Activity of juvenile hormone acid in brainless, allatectomized diapausing cecropia pupae.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pupal diapause in the cecropia silkmoth is terminated by activation of the prothoracic glands. Implantation of adult male cecropia corpora allata or injection of juvenile hormone-I (JH-I) or juvenile hormone-I acid (JH-I acid) causes initiation of development in debrained, allatectomized diapausing pupae. The subsequent development results in formation of second pupae or pupal-adult intermediates. The dose-response patterns for JH-I acid and JH-I are nearly identical. These data suggest that JH-I acid activates prothoracic glands and in addition acts like a morphogenetic hormone.

Active transport by the cecropia midgut. V. Loss of potassium transport during larval-pupal transformation.
Few serious attempts have been made to study either alterations of active ion transport during ontogenic development or the developmental consequences of altered ion environments within and around cells (see Kroeger, 1966 and Harvey & Haskell, 1966 for references). Nevertheless, to cite but a few examples of the importance of the ionic mileau for molecular activities associated with development...
متن کاملComparative studies of oxidative enzyme systems in epidermis and fat body of diapausing and non-diapausing silkmoths.
The activities of four oxidative enzyme systems, including NADH oxidase, succinate-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, and cytochrome c oxidase, were compared in mitochondrial-microsomal preparations from wing epidermis and fat body of diapausing Samia Cynthia pupae, presumptively non-diapausing S. Cynthia ricini pupae which were caused to diapause by removal of the brain, and ...
متن کاملRelationships between locomotor activity, oxidative damage and life span in males and females of the linden bug, Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae)
In this study we addressed a question of whether experimental manipulations that increase life span also reduce physical activity and molecular oxidative damage. We used three phenotypes of male and female Pyrrhocoris apterus that survive for different lengths of time, diapausing insects, reproductive insects and insects from which the corpus allatum, the source of juvenile hormone, was surgica...

-1. Wing epidermis from diapausing and non-diapausing silkmoths (Antheraea pernyi) was assayed for NADH [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form)] oxidase, NADHand succinate-cyctochrome c reductases, and cytochrome c oxidase. 2. Diapausing pupae showed a marked decline in activities after pupation and the same subsequent profile of very low activities reported for diapausing Cecropia si...
متن کاملHemolin expression during Cecropia development and its effect on malaria parasites
Hemolin is a lepidopteran member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, initially isolated from the giant silkmoth Hyalophora cecropia. Hemolin is also induced by stimulation with microbial cell wall components and was recently shown to be strongly upregulated by baculovirus and double stranded RNA. An interesting characteristic of the protein is that it is not only highly expressed during infectio...
