Abstract
THE corpus allatum has been shown to be the source of chemically defined juvenile hormones in five different species of insect1–5. The release of juvenile hormone from active corpora allata is known to be a prerequisite for the rapid induction and promotion of vitellogenesis in adult female insects of several orders, including all tested members of the Orthoptera6,7. It is generally believed that temporal patterns of activity in the adult female corpus allatum are of prime importance in initiating and maintaining oocyte growth6,8.
