Abstract: BACKGROUND Insect Capability neuropeptides (CAP2b/CAPA-PKs) play a critical role in modulating different physiologies and behaviour in insects. In a previous proof-of-concept study, the CAP2b analogues 1895 (2Abf-Suc-FGPRLamide) and 2129 (2Abf-Suc-ATPRIamide) were reported to reduce aphid… read more here.
