Abstract:

Circadian cellulose and cellulase rhythms were studied in the digestive system of Bombyx mori under 12 hr light-dark cycle (LD), continuous light (LL) and continuous dark (DD) conditions.

Keywords:

Bombyx mori, Circadian cellulase rhythm, Circadian cellulose rhythm, Digestive system, Photoperiod.
