Abstract

The Bruchid beetles, C. chinensis L. and C. maculatus F. grew in many kinds of beans, but not in kidney beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. Extraction from kidney beans, chromatography and electrophoresis of the extract combined with bioassay for larval growth inhibition of C. chinensis using artificial beans resulted in the isolation of a growth inhibitor, a glycoprotein, whose molecular weight was ca. 48, 000 and isoelectric point, 4.46. The inhibitor was present at a level of 0.6% in kidney beans, and showed α-amylase-inhibitory activity, but it was not a trypsin inhibitor.
