[Influence of ionizing radiation on the formation of adult antennae in large fruit-tree tortrix Archips podana Scop. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae)].
The influence of sterilizing doses of X-radiation on the formation of adult antennae during the pupa period of development of Archips podana was studied. We found a change in the number of coeloconic and auriculate sensilla in those imago whose pupae were exposed to radiation. A slow-down in the process of antennae formation at the pupal stage was registered after the irradiation of instar five larvae and newly formed pupae.
