Control of oxidative phosphorylation during insect metamorphosis.
The midgut of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) is a highly aerobic tissue that is destroyed and replaced by a pupal epithelium at metamorphosis. To determine how oxidative phosphorylation is altered during the programmed death of the larval cells, top-down control analysis was performed on mitochondria isolated from the midguts of larvae before and after the commitment to pupation. Oxygen c...
متن کاملChanges in neuronal circuits during insect metamorphosis.
During metamorphosis insects undergo dramatic changes in both form and behaviour. Cell birth and death, as well as neurone respecification all contribute to the overall reorganization of the nervous system. Within the visual and chemosensory processing areas of the insect brain large numbers of newly-generated adult neurones are incorporated into the larval nervous system. In the abdominal gang...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Chemical Changes during Insect Metamorphosis
THE complex chemical changes associated with metamorphosis have long been of interest to biochemists, but a detailed study of one type is not yet available, in spite of much attention having been paid to the silkworm. The subject of this study is the sheep blow-fly Lucilia sericata Meigan. This insect is very suitable for an investigation of this kind since the prepupal stage, morphologically s...
متن کاملIndependent steroid control of the fates of motoneurons and their muscles during insect metamorphosis.
The metamorphosis of insects is controlled by the blood titers of a small number of developmental hormones including a class of steroids, the ecdysteroids. We have studied the developmental fates of several muscles and their motoneurons during the larval-pupal transformation of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. The endocrine events which trigger pupal development are first, a fall in the blo...
متن کاملImmunological Studies of Insect Metamorphosis
1. The cell-free blood of the Cecropia silkworm produces a maximum of nine bands of antigen-antibody precipitate when reacted in antiserum-agar tests with antisera prepared by injecting Cecropia extracts into rabbits. The blood antigens producing these bands of precipitate have the properties of proteins in that they are non-dialyzable, labile at 75 degrees C., and salted out by 75 per cent sat...
