  <abstract>Fourteen plant lectins from a total of 13 species of plants were studied in artiffcial diet for effect on survival time of adult female Empoasca fabae (Harris). Six of the plant lectins (wheat germ, jackfruit, pea, lentil, red kidney bean, and horse gram)in diet significantly reduced leafhopper survival compared with control diet, at dietary levels o[ 0.2--l.5VoT. he lectin from camel's foot tree lengthened su¡vival and may have been a nutrient source ofamino acids. The other lectins had no effect on survival time. These are the ffrst published accounts identifying candidate proteins for genetic modification ofcrop plants to control a piercing-sucking pest specie</abstract>
