2-Deoxy-alpha-ecdysone from ovaries and eggs of the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

چکیده
From ovaries dissected from developing and emerged adults of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, two substances having high molting hormone activity were isolated. One of these was identified as 2-deoxy-alpha-ecdysone by means of high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Although this compound had previously been isolated from the fern Blechnum minus and postulated to be the precursor of alpha-ecdysone, it had not been obtained from insect material. The compound is also contained in the form of a conjugate in ovaries as well as in diapausing silkworm embryos.

In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of 12 hours delay and time advancement of Bombyx mori larvae transfer to spinning frames on the economic traits of harvested cocoons. Our experience focused on the transfer of three lots of silkworm mature larvae to cocoon frames with 12 hours delay or advancement from usual spinning time. Commercial silkworm eggs were obtained and thr...

The application of 20-hydroxyecdysone on Bombyx mori larvae has been proved to be a significance in the sericulture industry. Variation in the 20-hydroxyecdysone concentration significantly (P <0.05) influenced 1 the reproductive potential of B. mori in terms of fecundity, incubation period and hatchability of eggs. The fecundity and hatchability increased with the increasing number of larval t...
