## Abstract Application of the tetradecapeptide mastoparan to the prothoracic glands (PGs) of the tobacco hornworm, __Manduca sexta__, and the silkworm, __Bombyx mori__, resulted in increases in intracellular Ca^2+^ ([Ca^2+^]~i~). In __M. sexta__, Gi proteins are involved in the mastoparanβstimulat
When an imidazole derivative (KK-42) was applied to day 1 third instar larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, 100% underwent precocious metamorphosis at the end of the fourth instar. Thus, the fourth instar becomes the last instar in these KK-42-treated larvae. The endocrine systems underlying the pre
