Lepidopteran peritrophic membranes and effects of dietary wheat germ agglutinin on their formation and structure

Peritrophic membrane (PM) structure and the effects of dietary wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) on PM formation were studied in larvae of the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis, and the tobacco hornworm (THW), Manduca sexta. Growth of ECB was strongly inhibited by low amounts of WGA in the die...
