Abstract

DNJ concentration in silkworm, Bombyx mori was traced through the life. DNJ absent in egg existed over the concentration of 5 mg gdw-1 from 1st instar to 4th day of 5th instar during larva period. DNJ concentration decreased drastically with body weight about at 7-8th day of 5th instar when silk production became a major process. (omitted)
