Notizen: The Accessory Sex Glands as the Repository for Juvenile Hormone in Male Cecropia Moths

  • Paul Shirk , Karl Dahm and Herbert Roller

Abstract

Gas chromatographic determinations, bioassays, and radio­ labelling experiments show that the juvenile hormone in adult male Hyalophora cecropia is accumulated exclusively in the accessory sex glands. Moths do not store measurable quantities of juvenile hormone if their accessory sex glands are removed shortly after adult eclosion.
