| Abstract | Silk gland is a larval specific tissue of lepidopteran insects and begins to degenerate shortly before pupation. Programmed cell death (PCD) of the anterior silk gland of Bombyx mori last instar larvae was studied in vivo and in vitro, focusing on the effects of 20- hydroxyecdysone (20E). The glands began to exhibit signs of PCD in vivo 2 days after gut purge and comp-leted PCD by 48 h. In vitro, 20E prematurely induced PCD, and its completion took 144 h (6 days). An oligo-nucleosomal ladder pattern was observed in DNA extracted at the end of PCD. Caspase 3 inhibitor inhibited attainment of full PCD, but it did not block chromatin condensation as revealed by acridine orange staining. α-Amanitin inhibited the PCD induced by 20E in vitro if added to the culture in the first 8 h. Similarly, cycloheximide and emetine completely blocked PCD when applied in the first 18 h of culture with 20E. These results indicate that 20E-stimulated transcription and protein synthesis for PCD are completed in 8 h and 18 h, respectively. Nevertheless, withdrawal of 20E from the medium at different times showed that 20E must be present in vitro for 42 h to elicit full PCD. Current results indicate that the effects of 20E on the progression of PCD are mediated by two distinct processes – one through nuclear hormone receptors, and the other independent from de novo gene expression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
