  abstract = {{T}he cassava mealybug {P}henacoccus herreni ({S}ternorryncha: {P}seudococcidae) is a pest of cassava, {M}anihot esculenta {C}rantz ({E}uphorbiaceae), in {S}outh {A}merica. {P}roteins, representing direct gene products, are prime candidates in genetic engineering manipulations for host plant resistance. {J}atropha gossypiifolia {L}. ({E}uphorbiaceae), a plant species known to contain proteins toxic to insects, exhibited insecticidal properties to {P}. herreni. {T}he toxic compounds consisting of proteins around 101.02 k{D}a appeared to be mostly located in the mature leaves. {F}urther studies are needed to identify the proteins and to ensure that they are not toxic to mammals.},
