Abstract
⺠A dose-response was observed between Zn accumulations in S. litura larvae midgut and Zn concentrations in diet. ⺠Metallothionein in midgut of S. litura larvae was positively correlated with Zn accumulations in the midgut. ⺠Numerous electron-dense granules and vacuoles appeared in cytoplasm of the midgut from Zn stress treatments. ⺠MT induction and EDGs are the effective detoxification mechanisms for S. litura larvae to protect against heavy metals.
