Green light and light stress in moth: influence on antioxidant enzymes in the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Recently, light traps equipped with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been widely applied for controlling nocturnal pest moths. The oriental armyworm, known as Mythimna separata Walker, is an important insect pest in eastern Asia. The present study aimed to evaluate an influence of green light irradiation on antioxidant enzymes and light stress in M. separata adults. We determined total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and an activity of superoxide...
