Use of a pollen-based diet to expose the ladybird beetle Propylea japonica to insecticidal proteins.

A rape seed pollen-based diet was developed and found to be suitable for use in a dietary exposure assay for Propylea japonica. Using the diet, we established and validated a dietary exposure assay by using the protease inhibitor E-64 as positive control. Dose-dependent responses were documented for...
