Abstract
Midgut goblet cells of last-instar larvae of Helicoverpa zea (Lepidopt era : Noctuidae) that were fed precocene II, appear smaller in diamete r and have cavities that are elongated when compared with the goblet c ells of larvae fed on normal diet. These precocene-induced changes may account for some of the decrease in growth and the delayed developmen t observed in the last-instar larvae that were fed diet containing pre cocene II.
