Insect diapause is associated with physiological dormancy, extension of life span and an altered developmental programme. Reactive oxygen species, oxidative damaged products and antioxidants are being increasingly linked to such processes in insects. Tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury (Lepidoptera:Saturniidae), has an impressive pupal diapause and exhibits a distinct pattern of development in nondiapausing (NDP) pupa compared to that of diapausing (DP) pupa. In this study, we have analysed the amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxidative damaged products along with the levels of antioxidant protection in the hemolymph (HL) and fat body (FB) tissues of developing pupa of A. mylitta from DP and NDP generations having identical chronological age but distinct physiological status.

Low H2O2 and enhanced oxidative resistance in the diapause-destined pupa of silkworm, Antheraea mylitta (Lepidoptera:Saturniidae) suggest their possible involvement in dormancy and lifespan extension
