Remodeling of the corpora cardiaca and the corpora allata during adult metamorphosis in Bombyx mori: identification of invisible corpora cardiaca by the expression of adipokinetic hormone

It is problematic to identify the corpora cardiaca (CC) of pupal and adult stages of Bombyx mori because of the presence of tissues similar in appearance near the associated corpora allata (CA). To find the CC, we performed in situ hybridization experiments using the adipokinetic hormone II (AKH-II)...
