 @article{dowd_mehta_boston_1998, title={Relative toxicity of the maize endosperm ribosome-inactivating protein to insects}, volume={46}, ISSN={["0021-8561"]}, DOI={10.1021/jf980334w}, abstractNote={The relative toxicity of proenzyme and protease-activated forms of maize seed ribosome-inactivating protein (b-32) to several insect species was determined. Only the protease-activated form had significant toxicity to any caterpillars when fed in diets at 1 mg/g of diet. Activity ranged from 70% mortality to cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) to no effect to Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella). Neither form of the protein showed activity against larvae of the Freeman sap beetle, (Carpophilus freemani). However, the proenzyme and protease-activated forms were approximately equally deterrent in choice assays to other sap beetles and maize weevils (Sitophilus zeamais), with relative feeding rates reduced by up to 6-fold. Because this protein can naturally occur at the 1 mg/g endosperm range in the endosperm of Opaque-2 (normal) plants versus 2 orders of magnitude lower in opaque-2 mutants, it is likely that this RIP plays a natural defensive role against insects. However, some insects appear to have adapted to this protein.}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY}, author={Dowd, PF and Mehta, AD and Boston, RS}, year={1998}, month={Sep}, pages={3775–3779} }

Genotypes studied included GT-MAS:gk and Mp420, which are resistant to A. flavus infection and aflatoxin accumulation, and Pioneer 3154 and Deltapine G-4666, which are susceptible to A. flavus infection and aflatoxin accumulation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resolved five protein bands that were present at higher concentrations in germinated kernels than in nongerminated kernels. Western blot analyses revealed that one of these proteins reacted with the 22-kDa zeamatin antiserum, and a zeamatin-like protein accumulated to a higher concentration in germinated kernels. Two protein bands from dry kernels that reacted with ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) antiserum were identified as the 32-kDa proRIP-like form and an 18-kDa peptide of the two peptides that form active RIP. However, in germinated kernels, two protein bands that reacted with RIP antiserum were identified as two RIP-like peptides with a molecular mass of ≈18 and 9 kDa. Purified RIP and zeamatin from corn inhibited growth of A. flavus. Bioassays of germinated kernel extracts from all four genotypes exhibited antifungal activity against A. flavus and F. moniliforme, with extracts from the susceptible genotypes showing greater inhibition zones. This study provides evidence of protein induction in corn kernels during imbibition or the early stages of germination, and the induced proteins may be related to our previous findings of germination-associated resistance in the corn kernel, especially in the susceptible kernels. }, number={11}, journal={PHYTOPATHOLOGY}, author={Guo, BZ and Chen, ZY and Brown, RL and Lax, AR and Cleveland, TE and Russin, JS and Mehta, AD and Selitrennikoff, CP and Widstrom, NW}, year={1997}, month={Nov}, pages={1174–1178} }
