Antifeedant Activity and Active Ingredients Against Plutella xylostella from Momordica charantia Leaves

With the bioguided fractionation of the ethanol extracts from the leaves of Momordica charantia, we obtained two most active compounds against the feeding of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella larvae. The antifeedant activity of momordicine Ⅰ and momordicine Ⅱ against the second and the third instar larvae of Plutella xylostella were tested using leaf discs of cabbage in the laboratory. The results showed that momordicin Ⅰ and momordicin Ⅱ had significant antifeedant activity on the larvae of P. xylostella, and momordicin Ⅱ was more active than momordicin Ⅰ. The concentrations for 50% antifeedant effects （AFC50） of momordicin Ⅱ against the second and the third instar larvae of P. xylostella were 76.69 and 116.24μg mL^-1, whereas that of momordicin I was 144.08 and 168.42μg mL^-1, respectively. In addition, momordicin Ⅰ and momordicin Ⅱ had significant inhibitive effect on the rate of weight gain and survival of P. xylostella larvae.     

The Relationship Between Senescence and Ca^2＋-ATPase Activity of Microsomal Membrane and Lipid Peroxidation in Harvested Peach Fruit

Peach fruit easily soften and have a short storage time at normal temperature. In this study, peach fruit （Prunus persica sieb et Zucc cv. Yingqing） were picked and stored at 25 and 4℃ to investigate the senescence in correlation with Ca^2＋- ATPase activity of microsomal membrane and lipid peroxidation during ripening and senescence. In comparison with that stored at 25~C, the fruit stored at 4℃ exhibited a higher flesh firmness, lower respiration rate, and generated the late bigger peak value of Ca^2＋-ATPase activity as well as maintained the higher activity of the enzyme. Meanwhile, the lower levels of super oxygen radical （O2^-.） production and content of malondialdehyde （MDA）, a product of membrane lipid peroxidation were observed. Sodium orthovanadate （SO） and erythrosin B （EB）, as Ca^2＋-ATPase inhibitors, could stimulate the respiration rate. The results suggested that the slower senescence rate of peach fruit was closely related to the higher peak value and longer duration of Ca^2＋-ATPase activity in microsomal membrane, with the slighter membrane lipid peroxidation and lower O2^-. production rate.
