Hooked trichomes on the French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris have been reported to capture a diverse group of insect species including the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (17), and the aphids, Myzus perslcae (18), Aphis fabae (19), and Aphis craccivora (20)1 A recent study has shown that the major factor... 

Generally, insect nAChRs clearly vary with specificity of their interaction with neonicotinoid insecticides however, the appropriate subunit is unclear so far. An investigation that supports the hypothesis that there is a conserved neonicotinoid special sensitive subtype of the nAChR binding site in different insects like Musca domestica, D. melanogaster, Aphis craccivora, Myzus persicae has been discussed [97].

The active ingredient has been profiled in comparison to analogous derivatives in a battery of assay systems inter alia, against Aphis craccivora, Myzus persicae, Nilaparvata lugens, Spodoptera littoralis and Diabrotica balteata), and proved to be superior (Fig. 8.52 and Fig. 8.53).

Interestingly the authors were not able to obtain consistent data for specific binding of [ H]THIAM 6 to Aphis craccivora (cowpea aphid) membranes at 22 °C, but at 2 °C. However, for M persicae (green peach aphid) they obtained binding at both temperatures. 

Binding of [ H]imidacloprid to membrane preparations from whole aphids has been studied to determine its affinity and number of binding sites 8, 15). The affinity (ATj) of imidacloprid was 1.7 nM and 6.1 nM with Myzus persicae and Aphis craccivora, respectively. The binding capacities (Bbhk) were 915 finol/mg protein and 1330 taol/mg protein, respectively.
