The range of PM morphology observed in 4th instar T. ni larvae raised on 3 different diets: artificial diet, cabbage, and potato. (A) Depicts an example of the most organized appearance of the PM for each diet and (B) depicts an example of the least organized. Note the bends/kinks present in the example of PM of potato-fed larvae at its least organized (bottom right image). Left column: larvae raised on artificial diet (top image magnification = 13,500×; bottom image magnification = 10,500×). Middle column: larvae raised on cabbage (top image magnification = 25,000×; bottom image magnification = 19,000×). Right column: larvae raised on potato (top image magnification = 10,500×; bottom image magnification = 13,500×). Bars = 500 nm. Black arrows point to microvesicles, which are present significantly more in potato-fed larval PMs regardless of the level of organization.
