Studies on the Mechanism of Activation of the Ecdysial Glands by Corpora Allata in Brainless Diapausing Pupae of the Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia (L.)
Abstract
Juvenile hormone I acid can activate the ecdysial glands thereby initiating adult development in brainless, diapausing pupae. Dauerpupae when implanted with two pairs of corpora allata from 1-3 day old adult male cecropia moths developed into pupal-adult intermediates. Injection of 100 ug of juvenile hormone I acid into dauerpupae yielded a diversity of pupal and adult development. Juvenile hormone I does not activate the ecdysial glands in dauer-pupae.
