This review provides an in-depth examination of the intricate interactions between plant metabolites and digestive antioxidative enzymes in insects, highlighting their essential roles shaping insect herbivory adaptation strategies. Plants have evolved a diverse arsenal secondary to defend against herbivorous which, response, developed sophisticated adaptations overcome these defenses efficiently exploit resources. We outline importance enzymes, such as proteases amylases, which allow insects break down complex compounds access vital nutrients.

Due to the wide uses of plastic products, nanoplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in environment. Hence, extensive studies used various models evaluate toxicity nanoplastics. In present study, we developed yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) as an alternative model investigate acute Our results showed that microinjection with 500 mg/kg significantly increased death rate mealworms after 24 or 48 h, 100 nm particles being more effective compared 20 ones. Meanwhile, dose-dependent increase was observed injection 2-200 Exposure 2 but not also led hyperactivity mealworms. Both types altered metabolite profiles, up-regulated and down-regulated 9 12 metabolites, whereas 16 25 respectively. Enrichment analysis revealed affected alpha-linolenic acid metabolism (ko00592) purine (ko00230). For metabolites belonging these pathways, stearidonic guanine. Combined, size-dependent effects on toxicity, profile changes These indicated potential a cheap simple
