Fig. 3. Insect bioassay test for sensitivity of four lectins when present with the artificial diet. (A) Different concentration levels of lectin (10–50 µg mL–1) were offered to 16 insects and surivivability was monitored after 2 d. (B) Specific activity of different lectins causing mortality to the insects monitored every day for 5 d, when 20 µg mL–1 of different lectins was mixed with artificial diet.
