The anatomy of the alimentary canal of A. bipunctata seems to conform to its carnivorous and recent phylogenetic status within the family Coccinellidae.
Digestive enzymes level in the midgut ofAdoretus lasiopygus Burmeister (Scarabaeidae: Coleoptera)
- Biology
- 1986
Enzyme system pertaining to the midgut region ofAdoretus lasiopyous Burm. is studied in vitro. Most of the carbohydrases operate optimally in the mesomesenteron whereas proteinases and lipases behave…
EFFECT OF VARIOUS FACTORS ON THE ACTIVITY OF SUCRASE FROM THE LARVAE OF SESAMIA INFERENS
- Biology
