Effect of precocene on development of ovarian follicles in flesh fly, Sarcophaga ruficornis F.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Administration of precocene II (6,7-dimethoxy-2, 2-dimethyl chromene) to freshly emerged virgin female flies of S. ruficornis adversely affected the development and differentiation of ovarian follicles leading to a number of morphological abnormalities. Precocene treatment resulted into suppression of development of egg chamber, differentiation of follicular epithelium, degeneration of nurse cells, growth of oocyte and uptake of yolk granules by oocytes. The results suggest that precocene induced effects are due to deficiency of juvenile hormone.

Photo-oxidation and Quinacrine Fluorescence Response in the Mitotic Chromosomes of the Flesh-flies Sarcophaga
Experiments have been carried out to investigate the DNA base specificity of lightinduced banding (LIB) produced by photo-oxidation of chromosomes followed by Quinacrine staining to detect denatured DNA. In the present study mitotic preparations from Sarcophaga ruficornis and Sarcophaga argyrostoma were used to detect the visible light and fluorochrome interactions. Our results indicated that s...
متن کاملMode of action of a bactericidal protein induced in the haemolymph of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh-fly) larvae.
The mode of action of a bactericidal protein (sarcotoxin I) purified from the haemolymph of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh-fly) larvae was studied, focusing attention on its effect on the function of the membrane of Escherichia coli. Sarcotoxin I almost completely blocked the uptakes of tetraphenylphosphonium ion and proline, which are known to be driven by a membrane potential, indicating that th...

Larvae of the flesh-fly, Sarcophaga bullata, were injected with the synthetic moulting hormone ecdysterone or saline at the beginning of the third and final larval instar. One group was left untreated. The ecdysterone-injected larvae showed an increase in number of secondary lysosomes in the midgut epithelial cells similar to that observed at the onset of metamorphosis, an event which would nor...

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of an excess intake of quickly degradable nitrogen (QDN) on ovarian follicle development. Twenty lactating dairy cows were fed mixed silage and concentrates twice daily. The control diet was a typical ration for high producing dairy cows in the United Kingdom (crude protein (CP)=17.5%; metabolizable energy (ME)=11.8 MJ/kg DM). The cows were ...
