| Abstract: | An ultrastructural study of the sex pheromone gland of female adult sugarcane borers suggests that pheromone is not produced during the first 2 hr after emergence but reaches a peak 48 hr after emergence. The sex pheromone gland is composed of two cell types and a number of structural changes observed to occur in the cells of the sex pheromone gland prior to pheromone production are described. |
