摘要: Due to the increasing resistance to traditional insecticides and their negative impact on the ecological balance of pest control, there is a global trend to reduce pesticide use and develop effi cient, low-toxicity and environmentally friendly biopesticides. Toxins with insecticidal or paralytic activity derived from the venom of predatory natural enemies have emerged as a novel strategy for the development of novel biopesticides. In this study, a small molecular toxin, philanthotoxin-7,4 (PhTx-74), was identified in the venom gland homogenates of the predatory stink bug Arma custos (Hemiptera: tions into Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae and Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) nymphs resulted in paralysis and subsequent mortality. The feeding of PhTx-74 to Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) larvae showed that PhTx-74 caused death. In addition, PhTx-74 exhibited no toxicity to the non-target organisms Danio rerio (Cyprinidae: Danionidae). This study identifies a small-molecule toxin with paralytic effects, demonstrating the potential of predatory insect venoms as sources of insecticidal agents.
