Mechanistic insight in potential dual role of sinigrin against Helicoverpa armigera.

The adverse effect of glucosinolates on diverse phytophagous insects is well documented, but its impact on insect physiology has remained enigmatic. Here we report insights into detrimental effects of plant glucosinolate molecule, sinigrin, on Helicoverpa armigera growth and development. In-silico screening of multiple glucosinolates predicted sinigrin as one of the potential inhibitor of H.
