Scanning electron microscopy of different larval stages of the muga silk moth Antheraea assamensis revealed the presence of sensilla chaetica, sensilla trichoidea, sensilla styloconica, gustatory sensilla, sensory pegs, placoid sensilla, etc., on their mouth parts. Some variations were observed in the number and sub-types of sensilla in certain larval stages indicating some differences in sensitivity of the worms in different instars to the food plant and microhabitat.

Spin-Polarized Electron Induced Asymmetric Reactions in Chiral Molecules

Understanding the origin of chirality in nature has been an active area of research since the time of Pasteur. In this chapter
we examine one possible route by which this asymmetry could have arisen, namely chiral-specific chemistry induced by [...]
