The stimulatory effect of 2-deoxyecdysone on spermiogenesis of the diapausing cabbage armyworm, Mamestra brassicae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), in vitro

Testes obtained from the diapausing pupae of Mamestra brassicae were cultivated in Grace's medium containing 2-deoxyecdysone, which was previously detected from testis culture medium. 2-Deoxyecdysone induced spermiogensis in cultivated testes. The elucidation of activity of 2-deoxyecdysteroids...

Zusammenfassung:Testes obtained from the diapausing pupae of Mamestra brassicae were cultivated in Grace's medium containing 2-deoxyecdysone, which was previously detected from testis culture medium. 2-Deoxyecdysone induced spermiogensis in cultivated testes. The elucidation of activity of 2-deoxyecdysteroids is discussed.
