Fig. 5. Effects of rearing on diet containing low concentration of monocrotaline.
(A) Response of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) cells in the lateral galeal
sensillum to 10-7 mol l-1 seneciphylline
N-oxide after 24 h of exposure to synthetic diets containing
different concentrations of monocrotaline. Only those individuals that
responded in a typical manner are shown. (B) Percentage of insects in each
category in which sensory shutoff of the PA cell was observed (% less than 10
spikes). (C) Numbers of fecal pellets produced in the 24-h test feeding
period. Bars represent means, and vertical lines represent
S.E.M.
