SOME PROPERTIES OF GUSTATION IN THE LARVA OF PIERIS BRASSICAE

WEI‐CHUN, MA·1969·Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata

Abstract

The effects of some chemical substances on feeding response were studied in the larvae of Pieris brassicae L. Some synergistic effects between feeding stimulants were found. The larvae appeared to be highly sensitive to deterrents. In the medial sensillum styloconicum of the maxillae a chemoreceptor is present which is stimulated by a wide range of specific feeding inhibitors among which many belong to the alkaloids. Some physiological properties of the deterrent sensitive receptor are given and its significance in food selection behaviour is discussed. RÉSUMÉ QUELQUES PARTICULARITÉS DE LA GUSTATION CHEZ LA CHENILLE DE PIERIS BRASSICAE. Les effets de quelques substances chimiques sur la prise de nourriture ont été étudiés chez la chenille de Pieris brassicae. Des effets synergiques se manifestent entre certains acides aminés ou certaines vitamines et le saccharose, lorsque ces produits sont à des concentrations appropriées. Par ailleurs les chenilles se montrent très sensibles à la présence de substances inhibant la prise de nourriture. Un neurone chimiorécepteur appartenant au sensillum styloconicum médian des maxilles se révèle sensible à une grande variété de ces substances inhibitrices, dont la plupart appartiennent aux alcaloïdes Steroides. Ce récepteur est sensible aux composés voisins de l'ecdysone présents dans certaines plantes, et son rôle physiologique est discuté, en rapport avec le comportement alimentaire et le choix de la nourriture.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Phytoecdysteroids provide chemical defence against certain herbivorous insects through allelochemical properties.

    “In plants, they provide chemical defence against certain herbivorous insects through their allelochemical properties; one of such includes taste receptors which emithormonal disruptions and signal toxicity to insects and other invertebrates7, 8, 9.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
