Abstract
By means of in vitro studies, in which isolated suboesophageal of the Bombyx silkworm were cultured, it was shown that at least two Kinds of substances are biosynthesized and exert independent effects on determination of diapause or non-diapause in silkworm eggs. They are referred to as the diapause and non-diapause substance, respectively. Whether diapause or non-diapause eggs are laid may depend upon the different quality of these substances.
