C. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access The cassava mealybug Phenacoccus herreni (Sternorryncha: Pseudococcidae) is a pest of cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz (Euphorbiaceae), in South America. Proteins, representing direct gene products, are prime candidates in genetic engineering manipulations for host plant resistance. Jatropha gossypiifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae), a plant species known to contain proteins toxic to insects, exhibited insecticidal properties to P. herreni. The toxic compounds consisting of proteins around 101.02 kDa appeared to be mostly located in the mature leaves. Further studies are needed to identify the proteins and to ensure that they are not toxic to mammals. specialized Colombia Euphorbiaceae cassava Sternorrhyncha Pseudococcidae artificial diet host-plant resistance toxic proteins 076 94 3 649-654 2011 0015-4040 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053895 10.1653/024.094.0330 0015-4040 [F B010053895] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053895 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2011/10/010053895.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2011-11-07 2023-03-03 fdi:010053895 fre
