[Influence of precocene II on the sensory system of antennae and mouthparts in larvae of the fruit tree tortricid Archips podana Scop. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)].
The influence of precocene II, an antijuvenile agent, on morphological characters of the chemoreceptor apparatus of antennae and mouthparts was studied in fifth instar A. podana larvae. Treatment with different doses of precocene was performed at the egg stage. It proved to cause changes in the form and number of basiconic sensilla on the maxillary palps and galea and in the size of basiconic sensilla on the second and third antennal segments. The results are discussed with respect to the influence of precocenes on the insect sensory system and the role of the juvenile hormone in regulation of its development.
