Plant and insect

A nucleic acid can never code for a single protein molecule that is big enough to enclose and protect it. Therefore, the protein shell of viruses is built up from many copies of one or a few polypeptide chains. The simplest viruses have just one type of capsid polypeptide chain, which forms either a rod-shaped or a roughly spherical shell around the nucleic acid. The simplest such viruses whose three-dimensional structures are known are plant and insect viruses the rod-shaped tobacco mosaic virus, the spherical satellite tobacco necrosis virus, tomato bushy stunt virus, southern bean mosaic vims.

Differences in post-translational modification (PTM) detail. Human therapeutic proteins produced in several recombinant systems (e.g. yeast-, plant- and insect-based systems Chapter 5) can display altered PTM detail, particularly in the context of glycosylation (Chapter 2). Some sugar residues/motifs characteristic of these systems can be highly immunogenic in humans.

Throughout history, mankind has always been interested in naturally occurring compounds from prebiotic, microbial, plants and animals sources. Various extracts of flowers, plants and insects have been used for isolating compounds whose task, color and odor could be used for various purposes. Many natural products, such as plant hormones, have a regulatory role, while others function as chemical defense against pests. The role of certain compounds is to act as chemical messengers, such as sex-attractants (pheromones) in insects, terrestrial and marine animals and humans. What is the origin of natural products ... 

I wiii argue in this chapter that the very process of hydrolysis is an event under the evolutionary control of the competing interests of plant and insect species, and that "toxic" plant glycosides should be regarded as such only in terms of an inseparable, targeted glycoside-glycosidase system. 

I will extend this argument to encompass the diversification of such systems in lineages of plants in an effort to correlate enzyme-mediated glycoside toxicity with the evolution of host plant specificity and the coevolution of plants and insects. 

Cardiac glycosides have high biological activity not only medically but also as defense substances in both plants and insects (8,9). A separation of two cardiac glycosides is shown in Figure 11. To reduce the peak tailing the ion source temperature and the solvent flow rate were increased. 

In the tropical biomes, plants and insects contribute the largest number of species and are also responsible for the bulk of secondary metabolites. The diversity of tropical microorganisms is much less known.

The evolution of movement and behaviour also opened up a huge range of threats and opportunities to the land plants. It is not practical to consider all the range of species interactions in this chapter therefore, examples will be drawn from the interaction of plants and insects.
