AGENT THAT MODULATES PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION OF PESTS, INVOLVED IN INSECT VOLTAGE-GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL ACTIVITY

摘要

The present invention provides an agent that modulates physiological condition of pests, wherein the agent has an ability to modulate the activity of an insect voltage-gated potassium channel; a method for assaying pesticidal activity of a test substance, which comprises measuring the activity of a voltage-gated potassium channel in a reaction system in which the voltage-gated potassium channel contacts with a test substance, and so on.
