| Abstract: | Summary Organ cultures containing the sex pheromone gland ofDiatraea saccharalis (F.) (sugarcane borer) were maintained for over 2 months. Juvenile hormone but not ecdysterone appeared to be essential for the maintenance of integrity of the sex pheromone gland in the organ culture system. Muscles associated with these cultures pulsated during hte entire culture period with or without juvenile hormone, suggesting that the hormone requirement was specific for the sex pheromone gland and not a general requirement of the cells of the organ-cultured segment. |
