A BIOGENIC AMINE EXPRESSION IN THE SALIVARY GLAND OF TWO MORPHOLOGICALLY DISTINCTIVE RED PALM WEEVIL, RHYNCHOPHORRUS FERRUGINEUS (OLIVIER, 1790) (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE)
Abstract
Salivary gland (SG) is the most significant organ in insect feeding.
Somehow, only few studies have been conducted to understand the
salivary mechanism of Malaysian’s insects. Most work on salivary
gland has been done overseas on pest species, for examples, the
cockroach (Periplaneta americana) e.g. Just and Walz (1994), the
desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) e.g. Kendall (1969), and the
plague locust (Locusta migratoria) e.g. Ali and Orchard (1996).
