Research Abstract |
The lepidopteran insects have specific relationships with their host plants. The mulberry contains toxic sugar-mimic alkaloids s, and the insects fed on mulberry must overcome their toxicity. We compared the function of the midut sucrases, which may play a crucial role in the tolerance to the alkaloids, between mulberry feeders such as Bombyx mori and Rondotia menciana and closely-related non-mulberry feeders such as Trilocha varians. As the result, we found that mRNAs for alkaloid-resistant sucrases are more highly expressed in mulberry feeders than in non-mulberry ones. We also found a gene encoding an enzyme that plays an important role in the metabolism of quercetin, a component in mulberry.
