Effect of plant phenolic compounds on the hemocyte concentration and antioxidant enzyme activity in Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) larvae infected by Hyphantria cunea granulovirus

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of phenolic substances in different plants (mulberry, apple, walnut and plum) on hemocyte counts and antioxidant enzyme activities of Hyphantria cunea larvae infected with Hyphantria cunea granulovirus (HycuGV) and uninfected. In the study, the phenolic contents of plant materials were firstly determined. Then, the effects of these ingredients on hemocyte counts and antioxidant enzyme activities of infected and uninfected larvae were determined. As a result of the study, the hemocyte counts of all groups increased with the infection was determined. In enzyme activity, the phenoloxidase (PO) activities of larvae fed on apple leaves and plum leaves containing rosmarinic acid and protocatechuic acid increased with infection was determined. The amounts of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased in all groups as a result of viral infection. While the highest superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities among both infected and uninfected larvae were in the plum groups with the highest amount of chlorogenic acid, the lowest glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were also in these groups. All this showed that different phenolic contents of host plants affected the hemocyte counts and antioxidant enzyme activities of H. cunea larvae.
