Does cannabis resin contain chitinase ?
Title says it all, anyone who can answer this question ? Sam, maybe you know ?
haha, I mistyped the title (i'll put the blame on the Arne's HP trim I've just smoked !). It should of course read "contain", and not contant... Irie !

Pretty far out question, was it a thought you had? Interesting!
Leads me to ask - can insects detect and avoid chitinase?

All outdoor growers have found stucked bugs in the buds, and these are usually all dessicated with only exoskeleton left. Makes me wonder indeed... Quote:

Interesting. I've had a fair few dead bugs on buds I always thought they got trapped. Is worth looking into no matter the answer at least then you'll know. Anyone got any ideas?

Chitinase is a compound produced by insect-eating plants and spiders (there are also chitinases in human gastric juices), used to dissolve the insects' exoskeleton and their flesh & organs for absorption.
Bugs I've found stuck in buds were only empty, dessicated carcasses, so i'm wondering... Irie !

Not sure, but I suspect the dead bugs were parasited by good bugs?

Many organic farmers use crustacean meal in their raised beds and fields both for it's calcium content as well as it's chitin content.
Chitosan is made from extracting the chitin from the shells of lobster, crabs and shrimp. Oysters, clams, mussels, etc. lack this compound. Is chitin/chitosan anything close to chitinase? Just curious. CC |
