Prostaglandins: Their role in egg-laying of the cricket Teleogryllus commodus
AUTOR(ES)
Loher, Werner
RESUMO
Mating of the Teleogryllus commodus female causes increased oviposition mediated by PGE2, which is synthesized in the female's spermatheca from the precursor, arachidonic acid, in the presence of a PG-synthesizing complex. The latter, together with sperm, is transferred from the male to the female via a spermatophore. Only nanogram quantities of PGE2 injected into oviduct are necessary to simulate mating-induced egg release.
