Cuticle deposition in imaginal disks: effects of juvenile hormone and fat body in vitro

Cuticle deposition in imaginal disks: effects of juvenile hormone and fat body in vitro

H Oberlander et al. Science. .

Abstract

Wing disks from the last larval instar of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), were successfully cultured in modified Grace's medium. 20-Hydroxyecdysone induced cuticle deposition in these disks in vitro. This response was enhanced by treating the medium with larval fat body and was inhibited by application of juvenile hormone.
