Abstract

Two vitellogenic female-specific haemolymph proteins and one yolk-specific protein were demonstrated in Dysdercus intermedius.
The yolk-specific protein includes all female-specific protein
subunits. A cyclical change in the temporal pattern of the female
specific polypeptides occurs during the first gonadotropic cycle. Female
specific polypeptides do not occur in the haemolymph during the
pre-vitellogenic stages of oöcyte development and during formation of
the chorion. Volume changes of the corpus allatum are correlated with
changes in yolk precursors in the haemolymph. Allatectomy by
decapitation of the female during the early pre-vitellogenic stage
suppress the formation of the major female-specific polypeptides.
Applications of juvenile hormone-III or corpus allatum transplantation
restores the ability to produce these polypeptides.
