Abstract: | The effects of ingested or injected 20-hydroxyecdysone on silkworm larvae (Bombyx mori) including death without moulting, death following completion of promoted moulting, death during promoted moulting (ecdysis inhibition) and inhibition in growth with and without effects on moulting, are dependent upon the concentration of exogenous hormone, the precise developmental stage of the treated larvae, and the duration of exposure to the exogenous ecdysteroid. Comparisons of 20-hydroxyecdysone with other phytoecdysteroids in the silkworm and pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella, show a similar but more potent effect induced by ponasterone A, while cyasterone causes an ‘antiecdysone’ effect. |
