Proteinases and peptidases from the intestinal tract of fifth-instar larvae of Hehothis (= Helicoverpa) zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were characterized based on their substrate specificity, tissue of origin, and pH optimum. Activity corresponding to trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidases
The midgut of the larval corn eamorm, Heliothis zea, was examined using light microscopy and immunocytochemistry. Many endocrine-like midgut cells exhibit immunoreactivity to the molluscan cardioactive peptide FMRF-amide (FMRFa), and bovine pancreatic polypeptide (BPP). Cross-reactivity studies demo
