Abstract

Incorporation of radioactive N-acetyl- d-glucosamine peaked at 1 and also at 4 days post-pupation. Histological studies indicated that these peaks were related to the production of the ecdysial membrane and underlying imaginal cuticulin layer on the first day and the production of imaginal cuticle on the fourth day. The formation and/or secretion of the larval exocuticle, pre-pupal cuticle and ecdysial membranes were studied.
