Abstract

Two stages of postfeeding, third-instar larvae of Sarcophaga bullata were injected with 5-bromodeoxyuridine to examine the effect of the analogue on pupariation and adult differentiation. While pupariation was inhibited in prered spiracle-stage larvae, adult differentiation was unaffected in both stages as revealed by in vivo culture of imaginal discs. It is suggested BudR may be more effective in disturbing certain biochemical processes than in inhibiting morphogenesis.
