Abstract

In this study, the effects of the chitin synthesis inhibitor, teflubenzuron, on the fifth instar of Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae have been investigated. Teflubenzuron disturbed the cuticle deposition when larvae were fed on semi-artifical diets containing 250, 500 and 1000 ppm teflubenzuron. Thickness of cuticle decreased significantly in treated larvae when compared with the results of the control group.

Özet

Bu çalışmada bir kitin sentez inhibitörü olan teflubenzuronun beşinci evre Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvaları üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Larvalar 250, 500 ve 1000 ppm teflubenzuron içeren yarı sentetik besinle beslendiği zaman teflubenzuronun kütiküla birikimini bozduğu tespit edilmiştir. Teflubenzuron ile muamele edilen larvalarda kütiküla kalınlığı kontrol grubuna kıyasla önemli ölçüde azalmıştır.
