Through the detection of apoptosis

it is proved that certain concentration of ricin can also cause cell death by inducing apoptosis. At the same time

ricin can also be used as a botanical pesticide because of its high toxicity and degradability. This article will focus on the detection of the expression level of Bcl-2 protein

an important protein in the apoptosis pathway

and the use of ricin in botanical pesticides. Experimental results show that ricin can not only cause cell death by inhibiting protein translation

but also activate the apoptotic pathway to induce apoptosis.
