Abstract

Incorporated in this paper were the results of a study made on the quantitative variation of total carbohydrate, protein and lipid in whole body, fat body and integument of the larval and pupal developmental stages in rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (St.) a storage grain pest. All three macromolecules referred to in case of whole body, exhibited a progressively decreasing trend from larva to pupa. In fat body total carbohydrate and protein contents were more in pupa than larva, while in integument the said nutrients were less in pupa than larva, showing the reverse results. The lowering down of the nutrients' level under stress caused by pyrethrum (a botanical insecticide) was also observed. The physiological and statistical significance of these findings was discussed.

Résumé

On trouvera dans cette thèse les résultats d'une étude faite sur la variation quantitative de la totalité de carbohydrate, protein et lipid dans le corps humain. Elle a étudié la transformation catégorique de larve et de pupe observé à la nutrition avec la Corcyra cephalonica (St.). Ces trois moeromolecules dans le corps humain démontrent progressivement une tendance decroissante de la larvae à la pupe. Dans le corps gras, l'existence naturelle de carbohydrate et de protein est supérieure dans la pupe que dans la larve. Tandis que, la transformation remarqué après administration de nutriment est imférieure dans la pupe que dans la larve, démontrant un résultat inverse. Une étude sur les faits observé dans le signification physiologique endiminuant le niveau de nutriuent par application de pyrèthrum (un insecticide botanique) est également élaborée.
