Abstract
In the larva of the butterfly Calpodes ethlius, molt and intermolt syntheses by the epidermis are each preceded by a phase of RNA synthesis. Endocuticle deposition and the secretion of wax are not controlled only by the molting hormone when they take place during the intermolt period.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
