The molting fluid of pharate adult Manduca sexta was found to contain at least two types of proteinase inhibitor activities. One inhibited the native cuticle degrading trypsin-like proteinase, MFP1, while the other was found to be highly specific for subtilisin-like enzymes. The developmental profil
The tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) exhibits facultative pupal diapause which is induced by the exposure of young larval instars to short day lengths. The daily body weight of pupae kept in constant humidity and the absence of eye pigmentation, were used as good markers for diapause in this species
During the last larval instar of Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm), the insect enters the wandering phase, in which the animal ceases feeding and the structural reorganization of the midgut begins. Midgut metabolism and ion transport in midguts of feeding and wandering (day 5) fifth-instar tobacco ho
O n the hypothesis that prostaglandins and other eicosanoids mediate nodulation responses to bacterial infections in insects, we describe an intracellular phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in homogenates prepared from hemocytes collected from the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. PLAz hydrolyzes fatty acids fr
