We isolated oryctin, a 66-residue peptide, from the hemolymph of the coconut rhinoceros beetle Oryctes rhinoceros and cloned its cDNA. Oryctin is dissimilar to any other known peptides in amino acid sequence, and its function has been unknown. To reveal that function, we determined the solution
Oryctes rhinoceros virus (OrV) is an unassigned invertebrate dsDNA virus with enveloped and rod-shaped virions. Two cloned PstI fragments, C and D, of OrV DNA have been sequenced, consisting of 19,805 and 17,146 bp, respectively, and comprising about 30% of the OrV genome. For each of the two
Oryctes rhinoceros Linn. is one of the most serious pests of coconuts and other palms. Following bioassay guided method, a larvicidal compound, 22-hydroxyhopane has been isolated for the first time from methanol extract of leaves of Adiantum latifolium Lam. against the pest (LC50 value
