Re-evaluation of Manduca blackburni (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]
, 1986 It is shown that Manduca blackburni is a species in its own right as originally described by Butler. It is related to M. quinquemaculata as well as M. sexta, a fact which escaped workers after Kirby (1892)

Journal of Insect Science, 2002 We present evidence for two behaviors influenced by intact, vegetative plant odor -- upwind flight and abdomen curling -- in female Manduca sexta and demonstrate the influence of the age and mating status of the moths on these behaviors.

Novel genes for insect resistance in transgenic plants [PDF]
, 1995 From a cDNA library of potato tuber, cDNAs for the potato carboxypeptidase inhibitors were isolated and characterised by DNA sequencing. One full length clone of each type was used to make plant expression constructs, and these constructs used to ...

Effects of Serotonin and Nitric Oxide on Mid-gut Motility in Tobacco Hornworm (Manduca sexta) Larvae
, 2001 The anterior mid-gut of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, is active in mixing freshly ingested diet with gut secretion. Spontaneous muscle activity is lost when the anterior gut is isolated, suggesting that neural and/or humoral inputs may be ...

The Effects of Iridoid Glycoside Plants on Manduca sexta
, 2018 The study that we conducted investigates how well Manduca sexta will survive off iridoid glycoside(IG) containing plants. We intially believed that Manduca sexta would adapt better to a diet that composed of the artificial diet.
