COMBINED INFLUENCE OF X-RAYS AND COLD CONDITIONS ON HEEP AND METABOLISM PROLIN IN HARICOT BEETLES AND LARVAE $ACANTHOSCELIDES~OBTECTUS~SAY$

Abstract

The quantity of free prolin in radiated beetles which are kept for 48 hours in cold conditions increases in comparison with non-radiated beetles, but it remains on the same level as in the radiated beetles kept in warm conditions for 48 hours. The activity of the enzymes of prolin biosynthesis increases 4.5 times, because of the X-rays and cold conditions, in comparison with beetles only radiated, but it does not change in no-radiated beetles. The activity of the enzymes of prolin catabolism increases 1.2 times. Ripe larvae are originated from the radiated eggs, the enzymes of prolin biosynthesis and catabolism fails 2 times.
