Abstract

Age-related variations of acid and alkaline, phosphatases showed that males of Calosobruchus maculatus and females of Zabrotes subfasciatus have higher activity as compared to their opposite sexes at 0-24 hrs after emergence. Two peaks of the phosphatases were observed in both the sexes of two bruchids, first appearing at 3rd day of postemergent survival and second showing a variable pattern. This suggests the species-specific enzyme variation in addition to the definite role of these enzymes during reproduction. The second peak of both the enzyme activities can be assigned to the transport of metabolites to cope with the energy requirements of bruchids.
