Fig. 1.
Effects of low temperature stress on oviposition quantity (A), hatching rate (B), and longevity (C) of Ectropis grisescens Warren.
The data are mean±standard error (SE). Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between male and female adults (P <0.05). Different uppercase letters indicated a significant difference between male and female adults (P <0.05, t-test). The control was treated under the conventional feeding condition (25°C).
Fig. 2.
T-AOC activity effect of low temperature stress on total protein content (A), SOD activity (B), catalase activity (C), POD activity (D), of E. grisescens adults.
The data are mean ± SE. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between male and female adults (P <0.05). Different uppercase letters indicated a significant difference between male and female adults (P <0.05, t-test). The control was treated under the conventional feeding condition (25°C). SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase; POD, peroxidase; T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity.
