Sequestration of cucurbitacins from cucumber plants by Diabrotica balteata larvae provides little protection against biological control agents

Cucurbitaceae plants produce cucurbitacins, bitter triterpenoids, to protect themselves against various insects and pathogens. Adult banded cucumber beetles (Diabrotica balteata), a common pest of maize and cucurbits, sequester cucurbitacins, presumably as a defensive mechanism against their natural...
