Demonstration of Cytotoxicity against Wasps by Pierisin-1: A Possible Defense Factor in the Cabbage White Butterfly

The cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae, produces pierisin-1, a protein inducing apoptosis of mammalian cells. In the present study, the biological activity of pierisin-1 as a protective agent against parasitic wasps for P. rapae was examined. Pierisin-1 caused detrimental effects on eggs and larv...
