Bioassays of purified amylase inhibitor (αAI.Mol) from Moringa oleifera against C. maculates insect larvae: pupation and mortality. (A) Rate of pupation of C. maculates insect larvae. The bioassay was studied by feeding C. maculatus larvae a diet containing purified αAI.Mol and compared to a control of C. maculatus larvae on a diet without the inhibitor αAI.Mol (gray bars). Pupation was recorded every 24 h and continued for up to 5 days. The experiment was repeated in triplicate, and standard deviations were recorded. (B) Rate of mortality of C. maculates insect larvae. Mortality of larvae fed the αAI.Mol-containing diet as compared with the control of C. maculatus larvae on a diet without the inhibitor αAI.Mol (gray bars) diet was studied for up to 5 days.
