(18) Early stages of differentiation of the oocytes and nurse cells are comparatively studied in the polytrophic ovarioles in larvae, pupae and imago of the butterfly Laspeyresia pomonella and in the telotrophic ovarioles in larvae and imago of the bug Eurigaster integriceps.
(19) The levels of potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium in leaves, midgut contents, midgut tissue, and blood were analysed in seven developmental stages between feeding, fourth-instar larvae and new pupae of the Cecropia silkworm.
(20) Starting from a crystal-negative parental strain of Bacillus thuringiensis, we isolated certain bacteriophage-resistant mutants which showed decreased virulence in pupae of the cecropia moth (Hyalophora cecropia).
Pupate
Definition:
(v. i.) To become a pupa.
Example Sentences:
(1) Individual species have different temperature-limits for mating, oviposition and pupation.
(2) No significant differences in survival of larvae either to 20 h or to pupation were obtained between the two treatments.
(3) In a second set of experiments, implants were recovered before hosts pupated and examined for ommatidia using a monoclonal antibody.
(4) The protein content of the haemolymph of untreated larvae increased up to the 4th day of the stage, declined during days 5 and 6, and increased again before pupation.
(5) The order of these species differences was similar whether pupation was measured in light or in darkness.
(6) The degree of synchronism was estimated by the interval during which pupation took place in all larvae of the sample.
(7) Survival of H. lineatum larvae to pupation was significantly reduced in animals immunized with crude larval extract, but not in those receiving culture-derived antigen.
(8) The array is already present at the time of pupation.
(9) Under forced cannibalism and predation fourth instar larvae could not successfully pupate but the duration was prolonged.
(10) HDLp-W1 remains in the hemolymph until pupation, when another form, HDLp-P, with a density between HDLp-W1 and HDLp-L, is present.
(11) Northern blot analysis reveals a major poly(A)+ transcript during two stages of development: mid-embryogenesis and beginning of pupation.

(14) Secretory proteins are synthesized in salivary glands of the insect, Chironomus tentans, and assemble in vivo into silk-like threads which aquatic larvae use to construct tubes for filter feeding and pupation.
(15) DNA puffs occur in Sciarid salivary gland chromosomes; they are sites of DNA amplification and intense transcription and they appear to encode secreted structural proteins needed for pupation.
(16) Fat body organelles including mitochondria, microbodies, and RER are destroyed on a massive scale shortly before pupation (Locke and Collins, 1965; Locke and McMahon, 1971) a new populations of each are regenerated shortly after emergence of the adult.
