| Abstract: | The spermathecal accessory glands of female mealworm beetles become fully active by six days after pupal-adult ecdysis. Coincident with the morphological maturation, increases occur in protein and RNA content and in total leucine incorporation. Three classes of differentiation-specific proteins are increasingly prominent and show heightened rates of leucine incorporation by the sixth day. |
