Determination of Lactic Acid Content during Embryonic Development of the Silkworm under Imposed Photoperiodic Regimes | Chapter 8 | New Innovations in Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol. 3

 When comparing the untreated control to the fluctuations in the lactic acid concentration of developing eggs during the day to day developmental phase, significant adjustments and favourable responses to light induction were identified. Lactic acid deposition during embryonic development in anaerobic environments is an adaptive approach for coping with the unfavourable environmental conditions. The current study is focused on the notion of photoperiodic impacts on the level of lactic acid in the growing silkworm embryo. The lactic acid content slowly decomposed and activated aerobic respiration in silkworm eggs throughout the enforced photoperiodic regimes, which proliferated and aided the rate of increased morphogenesis and organ differential attributable to embryonic age advancement. It is more important in hibernated eggs of the mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori L., than non-hibernated eggs in the adaptation mechanism under harsh environmental conditions. The goal of this research is to look at how the lactic acid content of growing CSR4 breed embryos changes under 16:08 light and dark circumstances.
