Adult longevity was assessed after emergence by transferring individuals to Eppendorf tubes, where they were monitored for survival. Results showed significant differences in insect emergence and longevity across substrates, with rice and wheat flours supporting the highest emergence rates and wheat providing the longest adult longevity.

Altering the external calcium levels in the medium has been documented to impact the success rate of microspore embryogenesis initiation.

We examined microspore cytological development, specifically vacuolation types and first division pattern. We also used Fluo 3-AM staining to observe the calcium dynamics, including accumulation and distribution of intracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) under fluorescent microscope. Metabolomic analysis of induced microspores was carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The result showed that at 2.0 mM CaCl2.2H2O treatment, 57.06 ± 6.95% of microspores exhibited star-like structures, and 47.39 ± 8.84% underwent symmetric first division, twice as effective as 1.0 mM. Fluo 3-AM staining revealed increased Ca2+ fluorescence on day one, persisting in 2.0 mM treatment by day three. By day six, fluorescence in 1.0 mM and 2.0 mM treatments significantly differed. Intracellular Ca2+ signals rose with 1.0 mM CaCl2.2H2O and fell with 2.0 mM CaCl2.2H2O.
