The metabolic ability of swallowtails results in the production of bioactive substances from plant components

2025-03-13

Abstract excerpt

Host plant selection may depend on the metabolic system in herbivorous insects. Although oligophagous insects take up specific host plant components, how host plant components and their biological activities are altered through their metabolic systems remains unknown. Here, by examining gene expression of metabolic enzymes and components in the larval frass, we investigated the metabolic ability of Papilio memnon...
