Cockroach molting. I. Temporal organization of events during molting cycle of Blattella germanica (L.).
The molting cycle of insects has long been used as a model system for studying development. Studies on hormonal control mechanisms (Wyatt, 1972; Doane, 1973; Willis, 1974), pattern formation (Locke, 1967; Lawrence, 1973) and neuronal development (Edwards, 1969) have effectively used the molting and metamorphic cycles of insects to add to our understanding of development. Two insect species whic...
متن کاملCockroach molting. II. The nature of regeneration-induced delay of molting hormone secretion.
1. The amount of regenerating limb tissue does not control the length of molting delay in cockroaches; rather, a programmed delay associated with each autotomy level and segment allows an appropriate delay for accomplishing the necessary regeneration. 2. Delay of molting is accomplished by inhibiting ecdysiotropin release. 3. Each regenerating limb produces a delay independent of other regenera...
متن کاملModeling Currents About Vitellogenic Oocytes of the Cockroach, Blattella germanica.
An insect oocyte with a disc-shaped sink of current on its ventral surface during a vitellogenic phase of development is used to demonstrate modeling of expected currents arising from a mathematically defined source. A simple model with an analytical solution for the expected currents is compared to a more complex model in which expectations are computed by mathematical integration. The current...
متن کاملDe Novo Transcriptome of the Hemimetabolous German Cockroach (Blattella germanica)
BACKGROUND The German cockroach, Blattella germanica, is an important insect pest that transmits various pathogens mechanically and causes severe allergic diseases. This insect has long served as a model system for studies of insect biology, physiology and ecology. However, the lack of genome or transcriptome information heavily hinder our further understanding about the German cockroach in eve...
متن کاملOrigin and extent of resistance to fipronil in the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae).
Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide, was made available in 1999 in bait formulations for use against the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.). We have investigated resistance to fipronil in the descendants of cockroaches collected just before, or contemporaneously with, the introduction of fipronil baits. Cockroaches were obtained in two types of settings: homes that either had or had ...
