Abstract:

The effect of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), iso-citrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were studied The stimulation of G-6-PDH activity in the silk gland of experimental larva indicates increased oxidation of glucose resulting in higher levels of NADPH. Increased G-6-PDH activity in the present study suggests this as compensatory mechanism to maintain the structural complexity, functional integrity and metabolic centrality of the cells The activity of LDH, ICDH, MDH and SDH were increased in the silk gland of IAA treated larvae. The increased activity of the dehydrogenases may be attributed to increased turnover of aminoacids and oxidative metabolism in the silk gland. The activity level of GDH was increased in silk gland which indicates the increased oxidation of glutamate.
