Abstract
We have tested the effects of chemicals on bombykol production in vitr o in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, to probe the biochemical steps as well as underlying mechanisms regulated by PBAN. These results suggest the involvement of calmodulin and phosphoprotein phosphatase in the intra cellular signal transduction of PBAN action.
