| Research Abstract |
The biochemical responses of Bombyx eggs to cold environment was examined from the viewoint of polyol and lipid metabolisms. The sorbitol accumulation was observed even in non-diapause eggs when these eggs were kept below 10゜C. However, the fluctuation of sorbitol would be different between temperatures of 1゜C and 5゜C. This phenomenon may be not due to phosphofructokinase activity but the difference of NAD-sorbitol dehydrogenase activity in the non-diapause eggs under lower temperatures.
As for lipids which would be associated with oxygen permeability of egg-shells on the initiation of diapause, GC-MS analysis indicated that they were consisted of two components: acetate esterified alcohols of chain length C_<32> and C_<52>, saturated. The predominant phosphoglyceride in silkworm eggs is phsphatidylcholone (PC), followed by Phosphatidylethanolomine (PE) and phosphatidyl serine (PS). PC, PE and PS contained palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (C18:3) as fatty acylchains. Unsaturated fatty acid in phosphoglyceride was changed in quality by chilling of the eggs under lower temperatures.
