abstract
SDS-Page of hemolymph and salivary gland protein of Dysdercus koenigii during larval-adult transformation (post embryonic development) find out the quantitative changes in protein patterns. Comparison of electropherograms of male and female revealed little difference and shows sexual dimorphism, the number of protein increased in all tissues till the third day of fifth instars (Synthetic phase). There after it decrease till the last day (consumption phase). Changes appeared in haemolymph protein during metamorphosis, the number of bands more in female. In adult number of proteins in haemolymph decreased suggesting their role in cuticle formation. By contrast salivary gland shows a sudden increase in number of protein band continuously from third instar to fifth instar and then there is a fall in number of protein band in adult. Some protein band are identify as major hemolymph protein (MHP) in both sexes.
