EFFECT OF SOME NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC COMPOUNDS ON THE PROTEIN PATTERN OF Muscina stabulans (FALLEN) PUPAE.

Abstract

The present investigation deals with the effect of Insect growth regulator (Flufenoxuron), volatile oil extract of Imperata cylinderica and fixed oil extract of Glycine soja on the protein pattern of Muscina stabulans pupae resulting from treated third larval instar. The mean total protein content was disturbed by the LC50 of the tested compounds. These results were verified electrophoretically as the tested compounds caused disturbance in the protein fractions through the appearance and disappearance of some protein bands compared with that of control.
