Abstract
|
|
|
|
his study has been carried out to investigate amylase activity of digestive juice in the 5th day of the 5th instar influenced by the dietary composition (quantitative ratio between carbohydrate and protein) and the rearing temperature during the 4th moulting period. The larvae grew on three kinds of semi-synthetic diets. The A-diet has more carbohydrate than the others, the B-diet has carbohydrate in 1 : 2 with protein, and the C-diet has more protein than the others. All the diets were kept at 16, 25 and 32 during the 4th moulting period. Amylase activity of digestive juice at the 5th day of the 5th instar was analyzed by Fuwa’s method. The results were as follows. 1. Both A and C-diets were worse than B-diet in the larval growth and development. 2. The dietary composition influencing amylase activity of digestive juice was not related to the rearing temperature during the 4th moulting period. Amylase activity was stronger in C-diet, B-diet and A-diet order. 3. It was found that amylase activity at 32 was stronger than that at 16 in all kinds of diets. 4. There was an inter-action in amylase activity of male larval digestive juice between the dietary composition and the rearing temperature during 4th the moulting period.
