Precocene-Induced Sterility in F sub(1) Generation of Glossina morsitans morsitans
Precocene treatment does not disrupt the events of reproduction in G. morsitans morsitans or induce any apparent changes in treated tsetse. However, some females of the F sub(1) generation are either sterile or show retardations in follicle development. Sterility is not reversed spontaneously or wit...

| Summary: | Precocene treatment does not disrupt the events of reproduction in G. morsitans morsitans or induce any apparent changes in treated tsetse. However, some females of the F sub(1) generation are either sterile or show retardations in follicle development. Sterility is not reversed spontaneously or with juvenile hormone analogues. The critical period for precocene action is related to each ovulation. The corpora allata of precocene-treated tsetse are normal, but those of F sub(1) sterile females are degenerated. The occurrence of retardation has enabled the characterisation of stages in follicle development in G. m. morsitans). |
