistance and the morpho-agronomic traits of the genotypes. Further, the thousand seeds weight (TSW), which is indicative of the genotype center of origin was tested considering genotypes from Mesoamerican with low TSW, while those from Andean with high TSW. Thus, the lack of correlation between genotype resistance and TSW indicates that resistance to A. obtectus and Z. subfasciatus in P. vulgaris is not related to the host center of origin.

“…Tannin contents of cultivated beans are comparable to those reported previously. 1,10,28 The tannin content of wild sample G11027A was higher than those for cultivated beans, though its protein digestibility was the lowest of all samples. Sample J/L-232 with relatively high levels of tannins also exhibited, like bean G11027A, a low protein digestibility.…”

“…8,9 The search for and utilization of useful genes from wild species for improvement of cultivated materials has been practiced with varying degrees of success in different crops. The common beans of cultivated varieties have demonstrated low resistance to storage pests, 10 but extremely high levels of resistance have been found in accessions of wild beans. 11 Resistance to storage pests seems to be associated with the protein arcelin, present only in wild accessions but which has been easily transferred into cultivated types by backcrossing.…”

“…Indirect evidence for a possible deterrent activity of a plant lectin was also shown by Guzman-Maldonado et al (1996) who investigated the relationship between physical and chemical characteristics of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties and their susceptibility to Zabrotes subfaciatus (Boh.). Experiments with Z. subfaciatus in a no-choice experiment indicated that both oviposition and adult emergence are correlated with the lectin content of the bean cultivars but not with seed hardness, seed coat thickness, tannin, trypsin inhibitor or protein content.…”

Deterrent activity of plant lectins on cowpea weevil Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) oviposition

A set of 14 plant lectins was screened in a binary choice bioassay for inhibitory activity on cowpea weevil Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) oviposition. Coating of chickpea seeds (Cicer arietinum L.) with a 0.05% (w/v) solution of plant lectins caused a significant reduction in egg laying. Control experiments with heat inactivated lectin and BSA indicated that the observed deterrent effects are specific and require carbohydrate-binding activity. However, no clear correlation could be established between deterrent activity and sugar-binding specificity/molecular structure of the lectins. Increasing the insect density reduced the inhibitory effect of the lectins confirming that female insects are capable of adjusting their oviposition rates as a function of host availability.
