They tended to exert antioxidant effects via the sequential proton loss electron transfer mechanism in polar media, whereas the hydrogen atom transfer mechanism was more likely to occur in non-polar media. In addition, frontier molecular orbital theory and energy barrier analysis suggested that 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2-benzenediol was more likely to react with DPPH·.

Then, the acquired dataset was subjected to functional annotation through a similarity search against UniProt-Trembl database, gene ontology (GO) using BLAST2GO, InterPro protein domain classification, cluster of orthologous groups (COG), and KEGG pathway prediction. To determine the expression of the predicted genes, TPM value was calculated using the available transcriptomic dataset of M. plana. We identified a total of 948 secretory proteins from the initial screening of the 28,738 proteins predicted from BRAKER2 pipeline. Several proteins were classified as specific protein classes associated with effector functions in insect pests, namely detoxifying enzymes, lipases, peroxidases, Ca2+ binding proteins, and chemosensory and odorant binding proteins.
