Abstract
Toxicological data on silkworm Bombyx mori are quite comparable to those of other epidopteron pest insects, therefore it is considered as a suitable model for exploring effects of new synthetic formulations. In this study, egg cards of silk moth B.mori were chosen to evaluate the lethal and sublethal toxicity effects of RH-2485 on yolk protein degradation. Protein profile of eggs were carried out on 7% native PAGE and further separated on 7% SDS PAGE. Freshly laid eggs of silk moth B.mori were treated with three different concentrations viz 0.1%, 1.0 % and 10.0 ppm of methoxyfenozide (RH -2485). Protein profile of freshly laid eggs of day 3, day 5 and day 7 were studied on 7% Native PAGE and 7%SDS-PAGE.
