title: Proline metabolism in heteroptera from different environment.
abstract: Free amino acids composition of six Heteropteran insects belonging to aquatic and terrestral habitate has been observed and it is suggested that the distribution of proline is related to the habitate of these insects. Proline probably plays a role in the retention/conservation of the water in terrestrial insects.
