Identifying insecticidal, acaricidal/nematicidal active compound comprises contacting succinate-ubiquinone-oxidoreductase (SQR) with candidate-compounds, determining SQR activity and selecting the compound that inhibits enzyme activity

摘要

Procedure for identifying insecticidal, acaricidal and/or nematicidal active compounds comprises contacting succinate-ubiquinone-oxidoreductase (SQR) with one or more candidate-compounds; determining the activity of the SQR; and selecting the candidate-compound, which inhibits the activity of the SQR and conforming the insecticidal, acaricidal and/or nematicidal activity through in-vivo-test.
